It’s like a watergate level scandal every six hours plus he’s just straight up bombing boats full of civilians every few days

I just don’t really understand how this isn’t being treated more like an emergency situation

I am really proud to say I wrote the foreword to the esteemed Dr. Jonathan Howard’s new book about the bad actors who weaponized doubt to undermine the pandemic response. You should grab a copy!

Holy shit. The administration might be evacuating the ICE facility we've been protesting for weeks. If this ends up happening, it's a huge deal. Protests matter. www.huffpost.com/entry/ice-ev...

Fitting that Charlie Kirk’s memorial is basically a Nazi rally.

Not just Unpopular! He's also the Most Unworthy-Unqualified-Unethical-Uneducated-Unprepared-Undemocratic-Unfortunate-Unhinged-Unjust-Unread-Unappealing-Unconscionable-Untrustworthy-Unscrupulous-Unstable-Unbearable-Unlikable-Unreliable-Unsound & Unctuous President in Modern American History. 🇺🇸 🙄

If you would like to point to one major problem that led to why we are here, it is this. And what people tend to pay for more and more is opinions from people who are on the same page, and who utilize reporting from the last few outlets that do much.

The WaPo editorial board is basically just the Wall Street Journal editorial board from the aughts. Has been for years.

This is completely insane

Crockett: "I'm gonna honor someone who decided they were going to proclaim I was involved in the 'great white replacement'? Yeah, I'm not honoring that ... it's unfortunate more of my colleagues even on my side couldn't see the amount of harm this man was attempting to inflict upon our communities"

This is the most sobering post of the day. Aaron is absolutely right. This is the most brazenly corrupt, authoritarian regime the U.S. has probably ever seen. It is a test we cannot fail to rise to. Trump must be (legally) removed from office. Congress must act.

Former Meta exec who exposed the company’s China ties and treatment of teens is reportedly near bankruptcy after her book’s release, facing $50k fines per violation of a gag order against criticizing Meta. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

they don't want you to joke about a man's death but then they're out there saying things like this

Toxicology principle that needs to be mainstream: The dose makes the poison. That’s true of everything. Water. Oxygen. Vitamin A. Vitamin D. Aspartame. Formaldehyde. A single pear contains 120 times MORE formaldehyde than what might be in a vaccine. 1/

That the administration made this go away should be the end of the administration.

This is exactly right. Having covered how the Right manipulated public opinion with COVID, sowed doubt in science, found wedges to get mainstream buy-in for their narratives (school closures), and ultimately hamstrung our national response… …there’s a lot to learn.

the republican line to open corruption in the government is “WE DON’T CARE” lmfao

Fox News anchor called to “just kill” the unhoused. Another praised ICE agents for violently slamming a Democratic congressional candidate. Charlie Kirk called for Biden’s execution. Trump has called his opponents “vermin,” suggested roughing up protesters, etc. Fuck this bad faith DHS noise.

No thanks, we choose journalism. www.dhs.gov/news/2025/09...

The GOP stands for the gleeful destruction of the United States as a global leader in science and innovation. It stands for isolation and hokum. And the people will suffer for it. Medical research has been set back decades.

Let me just add to this: Nobody knew of him until he was amplified by a business-aligned dark money group for proposing mass infection as the path out of COVID. His ally at the group, by the way, is an anarcho-capitalist supporter of child labor and youth tobacco use.

Nathan Damigo, who is a white supremacist and was one of the main organizers of the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, openly encouraged his followers to attend Kirk’s campus events in February 2025… “These events are excellent places to recruit.” www.importantcontext.news/p/rewriting-...

Legacy media is getting led around on a leash by the political Right. This rewriting of hateful fascist Charlie Kirk is a dangerous state-backed propaganda campaign. www.axios.com/2025/09/19/c...

The Trump administration is basically a criminal enterprise.

You know what didn’t happen? Pundits going on Gab, Parler, Gettr, or Truth Social to repeatedly say “no one cares about this site, you’re in a bubble, you forfeited your influence, things are awesome on the site you don’t use anymore, so awesome that I come here to tell you you’re dumb unlike me.”

“When special agents in Texas began probing the subject’s claim that Homan was soliciting bribes, the White House border czar, 63, was president and owner of a private consulting business that said it could help companies in the border security industry win government contracts.”

Amongst the many, many other faults and follies of the party, perhaps the single most dangerous problem with the Democratic Party today is their incessant habit of reinforcing the idea that there is absolutely *no* principle that matters, no policy that is sacrosanct that they will stand behind.

“Find the votes” energy

The is one of the best pieces of anti-fascist art ever made. This incredible monologue will stir something deep inside you. But it is utterly lost on the cowards at Disney.

Keep in mind that this is taken from a Disney production, one that just this week won an Emmy. It may sound vaguely apropos. youtu.be/KYnE2Mxayco?...

We need to get Fox News off the air. This is wild. It’s not a news outlet. It’s state media and an incitement machine. They encourage violence against their political foes. Enough.

Any news outlet that doesn’t characterize this administration as American fascism is doing a disservice to its readers and the National discourse. These people are fascists.

"No vaccine was tested more extensively than the RNA vaccines, and no vaccine was given to more people than the mRNA vaccines, & they were found to be incredibly safe...and effective. They saved 20 million lives, & they stopped a pandemic that was shutting down the world." -Drew Weissman

Anyone who signs this pledge is not a journalist.

TGIF! I had a wild evening finishing my recap and criticism of this week's chaotic and unbearably stupid ACIP meeting. open.substack.com/pub/rasmusse...

These folks have exactly one strategy: Tack right on basic rights. It hasn’t worked. It’s allowed the GOP to continue moving right and go full on cuckoo bananas. But they don’t want to try anything else. It is beyond their comprehension that anyone would vote for a lefty who stands firm.

Next time Democrats have power, they should go after right-wing, political dark money groups and right-wing media. They should lean on major media companies to oust the right-wing voices they picked up to get along with the Trump regime. The president is opening this door. Make his party rue it

COVID killed 1.2 million Americans while a vaccine saved millions. Yet today, antivaxxers & disinformation doctors are in charge. How did this happen? COVID propaganda that started in 2020 led directly to this moment. Get comfortable. I lay it all out here. rumble.com/v6z2zva-ever...

Kennedy’s cranks on ACIP are no longer recommending COVID-19 vaccines. We can no longer look to ACIP, a once distinguished, trusted body, for honesty and good science. What a disgrace. What a humiliating disgrace to the United States. Willful self-immolation.

ACIP is going to recommend discontinuing the use of COVID vaccines. That’s my prediction.

Evergreen post honestly

Read every word of this thread and then read it a dozen times more

Charlie Kirk’s legacy

I want to reiterate that the Trump administration does not actually have the legal power to punish networks for content critical of the president or the political Right. That’s going to be true for a lot of the assaults on freedom that come from this regime. The answer is “fuck you, make me.”

I never realized how much time I truly had before my kid was born.

This has been basically every ACIP meeting with The New Batch. These people are so grossly unqualified, it would be hilarious if it weren’t so serious.

Robert Kennedy Jr. got clean, got into wellness and made it everyone’s problem.
