I am a student at Brown in communication with a friend at RIBC. There is an urgent need for blood donations to support RI. Donations in NY, NJ, MN, NB, DE or NJ can help supply RI. Spread the word. www.ribc.org/donate-blood/

No cherry-picking. No party filter. Just receipts. And a lot of powerful men are terrified right now. KASIE HUNT: “Do you have pictures of people engaged in sexual acts as part of this?” REP. SUBRAMANYAM: “Yes, there are people engaged in sexual acts.” @repsuhas.bsky.social

Not easy to get to sleep tonight - have burnt the bridge of whatever career I had left and really don’t feel that my opinions are so extreme that that should have been necessary

My position on taking action. And on the important space between everything and nothing.

Trump's approval ratings are tanking. He's flailing on the economy. Epstein haunts him. Republicans are beginning to revolt against him. He's not all powerful. A tyrant can exercise tyranny only insofar as the objects of his tyranny continue to allow it. Remember this.

Reminder that the Supreme Court is entirely illegitimate and serious structural reform is a requirement for the survival of our democracy

It is important to promise, now, that whatever Trump builds at the White House will be torn down as soon as he leaves. www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/if-he-buil...

Prison for Bovino and friends is the moderate position.

Brutal but effective public health messaging from New York Public Health. The CDC is compromised. They’re no longer a reliable source of information. They push anti-vaxx & anti-science grift. Get your vaccines. Wear a respirator. Clean the air Get public health advice from experts, not RFK Jr

Third photo. Epstein has a framed photo on his desk of what appears to be a passed-out girl on a couch. Torch everyone associated with him.

To the New York Times, a constitutional provision is just something that's "traditional."

Trump appears 4 times in newly released Epstein photos released by House Democrats. Here they are. www.cnn.com/2025/12/12/p...

US citizens, here's a speed-run for calling your reps. YES to: * Stronger sanctions on russia (S.1241, HR 2548, HR 4346) * Designating russia a state sponsor of terrorism (S.2978, HR 5797) * Seizing russian assets for Ukraine (S.2918, HR 5835) And NO to US exiting NATO (S.2174, HR 6508)

The AP, like the rest of our "serious" news media, continues to disgrace itself

American Can't. O.

Thread:

Books about “Asian wife sharing.” Detailed descriptions of orgies. Scenes involving “ladyboys.” That’s what @dfriedman.bsky.social discovered on a Goodreads page tied to the email address of a top Pentagon official and mentor to Pete Hegseth. What came next was even wilder.

Another item to call you Senators and Representative about. Congress must reject the ruscist NSS

The titular wokeness being rolled back is the Civil Rights Act of 1964

It’s striking how many of the most mundane features of American democracy, built centuries ago to protect against remembered tyrants from centuries prior, are still the bulwark against Trumpian fascism, while all the newfangled modern institutions simply collapsed on first contact with him

On international day to recognise the victims of genocide, I’m resharing my story from last month about how Russia’s child abduction programme & alleged war crimes near the hallmarks of genocidal violence www.opendemocracy.net/en/ukraine-r...

"As He died to make men holy, let us die to make men free," goes harder than any Civil War song has any right to go.

my ideal presidential candidate in 2028 could be described, loosely, as "general sherman but for the supreme court"

SO! It’s been a gobsmackingly horrible couple of years for a lot of us, a real record-breaker, truly. Let this be your semi-regular reminder that *you* always have the capacity and agency to alleviate some of that feeling in others. Reach out a hand! Say something kind! It’s powerful stuff.

"Needy Amin" still ranks among the banger nicknames for Trump.

our bluesky safety manager replied with this to a woman venting after ICE kidnapped her husband, and then banned her. How do we trust this person to have the empathy needed to be in charge of safety on this website? what the fuck? if we spam the feedback, it might get somewhere @safety.bsky.app

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel, Disney Animated or Pixar.

“It’s a moral crusade so new, and so daring, that it doesn’t have a name, not yet. But the almost spontaneous spark of grassroots resistance to the Trump regime’s roving immigration raids targeting their brown-skinned neighbors is starting to sound historic echoes.” Here’s hoping.

when you realize you're looking at ai

Of course it does, it was written in russia

As I told @cnn.com, there's nothing to justify any of the lethal maritime strikes. There's no armed conflict. The administration has engaged in very real killing in a make-believe armed conflict. And even in the admin's legal fantasy land, attacking the shipwrecked would be a war crime.

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars. OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

Somebody needs to convince these billionaire tech bros that paying their taxes is in fact the happy ending for them

“dishonorable.” Needs to go on dudes’ tombstones.

Every single time, the worst Democrat is still worth electing over the best Republican. It’s about numbers. The majority in committees, subpoena power, hearings, deciding what comes to the floor and more. Even Senator John Fetterman or Rep Jared Golden would help make those things possible. 6/

We will never, ever restore a constitutional democracy unless we burn SCOTUS to the ground. First day Dems have the trifecta, it’s gotta be end filibuster, approve a slate of 12+ additional judges — no hearings, just vote — and then 3) start building a New Republic. Otherwise what’s the damn point?

The enemy is always aristocracy. It changes shape to fit whatever society we’re in, but the desire for it is endemic for certain types of people. You must learn to hate it as much as it hates you.

These are good moments to remember that the CEOs of all the biggest companies in America are happy to go to White House dinners and slap this guy’s back. They do not care about this. Remember this, years from now, when they want you to forget.

It's not just about leave but about what we are producing when we are working, says Toss Grumley.
