The perfect photo to challenge narratives of progress.

Hundreds of thousands of people, dead because of a decision made by the world's richest man

he’s saying exactly what we’ve been saying, he’s absolutely right, and any colleagues of his should listen to him every part of the country that could just told Donald Trump to go to hell and we demand our elected representatives follow suit

The dysregulated immune system in #LongCovid with #MECFS. with sex-specific changes, increased inflammation (as seen by cells, chemokines and cytokines), and disrupted hormone levels www.cell.com/cell-reports...

Because, in the street, the fascist intimidation comes from their violence. But in court, it comes from DOJ demanding punishment for the slightest offense against them. We are fortunate that local judges have denied this oppression so far and still embrace the rule of law. bsky.app/profile/atru...

so this is highly incentive based and relies on Tesla hitting ridiculous thresholds to vest lots of it which means we are about to see exciting new frontiers in fraud and bullshit

Tesla shareholders approved Elon Musk's $1 trillion pay package. Meanwhile, millions of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, can't afford to feed their families, and struggle with cuts to the safety net made to finance tax cuts for the super-rich. American capitalism is off the rails.

But he's still clear that we're not going to re-open the government with an agreement to keep heath care affordable because many of them could be from prisons after they were convicted of 34 felonies for fraud or something. bsky.app/profile/atru...

The good thing is Trump will have expanded capacity to handle them all.

It's as though the corrupt would fund campaigns and solicit open bribes to save themselves. bsky.app/profile/ronf...

They're going even more fascist. bsky.app/profile/apne...

Once again, SCOTUS undermines the rule of law, its own legitimacy, and the lower federal courts with a 'back of the napkin' explanation that doesn't even bother to analyze the issue under the standards for staying an injunction—all to enable a bigoted attack on a targeted group.

Wow, imagine owning a newspaper just to use it as an avenue for influencing public opinion. bsky.app/profile/gbbr...

This goes so far beyond creepy. “‘Rest easy, king,’ read the final message sent to his phone. ‘You did good.’”

This is brilliant

The Supreme Court's decision to let the Trump White House implement its anti-trans passport policy is vile, and I appreciate Jackson going out of her way to include in her dissent, for the record, the administration's language justifying the policy. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

SKDK partner is Anita Dunn. Chief of staff for Biden.

Ivy Leaguers: stop trying to reinvent racism. Challenge level: impossible.

When Trump talks about Democrats making Puerto Rico a state as if it's a self evidently outrageous move, we know what he means.

Friends, Trump is gone. Listen to this. It's incredible that there is no national discourse about whether he can continue to do the job.

The goddamn nerve of Jeff Bezos' newspaper to talk shit about raising the minimum wage at a moment when workers at Jeff Bezos' online superstore -- who are paid so little half of them in one study were on SNAP benefits -- are going hungry. The fucking arrogance.

We’re up to 124 wins - including 35!!!! red to blue flips — and 9 more going to run offs. We still have 37 races left outstanding, but far and away the best election night @runforsomething.net has ever had.

I’m interested in hearing from the MAGA pastors about Trump’s statement tonight that he wants to refuse to release emergency funds set aside to feed the poor despite a court order because the govt needs to “remain liquid” in case he needs that money to fight a war.

at some point they are going to just stop the live events i mean jfc

40 billion to Argentina. 40 billion.

Everyone understands that starving people is the point, right? Along with increasing crime so you can apply more military authoritarianism. Both of which serve the concentrated capital interests behind fascism. bsky.app/profile/atru...

"The evidence shows that people will go hungry." A US judge ordered the Trump admin to fully cover the cost of food-aid benefits for more than 42 million eligible Americans this month, finding US officials' plan to partially fund the program failed to comply with his earlier order buff.ly/ZlyIjmB

Billionaire Marc Rowan wrote Trump's "Academic Compact" loyalty oath in order to, in his words, destroy universities the way seen in Europe in the 30's and 40's. His private equity firm Apollo also owns the University of Phoenix, the country's biggest creator of student debt.

Sandwich Guy thanks everyone for their support, “emotional, spiritual, artistic or financial.” Intones, “Let us not forget that the great seal of the United States says…‘ out of many, one.’…You all have a right to live a life that is free.”

Meet the 37 private donors for Trump’s ballroom—many of whom have ongoing governmental contracts or regulatory cases. It sure looks like their multi-million dollar donations are a way to curry favor.

Not enough people are talking about this: Even before Trump cut off SNAP funding, he and Republicans in Congress made the biggest cuts to food assistance in U.S. history.

I've been covering elections since 1982 and never seen a whupping quite like Tuesday, with Democrats winning everything everywhere from Manhattan to Mississippi The question now: Does a cornered, wounded Trump double down on dictatorship? My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/demo...

It's important that everyone understand that Ross Douthat has never done anything *except* write slimy op-eds trying to smuggle far-right ideas into the mainstream. From college on. He's never had a real job. He has no skills, no expertise, nothing that would justify his position at the NYT.

best part of this is how elon musk's definition of "swindler" is also the most concise possible summary of how he became a billionaire

Police in Germany are investigating the appearance of swastikas painted with human blood and smeared on dozens of cars, some mailboxes and building facades in the central town of Hanau, German authories say.

Call me old-fashioned, but shouldn't it be a news story when the president is posting AI videos of himself (without disclosure) talking about *nuclear weapons*? truthsocial.com/@realDonaldT...

Axel Springer staffers confronted chief Mathias Döpfner over the publishing giant’s rapid embrace of A.I., which many fear could cost them their jobs, according to a video of the meeting leaked to Status. Details in @status.news: www.status.news/p/axel-sprin...

Jackson says the decision is "more than merely regrettable. It is an abdication of the Court's duty to ensure that equitable standards apply equally to all litigants—to transgender people and the Government alike." And she faults the majority for ignoring "the animus evident in the Executive Order."

What a line from @nytimes.com coverage of #COP30: With the US absent — and not there to get countries “to abandon their plans to phase out fossil fuels, the thinking goes, the talks could go rather smoothly this year.” 🤡 www.nytimes.com/2025/11/06/c...

What this order makes clear is that plaintiffs can collect a mountain of animus, the district court can write extensively about the record, and the Supreme Court will just go “nuh uh.”

"According to documents obtained by FOIAball, the Ole Miss-Georgia matchup was one of at least two games last year where the school used a Department of Homeland Security information-sharing platform to keep a watchful eye on attendees." Crazy reporting from @foiaball.com:

This fight isn't over. Our case challenging President Trump's executive order will still move forward. In the meantime anyone who applies for a new, corrected, or replacement passport, or for a passport renewal, is at risk of having their passport issued bearing the sex they were assigned at birth.

SCOTUS has granted a stay in Trump v. Orr, the trans passport case, meaning that the government will be able to once again deny gender marker changes to trans passport applicants. This is a terrible decision with horrifying consequences for trans folks. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

I had a run in with ICE snatching a man out of his car while walking my children to school this morning in NW DC I asked a neighbor to continue walking my kids to school and I turned back to document and confront the ICE agents. I am in contact with @dcmigrantmutualaid.org with the full video.

This sentence ranks right up there with language from Bowers and Plessy for combining cruelty and callousness.

BREAKING: Jury acquits D.C. 'sandwich guy' charged with chucking a sub at a federal agent. Sean Dunn faced a misdemeanor after federal grand jurors refused to indict him on the felony charge sought by Trump's DOJ. Hilarious: "The jury feasted on sandwiches for lunch before delivering the verdict."😅

Forcing voters to the polls where blue cities can't support them all while red state rural voters are fully serviced. And their gestapo poll watchers abound. bsky.app/profile/atru...

A May 2025 presentation by its (Meta's) safety staff estimated that the company’s platforms were involved in a third of all successful scams in the U.S. (Think about who these scams target - the sick, homebound elderly)
