The Post Office is a service the government supplies to its citizens. Profit should not be the metric that is used to evaluate it. We do not ask police forces to turn a profit, even though there exist private security firms.

An American journalist helped facilitate RFK Jr's ingratiation into Trump's world and kept secret disqualifying information on him that could have kept him out of major policy, which impacts millions of people.

I can't stop thinking about the purported drug smugglers being murdered by the US military. The punishment for drug offenses isn't the death penalty. This is just bloodlust and men in suits playing with lives they don't care about. It's truly grotesque and gravely compromises this country.

I haven’t seen so many people on drugs pretend to care about drug trafficking since DARE

Now that SCOTUS has validated gerrymandering for any racist arbitrary reason imaginable—EVERY Blue state Governor needs to redistrict their state to completely eliminate red seats. This is the MAGA precedent. It is law now. Run with it. Beat MAGAs at their own game. Vote MAGAs out permanently.

All media mergers end up hurting writers, actors, directors, and everyone else who works in the industry. Executives, assistants, caterers, teamsters, everyone. Fewer companies means fewer jobs, period.

The fact that four hostile drones tried to hit Zelenskyy’s plane & it’s barely a blip in the news cycle should terrify everyone. We’ve been dragged so deep into the chaos era that an attempted strike on a world leader doesn’t even break through. When this becomes normal, the world is in real danger.

Periodic reminder that @nytimes.com steals a ton of its "scoops" from independent journalists who beat them to the punch and refuses to credit them

The pipe bomb suspect getting arrested by this dumbshit iteration of the FBI after 5 years just proves even more that the people in power over the last few years cared so little about getting to the bottom of the attempted coup of January 6th and just wanted to move on and hope things worked out.

See also: university presidents/administrators, editors/journalists at the papers/networks of record, CEOs, etc. etc. The skills that secured peak elite status in every societal institution pre-2025 are precisely those least suited for countering a far right authoritarian threat to the Republic.

I swear maybe once a decade in public, and this is the moment. This fucking racist and all the gibbering racists nodding along behind him are the ruination of our country. Our fucking job for the next fucking year is to fucking destroy them in the next election. Fuck them.

The one year anniversary of Yoon's failed martial law takeover just passed and lots of untold stories came out proving that THE ONLY REASON KOREA IS STILL A FREE COUNTRY IS BECAUSE PEOPLE DISOBEYED ILLEGAL ORDERS. The coup was over in hours because people said no.

No mention that Prospera is the flagship project of the Network State cult. This is why I say this stuff isn't being covered by the mainstream media. The Network State is crucial context, since this cult has seized US government control and is trying to build these cities all over the world.

This is especially true for Right Wing Authoritarian personalities. They prioritize "normal" and feel safest when their choices are simple (or made for them) and conform to the group. That level of comfort is easily threatened. Liberals tend to like novelty and choice and difference. Good video.

This is constantly happening. A paramilitary force is violently enforcing second-class status for nonwhite people the United States with the support of police forces across the country. Sure, ICE must be abolished, but so must every institution that supports such brutality. & this cannot be reformed

Time and time again, Dem Leadership has protected corrupt representatives on both sides of the aisle, rather than taking a stand for the American people. In 2022, establishment Dems rallied the troops to fend off Cuellar's pro-choice challenger as the Supreme Court destroyed Roe vs Wade.

1. Jared Kushner's trip to Moscow yesterday was not just unethical; it was illegal. You cannot accept tens of millions of dollars from foreign governments and simultaneously conduct high-level diplomacy for the federal government. It says it right in the Constitution.

This is racist and dangerous. Last I checked, Somalians are Black and Rep. Omar is a colleague. Where are the @housedemocrats.bsky.social? The @blackcaucus.bsky.social ? Do not allow these insults to go unanswered.

Just bumping this up...

It cannot be stressed enough that Trump is attempting to instigate surrogate violence against sitting members of Congress. This is terrorism and it must be seen for what it is the Republicans are grooming their followers for mass violence against their perceived enemies in the same style as j6

The cruelty is so breathtaking. Really hard to look at it.

I used to think Republicans fell in line because they feared Trump would attack them in a primary election. Now, I realize it's much worse. They are physically afraid of Trump's supporters and the risk of violence.

“I just want there to be a car that drives itself so I can get places without thinking about it” hello, please meet: train. also see: bus

If you don't want to read a book about a magnificent unicorn who accidentally sits in some paint and feels silly (and then discovers he's still lovable in his mistake), then that's fine. But to ban this book (for 10 years!) to make sure no one else can read it because of the word "heinie"? SMH. 8/

You mean the 10 top wealth hoarding creeps who are destroying everything they touch. We should stop acting like accumulating wealth is 1. a good accomplishment 2. not destructive as fuck to the rest of us.

This is also what Trump's plan for "Freedom Cities" is about. A plot to give federal land to billionaires so they can create democracy-free zones without laws, regulations, or taxes. A blueprint for a post-democracy world. Expect a big push toward creating these new Fascist Cities...soon.

This exposé is breathtaking. Witkoff and Kushner do not just have conflicts of interest - thy are deeply woven into a web of Russian influence peddling by "investments". Money, personal ties and geopolitics have become indistinguishable. bylinetimes.com/2025/12/01/t...

This is an ethnic cleansing campaign

Former Honduran president Juan Orlando Hernández—pardoned by Trump while the counting in Honduras’ current presidential election is still in progress—-was accused not only of drug trafficking, but also of election fraud during the 2013 and 2017 Honduran presidential elections. 1/

I got mine right away because my sister got it while in the middle of her two shots! It’s very very painful. This extra benefit is icing on the cake. Remember kids, vaccines are good!

If we can’t stand up for trans people who are we? What do we stand for?

If you want to make your own whistle kits or do 3d printing of whistles etc @dansinker.com has got you covered dansinker.com/posts/2025-1... and there are also a ton of "how to help" links from @lefttheprairie.bsky.social linktr.ee/apwhistles

Hard to think of a worse human being than Juan Hernandez former president of Honduras who Trump is pardoning from drug charges. Why do it? This seems like the answer.

Thank you, Senator. As a Northwestern faculty member, I'm sad to report that they threw us under the bus too, not only through the agreement's terms, but bc the faculty assembly had voted nearly unanimously (595-4!) against a deal (more details here): dailynorthwestern.com/2025/10/29/o...

There is a direct line between NYT and others repeating lies about science about trans healthcare for minors, and repeating lies about science about vaccines for minors. Despicable, but predictable. Fight for trans people, before they come for you.

This story is horrifying. I’m sure there are many more that weren’t caught in camera.

He’s letting white collar criminals walk free: More than 1,000 people submitted statements attesting to their losses…‘hardworking, everyday people,’ including small business owners, farmers, veterans, teachers and nurses. “I lost my whole life savings,” one wrote, “I am living from check to check.”

To make common cause with this Administration is to support an affirmatively white supremacist vision of this country. Period. Every corporation. Every Republican. Every influencer. Every Governor. Every evangelical leader. Every voter. Yes. Every voter.

George Lakoff and I pushed this simple and reasonable idea years ago. When I returned to journalism, I realized the problem. Editors care more about SEO and controversy (=clicks) than about whether the headline is destroying truth. Incentive is to bait engagement at all cost.

Literally buying one copy of a book at your local indie bookstore can mean the difference in whether they buy future books from that author.

Wait so there are Peter Thiel-backed landlocked seasteading libertarian cities that the current Honduras govt wants to get rid of that Roger Stone has been advocating for that JOH also supports? And Stone has also been advocating for JOH 's pardon? www.nytimes.com/2024/08/28/m...

Important thread on what college students are facing. Keep in mind that 18 year olds this year faced Covid at 13–a tough age to be isolated.

We capitulated with that white ethno state and ended reconstruction early due to white power terrorism all so Jim Crow could be king for a century or more. Trump is an outgrowth of that failure to meaningfully hold anyone accountable after hundreds of thousands died to do so.

"Western civilization," the font, the 11 stars - 11 states in the confederacy, for the record. Why is this never news? Why are we letting our government agencies do this sort of thing while the news agencies report on hallucinated trade deals and act like everything is normal

I love New Yorkers!

11th most distributed paper sandwiched between The Boston Globe and the Chicago Tribune? Amazing! Help them reach their new goal of surpassing Bezos’ Washington Post.

A🧵 This is profoundly irresponsible by AGSulzberger’s NYT, @by-cjewett.bsky.social +eds. The normalization, “view-from-nowhere”, “born-yesterday”, stenography, “both-sides”, irresponsible headline are disgraceful. THE story is the CDC&FDA are being destroyed by antiscience & Americans will die. 1/n

We will be able to rebuild a constitutional order when Trump is deposed. But it will require rooting out the influence of billionaires, reinvigorating democratic decision making, and complete reform of the corrupted courts. We can do this.

A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing. And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.

The problem is not the law, it is a failure to apply it to elites for several generations
