Is now where I say that I don't believe in doxxing people but I've started collecting screen grabs of agents when people video tape abductions so they can be held legally accountable when the legal reckoning happens? I do not post them online.

"Fifty-three percent of Democratic voters said they preferred politicians described as similar to Sanders, Ocasio-Cortez and Mamdani, while 33 percent favored those similar to Schumer, Jeffries and Pelosi. Fourteen percent didn’t choose."

Check out the chyron -- they are shilling their merch store during a funeral. The sheer vulgarity of these petty-hucksters-gone-big is wild to me. Government by fashy used car salesmen, I swear to God. It will never ever not be fundamentally strange to me that their own base find this appealing.

I’m honestly not sure what we can do except the obvious. I do think this person should be forced to answer for this, and immediately. Dems should be demanding this man answer questions immediately. His name should be known, since he had to have signed off on them. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alvin_H...

I just want to note that the link between Tylenol and autism is... not there. You shouldn't take tylenol willy nilly whether you're pregnant or not , it's not great for your liver but that's a separate convo.

Remember, Trump can order prosecutions of political opponents—even unlawful ones—thanks to the Supreme Court. “He could use the DOJ to obstruct justice. He could use the DOJ as leverage for extortion.” He could order the fabrication of evidence.

When I published this story after the first of now 4 incidents of Trump using the US military to kill boatloads of people, I didn't want to use video of the attack for the image, stills from a snuff film. Instead, I went with a Coast Guard interdiction from summer, what this normally looks like.

I really loved working with @mattnegrin.bsky.social on this one

the Brazilian right is attempting to pass measures through the legislature to shield Bolsonaro and other legislators from the legal consequences of the failed coup, for which Bolsonaro was recently sentenced to 27 years. these photos are of the massive protests in response.

Yup. It’s not about winning over republicans; it’s about defeating the left

I've been trying to understand why this isn't generating as much fury as it should, and i think it's because there is a fundamental belief among many americans that the military can pretty much do whatever (which isn't entirely inaccurate.) that said, what the actual fuck.

Not a criticism: history will only remember this if we force it to.

I would always rather be us than them, every fucking day, no matter how angry or scared I get trading our humanity for the feeble hope that proximity to power will protect us is not fucking worth it we all die as we live and their picture of what "success" looks like is truly so fucking bleak

Restricting H1-Bs and tariffing solar panels are, in particular, so comically stupid that when you hear them you should find an economist to give a hug.

Dua Lipa fired her manager David Levy after learning he signed a letter urging Glastonbury Festival to ban pro-Palestinian rap group Kneecap.

Smol bear week?

Apparently she told their 3 year old daughter that Charlie is on a work trip with Jesus to afford the toddler’s blueberry habit and there are at minimum four levels of fucked in how she handled that

This number is from mid-July. So before the national guard was deployed - I doubt they've helped things*. Turns out firing that many people all at once in a city is bad for the city. *originally wrote hurt things because my brain doesn't work anymore since I've deprived it of caffeine.

What ICE is doing in Broadview is really fucked up.

NEW: Air Force jets are doing ICE flights to Africa with transponders turned off, making them nearly un-trackable. This includes the third-country removal to Ghana and another secret flight. We figured out where it landed. From me for @rollingstone.com: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Almost inevitably, a white liberal pundit who finds a way to “hear out” or “find commonalities” with white supremacists eventually starts saying depraved shit. I need to understand why that’s not the last strike for white people that it is for Black political observers.

just saw a tiktok from a disney adult reading from On Tyranny and asking their followers to cancel their d+ and disney trips omg

Apparently the rapture is happening on Wednesday and now I'm like should I even bother folding my laundry if I'm going to be fighting to avoid eternal damnation on Thursday?

Another thing about Lindsey Halligan is that she has never prosecuted a case

Earlier this year, ProPublica found that the sepsis rate in second-trimester pregnancy loss hospitalizations increased by more than 50% under Texas’ abortion ban. Here’s how we did our analysis. (Published Feb. 2025)

NEW: In a break from decades of history, the Trump administration has started detaining virtually everyone facing deportation — even if they’ve lived in the U.S. for decades. Dozens of judges, with increasing alarm, have ruled the policy shift illegal. www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

I hate that I don't know which bribe this is referencing

There’s so much happening right now, I thought I’d put together a running thread on the dismantling of #climate and research and knowledge infrastructure in the United States 🧵

Alt: WSJ article with the headline: TRump Administration cancels annual hunger survey Subhed: the government has been measuring food insecurity since the mid-1990s, but now says the report has become overly political

This is a ten minute video broken up into parts for Bluesky from two australian doctors who made it into Gaza. The video starts with them saying the baby formula they brought with them was taken away and that Israel bombing the hospital in front of them and lying about giving warnings

companies make it difficult or impossible to disable ai in their products because it is an authoritarian project made from a stack of consent violations in a trenchcoat they don't give you a checkbox for "i don't want this and will never use it" because they know many people would check that box

I grew up in NYC and we were forced to take square dancing too 😭

I’ve seen a lot of trans folks get outraged at Kamala Harris over this news article A brief thread on why I would really suggest *reading* the outrage bait posted about our community by major media platforms before hitting “post” on social media Here we go… 🧵

Absolutely shattering details in this Sun-Times piece chicago.suntimes.com/news/2025/09...

The chapter of A Fever in the Heartland where Egan chronicles how Notre Dame solidified the nickname of "The Fighting Irish" by delivering an absolute beat down of Klan members was satisfying.

In my one fox business appearance, Kennedy tried to “gotcha” me by saying cars kill people and we don’t ban them … I responded as you might expect (license, liability, etc) and she changed the subject.

I think it's interesting to frame this as his beliefs (kirk's ideology) and not how he choose to act on those beliefs.

TIL that Kash Patel is from Garden City and that explains so much.
