everyone else in the admin over the last couple days: what are you talking about, there was no attempted government censorship, stop fearmongering trump: I’m gonna sue them for putting kimmel back on the air

Presumably Apple makes it easy for people to cancel subs and explain the reason for the cancellation. And the question remains: how much inconvenience will Americans manage in doing the right thing.

Seems bad for our society when you can’t make racist terrorists the villains

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

this really does succinctly explain every single pathetic, boot-suckling behavior we’ve been seeing from the pampered pundit class

Trump said he wanted a statue. What's the problem?

Horrifying, insane scoop from @vivmccall.bsky.social . Five beatings of trans women have occurred in Seattle so far this year. The suspects have all been men. In at least one case, random men—strangers—have joined in on the attacks. Depraved shit. www.thestranger.com/news/2025/09...

Since Nov 2023 my job has been editing and publishing a small journal of progressive foreign policy ideals, aimed at DC foreign policy types. There's the easy task: imagining better than what Biden did & Trump is doing. And there's the hard task: imagining internationalism that can survive Trumps.

Trump sending billions to Argentina to bail out their economy and protect the investments in that country of his US billionaire cronies. Trump supporters living paycheck to paycheck: Trust in Trump. The man is a genius and he loves and cares about us. ‘Merica First!

"Pain only hurts" is the hardest line of this interview

I'm willing to extend some grace for varying interpretations but this is straightforward wrecker shit from Sharlet and he should feel bad about it.

Despatches from a civilised country: COVID booster scheduled online for Saturday afternoon. Covered of course by the national health plan.

Never negotiate with terrorists. The Republicans have the House, Senate, White House and Supreme Court. Let them figure that shit out.

The actual quote. “Look as far as I’m concerned he’s the democratic nominee and should be supported.” Get the fuck out of here with this nonsense.

When a typo in your Google search leads to new and exciting philosophical positions

The more jazz hands, the bigger the lie.

These agents should never know a moment’s peace. I think what is uniquely sadistic about them is how much fun they are having.

Evil rules the day in this country

Curious about what kind of redress Tylenol has. I mean, when an unhinged loon stands in front of the world and says your product causes autism, what next?

Trump’s attack on vaccines yesterday — delivered from the White House — “was the most dangerously irresponsible press conference in the realm of public health in American history” @pauloffit.bsky.social told us. More on Trump’s false claims with @lenasun.bsky.social

Walk this way

The whole administration in one quote

big part of this is because they sent the health reporters, not the political reporters

News photographers have to be ready to meet the moment and the Chicago Tribune's Stacey Wescott did that superbly. She tells the story here: www.chicagotribune.com/2025/09/22/t...

Certiorari "before judgment" is how #SCOTUS takes up a full appeal *before* the intermediate federal courts have heard it. It used to be exceedingly rare. For instance, there wasn't a *single* grant of such expedited review b/w August 2004 & February 2019. This is the *23rd* such grant since then.

Kimmel back, the Feds find no link between the Kirk shooter and lefties. Rough day in MAGAland.

There will be sad MAGA people saying various things, and they will be fools. A big loss for Trump. Now let's see the FCC try some shit.

EXCLU: @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social will announce today he is cancelling a televised town hall with WABC News planned for Sept. 25 in the wake of the network suspending comedian Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show last week. www.amny.com/news/mamdani...

Sorry I missed this. Please tell me someone suggested "Kirkegaard's Quandary."

now that this is a national story I would like some national reporters to get into how much this is downstream of his personal feud against DSA state legislators in Brooklyn whom he has been trying and failing to unseat for a couple cycles now

"The United States is less democratic, less self-governing, more dysfunctional, and more corrupt than it was 20 years ago, thanks in large part to the Supreme Court’s rulings." newrepublic.com/article/1997...

every journalist knows they are packaging the entire Charlie Kirk story dishonestly, and they all think it is incredibly rude to point that out

It is fucked up what they did to the headphone jack

"Its a bloodbath. You'll walk into the resus area.. bits of flesh everywhere.. the horror of it all.. limbs missing.. I've lost count of the amount of multiple amputations I've done.. there's no words.." Dr Saya Aziz speaking from Al Shifa hospital ion Gaza city

MCO latest: NYC private equity giant Apollo Global Management is negotiating taking a majority stake in Atlético de Madrid. www.expansion.com/empresas/202...

brilliant news from Italy

It’s just going to be a very funny seasons with Arteta and Pep doing various weird versions of struggle ball control while Liverpool YOLO it out of their ears.

[Loan Watch] ⚽ Ansu Fari scored two goals today in the league and had a great game overall. He is now on 3 goals in 2 games

As long as his party and his base are fine with it, and they are, on iy goes. Watergate was bipartisan outrage. Imagine if Republicans had said, "Yeah, this is fine."

The problem with America is rather than outrage, people will be wondering if there are ways to mimic this with their Roths.

Americans, by huge margins want Russia out of Ukraine & Israel out of Gaza. We want the bloodshed to end. Donald Trump knew that last year. That’s why he told us he would end both wars on day one when he campaigned for office. But that promise was a lie. My latest: open.substack.com/pub/edwineis...

sinclair pulled its kirk tribute six minutes before it was set to air on its abc affiliates

Holy shit. I know this dude from cycling. He is an absolute badass on two wheels, and apparently off two wheels as well. Damn, Curtis.

Wow

Whew. Not in someone's backyard. This is awesome news.

They made it clear already they wouldn't be bound by the constitution. Their president is underscoring that and they are going along. The only amendment sacred for them is the second. No idea why anyone is at all surprised. November 2024 was America's FAFO moment. Now in the FO phase.

England waking up to genius of Pedri today. Think was his first competitive game here last night. Missed 2nd leg v MUFC in EL in 2023 after getting injured in 1st leg & also wasn’t fit for EURO 2024 final v 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (admittedly played in 🇩🇪). Improved since under Flick in deeper role

It's done to death, but man, imagine if Joe Biden had openly threatened to use the government to block Rupert Murdoch's business deals or strip away broadcast licenses from their stations unless Fox News fired Jesse Watters or something.

Wait 'til they find out that those "warriors" don't want to be actual warriors. They just want to be able to use the n-word at Black people and control women's bodies.

“I do not understand why people are not standing up and pushing back when they ought to, because what’s at stake here is free speech, it’s our Constitution and our way of life. Do we really want the president of the United States intimidating people, organizations to get others fired?” — Pritzker
