I got to speak with @truthout.org today about the FTC Comments! “The FTC is clearly on a fishing expedition, looking for responses that will justify its predetermined position.” But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t comment! Read more: truthout.org/articles/adv...

Keep sharing this story until they're found. Every single one.

It’s likely that this happened to them, in which case, again, this should be much bigger news. We can’t just disappear thousands of people without notifying anyone www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

LOL, the fire alarm was accidentally triggered and has been going off for about ten minutes now. Not kidding. This is somehow preferable. I feel so bad for these employees. No one should have to work in these audio conditions.

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption. Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow. People have power. Ask Target

It is easy to feel overwhelmed in the face of so much wrong, writes Daniel Hunter. But the growing chorus of dissent over Disney censoring Jimmy Kimmel shows people are finding courage. #BoycottDisney

"Which begs the question: after spending years pontificating on the importance of free speech and protecting dissenting views, why is Mr. Carr pressuring a network to cancel a show because a host expressed an opinion offensive to Mr. Carr?"

On Wednesday, Brian Kilmeade went on national television and called for homeless people to be killed by lethal injection. "Just kill 'em," he said. There hasn't been one word about it in The New York Times or The Washington Post or USA Today.

This may explain why there’s an aggressive response to people who merely post Kirk’s own words. It threatens the existence of the alternate Kirk - the motivational speaker that had been marketed to young kids and white Christian groups through selective quotation & clips.

Before the Nazis engaged in mass murder of Jews, they did mass murder of people with mental illness and disabilities.

I am having a hard time reconciling "Charlie Kirk was a fierce advocate of open dialogue and free expression" with "we must identify and persecute everyone who is insufficiently mournful"

i’m not going to be lectured about political violence by people whose politics is violence

“Kirk & I were on different sides of most political arguments. We were on the same side of the continued possibility of American politics.” So it’s personal? B/c if you were a Black woman or transgender, Kirk would not imagine you having any role in the future of American politics.

crazy how it's been shut the fuck up friday since wednesday this week

*chuckles* I'm in danger

There has been a rush among centrists like Gavin Newsom and Ezra Klein to brush over the hateful life of Charlie Kirk and valorize the man. Let me be clear, killing Charlie Kirk was wrong and abhorrent. We must condemn murder without sanitizing a man who built his empire on hate. My latest piece.

It’s ok to put the phone down.

I have serious doubts as to whether, after all of its politically-motivated firings, the FBI has the capacity and expertise to actually investigate Kirk’s murder. The lawsuit filed today against Patel and the Bureau describes a complete clown show that leaves all of us less safe

Oh, I see that neither @reuters.com nor @advocate.com credited Law Dork with breaking this story. Not cool.

Nothing brings me joy like a Judge absolutely destroying this DOJ in an opinion

Some amazing news on an otherwise devastating day:

I’m proud to stand with my colleagues at L4GG denouncing the DOJ’s attempt to strip transgender people of their fundamental constitutional rights. Read the full statement below:

Well today sucks

When I was announced as the lead in a Doctor Who spinoff in 2023 Graham Linehan tweeted about me for TWO DAYS, tagging the BBC and others to say that I am pro-child abuse and they shouldn't work with me.

Looking forward to chatting with folx in a few weeks!

we’re about to see a second wave of teen reddit atheism the world has never seen before

BREAKING: Social Security Administration chief data officer and whistle-blower Charles Borges has resigned after bombshell report that SSA put highly-sensitive data at risk. He sent out an email to colleagues moments ago. Here is the text of his email shared with me:

"What we need are laws that change the behavior of technology companies" regarding biometric privacy, EFF’s Adam Schwartz told @NPR.org. "Otherwise these companies will continue to profit on what should be our private information." www.npr.org/2025/08/28/...

The far right have chosen to weaponize the tragedy rather than confront the crisis or advance meaningful gun control. “I’m absolutely disgusted by how the right-wing media and the Trump regime have tried to make this story about transgender people rather than the victims. They should be ashamed.”

I spoke with @zanemcneill.bsky.social this morning about yesterday’s attacks. “I’m terrified for my kids, I’m terrified for my community, and I’m terrified at the thought of what the Trump regime could do to me and my community in response to this tragedy.” truthout.org/articles/far...

“Any good prosecutor can get a grand jury to indict a ham sandwich.” But not the sandwich thrower, apparently

they’re calling the most recent shooter in minnesota trans to ignore the fact that there has been an organized group of far-right suicidal school shooters and this person is very likely going to be linked to them as well

Children are DEAD and what does Kristi Noem want to talk about? Trans people. Gender doesn't matter here. What matters are the families of the victims. What matters is the very real consequences of the lack of gun control. How dare Noem distract from the victims and center her political agenda.

They were different times. Too many folks to tag.

wow :( looks like some people on the left have forgotten what the enemy of our enemy is (occasionally useful in the short term but not to be valorized nor trusted in the broader coalition)

I made a promise to the women of Illinois — as governor, I will ensure your medical decisions will be your own. Now, we continue fulfilling that promise. Public colleges will now provide contraception and medication abortion at on-campus pharmacies and student health centers.

“Uncooperative federalism,” Heather Gerken’s phrase, is quite good. cmarmitage.substack.com/p/its-time-f...

In the last couple of days there’s been a noticeable change in ICE/fed agents going from wearing face coverings to fully showing their faces. Potentially a signal that they truly don’t give a fuck about terrorizing communities and know they won’t suffer consequences (under Trump, at least.)

Even without the legal authority to enforce civilian laws, deployment of military forces to American cities will have the same effect as martial law. We saw this playbook with trans rights creating defacto bans on care, and now it’s the playbook for defacto marital law. First they came for us…

"Chicago is next" If there isn't a full on uprising over this chasing the military out, we will have de facto martial law.

The pure rage I feel against this world grows by the day

If you aren’t uncomfortable learning our country’s history, you are learning propaganda.
