notice the general mood of the timeline? how everyone is in a good mood and there’s a lot less misery and dooming? how there’s a lot of “we’re going to beat these assholes”? anyway that’s why these events are important

If only OpenAI could have foreseen the entirely predictable hazards of irresponsibly releasing this tech. I guess the estate of every dead person will have to individually request a special dispensation to no longer have disgusting videos made by OpenAI’s tools.

even in our era of shamelessness "I love Hitler" may prove to be a bridge too far - not everyone is quite as committed to open amorality as JD Vance and friends, after all www.politico.com/newsletters/...

People experiencing miscarriages in states with abortion bans told us they wished they had known what to expect and how to advocate for themselves. We created this guide for anyone who finds themselves in the same position 👇 (Published Dec. 2024)

Very sad to have published this obituary tonight, but tried to do her legacy justice Miss Major Griffin-Gracy, Stonewall Veteran and Legendary Trans Activist, Has Died at 78 www.them.us/story/miss-m...

This week on the blog: More Peasants! This week, we're modeling the full(ish) structure of women's labor in a pre-industrial peasant household, very roughly assessing the work required for textiles, farming, cooking, cleaning, childcare, etc. Now with pie chart! acoup.blog/2025/10/10/c...

Bluesky deleted my post complaining about the CEO lol. I did not delete it myself! Full on Lowtaxing from Jay here.

genuinely impossible to overstate what the secret police are doing. It is state hooliganism. It is gangsterism as policy. It is the jouissance of the original klan nightriders that followed the civil war. they terrorize minority communities while intentionally paralyzing local governments.

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.

Wizards of the Coast is hosting a Twitch stream to support Trans Lifeline, a hotline and non-profit organization offering direct support to trans people in crisis – for the trans community, by the trans community. Tune in to twitch.tv/magic on Oct 4th at 10am PT to play games with us and support!

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it? If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say? Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

Miss Major, one of the mothers of the trans liberation movement, has been in the hospital for 10 days with sepsis and a blood clot. She has looked out for us for generations, now it’s time to look out for her. Donate if you can: fundly.com/missmajor

Ok. So there's A LOT of misinformation about the government shutdown, the continuing resolution and gender-affirming care. There was one article in PinkNews that was VERY shoddy about what Trump said. So let's breakdown what's true and what's BS. 1/ www.thepinknews.com/2025/09/29/t...

In honor of Eric Adams dropping out, I'm now resharing my all-time favorite bit of Eric Adams content for years, this thing was like my video from The Ring, where I had to get other people to watch it in order for me to stay alive enjoy www.youtube.com/watch?v=sk2W...

"Democracy dies if prominent black writers don't frame their arguments around appeasing white voters in Wisconsin," or "Democracy dies unless liberal writers praise radical, hateful conservative activists" is the subtext. And it's worth thinking through who makes these kinds of arguments and why.

Call Gavin Newsom's office like you called ABC/Disney/Sinclair/Nexstar

The most accurate recreation of DS9 I've seen.

NEW WIRED led the way in reporting on Elon Musk's efforts to dismantle the US government. My colleagues and I spoke to 100s of employees at dozens of agencies to understand what happened. This is the definitive story of DOGE as told by those who experienced it www.wired.com/story/oral-h...

If you were concerned about Kimmel, here's another for you… Journalist Mario Guevara has been detained for 100+ days, ironically arrested as he reported on a "No Kings" protest. The Trump-Vance admin just issued an order of final removal, to send him to El Salvador—where he fled from 21 years ago.

Not covering trans issues like this is a choice, and one that could still be rectified at any time

I like Jimmy Kimmel. I really do. I have no issues with him. I'm talking about something very different. Kimmel was only suspended. But he's back now. Karen Attiah and all the other Black journalists are still fired. Y'all do know how to fight, when you want to. But you don't really want to. 🤷🏿‍♂️

Madison Carstens, a transgender woman from Seattle, was attacked by six men in a transphobic hate crime on Sept 2. She suffered a ruptured eardrum - that may have permanently damaged her hearing - and a severe concussion that will keep her out of work for weeks or months. Do your thing, fam. (1/2)

A fantastic article showing the antisemitism that informs anti-leftist rhetoric where ‘jew’ and ‘communist/ leftist’ are interchangeable I also wonder if butler’s position as a prominent trans academic might be a second reason for this.

"'The harsh reality is that it tends to be trans people saving each other,' Angel says. 'If we could depend on cis people to protect us, then maybe we wouldn’t need to fundraise, or share each other’s mutual aid posts, or even do this interview.'"

I would like to remind everyone that the #Nazi order to euthanize those with mental health issues (and other #disabilities ♿️) was called Aktion T4. This involuntary euthanasia killed 300K people by conservative estimate. Kilmeade is promoting Nazi killing protocol. Literally, he is saying we should.

What’s at stake here is free speech. Across the board, we’ve seen the Trump administration use the power of government to go after anybody who’s criticized them — and in this case, Jimmy Kimmel. We need to all stand up and speak out.

now is the time for every media personality to stand up and speak out, because what this shows is that nothing will save you they’re coming for all of you, unless you’re a true believer your days are numbered and your bosses are eager to comply do something you can be proud of on your way out

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

the problem with media corporations negotiating with fascists is that the negotiation is never over.

Do not put your name on a website to register for a rally in this political climate. What the fuck's wrong with y'all. Are there any people of color that work at this org who might knock some sense into your peach colored heads.

The rapper’s four felony charges underscore a practice that advocates say disproportionately burdens Black defendants. capitalbnews.org/lil-nas-x-ch...

"On the last episode of his show before he was killed," Kirk told "his audience, falsely, that “one in 22 Black men will be a murderer in their lifetime” and that “by age of 23, half of all Black males have been arrested and not enough of them have been arrested.”

Meant to share this link to help Gretchen and the lost revenue from losing her book.

Rarely does this regime give such a compliment to the folks fighting back. Please work to make this courage contagious: nokings.org

Everyone clear your schedules for October 18 and find the nearest No Kings protest.

i just sent this email to @ezraklein.bsky.social

Hello everyone. You may know Gretchen Felker-Martin has once again been suspended from bc they do that whenever some chud complains. Her brand-new ongoing DC series was also cancelled for the same reason. It’s stupid fascist bullshit as usual. Gretchen’s work rules. Consider supporting her here:

This is also the exact vibe of Charlie Kirk obituaries. Nary a mention of how he said he’d hypothetically force his daughter to deliver her rapist’s baby at age 10

Remember that when Luigi allegedly smoked a CEO and the media did this same act (including Kirk, if I remember correct!) but people were all "naw that was funny we stan our assassin king" and the media eventually gave up. The full court media/politician press doesn't work when people hate a fucker

Charlie Kirk said this in July 13, 2023: "Black women do not have brain processing power to be taken seriously. You have to go steal a white person's slot."

Just so we're clear, Ezra Klein believes that practicing politics the right way is saying things like "gay people should be stoned to death" just so we're clear. Ezra Klein thinks we need more of that.

Here's a chilling clip, in which he advocates for televised executions as required viewing for kids. His colleagues appear to possibly be trolling, but he seems to keep bringing it back to earnestness, insisting that the executions be a "holy" experience for children. www.reddit.com/r/ToiletPape...

This is class solidarity. In case you’re at all confused.

Right....

He was an advocate of violence against his political opponents and took positions like “the civil rights act should be repealed,” “the Jews are replacing white people,” and “Ukraine is an evil country and we should let them die.” Kirk’s entire career played a nontrivial role in getting us here.

He said his audience should "stop transgender people" and "buy a lot of bullets." In 2024, he said a bible verse that called for queer people to be stoned to death was "god's perfect law when it came to sexual matters." You tell me that wasn't violent. You tell me those weren't threats.

charlie kirk died for what he believed in. in a very literal sense: he believed in a world where gun deaths are inevitable and the solution to problems is violence. he excused his own death years before it happened. and if anyone else had been killed he'd already be weaponizing and relativizing it.

Wild how political alliance with Zionism sweeps all sorts of wild statements about Jews under the table
