Really? I'm guessing they didn't ask the South Koreans rounded up by ICE for...doing business in Georgia. www.wabe.org/magazine-ran...

Moms to Trump: Talk to me about "toughing it out" once you've carried a complicated pregnancy to term, then gone through labor and postpartum. Have fun with that. Not so bad, is it?

the most important thing to remember when you see eugenicists who don’t believe that autistic people should exist rambling about “the autism epidemic” is not that they’re wrong about the “cause” (although they are absolutely wrong about it); it’s that they are eugenicists

There is no basis in law for designating domestic terrorist organizations. Period. Trump can try to intimidate Americans, but no one should act like he has powers that he simply doesn’t have. This order is just a Truth Social post with bigger words.

THE DAILY: President Trump and his inner circle are making millions of $$ from agreements that intersect with America’s national security interests, a NYT investigation found. Eric Lipton explains why these conflicts of interest are unlike anything we’ve seen before www.nytimes.com/2025/09/24/p...

So much money saved!

Jarrard Gap Trail and Lake Winfield Scott, north GA. Today.

A time series for London, but a similar pattern everywhere. Measles vaccine in UK: 1968. MMR in UK: 1988. You can see the impact of each, because MMR boosts uptake enormously. Most of the lives saved by MMR are from measles. Reversing this will - predictably - kill a large number of children.

Don't forget that Trump and his allies wanted to be able to blame January 6 on "Antifa" -- but allowing time to pass for an investigation to show that was not the case made it hard for that claim to get traction. Seems like they aren't going to make that mistake this time

When I was placed on the Professor Watchlist in 2021, people sent death threats about my children. I had security officers monitor my 8yo at school. Where is all the outrage for those of us who have been targeted for years? Where is the outrage for our families? My own colleagues are silent.

Some personal news: I've been fired from the Washington Post in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk shooting. Thread incoming. substack.com/@karenattiah...

Amen. North Carolina is doing the same thing. We got COVID and flu vax, free of charge, no prescription, no hassle. And we are Georgia residents. Shame on Georgia. And Bravo to state leaders who are stepping up to protect us when our own leadership fails.

I wish I could bottle the love for Stephen Colbert at the #Emmys tonight & use it to replace MAGA’s Kool-Aid

Coming up tonight US and tomorrow morning Japan time.

"Smart People Don't Like Me": An Analysis of Right-Wing Grievance Politics (2026)

Last year: Austin Peay State University learns prof is Nazi who went to Charlottesville rally. Admin drags heels, pays him $56k severance to leave This week: APSU prof posts screenshot of headline - Charlie Kirk Says Gun Deaths ‘Unfortunately’ Worth it to Keep 2nd Amendment- & is immediately fired

With each passing day, the US is becoming more and more a traditional fascist dictatorship.

these accounts are awful -- no translators provided, no miranda rights read, handcuffs and shackles, moldy beds, women suffering through menstruation without adequate supplies -- and have already done incalculable damage to perceptions of the US in Seoul

These firings, with zero due process, are violations of widely accepted principles of academic freedom & are completely unacceptable. College & university administrators MUST NOT exploit these shocking events to censor protected speech & concentrate their own power. www.wsmv.com/2025/09/12/t...

Meanwhile in Korean media there is clarity that Trump directed this raid out of spite following his Oval Office meeting with the ROK President, who pushed back aggressively on Trump's praise for the North Korean dictator. They're right. US media have no clue of what's going on.

GA Folks: If you’re trying to squeeze in a COVID vax before Bobby Brainworm does further harm to our health care ecosystem, NC doesn’t require Rx. I never thought we’d have to resort to back-alley vaccinations but I guess this is the hellscape we’re living in.

The woman who reported the Korean Hyundai workers in Georgia to CBP/ICE is a Republican running for Congress named Tori Branum who imagines that in doing so, she’s “saving their lives in the long run.”

It should be way bigger news that Trump effectively killed any attempt by foreign countries to build new factories in the United States with this idiotic ICE move. Just incalculable long term damage. Trump just killed his "build America" push www.wsj.com/world/asia/c...

korean reporting is nightmarish on the conditions Korean workers were contained in

A probably better analysis by Joan Donovan, who knows a great deal about technology, gaming, memes, & the alt-right. The @nytimes.com should avail itself of experts on Fuentes & his followers. So should others: @cnn.com @msnbc.com @velshimsnbc.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=aKsT...

In which Jack Healy & Orlando Mayorquín of the @nytimes.com reveal that they do not know much about gaming culture, the alt-right, & their memes. Instead, they mostly accepted the UT gov's questionable ideas. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/14/u...

Hi ICE killed a single dad at a traffic stop here on Friday Today they are disappearing people again in broad daylight, they are everywhere If you have any national platform at all Chicago is fucking begging you, please help us

Looked at my data collections for state-backed activity. If the report were a picture:

Report Says Colorado School Shooting Suspect Was Fascinated with Mass Shootings, White Supremacy and Neo-Nazi Views | Since December, Desmond Holly, 16, had been active on an online forum where users watch videos of killings and violence, mixed in with content on white supremacism and antisemitism.

I have written and deleted a lot of posts but I keep thinking about how the brutal assassination of Minnesota State senator Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark, and their beloved dog Gilbert in June did not prompt this same level of calls for empathy, sympathy, and flags at half-mast.

This is a fascist government in action.

America has officially entered its Dark Ages. God help us all—because there's no longer any reason to believe Congress or the courts or media will. We have lost our way to a degree I never thought possible, and I am not going to pretend to have any answers about how we find our way back. We may not.

And I can only see haniwa @paularcurtis.bsky.social

Judith Butler: "It is important to refuse the notion that this is just how things are right now, invoking a feckless realpolitik that justifies complicity with a brutal and rising authoritarianism."

An Iowa official defied the governor’s orders to fly flags at half-staff for Charlie Kirk, writing he wouldn't honor a man who "did so much harm"

Ran into a friend today while out walking.

RFK Jr. and the Trump administration are preparing to do exactly what many of us feared they would. Next week, they are planning to present data that have been misused or manipulated to make it *appear* that COVID19 vaccines caused the deaths of 25 children.

My guess is that his threat to prosecute feds who violate the rights of Chicagoans did it. Every D governor and AG should be making the same promise.

A man in South Korea displays a literal and metaphorical sign of the growing global backlash to Trump's anti-immigrant crusade.

An antisemite shot two kids in Colorado, at least one of whom is Jewish. The White House “fighting antisemitism” doesn’t care, because the shooter was a student radicalized online into far right beliefs, which the regime is cool with, rather than a student verbally criticizing Israeli govt policy.

no way is the suspect a white kid no way he's christian NO WAY HE LIVES WITH HIS PARENTS, broooooo

Wait: it wasn’t enough when a day laborer died on the 210 while fleeing on foot from an ICE raid? Or when a farm worker died in Camarillo after falling off a roof where he’d taken refuge? Only *now* is “enough”?

MAGA 3 days ago: Chicago is about to find out the meaning of WAR MAGA today: the left needs to stop condoning violence

God, this is so embarrassing.
