Such a sense of foreboding.

Person who actually deserves a trophy is the artist who made the FIFA peace prize trophy look like everyone in the entire world holding their head in their hands out of secondhand embarrassment

ICE raided a James Beard award winning restaurant & because the chef/owner was prepared, left emptyhanded:

Agree with this thread. Worth reading in full. 25 years ago John Roberts, Brett Kavanaugh, and AC Barrett all worked on GWBush's 2000 Florida recount team. What they're doing now is, if anything, more nakedly partisan. Fire-breathing dissent by Kagan, with Sotomayor and Jackson.

Why am I not surprised? NPS has made Trump's birthday a free admission day, while deleting MLK Day and Juneteenth.

The fact that a second strike like that in an armed conflict is definitely a war crime should not completely negate the fact that *there is no war* and ALL the strikes are cold-blooded murder. The whole chain of command are murderers.

"And every year the seas came higher... yet still they burned more fossil fuels"

They’re killing people as a twitter joke. It’s depraved. Can’t let yourself lose the capacity to be appalled and disgusted and outraged by this.

NEW: The Trump Justice Department failed to secure an indictment today against New York Attorney General Letitia James. www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

Three weeks in and the Starbucks strike has grown to 3,000 workers.

“When participants used ChatGPT to draft essays, brain scans revealed a 47% drop in neural connectivity across regions associated with memory, language, & critical reasoning. Their brains worked less, but they felt just as engaged—a kind of metacognitive mirage.”🧪

The language our allies need to defend us out there can actually be this elegant all the time, as long as you know what you're saying 🏳️‍⚧️

“A cultural challenge”

Virtually every institution I engage with regularly—the university, healthcare—is falling to pieces in front of my eyes. But live music? It continues to deliver everything its social contract has always promised: community, joy, a vision of a better world. Go to the gig.

Sir. 🪶

This Pluribus ad on a fridge caused a schizophrenic woman named Carol to be hospitalized.

This is the Witch Trials theory of war: If they try not to drown at sea, they're terrorists.

The racial profiling ICE has been using to terrorize communities of color must end. Native people have been here long before and will be here long after Trump's racist administration comes to an end!

It's just... it's torture porn invented for school shooter types. The agents are acting out this alienated incel fantasy of being able to pluck perceived enemies from public space and roughly, physically demean and ritually humiliate them in front of a live audience of passers-by.

It's a campaign of terror. Her terror (and the terror of entire communities, forced into hiding) is not incidental. It is a product they are manufacturing, a key part of the spectacle for their intended audience. Which is the terrorized, but also the terror consumers.

Just finished reading this one and really enjoyed it. All sexy ghosts should be Irish, I think.

The (supposedly) oldest from-scratch bakery in New England—and, more importantly, the source of my legendary second-birthday circus cake—lives on!

The top posts X is boosting to millions of people about the anti-immigrant “New Republican Movement” in Ireland are coming from accounts based in the US, UK, and Canada

imagine thinking Democrats desperately fighting back against ICE across the country and seeing their friends and neighbors scared shitless of being abducted and thrown into some nightmare prison want to hear you praise Trump for securing the border eat so much shit, man

An inependent review of medical evidence on trans youth healthcare found substantial evidence of benefit, and no evidence of harm. This was one of our top stories this year. Legacy news, who extensively covered a review finding the opposite, ignored this. www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

They made "spinster" into a misogynistic slur; a spinster was a woman who was financially independent because she was good enough at making cloth and clothing that she didn't have to submit to the patriarchal construct of marriage.

Her situation is similar to Monica Lewinsky’s in that they both occurred on Earth.

Trump dozes while Marco Rubio speaks to him directly next to him. Just insane optics.

she went to state legislators, TPUSA and conservative media outlets within a few hours of getting her grade, if you can’t identify the bad faith that can be seen from space, you need to get your eyes checked

Every year since 1988, the United States has recognized World AIDS Day — until now. Why not? Maybe because the Trump administration doesn’t want to acknowledge that its foreign aid cuts led to nearly 150,000 deaths from AIDS, according to Boston University researchers. Shameful.

And this is just getting started on a global basis. 2026 will be a fascinating year in the world of energy.

JP Morgan’s CEO going “we’re not funding the ballroom, the next DOJ will hit us with the book over it” is a pretty big sign that the winds are shifting as far as Trump having a glorious 1000 year reich. I doubt he’ll even make the full four years, and his entourage have their future to pay for it

🎯 @robsandia.bsky.social on Private School Vouchers (for the wealthy) — “CALL THEIR BLUFF… if they want public dollars, they should have to follow the same rules as public schools… it’s not a ‘COMPETITION’ when not everyone is playing by the same rules.” (cc: Speaker Sexton)

Truth

my “AI is over” anecdote is that my wife was hired over the summer to write scripts for a big tech company explaining how to use their AI tools and after many rounds of revisions, the latest notes said “we’re finding a lot of AI fatigue among our users” and to remove all references to AI

"They can't just stop being cops and soldiers! There are consequences!" Yeah. Fighting evil comes with risks and consequences. So the fuck what? Being trans has ruined my ability to participate in society to a meaningful extent, but here I am. You want me to be sad that you're scared? Grow up.

And I don't know if the answer is: everyone is too traumatized to do work and we need to reinvent society. Or if it's more like: generations are losing their cognitive abilities and willpower due to destructive technologies. Or: we all have post-viral brain damage. Or: all of the above.

This is not a "students today" post--it's more "this is a new form of dysfunction" that doesn't look exactly like it's been in previous decades. It's more than just "first-year chaos." It's an across-the-board inability to process instructions, engage with longer texts, and *connect* with others.

For the next two weeks we will be fundraising for our winter ministry project … consider partnering with our local ministry in providing grocery gift cards for the community venmo.com/u/solomon-MI...

Stephen Miller is now arguing that assimilation is fundamentally impossible and that certain cultures are not compatible with Western civilization

🔥POWERFUL AD ABOUT ICE AGENTS: “What will you say when your kids ask you about your day? A mask can’t hide you from your neighbors, your family, God… you can walk away, but the shame will follow you home.”

It didn’t even take 6 hours.

No contract, no coffee. We don’t believe in sitting on the sidelines. Join our Transition co-chair @linamkhan.bsky.social , First Deputy Mayor Dean Fuleihan & @sbworkersunited.org at the picket lines.

"My mentor always tells me, 'Kim, dogs don’t bark at parked cars." They’re coming after critical race theory, 1619, intersectionality because these ideas mobilized people. They gave them the language to actually articulate what they were seeing with their own eyes," says Kimberlé Crenshaw.

A Gen Z-led advocacy group announced a boycott campaign targeting major corporations “that enable, profit from, or directly collaborate with ICE.” Beyond the Ballot launched “Not With My Dollars: ICE Out of My Wallet” just days before Black Friday kicks off.
