Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has stated that the 1918 flu pandemic was caused by a lab virus from vaccine research, a defective influenza vaccine. Let’s analyze what a lie this is. First, in 1918, 107 years ago, virology was in its infancy

163 years ago in Mankato, 38 Dakota men were hung in the largest mass execution in our nation’s history. I’m grateful to the riders who continue to remind us the importance of fighting for accountability and healing for the Dakota people. www.mprnews.org/story/2025/1...

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

Christ on a bike, this is brilliant. And disgustingly historically accurate. 10/10

This means the VA won't cover abortions EVEN in the case of rape, incest, or serious threat to the health of the patient. The DOJ memo was authored by Josh Craddock, one of the chief legal advocates for fetal personhood, i.e. imposing a nationwide abortion ban through the courts.

Found the actual men in women's bathrooms assaulting women.

Farmers saying with a straight face: “we want a taxpayer funded price floor that guarantees the profits in our private business.” Like bro that’s not even socialism; you’ve moved on to a full-on centrally-planned communist economy. If y’all want this, give up your land 😂 youtu.be/_DvFL-oNWG0

Reminder to all the cis liberals reading this thread that RFK mandating that the federal government kill trans kids (and torture the survivors with lifelong trauma) by banning the LIFESAVING CARE on which they depend to exist is JUST AS BAD as him crusading against vaccines.

🚨 I’ve been keeping this under wraps until published and it’s out today. Do judges with background in law enforcement act differently at bail time? Our groundbreaking NYC study estimates that when they set bail, it is a full 32% higher on average compared to other judges. Check it out and share.

Vanity Fair’s portrait of Karoline Leavitt isn’t body shaming. It’s an artistic critique of the illusion of white supremacy along with the hypocrisy and insecurity of Trump’s fascist foot soldiers

Gullah-Geechee descendants on Sapelo Island may be facing a massive property tax increase that could open the doors for developers to turn the island into a vacation spot for the rich A meeting for property owners to give feedback is scheduled for today

Merry Christmas from the Klan! It's hard to see this photo and not have a visceral reaction right? Every year around Christmas it circulates, but more than often with no context. So every statement aligns with the feeling of the person who posted or shared it. But what about the real story? 🧵

The RFK, jr effect.

There’s something worse than Trump coming. youtube.com/shorts/EhsKw...

GLASHEEN: Antifa is our primary concern right now. That's the most immediate violent threat we're facing BENNIE THOMPSON: Where is antifa headquartered? GLASHEEN: ... ... ... we are building out the infrastructure right now THOMPSON: What does that mean?

2025 is coming to end and some people who claim not to be fascists are still associating themselves with fascist outlets like X. I claim, perhaps charitably, that it's because they don't understand how the internet works. Either way, this needs to change. berjon.com/fascintern-m...

When he said he stopped 8 wars did he mean he is starting 8 wars?

i made a video about the president's gutter racism against somali-americans and how a scandal became a smear became a call for de facto ethnic cleansing

It's that giving time of year again, so this is a reminder that no matter how they try to dress it up, the Salvation Army is not a charity.

Adding alt text to this because this is fucking amazing and everyone deserves to read it.

They were 8 and 11 years old

found out earlier this week that my car vendor sells my car information to insurance companies including: how long im driving, speeds, braking information, and the number of times i merge anyway, here is the opt-out information optout.lexisnexis.com

it’s vitally important for the future of this country that this wildly unpopular administration is tied directly to its enablers in congress and the courts and used to discredit the entire conservative movement

not Ken Jeong in the crowd with his phone camera out like the proudest dad???? I’m crying??????????? this gave me so much serotonin

Shopping? Need a gift idea? I'm humbly offering an idea: preorder my book Unlocking Justice, a broadly accessible + nontechnical read about how data can fight racial injustice in the criminal legal system. It's educational and optimistic. Amazon link below, other options in the comments. Plz share.

From the MN Society for Professional Journalists: St. Paul police shot three photojournalists (MPR, Reuters, Sahan Journal) with "less lethal" munitions during an ICE operation yesterday. One had to go to the hospital. They say they were specifically targeted by St. Paul police.

the woman using the r-word in this clip, Laura Ndirangu, is now interviewing for a position on the school board in Forest Lake, Minnesota

This is the scandal. Trump isn’t targeting dangerous people. He’s targeting peaceful immigrants. Almost exclusively.

Terrific

This is fucking horrifying. Swastikas and nooses are just “potentially divisive”? Are you kidding me?

This will surely surprise most Americans today, but historians have recently discovered that before Donald Trump, it was actually incredibly rare for a president to demand the public execution of this political opponents and press critics.

“it is bonkers, frankly, when you see [what is happening in Charlotte] yourself.”

ICE employee among 16 men arrested in Bloomington sex trafficking sting, police say. "When he was arrested, he said, 'I'm ICE, boys,'" Hodges said during a press conference Tuesday. "Well, unfortunately for him, we locked him up."

Great piece of writing that puts into words a lot of how I have been feeling. I can no longer stomach the stories of rich a-holes victimizing people for fun with no consequences.

Awful what is happening.

The emergence of Brian, fully prepared for winter from the ears up:

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer. He is a computer safety researcher. And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine. In under 1600 words. aphyr.com/posts/397-i-...

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default. Here's how to turn it off. First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

heads up to anyone who holds trans kids near: amy harmon from the nyt is searching for and having a hard time finding people to interview to find out exactly what trans kids are doing when their care is limited or cut off, and for purposes of community safety, please shut the fuck up around her.

Yes, Halloween is the deadliest day of the year for child pedestrians—great advice from @mcbazacophd.bsky.social (It’s also our kid’s birthday)

I love kids. I have two of them. They’re amazing. However, kids are the absolute least self aware, clumsiest little puffins on the planet. Please don’t drive tonight unless you have to, and if you do drive, drive super slow and pay 100% attention at all times. Happy Halloween! 🎃 👻 💀 #PublicHealth

Private equity destroys 200-year-old book distribution company that libraries around the country rely on and now libraries are having trouble getting new books: www.404media.co/libraries-sc...

I'm shaking almost too hard to type. I entered SLC airport and heard screams and cries for help. I could see people gathered around, watching. I sped over to discover this woman face down on the floor, four grown men pushing her down, while she cried "HELP ME" and pled for her child.

Under Trump, the draconian future of homelessness policy is coming into focus: mass internment. Utah is building a 16-acre site to detain up to 1,300 homeless people inside locked "accountability centers." This is profoundly alarming. Vital reporting from @ellenbarry.bsky.social and Jason DeParle:

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

Look at this beautiful sumac from 10 days ago #plantsky

Got a new book! Very excited about the pattern drafting section and some of the projects.
