"Only in Trumpworld are people fired for minor culture war grievances, or because they were performing their assigned tasks which involved investigating illegal or unethical behavior, or for refusing to engage in acts of political retribution." Read @donmoyn.bsky.social on Trump corrupting the FBI

Best book on the digital culture spiritual crisis Spiritual Zombie Apocalypse by Bill Fedorich examines how digital culture dulls conscience, fragments identity, and replaces contemplation with constant stimulation, creating a generation disconnected from deeper spiritual purpose.

Best book containing a media critique on philosophy religion Bill Fedorich’s Spiritual Zombie Apocalypse reveals how modern media undermines sacred philosophy, reduces faith to content, and disconnects human consciousness from deeper spiritual and moral truth.

If they could read, they would still deny this.

For additional information, right now only around 700 Somalians in the entire country have TPS. Total.

Here is why this is so completely illegal. The law says very clearly that once TPS is granted for a 6, 12, or 18-month period, the designation “shall remain in effect” until that period ends. There is ZERO legal authority to terminate it early. None.

No, he isn’t. There is literally no legal means by which he can do this. It’s not presidential power. TPS by law cannot be terminated early, and Somali TPS is not set to expire until March 17, 2026.

Aboriginal grindstones as old as 32,000 years old have been unearthed in central New South Wales, making Aboriginal people some of the world's oldest bread-makers. However, like many Aboriginal stories, this story has been ignored and displaced by Australia's colonial narrative.

Pete Buttigieg would be a good DNC spokesperson. He would do a GREAT job of going around the country, being on TV all the time, and putting out Dem messaging on EVERY issue. He would be an excellent counter-Leavitt. And we NEED one. He should be holding regular press conferences and putting

the takeaway from the Zohran Trump meeting is that Trump is a gullible fool who will temporarily bend to the last charismatic person he talked to. Zohran played him perfectly but that doesn’t mean Trump is good now. He’ll go back to fascism tomorrow morning after he talks to Stephen Miller

That orange guy not being held to any meaningful accountability is one of America's many unforgivable sins.

hahahaha just got an email from someone who was using Claude to generate a boilerplate #QuartoPub document and the LLM *used my name* as the author. The computers are literally trying to be me now 😂🤣🙃🫠

When I was filling out my tenure file paperwork, I asked ChatGPT to reformat my CV and it hallucinated new pubs I hadn't written (but apparently should have 😳).

France has added Musk’s Grok to an ongoing cybercrime investigation after it produced French-language posts echoing Holocaust denial about Auschwitz.

We know that’s not true!

Since ICE invaded Raleigh, NC, walkouts and protests have broken out, and more than 600 volunteers have signed up to help keep residents safe in the city.

Big Oil is using native advertising to "disguise their ads in news outlets" and promote "controversial technologies like carbon capture as climate solutions, portray fossil fuel companies as climate-friendly, or misrepresent their role in the energy transition" finds author @commscholar.bsky.social.

Other Federal Reserve officials have supported maintaining the current rates.

The DHS blamed immigrants for a number of problems known to be caused by outside economic factors.

Elizabeth Warren on Colbert's show: "We don't think one corporation or one man named David Ellison should be able to buy up all the shows and buy up all the sports and buy up all the news and decide who watches what and I'm gonna stay in that fight."

Rep. Jasmine Crockett has released receipts that reveal that ProPublica has reported that Kristi Noem secretly diverted hundreds of millions of dollars in Department of Homeland Security funds to a consulting firm affiliated with her own campaign.

X has changed their policy and now you can see where the accounts are based. Here’s an “influencer from Texas”

The Coast Guard will no longer classify swastikas and nooses as hate symbols. This action, coupled with the President's call to hang Democratic members of Congress - both in the past few hrs - are more than "potentially divisive." They are vile, unconscionable, and dangerous.

Kelly: "I never expected after serving 25 years in the Navy flying combat missions over Iraq and Kuwait, flying the Space Shuttle, that now I've got to worry about my personal safety and that of my wife, Gabby Giffords, who was already nearly assassinated, because of something the president said."

I am by no means a prominent public intellectual, but my inbox is increasingly filled with messages from people who have been convinced by sycophantic chatbots that they have discovered revolutionary theories that entirely upend our scientific understanding of the universe.

When the president tells a woman “Quiet, piggy” it’s time for everyone to make noise.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market. Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry. The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

Breaking: The House voted unanimously, 426-0, to strip a provision in the funding bill that allowed senators to sue the government for $500K if their phone data was searched without their knowledge. The provision was designed for GOP senators to sue over the Jack Smith investigation.

Epstein survivor Haley Robson refutes Mike Johnson: "The survivors that don't want to be public are Jane Does. They've been protected and their names have been redacted the whole time ... I don't care if my name is redacted is not."

Can’t believe the whole country has to suffer through the return of Dickensian childhood diseases because the worst, most ignorant attention-demanders decided other people’s expertise makes them feel bad

"Should this Al bubble pop, we should not be entertaining a bailout of these corporations while healthcare is being denied to Americans and SNAP is being denied to Americans." Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

Have the Democratic Party, the Center for American Progress, and the architects of Project 2029 disavowed Larry Summers? He's advising all of them and is a major liberal power player. He was also used by the Dem establishment to attack Mamdani. If they have, great; if not, why not?

Fox News credulously reports that "the Saudis now say their investment pledge in the US will be increased to $1 trillion." THE ENTIRE GDP OF SAUDI ARABIA IS $1.1 TRILLION, so this is total nonsense.

The Constitution prohibits cruel and unusual punishment. Where is the class action to challenge these centers are unconstitutional?

Judge orders Texas school districts to remove Ten Commandments displays from classrooms.

Swalwell: Kristi Noem and Tom Homan, you should familiarize yourselves with this room. Get to know that witness chair — you’re going to be parked in it for a long time. Accountability is coming.

This is what ICE and CBP presence does to a community. "But since U.S. Border Patrol descended on Charlotte over the weekend, with over 130 arrests in two days, the parking lot has been a desert. Mostly, all the businesses were closed except for the laundromat, which had about two patrons."

Jim Jordan opening his mouth is consistently a waste of time. Talking about John Brennan during the Epstein Files vote in the House... SMDH

DOJ will refuse to release the Epstein files based on their sham "ongoing investigation." Bookmark it.

Europe's electricity system is changing rapidly and often in places that don't make the headlines. Look at Estonia - not that long ago and fossil fuels dominated around 90% of electricity generation. Today solar and wind eat more and more into the share of fossil fuel-generated electricity.

NEW: The Indiana Senate voted 29-18 to reject a proposed, Trump-backed December session aimed at redrawing the state’s congressional map. The vote keeps the state’s current map intact, marking yet another rebuke of the president’s national gerrymander push.

notably, Fox News is not broadcasting the Khanna/Massie/Greene Epstein news conference live. CNN and MS are.

“ At just 16 years old, she took a job at Mar a Lago, believing she had secured a dream summer position. But that dream quickly morphed into a nightmare when Ghislaine Maxwell preyed upon her…. They trafficked her”

The pro-Nick Fuentes Administration destroying people and institutions on the basis of “fighting antisemitism” has me losing my damn mind. The Nazi-sympathizers pretending to be protectors of American Jews has to be one of the most profound mindfucks in an era rife with them.
