Sickening behavior by this agent. The fact that Mayor Adams has rolled out the red carpet for ICE is a stain on our city.

Surely my Senator is aware Sinclair isn’t bowing to Trump, it’s cheering him on. Dem politicians need to be developing plans to break up these right-wing media monopolies and laying the rhetorical groundwork for it.

These people are genuinely crazy, and they’re going to get a lot of less well informed people killed. Taking livestock drugs only makes sense if you’re LIVESTOCK. C’mon.

remember when bernie sanders directly asked lee zeldin at his confirmation hearing if he agreed with president elect trump that climate change was a hoax

#ProudBlue Everyone wondering why on earth the Dems would allow the govt to shut down, see below.

i am seriously begging democrats to bring the same smoke to this story that they brought to jimmy kimmel being indefinitely suspended

The slow death of one of the few good things to come out of COVID is maddening

I’m starting to notice a trend in the polling data… —Top Public Worry: Corruption —Biggest problem in Fed Gov: Corruption —Top fear: Corruption —What one word would you use to describe American government?: “Corrupt” It’s almost like voters are trying to tell us something.

Worse than that. "They thought AI was making them 20% faster, but it was actually making them 19% slower. […] My argument: If so many developers are so extraordinarily productive using these tools, where is the flood of shovelware?"—Mike Judge He's exactly right. Maybe this technology will

I'm a reporter not a political strategist, but one answer to the question of "What can the opposition do?" is "Use the extraordinary investigative powers members of Congress have even when in the minority to get new information courts and journalists can't get."

Most of the brains in the US are pulling in the wrong direction. That doesn't have to be permanent. I don't mean wrong in terms of voting, I mean in terms of working, and in terms of one's economic relationship with democracy. @jgkoomey.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2024/05/22/b...

to me, specifically.

You seem to label common sense as psyop. Weird. The only psyop I have observed in the last decades is the relentless spread of misinformation and lies by Fox and the likes. The result is the current dire state of affairs in the US.

I debated a Trump supporter, sticking to facts and proof, to see if he had any point at all? What started as a curse laden initial message unsurprisingly ended in a racist petty tirade with subtle threats & devoid of facts—but with a critical lesson learned www.qasimrashid.com/p/i-tried-to...

This exchange is worth reading. We need to face the fact that a significant part of the U.S. population has no grip on reality.

In her launch, McMorrow bashed “the same old crap in Washington” and showed polls with Dem ratings at new lows. “We need new leaders.” “Because the same people in D.C. who got us into this mess are not going to be the ones to get us out of it.” She started a trend: www.nbcnews.com/politics/202...

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...

This is not a romance. Nobody is "in love" with apps. There are no A.I. boyfriends. You cannot "date" a chatbot. Accepting this framing and treating it as real is tech-industry propaganda. slate.com/technology/2...

At some point people need to learn that the poverty rate is mostly about the safety net or lack thereof and not the economy. The economy was doing historically well, real wages rising for the first time in decades, etc. And poverty rose because pandemic safety policies expired.

This data needs to be backed up with action. No one should have to live with exposure to these pollutants!

If some of you want to learn more about the Chernobyl accident, there's this guy. Hours upon hours discussing the timeline, the physics, the people, the documents, the inaccuracies of that one show everybody watched and more.

Where is the Jimmy Kimmel support network energy for the thousands of people who have been silenced for political critique in America?

Think of it as detectives gathering evidence at a crime scene.

More unconstitutional censorship from Republicans. What will it take for our mainstream media to publicly acknowledge that the GOP has embraced fascism?

Honestly, he got it. This is an impossibly hard thing to get right. I can quibble about some parts, and it’s impossible to do normie content that’s also sufficient for the moment, but he did as good a job as is possible. Especially glad he rightfully called out the threat to journalists.

In case your local Sinclair or Nexstar (🖕🏽) owned station didn't air Jimmy Kimmel Live tonight, here it is on the show's YouTube channel. youtu.be/c1tjh_ZO_tY?...

Understanding this incredibly important point has been one of the most important differences for me between good & bad politicians in my observation over 33 years working in various capacities with politicians. I legitimately cheered when @jacindaardern.bsky.social said it. And Stewart’s reaction!

This is how to frame the school choice debate. Brilliant! www.youtube.com/shorts/abaRZ...

this excuse is remarkably similar to the Roberts Court's doctrine that you cannot ascribe racism or racially-discriminatory motives to anyone unless they make it explicit, no matter the real-world impacts or historical context. which is to say: willfully stupid.

This is an absolutely terrific piece from @texastribune.org and reinforces my belief that the best coverage of right-wing cancelations occur at the local level, after years of the national media focusing on threats from the left. www.texastribune.org/2025/09/19/t...

If you, like me, are the parent of a neuro-atypical child dreading this autism press conference, please remember: These are the people hurting our kids. Not us. They are the ones stigmatizing and pathologizing them. They are the ones peddling untested science. And we should be very, very angry.

Critics of renewables often point to land use as a reason not to invest in wind & solar. Land use IS a real issue for all energy assets incl renewables (unless on-site). But what critics conveniently forget is the huge land impact of fossil fuels. Aerial view of fracking sites in Wickett, Texas. 👇

ICE agents held a five-year-old citizen hostage without any cause in an attempt to detain her father, for whom they had neither warrant nor probable cause to arrest (he has an active asylum claim, meaning he's not subject to detention or deportation). This is criminal behavior.

fakakte information environment. Voters think Dems are focused on whatever Rs say they're focused on due to decades of a persuasion/media gap that's recently gotten much worse. In the short term there are exactly three options for how to fix this. Option 1, ignore the problem and hope it goes away.

Let’s hurry up and get it over with so the rest of us normal folk can live in peace.

Acetaminophen can also cause liver damage if you drink alcohol with it, so it’s good to avoid drinking if you take that drug.

Woo-hoo!!! A win for the UCLA research community! A win for science! A win for sanity! calmatters.org/education/20...

"Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that." Looking forward to seeing Jimmy back on the air.

there is a terrible, bitter irony in how the Vaccination Assistance Act of 1962—a lesser-discussed achievement of JFK that made funding available to guarantee all children could get vaccinated for polio, diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, and other diseases—is now likely to be undone by his nephew.

My mom, born in the early 40s, had polio and was bed ridden as a child and to this day she still has health issues from it.

As I understand history, the way FDR campaigned and governed was pretty consistently hammering the shit out of the opposition party. He didn’t build his coalition with olive branches to the money trusts. www.presidency.ucsb.edu/documents/ad...

The tariffs are the least popular thing Trump is doing. It's a unilateral trillion-dollar tax hike on Americans that raises prices on items they buy every day.

1) Some of my speech got negative social reactions, which felt bad 2) That’s equivalent to state repression 3) Big name elite didn’t validate my feelings (ok, they did, but not enough) 4) This entitles—nay, requires—us to overthrow democracy and do state repression for real That really is the logic

Saving America from Trump and preserving our democracy explicitly requires that people who voted for Trump change their mind. Which in turn requires that those who didn’t vote for Trump show grace and empathy to those whose change of heart came from being hurt by the guy they voted for…
