@no-tweets-no.bsky.social thanks for adding me—

Middle school boys "nudified" pictures of a classmate with AI and passed them around. She begged administrators to act; the school did nothing. Ridiculed and bullied, she fought the boy who started it. So of course the school disciplined HER. eedition.houstonchronicle.com/infinity/art... -

Another blow for truth from @naomioreskes.bsky.social and colleagues. A great story from @hirokotabuchi.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2026/01/02/c...

Rebecca Ingber, a former senior State Department lawyer, said that she did not see a legal means for the United States to “run” Venezuela. “This sounds like an illegal occupation under international law, and there is no authority for the president to do it under domestic law.”

If any country can just kidnap another country’s president in a fit of pique, this is the Duchy of Grand Fenwick’s moment to SHINE.

I think I’m going with the @nytimes.com on this one, thanks.

I’m sure they will meet us with flowers, right? That’s how it goes, and nothing will go wrong.

What a scoop from Lisa Friedman. “They just happened to mention to me they were going to D.C., and I was like ‘Well, my wife is back there.’” Mr. Falen said, about executives from Lithium America. “It was my fault because I just said, ‘Yeah, you should stop by and say hi to my wife.’”

In the old days, we would seek comment on stories about climate change from experts in the field who have spent decades studying evidence of the effects of greenhouse gases and findingsolutions. That ends today. Now we'll get your uncle Rooster who you had that big argument with at Thanksgiving.

"It was a turning point toward a version of Mr. Trump who is even more lawless than the one who governed the country in his first term. It heralded a culture of political unaccountability, in which people who violently attacked Congress and beat police officers escaped without lasting consequence."

None of you told me that HEB sells kimbap. Saving it for yourselves, I guess.

Yeah, baby. I wonder how much worse these years would have been WITHOUT the luck conferred by black-eyed peas.

Great @nytimes.com reporting here: "Since his return to office, President Trump and his family have engaged in a moneymaking campaign like none in modern American history. It is enriching the family, as well as important officials and business partners." www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

When you get the reputation of being the guy with the encouraging words on New Year's Eve, it can start to come through as a little pressure -- what if the situation on the ground is worse than usual? what if people are more scared than they usually are, and with cause? what use are good vibes then?

“Our investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results of the 2020 election and to prevent the lawful transfer of power,” Mr. Smith said, according to the transcript. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/31/u...

Heartbreaking news for any of us who were lucky enough to know Tatiana. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/30/u...

Reporters, doing their jobs. Doing them well. And being accused by MAGA officials of stalking and intimidation. People who don’t understand the role of the press in a democracy shouldn’t be allowed to lead. But the bigger problem is that they DO know the role of the press and want to squelch it.

DOGE: Fake savings, real damage and pain. Great reporting here from a @nytimes.com team. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/23/u...

“They will stop selling vaccines here,” Dr. Havers said. “And regardless of what ACIP says, regardless of what F.D.A. says, regardless of what your doctor says, and regardless of what you actually want, if companies don’t sell them, people can’t get them.” www.nytimes.com/2025/12/30/o...

Democratic erosion, but for public health. People will die.

"Trumpism seems to be seeking a form of talent autarky," writes @polgreen.bsky.social. "This is a radical change, and one that will surely leave the United States poorer, weaker and more isolated." www.nytimes.com/2025/12/29/o...

"Mr Miller’s belief that seven decades of immigration has produced millions of people who take more than they give—an assertion that has been refuted by years of economic data—is at the heart of the Trump administration’s campaign to restrict immigration and deport immigrants already in the country"
