We just blew up an Iranian ship in international waters and left all of the survivors to drown. This is who we are now.

I would like to remind people that AI has already been used to kill people OpenAI and Microsoft supplied Israel with AI models to track and kill people in Gaza which led to increased civilian deaths apnews.com/article/isra...

Once again.

Silicon Valley’s alliance with Donald Trump was a mask off moment and showed the world we can’t depend on US tech companies. For the past few months, I’ve been trying to get off US tech and I put together a guide so you find alternatives too. I hope you find it helpful!

The U.S. Senate must be clear: no war with Iran.

As the U.S. doubles down on glyphosate, a widely cited study asserting its safety has been retracted after it was discovered the paper was ghostwritten by Monsanto employees. This incident, and ghostwriting in general, harms scientific integrity, writes Naomi Oreskes. https://scim.ag/4rIIu4a

"We are dealing now with an allegation that the president of the US raped and sexually assaulted a child and is now using his DOJ to try to cover that up." If you want to understand latest Epstein revelations, @leahlitman.bsky.social explains them clearly on our pod: newrepublic.com/article/2070...

Former NFL player, political activist, youth coach Chris Kluwe is my pick for CA Assembly District 72 in 2026. He’s ready to defeat Gracey Van Der Mark, a known Holocaust denier who has worked with Neo Nazis and radicalized white nationalists for years. Let’s go @chriswarcraft.bsky.social 🇺🇸!

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

Bezos isn't destroying the Washington Post because it isn't profitable. He's destroying the Washington Post because he's calculated that a robust free press threatens the ability of his class to warp society around their interests

A Minneapolis knitting shop has resurrected the design of a Norwegian cap worn to protest Nazi occupation. Its owner says the money raised from hat pattern sales will support the local immigrant community. n.pr/4thWiUr

For my fellow knitters.

The arrests of Don Lemon, Georgia Fort, and Jamael Lundy are unacceptable and a clear violation of the Constitution. This is a dangerous abuse of power that threatens the rights of every single American. They must be released immediately.

Northern Lights over Greenland.

I was a sensitive kid. I loved cats. I had OCD, undiagnosed. When I was 9, a fraternity brother tortured a cat to death in my hometown. The details even now are beyond imagination. archive.is/xdmUL I was traumatized for years from reading the news story. The torturer? Now the head of the NRA.

Anyways, if you want someone in office who cares about other people and has the track record to prove it, and is ALSO an inveterate shitposter committed to using his powers for good, I’m, uh, running for CA State Assembly District 72 against a MAGA diehard.

ICE Activity is stepping up in Seattle. Reports of plainclothes in University District, and abductions from Lynnwood to Renton, and Aurora to Issaquah. Now is the time to get trained and engaged; #Seattle seattleindivisible.com/support-immi...

That is why I told you to fix your heart. You think it's only us weird lefties here on Bluesky who care about this but it's literally foundational American principles in the goddamn bill of rights which are being gleefully violated in the name of deporting more brown people and fuck that shit.

I am willing to lose some YouTube subs at this moment because I'm a patriot and not a coward. I am absolutely shocked how this country, the country founded on principles of liberty and with the goddamn fourth amendment, has enough people now saying "if you're get in ICE's way you deserve to die."

Today at 34 & Park in Minneapolis, a woman tried to drive down the street where a protest had broken out in front of a home ICE was raiding, saying she had a doctor apt to get to. ICE agents busted out her windows, cut off her seatbelt, and pulled her out before arresting her.

As if asking ChatGPT for health advice wasn't awful enough, OpenAI is preparing personal health features in the chatbot. I cannot emphasize enough how much of a terrible idea this is. www.theinformation.com/articles/ope...

This is one of those things that more people should know about, right @msmedicaid.bsky.social ???? The same applies at SSA to be honest. If you feel like we fucked up, appeal it every time. 👏👏👏👏

Friendly reminder that these apps are also not bound by HIPAA meaning at any time, all of your otherwise PHI is now able to be bought.

As you evaluate this from Kristi Noem, remember that when a federal agent shot a woman in Chicago last year, DHS's initial version of events was full of lies that fell apart under subsequent scrutiny: newrepublic.com/article/2019...

Google the video & see for yourself. This is not law enforcement. This is murder. Sickening.

NEWS: In a heartbreaking video, after ICE shot and killed a woman in Minneapolis, a woman who was in the same SUV cries out: “They killed my wife. I don’t know what to do." “We stopped to videotape, and they shot her in the head,” the distraught woman sobs. www.advocate.com/news/minneso...

NEW: At least four videos show what really happened when ICE shot a woman in Minneapolis on Wednesday. DHS has established itself as an agency that cannot be trusted to live in or present reality. Our latest:

We need to throw RFK Jr. and everyone going along with him into jail for the rest of their lives, and we need to make it a day one policy. They are killing children with this. There is NO scientific basis for ANY of what they’re doing.

“This is a very dark day for children and for their parents,” said Jesse Goodman, former FDA chief scientist. HHS announces unprecedented overhaul of US childhood vaccine schedule www.cidrap.umn.edu/childhood-va...

Kennedys antivaxx lawyer is already telegraphing their next move.

Is your baby TOO healthy? The first years too sedate for you? Do you think a stint in the NICU will be a fun change of pace? Show your baby that life IS pain with Rotavirus! Rotavirus is a contagious infection in the guts that causes vomiting, diarrhea, and dehydration.

On the theme of international press coverage of US public health, here’s Canada’s take. They’re not wrong. If disinformation spreads like a virus, Canada may want to mask up. Or at least wash its hands frequently. Too bad there’s not a vaccine to protect against malicious policies…

This is purpura fulminans, a severe complication of meningitis (which as of today is no longer on our universal vaccine schedule) Micro clots & bleeding into the skin cause skin & tissue death. It’s more common in kids & associated with 20-70% mortality. Those who survive often lose limbs.

Hey, national Dems on this here b”site, I see a lot of you are having trouble describing objective reality. Here’s a freebie: “Donald Trump is an adjudicated crook, rapist, and now a war criminal. We will stand against everything he tries to do, and will hold EVERYONE who enables him accountable.”

I know everyone is dunking on #BariWeiss right now, but it is #Paramount CEO #DavidEllison who is her patron. Would love to see some blowback to this billionaire-handmaid to authoritarianism too.

"Researchers found that withdrawing support for rapidly advancing mRNA vaccine technology could result in over 49,000 preventable deaths annually among patients diagnosed with four major cancers..." Pro-death administration.

"The project—[Bari Weiss's] and that of her backers—is to establish herself and her cohort not as new-right media, but as the new liberal media, staking out the leftmost acceptable position within the new right-wing paradigm." (This is a gift link, from October) defector.com/bari-weiss-s...

Share and tell CBS to air this! Sharyn Alfonsi, the veteran “60 Minutes” correspondent who reported a segment about migrants sent to the El Salvadoran torture prison CECOT, just sent a blistering letter to colleagues, sounding the alarm that Bari Weiss spiked the story for political reasons.

If we accede to the demand that political appointees can decide what is worthwhile to study and what isn't, we've lost universities as institutions of knowledge, innovation, and progress. This is why academic freedom and tenure are so important.
