so voting for one of them sounds like having Trump as the NJ governor www.nytimes.com/2025/09/22/n...

I think the real shame in this is the West put Sisi into power, creating this problem for dissidents and others who wanted freedom, because the West did not like the democracy that came to Egypt after the country rose up against Mubarak and ousted him www.nytimes.com/2025/09/22/w...

interesting medicine news www.nytimes.com/2025/09/22/h...

considering how much Trump modeled his economic policies on Milei, I would expect us to eventually suffer this same collapse as Argentina www.nytimes.com/2025/09/22/u...

infusing education with nationalism and militarism? hmmm...where have I heard that before? www.nytimes.com/2025/09/22/w...

Republicans control the House, Senate, the Supreme Court, and the Presidency.

Q: Is the president going back on his promise from his inaugural speech to not persecute political opponents? LEAVITT: No. It is not weaponizing the DOJ to demand accountability for those who weaponized the DOJ

Kamala Harris: "It feels chaotic, but what I would offer you is what we are witnessing is the swift implementation of a plan that was decades in the making. Project 2025 didn't just drop out of thin air. That's a product of decades of work. Federalist Society, Heritage Foundation ... "

I wish people would stop fixating on causes and cures for Autism and neurodiversity more broadly. It's time people listen to us, especially Neurodivergent people of color, women and others who are often excluded. Let actually Autistic and Neurodivergent people take the lead. This shouldn't be hard.

Jimmy Kimmel is being brought back for the same reason he was suspended: Corporations only care about money. Which is why boycotts work.

Find your city Find your Sinclair station Contact their advertisers Tell them you are boycotting their products & services That's how you stop this en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...

Mamdani is popular. He's really popular. What are Dems afraid of? Republicans shamelessly glom onto every flash in the pan on the right. Read the room

Sigh...

"Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that." Looking forward to seeing Jimmy back on the air.

#UCLA is doing much better (thankfully) in federal courts (the one that follows the rule of law) than on the football field. #GoBruins

Meiselas: We need moral clarity. Calling out Trump may cause short-term pain for you as a corporation, but in the long run you'll be better off. True leadership means making tough choices, speaking out under threat, and standing against the lies.

interesting piece www.nytimes.com/2025/09/22/n...

finally read this...I think she doesn't want to be on the wrong side of history, as clearly so many people are choosing to be right now www.nytimes.com/2025/09/14/o...

so people are aware that they are committing horrific crimes against humanity under this administration and are trying to protect themselves for when it all collapses and we finally gain back our sanity as a nation

Published excerpts from former vice president Kamala Harris’s new book are sparking pushback from prominent Democrats who she could face in 2028 if she runs for president again.

With America now very weakened, it seems Putin is moving to take back everything that left USSR when it collapsed

Interesting - of course, he also says Kimmel is lying, which is not true, it's just that, like in another movie "you can't handle the truth"

Anything to distract from the Epstein files. #ReleaseTheFiles The worst I’ve seen’: Charlie Kirk conspiracy theories explode online, from the left and right | CNN Politics share.google/ekfrTVFRqipT...

Indiana Republicans are considering bowing down to Trump’s demands and drawing new maps to rig the 2026 election. As Pete Buttigieg said yesterday, there’s a word for that: cheating.

Can someone figure out a way to get this lawsuit against Tesla, in a form that would be comprehensible (perhaps written in half-literate text on a flag?) into the hands of Tommy Robinson? h/t @seamushughes.bsky.social and @courtwatch.bsky.social storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

We must be part of the resistance. What form that takes is different for each of us, but silence is not an option. Just as important is taking care of ourselves. We must take care of ourself to be fit and strong enough to resist. And remember, we are #StrongerTogether

Let’s be clear, GOP feel entitled to control & be in every aspect of your life as their religious imperative from GOD! GOP want to be in your bedroom & dr’s office with bans on birth control, abortion, IVF & vaccines; everywhere from home to work banning free speech, books, education, culture!

AOC: We should be clear about who Charlie Kirk was. A man who believed that the civil rights act that granted black Americans the right to vote was a mistake… His rhetoric and beliefs were ignorant, uneducated, and sought to disenfranchise millions of Americans.

Exactly This! 👇🏾👇🏼👇🏿👇🏽

Obviously a small consolation, but it is genuinely funny to see the attorney general get dog-walked by Tucker Carlson and Sonia Sotomayor for not knowing 1L constitutional law-level facts about the First Amendment

SCOOP: he’s been released jail He’s currently at a mosque

NEW: A federal judge struck down Trump’s $15 billion defamation lawsuit against the New York Times, ruling that his complaint’s contents were “improper and impermissible.” “A complaint is not a megaphone for public relations or a podium for a passionate oration,” the judge wrote.

We will not stand by as the Trump administration destroys one of the largest public university higher education systems in the country and bludgeons academic freedom at the University of California..." @ProfTWolf.bsky.social www.cbsnews.com/losangeles/n...
