I know it is wrong, but isn't this the Republican version of what they accuse DEI of doing? Hiring without merit or skill? Simply because someone is white, conventionally attractive and a crazy evangelical christian?

BREAKING NYT:   Trump just fired a U.S. attorney who insisted on following a court order.   Michele Beckwith, the top federal prosecutor in Sacramento, was fired hours after she reminded a Border Patrol chief to abide by court-ordered restrictions on immigration raids.

The dinosaur exhibition at Shanghai Natural History Museum features 118 fossils and a naked-eye 3D projection mapping on walls. It offers immersive, glasses-free experiences tracing dinosaur evolution with interactive displays and multimedia shows. The video looks unreal—I want to see it live.

As soon as the governor signs this illegal bill, Missouri will be sued. I don't bluff and I usually win.

President Trump is continuing his unjust campaign of retribution against his perceived political enemies. Weaponizing the justice system to target his critics is a blatant abuse of presidential power.

Rest well Belva Davis 🙏🏾

Bay Area TV news icon Belva Davis dies at 92 Davis was the first African-American woman to have become a television reporter on the U.S. West Coast and won eight Emmy Awards over the course of her career https://www.sfchronicle.com/sf/article/bay-area-tv-news-icon-belva-davis-dies-92-21066271.php

When I think about my 24 years in journalism, there are few experiences I value more than appearing on KQED’s “This Week in Northern California” many times with Belva Davis, who died yesterday at 92. Belva was an iconic barrier-breaker and an incisive journalist; I’m honored to have sat by her side.

Wonderful former colleague of mine and Bay Area TV news icon Belva Davis dies at 92 www.sfchronicle.com/sf/article/b...

The Dallas shooter was NOT anti-ICE. He was a right wing 4chan video game addicted meme-lord who was anti-immigrant. FFS! The left doesn’t do high powered weapons to kill people from afar! Mass shootings of innocent people is a power trip for WHITE DUDES!

Republicans know this, they're just gaslighting people to keep us fighting with each other and not spotlighting the failure's of our so-called leaders! It's well past time for new leadership!!

The National Archives released the military records of Mikkie Sherrill, then admitted they shouldn't have. The documents appear to contain personal information like her SSN number, per ABC: abc7ny.com/post/calls-i...

1. A new The 19th/SurveyMonkey Poll finds that a majority of Americans are against trans youth care bans. This includes a majority of Independent voters, casting doubt on the narrative that Democrats need to pull back on transgender people. Subscribe to support our journalism.

We can’t allow ourselves to become numb to this type of corruption. That's why @warren.senate.gov and I are calling for investigations into whether President Trump's top aides are personally profiting off of deals that should *only* benefit the American people. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/24/u...

Another step of the Trump administration’s concerted strategy to undermine elections: the Justice Department is suing eight states to acquire their voter files. The Brennan Center is tracking the department's requests for sensitive records and how states are responding.

Resource to track which states have had their voter files requested, and which states have responded and how. Neat color coded map makes it easy to digest quickly. AND IT GETS UPDATED REGULARLY

The National Archives under the Trump administration released @mikiesherrill.bsky.social full, unredacted Navy personnel file to Jack Ciattarelli's campaign. This is an unprecedented and illegal weaponization of the National Archives and private, personal records to attack a political opponent.

We're quickly losing our leadership role in the world. This is not a winning position.

"US is retreating from renewable energy while China is expanding. As Trump doubles down on fossil fuels, US & China offer competing visions for future of energy. China’s dominance in renewable-energy manufacturing poses challenges for other countries wanting to transition to clean energy quickly."

Patel is basically admitting on camera that the FBI no longer adheres to the Attorney General Guidelines, which prohibits investigating U.S. persons based solely on First Amendment activity (including membership in a group).

The National Archives released a mostly unredacted version of Rep. Mikie Sherrill's military records to an ally of Jack Ciattarelli, her GOP opponent in the NJ governor's race. The disclosure potentially violates several U.S. privacy laws. www.cbsnews.com/news/nationa...

Instead of eliminating WOKE from college campuses can these right wing chucklenuggets fix grade school/High School education so my college students know basic spelling/ grammar/ what a thesis statement is? I do NOT blame the students- I bend over backwards to support+provide every resource to help.

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

The Epstein survivors are fed up. They’re using Washington’s own playbook — opposition research — on lawmakers blocking the Epstein files. I’m publishing the first piece in “The Reckoning” series in The Red Letter on a GOP senator with close ties to Ghislaine Maxwell. Sign up, link is in BIO.

@kenklippenstein.bsky.social with the receipts, actually talking to the shooter's friends. Surprise! Not the left, or even MAGA. Another white kid who spent countless hours online and "was an edgelord who wanted someone to get blamed … to rile people up.” www.kenklippenstein.com/p/the-ice-sh...

Most federal workers don’t. The goal is NEVER a shutdown. The goal is to get a seat at the table. And you know what? It’s not a given that our Dems don’t get it. Elizabeth Warren puts it this way: “We have a chance right now to reverse Republicans’ health care cuts and we have to take it.” 3/

Trump would have a very easy time shutting down the remaining depts, and while the federal workers who are left would be getting backpay, those who work in those who work in government buildings, like janitors, plumbers etc would not. And backpay is great if you have enough money to survive now. 2/

walters has terrorized LGBTQ+ students during his tenure. wherever he ends up, i hope it’s far away from children.

UCLA’s funds reinstated after yesterday’s court order! Thanks to the brave researchers and their amazing counsel, including Dean Chemerinsky, who brought suit. This is just another turn in the ongoing fight, but a great result for now.

You know republicans are full of shit when they make up stories without evidence and use language to demonize their opposition. Professionals don’t speak like this, even after an investigation. The language he’s using is turning up the temperature. More violence = less focus on Epstein files.

ACE Deputy Director Madison Sheahan: "Somebody chose to come in and kill these detainees while they were being processed." (Note how administration officials don't have their stories straight on this.)

the digital divide gets larger. Texas has vast rural areas, and they continue to be left behind. Rural hospitals will begin closing in the next 12 months, as well.🤢

Trump rewires broadband, rural buffering. #econsky

#WestVirginia has the lowest Internet connectivity in the USA at 78%, the only state with less than 80% connectivity.

I missed this when it came out, but this is an interesting comparative study of where the US stands in terms of demoratic backsliding right now

LONDON MAYOR: “.. I think Donald Trump has shown he is racist, he is sexist, he is misogynistic and he's Islamophobic.” @nbcnews.com www.nbcnews.com/world/united...

Vindictive administration members did not make any effort to investigate the **concerns** of FEMA whistleblowers, who were trying to insure readiness in a disaster. Instead, they began tracking and harassing the whistleblowers themselves. www.cnn.com/2025/09/23/p...

‘Nickname’ is not ‘nick’ + ‘name.’ It was originally ‘ekename.’ ‘Eke’ was the Middle English word for “also” or “in addition.” Since ‘ekename’ began with a vowel, people used ‘an’ before it. Over time, 'an ekename' became 'a nickname.'

One glaring gap in Trump's autism campaign is any willingness to help the people & families affected by autism today. If he were serious, he would demand increases to respite care, life skills training, employment opportunities, & healthcare coverage. Until he does, this is just more nonsense.

So do all those journalists and professors get their jobs back too or is it just the millionaire comedian whose cancellation ate into Disney's profits?

hey, universities, stop cutting your religion programs. because when we win - and we will - we’re going to need deep expertise in religious studies.

Folks, we've got an epistemological crisis and it's not going well www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

If you were concerned about Kimmel, here's another for you… Journalist Mario Guevara has been detained for 100+ days, ironically arrested as he reported on a "No Kings" protest. The Trump-Vance admin just issued an order of final removal, to send him to El Salvador—where he fled from 21 years ago.

Reichstag fires weekly.

I call bullshit. They are just making shit up now and while we are at it there are legitimate questions about Tyler Robinson now as well. Starting with he didn't have a rifle when he went up the stairs to the roof and he didn't have one when he jumped off the roof.
