Just reactivated this account after a few weeks off. At first I had FOMO. Now I'm afraid this is just too much information 🫣

Where are so many news outlets willing to overlook these facts?

aaannd that's why I downloaded a copy apparently the day after on 9/11. If anyone needs it hit me up!

Is there a way to create different lists or channels? I'd like to tune in to different convos like topics. esp of folks I didn't discover myself. I get confused joining these blindly because my feed is filled with folks I didn't select via direct influence. Dont have time to review all

At the beginning of the pandemic, a guy tried to crash a hijacked train into a boat because he thought all of the Pizzagate babies were in there. One of dozens of things from that year that went basically uncovered outside of my beat.

If I could distill everything into one ubiquitous sentiment to capture this moment it would be that applying linear thinking to complex systems is universally ill-advised and mal-adaptive. Trump is using arithmetic to govern a society built on calculus that was on the verge of going quantum. His

Going further down the incel/groyper rabbit hole and I need more time on this thought, but it appears that the failure of capitalism to create an environment for an increasing number of people to self actualize is coming to a head as folks find dangerous ways to fulfill basic human needs

The UN's inquiry commission has said that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza The EU and national governments must do everything they can to stop this slaughter Stop sending weapons to Israel, stop the killing, ensure that aid gets to the people who need it #StopTheGenocide

CANADA'S PERMAFROST IS EMITTING METHANE Canada permafrost warming and thawing rate is many decades ahead of projections, according to the Climate Emergency Institute. The environment continues to collapse as we revisit racial regression, a species-level embarrassment.

Age verification? This is the song that doesn't end. Yes it goes on and on my friend. Some people starting singing it not knowing what it was and they'll continue singing it forever just because ... This is the song that doesn't end. Yes it goes on and on my friend. Some people starting singing...

Pretense is the vocab word of the last few days.

Political violence is evil, killing people is evil, a country with more guns in it than people is broken, and what the government is saying about political violence right now being a primarily leftwing phenomenon is factually, statistically untrue. They are using this moment to rewrite history.

Shout out to @jamestalarico.bsky.social I really like his political message. A politics of love! Yes, please. #BeGoodOutLoud

Do not assume that everything they set out to do is inevitable. They have been successfully fought on multiple fronts, from courtroom wins that have actually stuck to city and state governments that haven't backed down, to activists in the streets organizing against their violence.

I'd like to submit "backlash" to this list.

According to tiktok, it appears that YNs (young neighborhood boys 👀) have stolen two National Guard tanks in Memphis and took them for a joy ride

All I ask of America is to keep it together long enough for us to experience Beyonce's Act iii in concert!!

Washington Post fires their last remaining Black opinion writer @karenattiah.bsky.social over the most benign comments in the aftermath of Charlie Kirk's murder... Meanwhile Fox still has Brian Kilmeade who casually said all homeless people should be killed. Its all unfair & unbalanced. Wake up.

3 years? This will be up for debate Wednesday 9/17!! theintercept.com/2025/09/13/m...

Clarity

Karen was always a kind and respectful colleague yet was regularly on "thin ice" for advocating for her section, Global Opinions, and for a broader range of left-leaning columnists than the centrist Dems and lapsed Republicans that dominated the place.

Legacy media and cable news reduced Trump's aggression against Chicago to a question of whether troops would be sent immediately. When he said he was taking his fascist military spectacle elsewhere, those media players declared the situation over—while waves of federal agents attack our neighbors.

In this moment of toxicity, I recommend grey rocking. Live in your power to create. Those who cannot compete destroy. Let us make what is next.

Joy Reid. Karen Attiah. Gene Robinson. Jonathan Capehart. There are lots of others. Circumstances differ. But really sad to see new organizations not keeping super-talented Black staffers. The news industry spent decades talking about diversity, improved some from 2014-2020 and is now going back.

You are a guiding light Karen!! You enabled a generation of journalists to be brave and unwavering.

I'm going to focus on my news project that makes sure everyone is seen and heard and help rebuild trust in the news by reflecting the reality on the margins. Following in the long history of ethnic media in America.

I have reviewed my statements about the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Centering those who were and continue to be harmed by his actions, I stand by my analysis. His assassination has itself been turned into a loaded gun, with people he disparaged in the crosshairs. Will America survive this?

I worry when pols call segments of society animals

I've never thought there was a bad time to be honest about the fact that a horrible person is/was horrible. But after this week's whitewashing of Kirk by the media and political commentariat, it feels not just permissible but essential to fight both sentimentality and dishonesty at top volume.

I'm so grateful for Governor Hochul's support in unifying our party, her resolve in standing up to Trump, and her focus on making New York affordable. I look forward to the great work we will accomplish together. Our movement is only growing stronger. Onward to November.

This basic facility with Internet and pop culture and its impact on political life is only going to get more crucial to understand, from here on out

Somebody tried to blow up a news van in Salt Lake City

I'd be less worried if we had a robust news media system that was grounded in reality

You don’t need to assert your Fourth Amendment rights; they exist whether you announce them or not.

@joyannreid.bsky.social is asking the right question.This may be the most dangerous period.When the dog catches the car & realizes he can’t open the doors or satisfy its hunger. Now there’s rage, snarling and vicious humiliation at having exhausted itself pursuing something that has no real meaning.

I actually love this man 🥹

Violence only begets violence. Enduring change comes from building solutions, transforming minds, and cultivating what is good, in the human heart and in the world.

“None of us should celebrate political violence, because it’s a threat to all of us,” says Mehdi Hasan following the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

As I travel down this groyper/transmax/incel deep sub-sub-sub culture rabbit hole what jumps out is the role of societal rejection
