More information and it's looking pretty bad. The shooter apparently shot blindly into an unmarked ICE van, killing two of the detained people on board, and was reportedly found with anti-ICE statements.

BREAKING A federal judge found it "appears ... that multiple employees of the Department of Justice may have violated" local rules in SDNY guaranteeing Luigi Mangione's right to a fair trial. Full order here storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Why the fuck would you legitimize the idea of "the autism problem"???

Historians and citizens who say they are concerned about the Trump administration's pressure on the Smithsonian are working to document exhibits, as they exist today, throughout the museum network.

i have to say, as a trans journalist who has covered the "trans debate" for about a decade now, there is no daylight between how the trump administration and conservatives lie about tylenol and autism and how they've lied about youth trans care.

I wish people would just admit that it's the disgusting aesthetics of CSAM they find offensive and not the fact that a child was harmed.

This is bonkers. FDA is going to change leucovorin's label based on a lit review with data on 40 patients w/ cerebral folate deficiency and comparisons to "known natural history." www.statnews.com/2025/09/22/f...

ICE is now kidnapping children in order to take away their parents

Maybe I'm silly, but can't think up why you would characterize Disney bringing Kimmel back after people started boycotting as "bullying works" unless you have some kind of pro-bullying view that you're trying to squeeze into the conversation. Like, that is SUCH a stretch. But many are saying it!

Only 1 person in the whole study went from identifying as trans to not identifying as trans. The 1/5 number came from youth going between the binary and non-binary spectrum. This headline and post are misleading on purpose to fit the economist's editorial bent on the political issue.

this cannot be a real newspaper

It sucks that human-readable software source files are called "code." That's such a crappy word for it

This is, of course, wildly unconstitutional.

Tom Homan was investigated for accepting $50,000 from undercover FBI agents. Trump's DOJ shut it down. www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/t...

Bluesky users do NOT know where the dash goes in "H-1B"

The World’s Most Popular Porn Site Is a Government Agent Now. Does It Matter? On Monday, I published a two-part blog post about the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) settlement with Aylo, parent company of Pornhub. The FTC’s complaint alleged that Aylo violated federal consumer protection law by…

What's the most fucked up spelling of 'bunny' that you can think of without making it incomprehensible?

I probably come off as rude to some people because I can't bring myself to clog someone's inbox with an email that just says "thank you"

the new community guidelines are actually pretty good pretty easy to read, hopefully the enforcement is sensible and actually points to relevant parts of the code when applied bsky.social/about/suppor...

NEW: The Pentagon told journalists it will require them to pledge they won’t gather any information — even unclassified — that hasn’t been expressly authorized for release, and will revoke the press credentials of those who do not obey. @washingtonpost.com

I can't imagine ever wanting to wear "smart glasses" regardless of how good they get. And honestly I can't imagine wanting to wear a smart watch unless it totally replaced my need to carry a phone

Trump: "When 97% of the stories are bad about a person, that's no longer free speech."

Almost certainly illegal and likely to be struck down in court. Congress has only authorized the government to set fees to recover the cost of adjudicating the application. There is no statutory authority to impose fees designed to limit the use of a visa.

I think it's a worthwhile point to make that the right really lost something of value with Kirk. The Conservative machine can't spawn new drones at his level of effectiveness at will, regardless of how much they wish they could

yeah that is not what the statutory phrase public interest means brendan

This isn't "cancel culture." That framing is legitimizing a conservative narrative via a botched attempt to subvert it. This isn't even culture. This is simply a fascist crackdown on political speech

The FCC Chair saying “You can deal with Kimmel the easy way or the hard way” is the very definition of a chilling effect on speech, and a good indicator the First Amendment is a dead letter in the Trump regime. Free speech is dying in America and none of our free speech warriors seem to care

As we’ve reported before at @rollingstone.com, trump and his gang plotted to use the federal government against his enemies in late night tv even before he was reelected. Now…. www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv...

BREAKING: Trump says he is designating “Antifa” as a “major terrorist organization.” Such a step being taken this way would be concerning enough, given what it actually is, but, given that Trump sees “Antifa” hiding in every corner of opposition, this could be an extremely alarming escalation.

NEW: House Republicans, with key Dem support, took aim at D.C. on Tuesday. A pair of bills backing Trump's attack on D.C. passed the House. Both would restrict D.C.'s self-governance and more harshly punish criminal acts of young people. Today, at Law Dork:

Saying mean things to Donald Trump is not a RICO predicate act. Even YELLING at Donald Trump is not a RICO predicate act.

I do kinda see videogames as a lesser form of art

* ORACLE, SILVER LAKE, ANDREESSEN TO CONTROL TIKOK IN US: WSJ $ORCL

I repeat: This is WILDLY illegal. Trump is just outright, explicitly, egregiously ignoring the law. The fact that NONE of these words in the Times post say so is a failure of journalism.

The Department of Justice has removed a study showing that white supremacist and far-right violence “continues to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism” in the United States. 🔗 www.404media.co/doj-deletes-...

Children in Gaza are wasting away. Malnutrition isn’t just hunger. It permanently scars a child's brain and body. I am calling on Trump to ensure unhindered humanitarian access into Gaza.

CARR: “.. I think you can draw a pretty clear line, and the Supreme Court has done this for decades, that our First Amendment, our free speech tradition, protects almost all speech.” @politico.com www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

Three House Republicans just flipped their votes after having their arms twisted by GOP leadership, passing the measure which will surrender their power to block Trump’s tariffs. Final vote:

If you cannot also hold in your heart a recognition of the ugliness of all violence and the tragedy of death, then I think you are not mature enough to partake in the celebration of the deaths of your enemies. But you can do both

Pam Bondi Threatens Charges Over Office Depot Employee Who Refused To Print Charlie Kirk Flyers: ‘We Can Prosecute You’

He’s not even pretending to have an actual defamation claim. He’s just mad they didn’t endorse him, to the tune of $15 billion.

This is the mugshot of a literal political prisoner, arrested, thrown in jail, then expelled from a public university, for yelling at Charlie Kirk supporters

It’s telling that it’s mainly cis, straight, able-bodied people crying, “How dare someone lose their life over politics!” That reaction shows they’ve never had skin in the game. For them, politics is abstract. For the rest of us, politics is survival—how we navigate the world just to stay alive.

It may be distasteful but it is not illegal to mock someone's death and it should not warrant arrest, ever. The 1st Amendment exists specifically to protect disfavored speech and what is happening now is one of the greatest threats to free speech in the United States.
