Advising pregnant women not to use Tylenol because of an unproven link to autism overlooks the danger a fever can cause to both mother and fetus. www.statnews.com/2025/09/24/t...

A fire at a synagogue in southwest Florida days before Rosh Hashanah is being investigated as a hate crime, police say.

Not covering trans issues like this is a choice, and one that could still be rectified at any time

They called us haters and fools for saying that AI slop was never actually going to increase productivity and would in fact very obviously do the opposite but of course we were right because duh www.404media.co/ai-workslop-...

The Other Office for Civil Rights A decades-old arm of the Health and Human Services Department is now helping to wage Trump’s crusade against alleged antisemitism, special benefits for minorities and transgender women participating in women’s sports. https://bit.ly/42H5tlr #AcademicSky #EDUSky

In case you were wondering what Tucker was up to these days when not guest hosting Charlie Kirk’s show or winkingly blaming Jews for the death of Jesus or questioning “the narrative” about the Holocaust. If TC ran for President in the 2028 GOP primary he’d have a very good shot at winning.

The Vice President and the Secretary of Homeland Security making public statements before the victims of the shooting were identified and while the motive of the shooter remains unknown.

I would say "Perfect Victims" by Mohammed el-Kurd makes for a very good, very prescient HHD reading. Likely going to re-read it on Yom Kippur once I'm done with Dara Horn's "People Love Dead Jews."

I think it was like so based of one of my shul's rabbis last night to go "I'm literally named after Jonas Salk and this shit from the president today, Medicaid cuts, dismantling USAID etc. is a DISGRACE and I'm glad he's dead and can't see this."

Charlie Kirk’s assassination is being weaponized by far-right leaders and extremist groups to stoke fear and justify violence. Conspiracy theories and calls for retribution are spreading across the U.S. and abroad, escalating already dangerous tensions. Read more:

It’s kind of jarring how this administration went from an event yesterday where they bloviated about manning the barricades defending western civilization and now they’re holding press conferences gravely announcing that they’ve discovered that pee is stored in the balls or something equally stupid.

Too late, Batman. Once this Tylenol floods the city's water supply, my wiki won't run out of editors ever again

so the Economist article isn't attributed an author. but someone in the replies of this 🧵 tipped me off that it was Jəsse Singal. & it turns out that it was, which in retrospect isn't surprising (as he's one of the ppl who would never answer this question):

On that leucovorin-autism nonsense being pushed by the White House and HHS today: Our science editor @ejwillingham.bsky.social "fears promoting leucovorin as a treatment for autism is similar to how some touted ivermectin as a COVID-19 antidote." In @usatoday.com: www.usatoday.com/story/life/h...

"Vat of eighty different vaccines" would make an incredible band name.

Trump: "Finally, to help reach the ultimate goal of ending the autism..." Their goal is very clear.

This report and the policy shift is extremely bad, worse than I anticipated, but it is also not even in the top 20 of horrible things this administration has done to existentially harm autistic people, including our rights.

Cascade employees just won a four-yer union contract in May. During protracted negotiations with management, they highlighted the fact that the company's CEO made nearly $500,000 in 2023, including $74,000 in bonuses. The federal cuts amount to $3.5 million.

BREAKING: Cascade PBS, which operates the website Crosscut, is laying off 19 people, reportedly including its entire news staff. In an email to staff, CEO Rob Dunlop blamed federal cuts, saying the nonprofit is "winding down our longform, written journalism."

watching even a few seconds of the kirk funeral makes it clear a large quantity of this country is ready for full on nazi authoritarianism and we have to really grapple with how much we need to put a stop to this as quickly as possible

Someone really put the original "Do You Love the Color of the Sky" post on my Tumblr dash in this the Year of Their Lord two-thousand and twenty-five......

Jack Posobiec is one of the earliest boosters of the pizzagate conspiracy theory – that morphed into the QAnon movement – which has led to violent acts and deaths across the world. He’s now addressing a memorial service the president is attending.

Truly don't understand what goes on in the minds of other trans women who seem to use all of their time on earth to just shit on other trans women in increasingly hyperbolic and unhinged ways.

10 years ago, the Charlie Hebdo attack showed clearly how free speech could be weaponised Calls for absolute "je suis Charlie" free speech were accompanied with heavy policing of critique and dissent We learnt nothing and still lap up the (far-) right's hypocrisy on the matter 1/

This should come as no surprise to anyone who knows anything about the left in the U.S. The insistence that this some kind of antifa plot is just a smokescreen to go after the right’s political enemies.

We're at the point where the Trump does something worse than Watergate daily, often multiple times a day. And none of it makes news; it's just normal now.

this charlie kirk deification is some of the weirdest shit i have ever seen

Earlier this year, ProPublica found that the sepsis rate in second-trimester pregnancy loss hospitalizations increased by more than 50% under Texas’ abortion ban. Here’s how we did our analysis. (Published Feb. 2025)

Today I learned, thanks to @matthew.flux.community, that in 2014 Ben Shapiro appeared as a guest on a show run by a neo-Nazi. It was an entirely friendly conversation about how liberal Jews who hate white people, straight people, and Christians took over Hollywood and have brainwashed the nation.

It is fucked up what they did to the headphone jack

looks like the New Right finally chose one side of the H1B debate:

hi, cis folks! trans people need your help! the FY26 budget gets a vote by 9/30. GOP wants a ban on funds for ALL health services that provide trans care for ANY AGE. they're trying for other bans, too. we need you to call senators like chuck who don't get it: reps.fyi info & script in the🧵⬇️

this is "ending the wars" apparently

I regret to inform you that the bit Stephen Colbert did while reprising his old role on the Colbert Report did kind of slap www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATxL...

i don’t think people on bluesky understand the severity of this situation. i woke up to literally hundreds of texts from friends and family thinking about either moving back home to india or applying to other countries for jobs. this includes me.

I will never vote for a pro-life candidate and that is a promise. fuck you

NBC: “The federal investigation has yet to find a link between the alleged shooter and left-wing groups on which Trump and his administration have pledged to crack down after the killing…” www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

If you’re distressed watching the transphobic nightmare unfold, a great way to support trans people is to become a penpal to an imprisoned trans person. @powerblossoms.bsky.social, @arcgenderjustice.bsky.social, @blackandpinkorg.bsky.social, @massamp1312.bsky.social, @tpride.bsky.social

Worksite raids are often framed as a crackdown on unlawful employment practices. But instead of punishing employers, the administration is doubling down on hurting workers as a tool for mass deportation.

We just witnessed Trump signing two executive orders. One to clear the path to the US for the ultra wealthy who can pay $1M. Another to obliterate the path to the US for working class immigrants, demanding a $100,000 application fee. Annually.
