The Trump admin entered a $5.1 million deal with Eswatini, the last absolute monarchy in Africa, in exchange for the U.S. dumping 160 migrants there, even if they have no ties to the country. @HRW.org viewed the agreement www.hrw.org/news/2025/09...

Here's what happens when Abundance pretends problems can be fixed exclusively with more supply but no check on corporate power: You get housing monopolists selling off the supply to investors rather than supply creating lower prices that benefit regular people. www.levernews.com/the-corporat...

A 12-foot statue of Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein frolicking and holding hands appeared on the National Mall in Washington, DC on Tuesday, September 23. A plaque under the statue states that it has been erected “In Honor of Friendship Month."

Their new scandal is that the UN messed with Trump’s escalator and teleprompter to embarrass him. Turns out the escalator glitched thanks to a Trump staffer and it was the White House controlling the teleprompter. SNOWFLAKE CITY.

this man fucking loves catnip

Don Trump the Science-ish Guy explains Tylenol!

FEDERAL RESERVE STUDY: "Investors raise rents at 60% higher rates than the average increase...and higher investor share in a neighborhood is correlated with faster rent increases for non-investor landlords." But sure...go ahead & insist investor landlords have nothing to do with the housing crisis.

Most modern conservativism really is nothing more than grievances based on poorly-disguised racism

🚨BREAKING: Two registered Maine voters filed a motion to intervene in the U.S. Department of Justice’s lawsuit against the state Tuesday, aiming to stop what they call a “radical” federal overreach into their personal privacy. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Is Palentir or someone else using the footage to train facial recognition or something else?

There is now a broad assault in Gaza and the civilians are under great threat. Already hungry and homeless, they rely on our direct donations to survive, feed their families, and raise funds to flee to safety. Please give to my dear friend Tasneem, and to others. ❤️ 🙏 tinyurl.com/Tasneemo

We see what you did there, Stephen.

Attempting to rig elections on his behalf. Turning the military on citizens. Toying with the idea of declaring martial law. Attacking political enemies and punishing those who speak out against his regime. If this were happening in another country, what would you call it?

libertarianism has always failed

Canadian tourists continue avoiding the US—visits have now hit the lowest level since the pandemic, falling 30% since the election

You know maybe we should have stopped with the Nintendo GameCube. Maybe that’s all the technology we could handle.

“If you’re pregnant, don’t take Tylenol” would be malpractice if anyone else said it. Maybe it’s actually bad that some people are above the law.

“Try to minimize what you take with you across the border to only the essentials,” EFF’s @legind.bsky.social advises international travelers in @wired.com. “If you are taking a vacation, do you really need that work laptop with you?”

From yesterday and today: it certainly appears ICE in Chicago are wearing the Meta AI Ray-Ban glasses.

“it is neglect of the highest order to look children in the eyes and say we knew how to protect you and we just didn’t do it.”

Joining MSNBC at 7 to talk about today's tire fire at the UN

"If you go on strike, we're taking away your healthcare" Volkswagen making a real good argument that maybe they're not as high road employers they always claimed to be!

Getting rid of cable is called cord-cutting. What getting rid of streaming services is called? Stream-drying?

If that nut job’s speech at the UN today where he raved about migrants didn’t remind you of Hitler raving about the Jews, you need a history refresher.

No srsly when are we giving her back Fiasco cannot see out of hims preferred seeing spot U kept receipt right U keep receipts for EVERYTHING

A statue of Donald Trump & Jeffrey Epstein has been placed outside the White House in honor of Friendship Month

Senator Bill Cassidy, a doctor, is 1 of only 100 Americans out of over 250 million adult citizens given the consequential responsibility to advise and consent on exec branch nominees. He used that to approve an antivax, anti-science conspiracy theorist as the nation's top public health official.

"In March, the authorities in Haiti hired foreign military contractors to operate armed drones to target gangs that terrorize the capital, Port-au-Prince. The contractors work for a company owned by Erik Prince, a prominent supporter of President Trump." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/23/u...

following charlie kirk's death and the right's open embrace of cancel culture, the gamergate 2.0 mob has kicked its efforts into overdrive, targeting dozens of devs and personalities. this has resulted in an avalanche of harassment, but relatively few firings compared to the 100+ in other sectors

“The “refrigerator mother” myth was used as a justification for taking children away from their parents and subjecting the kids to ever-harsher treatments…now the Trump administration is poised to start a new cycle in which moms are once again blamed for their kids’ autism.” My latest.

I don't even cringe when I see that man standing on the world stage making completely incoherent statements. I do feel tremendously sorry for the rest of the world that has to be subjected to U.S. violence and complete buffoonery.

CALLOUT: Looking for a source who could speak to the importance of cervical cancer screenings/HPV vaccination. On a tight deadline for it, so hoping for tomorrow or Thursday at the latest to interview. DM me if that's you, or leave suggestions here if you have them. Thanks!

Pretty sure that callous, crude, and controversial speech is almost all entirely First Amendment protected.

It’s so sick that the two people conservatives have been trying to cancel are Jimmy Kimmel and GWAR. The culture war is so cool and smart

Product working as intended, ticket closed

I've been wondering why more people aren't talking about Wu. She's awesome

he can't sign autographs right now. he's busy. busy with important work.

“What has to be said is that given this performance, given the unhinged behavior of Kennedy, given the president’s total lack of knowledge about health and science, & given the sycophantic behavior of his top medical and science officials, one thing is clear: Americans cannot trust their government”

If the rich dems need any convincing to do this...

Count on Apple to stay at the leading edge of making things thinner and lighter: in a new breakthrough, it appears to have made an entire show disappear. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

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...

Whoa. Xbox and Kojima just dropped the trailer for their knew collaboration with Jordan Peele

Our visitor is named Snowball. This morning I was walking home from the post office & saw Snowball sitting on someone’s lap on the porch 2 houses down. I stopped & introduced myself. Snowball is a much loved indoor/outdoor cat who lives with 3 children. I told his human Snowball visited us.

You can sign a petition the Justice for Cornelius Taylor Coalition has issued calling on Atlanta to fund services for former encampments residents, significantly change its encampment clearing policies, and rename Old Wheat Street to Cornelius Taylor Street here: secure.afsc.org/a/honor-corn...

Of course, you know they love us fact-checking crank science because it turns science into just another debate. The only science Trump is interested in is the science of dictatorship.
