“We can no longer put our security on the choices of voters in Wisconsin every 4 years”

the usual story. rich guy wants to punish universities for not clamping down on pro-palestinian protests and for doing too much to recruit minorities. at base these guys want the top tier of american universities to become, once more, safe-spaces for their dunderheaded failsons

Which is what Black people have been saying about law enforcement for centuries. No one listened though. Now here we are.

The family of Trey Reed say no second autopsy has been done at this time.

Pope Leo will publish the first document of his tenure on October 9, the Vatican said on Saturday, with a text that is likely to offer hints about the new pontiff's priorities for the 1.4-billion-member Catholic Church. For @reuters.com

Russell Vought's sick little power trip will also hurt GOPers. One project he's cutting is the Pacific Northwest Hydrogen Hub, which spans Oregon, Washington, and...Montana. The state's GOP governor has hailed it for creating "good-paying Montana jobs." Oops. newrepublic.com/article/2012...

"And let us enforce the same rules. When you have a newspaper, you are responsible for what is published in it. When you have a social network, you must be responsible for what is published on it."

"...and towards algorithms designed to promote cognitive excitement, overreaction, and the volume of what we like or dislike, again favouring extremes, because at the heart of these models is the monetisation of your presence in order to sell it to advertisers."

"We have allowed public spaces to develop where everything is done to prevent reason, since, ultimately, the order of merit is that emotion is superior to argument and that negative emotion is superior to positive emotion."

Macron remarks are notable- some quotes: "We have been incredibly naive in entrusting our democratic space to social networks that are controlled either by large American entrepreneurs or large Chinese companies, whose interests are not at all the survival or proper functioning of our democracies."

Youths attack Black teen in Simi Valley parking lot while shouting racial slurs, authorities say

Again it’s the little folks showing the courage www.nytimes.com/2025/10/03/u...

They didn’t infiltrate. They were invited in by the Admin. And the mainstream WH press corps didn’t stand up for their own (Yamiche Alcindor, AP).

This is so massively fucked up. @warren.senate.gov and @edmarkey.bsky.social please tell me you're on this.

The grand son of Nelson Mandela is among the hostages too!

Thank you to @cnn.com for having me on this morning to talk the latest in immigration headlines out of Chicago — read more on these stories here: chicago.suntimes.com

Every American should read this judge’s stirring rebuke to Trump | Austin Sarat

Windows 7 is skyrocketing in popularity and I am pretty sure I found the reason: iOS 26. Confused? I can explain.

The US is deporting a journalist today Mario Guevara was live streaming ICE atrocities They grabbed him Detained him for 100 Days and are sending him to El Salvador without letting him say goodbye to his family The ACLU confirmed he was working in the US legally They’re attacking the free press

If we're going to be real, white people have been crying about every single thing that has happened to decenter them since the passing of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. They just keep finding new targets for their white whining.

Got a chance to speak to @andreahsu.bsky.social on @npr.org about how NIH has been largely shutdown since January. www.npr.org/2025/10/03/n...

This account. Chose to take a screenshot of a post that they could’ve linked directly to. Never uses #AltText and pretty regularly steals content without attribution. Idk why so many people follow them. Who are they?

The government is in full shutdown and the Republicans are refusing to call the House back into session. Want to know why? Because we have secured the final vote on releasing the Epstein Files and they don’t want it out. Call GOP and tell them to swear in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social.

This is good messaging.

The conservative movement runs on nothing but ginned up outrage bait that has a half-life of exactly one week

Amazing that Lutnick is still in there. Trumpworld furious with him for daring to talk about Epstein files in public, per @swin24.bsky.social

New study shows people seriously underestimate the degree to which people understand humans are driving climate change. In reality, 71-88% of people get this. But people “feel” it’s much lower. Good News: We are more willing to pitch in when they understand the consensus: spsp.org/news/charact...

Your gentle reminder that Rep. Melissa Hortman was assassinated on June 14 and hardly anyone bothered to talk about it.

Interesting that in the face of rising fascism, that today is the 90th anniversary of the invasion of Ethiopia by Italy. Ethiopia was the only African nation never to be colonized by European powers. Aww man, so much to say about the whole thing

Social media when Taylor Swift puts a new album out.

Watching Jay, I realize I am simply exhausted by folks in positions of leadership who are driven to distraction by critique. If you can't function with critique and pushback, a leadership position is not for you. Leadership REQUIRES you to absorb and process the critique of stakeholders.

"just upload a scanned image of your drivers license no big deal"

Lmaooo the inevitable pivot of all brain cooked CEOs

Even the grandchildren are using public property to run little grifts

i love that the average republican is a conspiracy theorist now

Imagine sending an airborne division after this guy

NEW @citizenlab.ca report: We uncovered a coordinated network of more than 50 inauthentic X profiles conducting an AI-enabled influence op whose aim was to foment revolt in Iran We assess the Israeli gov, or a private contractor under its direction, is responsible citizenlab.ca/2025/10/ai-e...

Seems that U.S. “intelligence officials” are so sick of Israel’s shit that they’re leaking to the news that Netanyahu personally ordered drone strikes on the Sumud Flotilla in Tunisia

Incredibly funny for her to try and be like “we don’t really believe in moderation, man”

"The anti-Semites will become our most dependable friends, the anti-Semitic countries our allies." - Theodore Herzl, founder of modern political Zionism

always good when the biggest crashout in the history of a website is its CEO

ABSOLUTE CINEMA

This was the widely accepted belief everywhere except the US and now it is confirmed.

American intelligence officials have now confirmed to CBS News that Netanyahu ordered the drone attacks on the Sumud flotilla while it was docked in Tunisia, an attack launched from Israeli Navy submarines off the Tunisian coast.

republican !!

jesus christ

And not a single Republican has the fucking spine to stand up to him.

but her emails I'm sure NYT will have months of breathless coverage on this.

Oh dang. This is an excellent analogy.

In case you wonder why an older white woman in Northern Virginia donates every month to support @mississippifreepress.org, it’s to support work like this — plus the dedication to report local news fearlessly (or feeling fear, but continuing anyway, which is the definition of courage).
