“I’m really good at this stuff. Your countries are going to hell.” To the people of the world who wonder if there are Americans who grasp how mad he is: There are. We can see it. We are working to mobilize our people to oppose him and his dangerous regime.

2/ John Yoo describes "a broad, amorphous military campaign against the illegal drug trade, which would violate American law and the Constitution." Title: A Military Campaign Against the Drug Trade Would Be Unconstitutional www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Having a little autumnal social media break in an attempt to achieve whatever this is

Please do not take medical advice from Donald Trump or RFK Jr.

Yes. This.

Trump Always Chickens Out. Donald Trump just cancelled a high stakes meeting in the Oval Office with myself and Leader Schumer. The extremists want to shut down the government because they are unwilling to address the Republican healthcare crisis that is devastating America. Hold the line.

Breaking character: Ken White has a fantastic post about how "free speech culture" undermines free speech. It's something I've thought about a lot before, but Ken knows way more about it than I do and explains it really well. www.popehat.com/p/how-free-s...

NYT headline so much better than WaPo and AP.

good thread

#WWII Between April 25, 1945 and June 26, 1945, delegates of 50 nations met in San Francisco, California. The Conference agreed upon the Charter of the United Nations and the Statute of an International Court of Justice, which effectively created the #UN. www.nationalww2museum.org/war/articles...

Now, in an unsigned order, Trump’s supermajority on the Roberts Court swooped in through its "shadow docket" to allow Trump’s power grab. By overturning lower court decisions enforcing the rule of law against Trump, the Roberts Court becomes an accomplice to MAGA.

How humiliating this all is. The retching convulsions of a diseased administration, hacking up its bile and blood-streaked phlegm in front of the whole world.

Just because the president has never heard someone say the word “acetaminophen” aloud nor ever said the word himself, that doesn’t mean that he hasn’t discovered something revolutionary about it that no other scientist has ever discovered.

they're ringing that UNGA bell SO hard to try and get people to sit down again for the next speech but they should just let these people run around the chamber and scream like toddlers for a few minutes and get it out of their system before making them sit back down

Watching a third of the country beclown and degrade themselves in cultish devotion to this stumbling turnip makes me want to puke.

A seafood distributor is now recalling shrimp sold at Kroger locations across the country because of concerns about potential radioactive contamination.

The entire Russian delegation is recording the Trump speech on their phones. Not sure what that's about.

Trump making Gadaffi's UN speech look normal.

Me to the world: Profoundest apologies.

Trump to the UN: "Everyone says I should get the Nobel Peace Prize."

Donald Trump begins with a laugh line: he says he's very happy to be up there without a teleprompter, because the teleprompter isn't working. He's doing crowd work, saying he'll speak from the heart, and that whoever operates the teleprompter is in trouble. The crowd is laughing with him so far.

At an event like Monday's, we should hear from experts with charts and explanations. Instead, we got Trump's misogyny and misinformation.

Euronews - European Medicines Agency has not found any evidence linking the use of paracetamol during pregnancy and autism. www.euronews.com/health/2025/...

"And the media lined up to say, 'Wow, I guess the metaverse is here... 'Metaverse this, metaverse that.' They burned $45bln, and you know what? Nothing happened. Absolutely nothing happened. Everyone just pretended like it didn't happen at all. We all moved on." www.readtpa.com/p/the-man-ca...

Pritzker: "One of the reasons Trump wants to send troops into cities is bc he wants to be able to take control of the 2026 elections...if they've got troops in cities, & it becomes a kind of norm for people, then it won't be abnormal for them when they're going to vote having troops at ballot boxes"

bluesky headline criticism is more of an obsession than anything productive, and i wish more of that energy went into fighting the people who are being reported on in the first place

Follow Anjali, who follows the UN!

the good news is all dogs go to heaven, so the age of the cat people has begun

Both the current chairman and the CEO of Kenvue, the company that owns Tylenol, each gave $1,000 to Joe Biden in 2020. Neither contributed anything to Donald Trump.

Someone said the other day that apocalypticism is a form of escapism. It's pretty obvious in this form - they go to heaven, leaving us to deal with reality. Do they see their project failing? That would be a reason to end things quickly.

🚨 "Sick to my stomach." That's how the researcher who found a link between Tylenol and autism felt when she realized MAHA would link her analysis to vaccines. My latest exclusive @kffhealthnews.org kffhealthnews.org/news/article...

Six new women astronauts! Let's gooooo!

I'm gonna go way out on a limb and say that Uzbekistan is not buying almost 23,000 Dreamliners from Boeing.

This is a perennial antivax lie. Sex is just one way you can catch Hep B, which is spread through all kinds of contact with infected blood and body fluids. Babies can catch it from their moms during the birthing process, for starters.

So petty

Their tough guy act sure seems to disappear anytime the rest of us stick together and tell them to get fucked.

Important to note that Congress has never passed any law giving the President authority to designate anything as a “domestic terrorist organization.” As a result, this would appear to have no direct legal effect beyond acting as a statement of policy for the Executive Branch.

Christ, it’s still so weird to retweet Bill Kristol — what a world! But yeah, what he said. 👇

Remember kids, this whole "blaming Tylenol" thing is REALLY about blaming women, and trying to narrow their life experiences and choices because good, honest, homemakers have their children naturally and don't experience any pain, and evil careerist bitches use drugs to get through a natural thing.

Iger did not expect a mass blow-up of Disney over Kimmel suspension because CEOs live in a Republican bubble; and Kimmel wouldn't be back if Disney thought it would all blow over; it was mushrooming. Carr would do us all a favor if he said he was behind Colbert's firing

Trump says babies should have vaccinations spaced out over several years. Children will die because of this disinformation. Many childhood vaccines protect against diseases that are most dangerous in early life. Doses spread over years will cause delayed/reduced protection for the child & others.

So much this👇

Call me old fashioned, but aren’t both parts of this relationship currently, uh, married to other people?

"we spent the last few days watching our business being completely gutted, and have decided that we picked the wrong side towards which to spinelessly genuflect."

This week, before the government shuts down, would be a particularly good one to procure a gajillion of these stickers and plaster them everywhere: grocery stores, shuttered hospitals, your skyrocketing electricity bills, etc. www.offmessage.net/p/meme-ify-t...
