I just want you all to know that when we told you that they wanted to destroy everything and you thought Black women were exaggerating? This was the "ironic" racism you said we were overreacting to 10 years ago. Racism has never had generational limits

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery. @politico.com www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

What The Hell Is Going On, a thread: I’ve seen some thinkpieces and posts about Portland protests that fail to understand the long-term hyperspecificity of Portland culture/humor, and frame it as a sort of shitposting meme-pilled ironic thing. Which is wrong. So I’m gonna give you my breakdown.

ICE kidnapped a 7th-grader with a pending asylum claim and spirited him out of state without notifying his parents, seemingly with the cooperation of the local police in Everett, MA. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/10/12/m...

“CDC is over. It was killed. This administration only knows how to break things. They have made America at risk for outbreaks and attacks by nefarious players. People should be scared,” said Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, former director of the CDC’s National Center on Immunization and Respiratory Diseases

Hippos weigh a bit over 3000 pounds. If a hippo is moving at a standard jogging pace for a person (~4 mph), that's an equivalent momentum to a person running into you at highway speeds (~60 mph). Except the person would probably stop after the collision. The hippo wouldn't notice it hit you.

No Kings protests, and anti-regime protests in general, serve two main positive functions: 1) Reminding participants and observers that they’re very far from alone, countering regime efforts to divide and isolate 2) Showing the absurdity of regime lies about the peaceful, pro-democracy opposition

Trump will just have to keep murdering fishermen until you stupid jerks give him the peace prize

"Affirmative Action for Incompetence" The Trump Administration is purging the government of qualified, competent individuals, indicting his enemies, and replacing them with the world's most mediocre conservatives on Earth. open.substack.com/pub/thelefth...

twice a year the entire U.S. press becomes a marketing extension of a single billionaire-owned retailer, and nobody in any position of editorial power thinks it's weird or gross

The President of the United States is calling for the mayor of Chicago and governor of Illinois to be jailed.

So this is funny. The administration just issued a rule slashing foreign agricultural worker wages. And to justify it, in a public filing, Trump's Labor Department alleges that Trump's immigration enforcement has devastated the Ag workforce and caused a "risk of supply shock-induced food shortages."

We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

The Oregon Republican Party tried to help Donald Trump make the case for military intervention in Portland with an image of a fiery protest — but since Portland is calm, they had to fabricate one by merging old photos of police in Ecuador and protesters in Brazil www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Libertarianism is always a trauma response. You need more empathy, not less.

One should assume, if one had not already, that every single thing the GOP has to say about pretty much anything is a lie or fabrication.

Body-camera video appears to contradict the government’s claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her late Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney claimed. trib.al/9Sxu9IN

as a girl with a PhD in natural language processing and machine learning it's actually offensive to me when you say "we don't know how LLMs work so they might be conscious" I didn't spend 10 years in mines of academia to be told ignorance is morally equal knowledge. We know exactly how LLMs work.

history teacher in 50 years: So in September, that’s when the president signed an executive order criminalizing anti-fascism and saying all resistance would be crushed student: oh so that’s when the whole country realized they were living under fascism teacher: haha what? oh no lol not at all. no.

If you like yelling about misuse of the passive voice, THIS IS IT.

Yes, this is the payment of a bribe with a thin legal veil. Yes, the executives authorizing the payment may be prosecuted for public corruption crimes. Which is why Trump has dismantled the whole part of the DOJ that deals with public corruption.

What DHS pulled in Chicago on Tuesday is wildly unconstitutional. They smashed down almost every door in the building, dragged entire families into the street, and detained people for hours ("Kavanaugh stops"). Ms. Fisher was held for five hours and another senior citizen was held for three hours.

show this to anyone else you know who also assumed DHH was just a normal conservative dude rather than a raging white supremacist lunatic

quick while the government is shut down let’s all switch to metric

if I haven't been fucking around, then why do I keep finding out

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

The real generational divide is people who refuse to watch a video if it could be an article versus people who refuse to read an article if it could be a video

And one of the comedians performing apparently defended their participation by saying SA’s human rights record is comparable to the USA’s and… yeah, totally. Which is why we don’t support performers who do events sponsored by the US gov’t either.

1. A day after the Michigan church shooting, Republicans are silent after learning the shooter was a MAGA extremist. No investigations of Trump supporters as terrorists. No national conversations about the rights of cisgender men. The silence is deafening. Subscribe to support our journalism.

EVERYONE STOP EVERYTHING Mychal the Librarian is hosting the Reading Rainbow revival!!! reactormag.com/reading-rain...

Kristi Noem: How DARE you accuse our glorious ICE agents of racial profiling. Head of the Chicago raids: We are stopping people based on “how they look, how do they look compared to, say,” a tall, middle aged white guy.

@washingtonpost.com What on earth is this? Why are you playing a game of “he said, she said” here? I biked through downtown Portland today, blocks from ICE and there was zero evidence of being “war-torn.” *Objectively*, Trump’s assertions are completely wrong, but you can’t manage to say that?

LOL "I spoke to the governor, she was very nice. But I said, 'Well wait a minute, am I watching things on television that are different from what's happening? My people tell me different.' They are literally attacking and there are fires all over the place... www.kgw.com/article/news...

So many of us came so very unwillingly to this place of viewing the Supreme Court as unworthy of being viewed as a judicial body. Unworthy of veneration, unworthy of respect. So profoundly reluctantly. But, good lord have they earned it.

NEW: Income isn’t supposed to play a role in how much housing assistance FEMA gives families. But in some North Carolina counties, the highest-income homeowners received two to three times as much money after Hurricane Helene as those with lower incomes. With @theassemblync.bsky.social

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...

Nothing says “land of the free” like armed agents of the state saying “show me your papers if you want your daughter back” bsky.app/profile/nbcb...

ICE going full Theon Greyjoy

The Supreme Court has clarified the Administration's theory of checks and balances: a blank check is a kind of check, and a negative balance is a kind of balance.

Take your Kimmel protest energy and use it to freeze out that hateful JKR too! Maybe HP was a part of your childhood. Well now it's a slap in the face and a dagger in the back of people who just wanna live. Don't let her see a dime!

Just a reminder before the “big announcement” today. Autism was discovered in 1911 and the modern definition of Autism came in 1943. Tylenol wasn’t widely used until the 1950s. Anyone trying to tell you that Tylenol causes Autism isn’t someone that should be taken seriously.

It's not just these chuckleheads. I am sick and tired of autism speaks types thinking their children are defective. Kindly fuck off. Seriously.
