Look, you either get on board with AI, or stay stuck in a productive, creative life. Don’t get left behind!

QRP with the doctors you'd trust leading the hantavirus response instead of RFK Jr.

She wasn’t a public activist or a political figure. She was a physician in Baltimore working quietly inside a system that often restricted what women could even be told about their own bodies. Her name was Bessie Moses. #EternalLight #JewishAmericanHeritageMonth 1/10

Tell the kids we use to go days, weeks even, without thinking about the president.

If any news outlets are covering this and want to talk to a trans Genomics PhD who specialized in human genetics and the evolution of sex, please reach out to me This is complete nonsense scientifically. It's fascist eugenics, not biology Setting a horrifying precedent for genocide

Abolish the legal gender marker entirely. No government can be trusted to have a database of which people have changed theirs, no government has any business tracking what your gender is "supposed" to be in the first place.

As of tonight, licenses of trans people across Kansas are being invalidated en masse, enabling the overnight criminalization of an entire group of people for going about our lives. It’s often said you never know when you’re living through history, so let me assure you: that’s what’s happening now.

The reason you can’t give a single inch on anything be it trans rights or dignity for unhoused people is that they, democrats and republicans alike, will take it and say thanks what else is in your pockets? They won’t say thanks actually.

everyone in this fucking administration spends their days sitting around trying to think of new ways to kill more americans

They beat a blind refugee who speaks no English for failing to obey police commands he could not understand. Then instead of apologizing, they charged him with possession of a “weapon”—HIS WALKING STICK. Then they dumped him miles from home without notifying anyone, after which he was found dead.

"We are dealing now with an allegation that the president of the US raped and sexually assaulted a child and is now using his DOJ to try to cover that up." If you want to understand latest Epstein revelations, @leahlitman.bsky.social explains them clearly on our pod: newrepublic.com/article/2070...

They won't start with banning birth control. First they'll lie about it. Then dictate who can prescribe it, use it, fund it, in what forms, and for how long. Suddenly, your doctor won't call you back. I know this is what they'll do because it's what they're doing to transgender healthcare right now.

1. “MeToo went too far” 2. President of Harvard caught discussing female mentees with convicted sex trafficker

Authoritarianism is rising because our democracy was failing before Trump. When pro-democracy forces take back power, we can’t just restore the status quo. We need to change a political system that gives oligarchs a veto over working people. We need a new democracy.

The Epstein files document what many women researchers have long experienced but rarely seen laid bare so starkly: exclusion operating behind closed doors, shaping who gets funded, invited, mentored, and taken seriously. How many of these networks, norms, and gatekeepers remain in place?

thinking about how Savannah Guthrie had to cancel her trip to work the Olympics because of her mom’s kidnapping but the guy who heads up the investigative body handling the case was posting pictures of himself in the US hockey locker room today lol

Of all the things we are doing in MN, this one is just beyond. Imagine being released from hell alone in the cold. And a total stranger has waited all night with a blanket just to be ready to hug you and carry you home. Every job we do is crucial, but this one is what restores humanity and dignity.

A lot of places are about to be bombed in a country far away and a good many people killed because Donald Trump cannot make anyone forget or ignore the accusations of what he did with young girls. That is now the foreign policy of the United States.

Just in case you miss any piece of the slide into authoritarianism, now there's a dashboard.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

I don’t really know what I expect in posting this, but maybe some people see it and can learn from it. I’ll call it “lessons from an unwilling immigration attorney.” 1/

In incredible news, the European Parliament has voted overwhelmingly for "The Full Recognition Of Trans Women As Women." Even the center-right European People's Party voted for the declaration. It will form a foundation for their position at the UN Commission on the Status of Women. Our latest.

the "it's impossible to have a conversation about AI right now" folks need to grok that a huge volume of that furor is entirely justified rage at the fact tech oligarchs purchased an automated murder autocracy; rage that's good and useful and deserves a generous berth in the months and years to come

Emperor's clothes gonna look great. Next year or later.

The Dow just dipped below 50k so could someone let Bondi know she should care about child traffickers and rapists now?

I’d like Ron Johnson to explain why being near federal agents who are supposed to be protecting us is “harm’s way.”

Over on threads someone just use ai;dr and we all need to adopt that right quick

This is the second account - the first being in Chicago - of DHS agents mass detaining people and then *sorting them by race*.

So, to wrap up today's insanity: President Trump, who is deeply implicated in a pedophilia scandal involving his best friend, the sex trafficker, sent Attorney General Bondi -- who only has that job because Trump's first choice was also implicated in a separate pedophilia scandal -- to the House...

Rabbis and protesters blow their shofars in front of ICE HQ. #JewsAgainstIce

Hey look! An "at least he made the trains run on time" moment.

Worth watching this in full. The statement is more powerful than this quote alone. Here is is from USA Today, with alt text. Also! Rich Ruohonen is a personal injury lawyer and the oldest athlete to ever represent the United States in a Winter Games at 54 years old.

The only reason you go to the mattresses to keep the masks on is because you know people are gonna find pardoned J6ers and guys on those sex offender lists who couldn't get jobs elsewhere amongst the ranks

Call lies lies. Call murder murder. Call fascism fascism. Name reality.

Goldman to Lyons: "You said in your opening statement that references to ICE as 'the Gestapo' or 'secret police' encourages threats against ICE agents. The problem is you have it backwards. People are simply making valid observations about your tactics, which are un-American and outright fascist."

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

So, wait: Drastically increasing the cost of doing business by arbitrarily imposing massive tariffs and running a nationwide coordinated terror campaign against your own workforce is BAD for the economy?!?!?!

There are already concentration camps and they are building more. Pretty much every time in history that there have been concentration camps, mass graves have followed. Any "exceedingly reasonable" demand would dismantle ICE to prevent there being a mass grave up the road in fucking Hagerstown.

Unionize your workplace so you can call the president a pedophile in the national spotlight and keep your job

When I worked for Reason magazine during Trump's rise to power in 2016, I was explicitly forbidden by the editor in chief from writing about Trump's racism, or the violence and racism at his rallies. It was a "sideshow," I was told.

There are much greater issues in this world, but the capitalized T in the Olympics motto grapic gets my eye twitching every time it shows up on screen. Like: I know why it's there, but I feel like the same idea could've been communicated without always looking like a mistake. cc: @bcdreyer.social

It does really hit you that American artists of color continue to make these aesthetically incredible, thematically rich works of art and the white supremacists that rule this country are just complete dullards

This kind of smart, walkable, mixed-use urbanism is illegal to build in most American cities.

I’m Analilia Mejia and I approve this message.

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century. He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.
