There were literally congressional hearings where whistleblowers in the insurance industry cried while discussing being forced by superiors to repeatedly illegally deny payment for lifesaving care in the run up to the passage of the ACA. That’s what republicans want us to return to.

we do not have enough talent to preemptively throw half of it in the trash.

But I need your help to do it. With defending this case on top of running a campaign, your support matters more than ever. katforillinois.com/legal

oh my fucking god we're so back

Liberation theology now!

If we don't push her hard from the left, she'll be able to hide behind Stefanik.

The rift between the hardcore-eugenicist/Nazi esoterica enthusiast "Indo-European *belch* Brahmin *wet fart*" and the gutter racist "my hallway smells like [slur] food fuck them [slur]s" would be funny if they weren't wrestling for the nuclear codes.

If he gives a shit about the country, he'll pick a better candidate to support and throw his weight behind them. If.

Oh yeah

Breaking my finger from tapping the sign too hard.

they finally had to roll it back lol

Here's your chance to do something about the people being starved and beaten in Broadview ICE custody. Share this post, and I'll donate $1 to the Midwest Immigration Bond Fund (www.mibfc.org). And if you make a donation to them, let me know how much and I'll match it 1:1.

"Small newsrooms don’t have to compete. When similar operations launched in Chicago in September, we partnered with Block Club Chicago. Our cities could learn from each other’s coverage and safety strategies." "We’re sharing everything we develop. Not out of generosity — out of necessity."

Kevin Kiley introducing a bill to ban partisan gerrymandering at the national level and desperately trying to become a Reasonable Bipartisan after Newsom deleted his district shows how you *acutally* uphold norms btw: you impost costs for breaking them

"Earlier this year, the account largely posted a mix of real but stolen videos[...] and absurd AI-generated videos such as jacked men carrying whales" "[It] started experimenting with extremely crude AI-generated deportation videos in February" "Recent videos are far more realistic."

From a longer 🧵... this is pretty dismal. Is Taiwan's leadership just saying whatever they think Trump wants to hear?

Re-upping my Epstein essay from August as new information emerges today. Caution: disturbing descriptions of my and others’ sexual assaults. Release all the damn files. This is the ultimate test of this nation’s useless partisanship.

There's a lot of publications doing amazing work, I will add. I don't know if this has to be a business opportunity so much as channelling people's frustrations toward sustaining existing publications!

Beth Hapworth, 38, who needs clear and direct communication from others in order to avoid misunderstandings, has reportedly become an expert in dancing around, pussyfooting and eggshell-treading.

Especially if it’s saying things you agree with. Of course it’s saying some things you’ll agree with, that’s how propaganda works.

weird that I and hundrededs of thousands maybe more will have healthcare next year bc of mcbride and that doesnt factor into so many of y’all’s impressions of her [person whos literally never been poor enough to be on Medicaid and always downplays income voice]: what has mcbride ever done for us???

(unironic ooh'ing and aah'ing)

If this is what they are doing with the AI, what do you think they are doing with the much simpler and easier to control algorithm that chooses which posts you see and which of your posts are seen by others?

It's insane how misunderstood this is, especially in the United States, which has fought and won not one but two extremely famous wars in rejection of the idea that states have rights that supersede those of their citizens.

@pfrazee.com, we really need @bsky.app to let us know why Sarah Kendzior's account was suspended and if there was a good reason—or any reason at all. Transparency is important with such high profile suspensions (but also, everyone should be informed about why they get suspended).

Look, I'm not necessarily saying that Predator: Badlands is the BEST movie of 2025... But it's certainly the film I've enjoyed most so far this year.

It's wild how hard software companies try to structure themselves to avoid this reality, though. Entire job ladders designed to insulate/isolate the software engineers from human beings.

I wrote a piece a few weeks ago claiming antisemitism was on the verge of going mainstream. It was clear to me that most people had trouble buying it. That's understandable. But it's happening. Example: Conservatives themselves are now saying that 30 to 40% of Zoomers in Washington are Groypers.

Ayyyyyyyyy!

Oh nooooooo 🤣

spoke with the executive director of my local food bank today and got this really incredible line: "if you donate 1 can of green beans, we can give away 1 can of green beans. but if you donate a dollar, we can give away 6 cans of green beans"

What's Klingon for "Tell 'em, Coach"?

This is a LIE. To whoever it is running the socials for Teen Vogue: you've done great work over the past few years, but the ship is sinking. FIND A NEW JOB.

Just moments ago, detainees transported from ICE’s Broadview facility this morning were loaded onto an Avelo Airlines plane in Gary, Indiana.

Joyce Carol Oates sitting across a desk from Kendrick Lamar: "So I'm putting a team together..." Isaac Chotiner knocks on the open door.

Oh, this is *exciting*.

this has to be the single greatest image in the history of sports

We built a team of young Black, Asian, queer, and trans staffers at Teen Vogue, and they deserve the world. They are passionate, whip smart, and incredibly talented. Many of them are now without jobs — please consider donating to their GoFundMe: www.gofundme.com/f/help-laido...

I still have not processed what I just read.

Hoo boy, we've got ourselves a race. Check your votes, Seattle friends.

Many are calling for Chuck Schumer's resignation. What hasn't been reported until now is that any Senate Democrat can offer a motion to challenge his leadership position, and it would have to get a vote within 7 days. From @whitneycwimbish.bsky.social: prospect.org/2025/11/11/o...
