Kristi Noem calling the victim’s actions “domestic terrorism” is propaganda. Full stop. I served as a White House homeland security advisor. I know what that designation means & when it’s misused. A U.S. citizen is dead. She was a mom. This is what ICE impunity looks like. It cannot be normalized.

Five years later, January 6 still matters. Not just because of what happened—but because of what happens if we decide we’ve already heard enough. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

Not Somali.

Once when checking in at a hotel Europe the great English Romantic poet Percy Bysshe Shelley listed his occupation in Greek as “democrat, philanthropist, atheist” (δημοκράτης, φιλaνθρωπος, aθεος).

The DOJ is trying to get all your individualized voter data (including SS number, DOB, current and previous addresses, voting records, etc.) in order to intimidate and undermine elections. Please listen to this and re-post on all your social media. Email this video to you friends & family members.

Cognitively well people do not go nuts to tell people they are cognitively well.

A true sign of autocracy. Let's hail Dear Leader over Martin Luther King Jr. www.ms.now/news/trumps-...

RFK Jr: "Two weeks ago we ended, under your leadership, a twenty year war on women". Three out of five men in this shot have been accused of sexual misconduct, harassment or abusive behaviour towards women. A fourth signed into law a near-total abortion ban in his state as governor.

If you’re older than 50, feeling thirsty is a sign of mild dehydration, because as we age, the thirst signal tends to be delayed and blunted, meaning that a person can be mildly or even moderately dehydrated before they even feel thirsty in the first place. Drink your salty waters!

AI rebellion is far less scary than AI that’s “just following orders.”

I’ve been enjoying rereading my old classroom notes from a personality theory course I took in college 31 years ago:

I disagree w/ Huxley’s point, or at least feel I ought: “Rooted as they are in the facts of contemporary life, the phantasies of even a second-rate writer of modern Science Fiction are incomparably richer, bolder and stranger than the Utopian or Millennial imaginings of the past.” — Aldous Huxley

Across the country, police departments have adopted AI-driven platforms to assist with data collection and analysis. But without robust safeguards, these data fusion tools risk generating inaccurate results, perpetuating bias, and undermining individual rights. bit.ly/44nxPlx

Home invasions. Child sex crimes. Homicide. Just a couple things that some of the 1500+ January 6 defendants have been convicted of since Trump released them back onto our streets. The GOP isn't the party of law and order. They're the party of lawlessness and violence.

Nikki Haley’s son says naturalized citizens should not be able to hold public office and thinks dual citizenship should be outlawed. His grandparents are from India and his mother dropped her first name Nimarda.

A massive longitudinal metastudy of more than 300,000 people over decades found that having a few meaningful relationships is associated with a 50% higher chance of being alive years later compared to people who are socially isolated. This is an effect thats even greater than not smoking or drinking

The science fiction dystopia of the “silver tsunami”: more than 11,000 Americans are turning age 65 every single day in the United States at this point. Put another way, around 5 million Americans are going to turn 65 this year and every year through 2027.

Reels and TikToks may be bad to your cognitive and mental health. An analysis of 71 studies and 100,000 people shows that the more short-form videos both teens and adults watched, the more they struggled with attention, self-control, and even stress and anxiety.

The presidency is a side gig for Trump‘s grift.

(We live during that initial single one second of the bright universe before all the light of the universe goes out.)

Good morning! The last stars in the universe will die out in a mere 120 trillion years from now, which will then be followed by ten quattuortrigintillion years of just black holes (that’s a number that’s so large it’s a 10 with 106 zeroes after it).

MTG: “.. “I am now being contacted by private security firms with warnings for my safety as a hot bed of threats against me are being fueled and egged on by the most powerful man in the world. .. The man I supported and helped get elected.” @mediaite.com #GA14 www.mediaite.com/media/news/m...

How much of a moron do you have to be to STILL, after all the shit that has gone down, remain an enthusiastic shill for this obviously incompetent con man.

Kristi Noem, while governor of South Dakota, supplemented her roughly $130,000 salary by secretly accepting $80,000 donated to a political nonprofit she was affiliated with, records show. She never disclosed this income on federal ethics forms. (Published June)

“A federal agent shot and wounded a motorist in Chicago on Saturday morning, according to federal officials, touching off more protests in the city as tensions rose over the Trump administration’s threat to send troops there.” www.nytimes.com/2025/10/04/u...

When a president sends troops into American cities to “restore order,” what he’s really doing is testing obedience. Portland and Chicago aren’t war zones…they’re warning shots. Authoritarians don’t announce takeovers. They practice them. One city at a time. However, each practice destroys families.

The obscene face of Christian Nationalism: outlandish untaxed wealth in defiance of Jesus. Oh, and this time, slave laborers, too! Glory! Just remember, for any money you give to Heaven, there is always a 100% handling fee here on Earth.

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

Comer: "We care about the people that are gonna lose -- ah, that could potentially lose healthcare. But there are people that can't afford healthcare. We've gotta get people off Medicaid and into the workforce and into private healthcare."

“Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth considered sending an elite U.S. Army strike force to Portland, Ore., to quell protests that President Donald Trump has characterized as ‘lawless mayhem,’ according to images of messages provided to the Minnesota Star Tribune.”

“Of all crimes that human creatures are capable of committing, the most horrid and unnatural is ingratitude.” — David Hume

Tylenol use is safe in pregnancy, lowest effective dose. Don’t listen to the utter nonsense emanating from the highest office in the land today. Speak to your medical provider.

Imagine being under daily 🇷🇺 terror attacks and then respond like this👇🏻 Putin won’t control Kharkiv EVER!

Do you know your constitutional rights? Why not? (Do you know the “Five Freedoms” guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution, by the First Amendment, even for illegal immigrants? Why not?)

Secretary of Homeland Security on racial profiling by ICE: “That is not true… Don’t you dare ever say that again.” Who the f*ck does Kristi Noem think she is, addressing a legitimate question like that? It is true. Tom Homan admitted it. Noem is a liar.

Thank you for EVERYTHING, @pbs.org ✨ We love you, we will never give up on you!The support from viewers like us for you is eternal! Public media teaches us kindness, teaches us to enjoy learning, teaches us that we all belong. PBS is my reason to stay. PBS, always and forever ❤️‍🩹💙🩵💚

The EPA said it would eliminate its scientific research arm and begin firing hundreds of scientists, after denying that it was going to.

(Also fascinating: Gay men earn less than straight men on average, despite having higher levels of education; lesbians earn more than straight women, despite having lower levels of education.)

52% of gay men in the U.S. get college degrees, but only 36% of straight men and 45% of straight women do, and an even smaller percentage of lesbians do (at just 25%). Wonder why.

the head of fema finally rolled out of bed, grabbed a shirt off the floor, and showed up in texas

Now THAT's a cease and desist letter

Firing everyone who could tell you what you're doing is unethical or illegal does not make what you're doing ethical or legal.

(If you need god to be good, you’re not good. Ethics precedes religion.)

Goebbels would have won WWII for Hitler if they had podcast bros back then.
