It is genuinely pretty tough to know how to feel about this happening in a Trump +30 state.

@mcuban.bsky.social what you laughing at there exactly?

Which hypocrisy should we go with? The ban on nationwide injunctions? The Commerce clause? State's rights? Parental rights? So many to choose from.

🚨 The NYT appears to have taken a great feature story written by my colleague at Bolts about a west Tennessee county & the VRA, & essentially rewritten it. (Same frame, similar hed, overlapping sources.) Without a single mention, credit, let alone the a hyperlink buried somewhere.

new zealander everlee wihongi was due to meet with her lawyer yesterday. then ICE moved her to their most notorious tent facility in texas: 3000 people, highest death rate, most sexual assaults. and today, she disappeared off the system. please RT: www.webworm.co/everleehasdi...

An absolutely insane, lawless decision. Truly wild

Hey, so, weird thing: A few hours after we published this story my Bluesky account was suspended for what I was told was “suspicious activity” detected on my account, akin to being hacked.

"I invite you to join me in prioritizing family" - Melania Trump, in her "Mothers are America's strength" op-ed. 🙄

The Sargent at Arms blocks Representative Justin Pearson from Memphis from entering a committee meeting about redrawing the map specifically for the district he represents.

Six months ago, the federal government indicted me, my friend Andre, and four others for protesting ICE. Our trial is this month and we are facing up to $250k in legal debt. Please help us win our case and protect all of our rights by donating to our legal defense: tinyurl.com/katandre

This is quite literally because she mocked GOP senators as being beholden to Trump and almost certainly no other reason.

Very confused by commentators taking Obama's interview as critical of the progressive left while he praises and elevates the most visible young progressive politician in the nation. Y'all need your heads examined.

What does "help Americans quit antidepressants" even mean? Are we going to quit heart medication next? Who needs insulin when you can just exercise with your friend Kid Rock? I mean, just ...

Really f'ing insightful and intellectually honest take on the Met Gala from a social media (and fashion) legend 👇

Cornell '81 grad here. I figured it would be helpful to share the story from The Sun- credit where credit is due. www.cornellsun.com/article/2026...

This story was broken by The Cornell Sun, which @nytimes.com nowhere cites. As a former editor-in-chief of The Sun — and in the name of brave, amazing college newspapers everywhere — do not treat student journalists as truffle pigs, taking what they've sniffed out without credit or compensation.

relatedly i strongly believe — and i think there is even research to this effect — that people are routinely told that affirmative action or DEI is to blame for their professional or academic failures to avoid having to confront them with the realities of their performance

Oh gosh how else would we get both sides of what's happening in our government from this notoriously taciturn, honest and credible administration. Miss me with this bull.

She quite literally said she was being cancelled for being at the dinner. So this is an awfully weird defense.

Hey, yeah. No. You don't get to claim some sort of pivot now, sorry.

For decades, birthday party clowns folded balloons and played games. John Wayne Gacy is taking a different approach.

🧵Missed diagnoses, delayed treatment and poor medical care are driving record deaths in ICE custody. @kolyncheang.bsky.social and I spent months investigating the deaths of ICE detainees across the US. Over and over again, we found lapses in treatment that proved fatal.

"Why are the people we had expelled, deported, and arrested not protesting on campuses?" - they asked, sincerely and stupidly.

What a victory.

I am not joking or doing a bit when I say that the mainstream media needs to take a long look at their conduct in covering the lead up to the last election, and how they've responded to the second Trump admin, and think very hard about how much blood is on their hands.

We used to be a real country

is that bad?

This is a massively underappreciated practical & logistical problem. There are at least hundreds of children found abandoned every year, but more importantly, TENS TO HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS who have no father listed at birth.

I am constantly amazed at how many people have totally internalized the blatantly false belief that Section 230 was premised on platforms being "neutral" when the ENTIRE point of it was the opposite, that they shouldn't have to be.

Narrator: it is, quite literally, a right.

The proliferation of this quote is so interesting to me. It's often posted by right wing chuds who use it to defend conventional aesthetic ideas — such as the importance of having a lean, athletic body — but they don't really understand Owens's work. Let's talk about it. 🧵

Once again, for conservatives "freedom of speech" means freedom from being confronted with, in even the most trivial way, ideas they disagree with.

When people say "don't blame voters in X red state" and I say "I absolutely do" this is the stuff I'm talking about.

ICYMI — one of Elon’s DOGE guys Justin Fox saying a documentary is “DEI” if it’s about how historical events impact led Black civil rights because it’s “not for the betterment of humankind”

This is Nathan Cavanaugh, another DOGE staffer explaining how he flagged grants at NEH for "DEI" which would be reviewed for termination. 404 Media has reviewed hours of this footage and we'll have more soon. Part of a lawsuit by @acls1919.bsky.social, @modernlanguage.bsky.social + @historians.org

"where are the student protestors now" as if they were not expelled, arrested, threatened, derided, abandoned, and deported. as if we didn't systematically punish what could have been our own next generation of active political leaders. jfc.

One day the NYT's editors will read these stories again and be ashamed of themselves. Mamdani called the attack "heinous," "criminal," "reprehensible," "terrorism," and "the antithesis of who we are." The insinuation that he's conflicted about this is disgraceful. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/09/n...

The Iranian girls’ school was hit by a US tomahawk cruise missile. NPR has confirmed the footage.

Breaking News: New video adds to evidence that a U.S. missile likely hit an Iranian school where 175 people, many of them children, were reportedly killed.

WELCH: Mr. Yoho is also the husband of your former spokesperson, Tricia McLaughlin? NOEM: Yes WELCH: So your former assistant and her husband are the ones that got the DHS no bid contract for $143m. Any dispute about that? NOEM: No.

AI bros are COOKED! I created this entire sequence with my camera, using human skills. Something like this would have cost dozens of dollars in prompting, but for me it was completely free.

I understand in some level what's being argued here, but it shows a distinct unwillingness to engage with the reality that if a paper publishes 5 conservative op-eds for every progressive op-ed, well, it might just have an editorial perspective supporting one side vs another.

“President Trump's decision to bomb Iran is indefensible. This was not about preempting an imminent threat—it was a strategically misguided power play, with no discernible endgame,” Cato Institute’s Jon Hoffman says.
