It's also unpleasant for me to say there are these people and they have names and they are doing and saying awful things. But I do it anyway because someone has to!

The sign outside the protein powder store near my place in Dallas that says "DELTA 9 GUMMIES FREE SAMPLES" is the Come And Take It flag of our time

Does anyone remember what the titans of industry did in Germany and Italy a little over a century ago

I am not a Biblical scholar but I do recall there being some bits in there about it being bad to seek to consult with the dead www.dallasobserver.com/news/ai-char...

tfw the predicted rapture doesn't happen

These Project 2025 videos were intended to train a second Trump administration’s political appointees "to be ready on day one." Last August, ProPublica & @documented.net obtained 14 hours of the videos, which covered everything from passing new regulations to rooting out left-wing language:

Among the reasons that this makes me mad is that I have to care about talk show hosts at all

22-year-old Ward Sakeik, a Palestinian woman who has lived in Texas since she was 9, says her experience in federal detainment could only be identified as “human trafficking.” And she’s not staying quiet about the women she was forced to leave behind. thebarbedwire.com/2025/09/22/w...

It's too much liquid

Just on a basic level, the New Deal coalition was emphatically not built on handing it to Hoover on a couple hot button issues.

You can tell the difference between the idle chatters and the true believers because only the real heads will allow you to take all of their worldly possessions in preparation

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...

This is exactly backwards. From the beginning, Kirk was the beneficiary of a large and highly organized network of dark money donors who were looking for a spokesman. No way he would have done what he did without patrons like Montgomery and Uihlein. Kirk didn't make money - money made Kirk.

I cited this research in a post for @americandoom.bsky.social a few months ago. There is hope for victory. But it requires deliberate and persistent action, as well as going through some tough times. www.american-doom.com/p/autocratiz...

In 2020, while reporting on a protest for a local newspaper I was wrongfully arrested by officers who were masked or concealed their names/badge numbers. I had photos of two of their faces and sued, but the department refused to provide information to identify them, and the lawsuit was dismissed

FRIDAY NIGHT. BOYS NIGHT. THE BOYS ARE ON THE TOWN.

New from me: There's a lot of misinformation around the reasons I was fired from WaPo. Here's the official termination letter I got sent by Washington Post. Read and judge for yourself. open.substack.com/pub/karenatt...

This whole thread is worth reading

Which outlets would be a good fit for a personal essay about a journalist facing a well funded and coordinated effort to undermine their reporting and create a chilling effect around investigating a wealthy political donor who created a network of advocacy groups that pretend to be unrelated

New: The federal probe of Charlie Kirk’s killing has yet to find a link between Tyler Robinson & LW groups, per 3 sources familiar “Every indication so far is that this was one guy who did one really bad thing because he found Kirk’s ideology personally offensive” www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

That’s me in the video. And a Fox News host just celebrated me being assaulted by ICE. If ICE will do this to a congressional candidate with a big platform, just imagine what they’re doing to the people they’re kidnapping.

Nothing makes me feel safer than uniformed soldiers sitting in an unmarked white van outside of the subway station

If it was possible to pick up Republican voters at scale by being more moderate and representing the center of politics, we would've won 2016 & 2024, and 2020 would've been a massive blowout creating a Congressional supermajority. It doesn't work in a polarized electorate!

Polls are merely snapshots of a point in time, but the times are a-changing

Here's a situation for public records nerds: I requested images from a police department that I know exist, per a source. I did not consent to discretionary redactions. They withheld info. I appealed to the AG. The dept claimed to the AG that I consented, and the AG cited that to deny my appeal.

i’ve watched beto o’rourke do this quite a few times in different parts of texas over the years, and while it’s always ultimately turned out safe, it involves walking past a good number of people with ar-15s and never accomplishes what ezra klein seems to think it is supposed to

I can't run no more with that lawless crowd While killers in high places say their prayers out loud But they've summoned, they've summoned up a thundercloud They're gonna hear from me

It's not just the authoritarianism — it's how shameless, how *gleeful* this administration is about it

Fun fact: Texas is a one party consent state when it comes to recording conversations, which means that you can legally record any conversation of which you are a part — and can share it with a journalist, such as me

has there been a single piece of political rhetoric that has inspired more mass shootings than great replacement?

“From Twitter/X to FB to TikTok to Washington Post to CBS. Any opposition to this fascist project needs to focus, in part, on building and/or securing information infrastructure to ensure channels of dissent exist & remain available. The Dems have taken this infrastructure for granted. It’s gone.”
