New: 404 Media is suing ICE. We have filed a lawsuit demanding ICE release its $2 million contract with Paragon, a company that makes powerful spyware to break into phones and read encrypted messages. This is expensive for a small outlet but this info is important www.404media.co/were-suing-i...

This is a good explainer on the whole situation with Comey and why Trump would likely have to bring any trumped up charges against him by Sept 30.

Holy shit

Free-market reformer needs a bailout.

Three months after the state legislature ended session without passing immigration protections, 15 elected officials faced down arrest to protest ICE and state inaction. nysfocus.com/2025/09/19/l...

When CBS Canceled The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour for Criticizing the American Establishment and the Vietnam War (1969)

The WSJ speaking: "America has given up its effort to challenge China in the renewable-energy industries that increasingly power the global economy."

In the week after Trump was elected the first time, and well before he assumed office, someone at DoD published the unclassified manual for lawful airstrikes. It read as foreshadowing, a check for when those rules get changed or ignored, a document of what rules were. www.popsci.com/pentagon-tar...

EXCLU: @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social will announce today he is cancelling a televised town hall with WABC News planned for Sept. 25 in the wake of the network suspending comedian Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show last week. www.amny.com/news/mamdani...

The @washingtonpost.com story on Tylenol & autism leaves out a MAJOR 2.5M sibling-controlled study of children in Denmark, which "found no evidence that acetaminophen use during pregnancy was associated with children’s risk of autism, ADHD or intellectual disability." jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

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.

In Swedish, a word for what you eat to bridge the gap between meals (or while waiting for the main course to cook) is stödmacka. It means "support sandwich." A similar word in Norwegian is ventepølse, or "waiting sausage."

So now we’re going to have a third right wing ratfucking social media platform people won’t admit they’re addicted to but will insist they can’t get off of?

my question for ahmari: the federal reserve is subject to democratic control — congress can, whenever it chooses, alter the terms of fed independence. how and why is the unilateral authority of the president, exercised outside of rule if law, more democratic than congress’s legitimate authority?

After agents push people off the driveway again, an agent with a pepper ball gun appears on the roof of the building. “We’re trying to get you some help, I hope you can hear me,” one protester yells into a bullhorn trying to reach the man inside who was arrested earlier.

A protester who was detained for about five hours last night tells me they were slapped and called “f****t” (among other names) and were repeatedly slapped inside after being thrown to the ground/maced while being detained. They say an agent inside mentioned Broadview had deported a citizen.

Tom Homan is alleged to have committed more crimes than over half the people his thugs have jailed.

If you are an artist, your role during this time is VERY clear.

Was wondering if @lastweektonight.com would address the Kimmel stuff briefly or make it the "main story" (even though its "main stories" often involve months of prep and research). Looks like they went for it: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohPT...

By the wonderful @elongreen.bsky.social -- an incredible article about an incredible story about an incredible song. slate.com/culture/2025...

I have a much different view of Jay’s actions, specifically whether he is driven by science or political objectives. I do not think he is a principled scientist at all. He is an ideological lackey. He serves whatever master will advance his interests. open.substack.com/pub/rasmusse...

Of course some processes at NIH & in US science in general should be reformed. But uncritically presenting Jay Bhattacharya as a naive idealist rather than a hypocrite & political operative charged with NIH’s destruction is wildly divorced from reality. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/22/o...

1. It’s unethical. Really we should stop right there.

2. Every output needs double checking by a human. So what time are you actually saving? Unless you don’t care about reliable information of course.

3. Using it bypasses critical thinking. We need that more than ever.

4. And no, it’s not ‘the future’ just cos some billionaire tech bro and your boss need you to believe that to maintain power.

we have gone from a world in which we were told not to cite wikipedia because it was unreliable to a world where wikipedia might be the only reliable source left on the internet and we all owe a lot to the pedantic nerds who got us there

No need to pretend that this is about immigration anymore.

It’s like they are walking up to the bullies and saying, “I’d really rather have you stuff me in a locker than give me a wedgie.”

“Jackson, as Trump does now, falsely believed his re-election was a mandate for pursuing all of his policy preoccupations, legal and Constitutional limits be damned.” www.liberalcurrents.com/trump-must-l...

A fourth boat bombed in international waters. Total death toll now 19 What I dont get is, if these boats are "carrying fentanyl" as Trump says (they absolutely arent. Even the DEA says VZ doesnt produce fentanyl), then why not seize one and show us? www.miamiherald.com/news/nation-...

We are fast becoming a banana republic, with two standards of justice. If you oppose the leader, you go to jail just for speech. If you're a loyalist, you get immunity for your crimes. That's what happens in Iran - not the United States. This is a decision moment for America.

It’s like a watergate level scandal every six hours plus he’s just straight up bombing boats full of civilians every few days

MAGA Spokesperson: Jesus has just returned. MAGA: MAGA: MAGA Spokesperson: But he won't pledge loyalty to Trump. MAGA: MAGA: MAGA Spokesperson: So we're crucifying him again. MAGA: *thunderous applause and cacophonous cheering*

While LCRW gives live updates from the Kirk memorial, I’ll be giving updates from outside. Follow along for both (if you care lol). This sums up the energy outside — lots of trash, lots of bad merch, medical emergencies everywhere you look. Also content warning because the bigots are out in force.

There are a whole bunch of takes from tech people right now who are saying the H1B program was "abused" and I really, really want them to sit me down and explain what exactly they mean without saying something racist.

Israel killed four US citizens—three of them children—in a strike in Lebanon www.cnn.com/2025/09/21/m...

Our story about treatment delays and life-threatening incidents in ICE facilities is cited by ~30 US senators in a letter to Noem, urging her to "cease detaining pregnant, postpartum, and nursing women absent exceptional circumstances." www.cantwell.senate.gov/imo/media/do...

Ignoring a problem doesn’t solve it—that’s common sense. One in eight Virginians goes hungry. Where’s the sense in that? Trump cut a billion dollars in food aid, and Rob Wittman supported it. That makes no sense. The only sense left is to fire Rob Wittman.

i can promise you, in a million years you wouldn’t be able to guess what this is in response to

Just because it wasn’t funny doesn’t mean I wasn’t joking
