Free Greta Thunberg and the rest of the illegally detained flotilla activists.

This is so adorable

On October 3rd, I’m asking you to register to vote. zohranfornyc.com/register

Happening now: Hundreds of rabbis and Jewish community members gather in Brooklyn for a mass public memorial service on Yom Kippur, demanding a permanent ceasefire in Gaza and for the U.S. to stop arming Israel.

The ADL defended Elon’s Nazi salute and still got here. Who could’ve expected this except everyone.

Israel blocking humanitarian aid for Gaza as part of its campaign of mass starvation. Israel has no legal basis for this act of piracy!!

. @grindr.bsky.social getting on board the AI gravy train 🤮

Trump’s deployment of troops to Portland is a dangerous escalation of authoritarianism. Now is the time to find our own ways of standing up and fighting back to preserve our democracy. Fellow vets: we need you to muster. And those serving: you can refuse an unlawful order as you may receive it.

President Trump wants to kill American citizens the right way. By Ezra Klein

Nigel Edge was an anti-LGBTQ paranoid maniac who was almost certainly suffering post-traumatic effects from wounds he received during military service in Iraq, and two days ago he shot up a bar in North Carolina and killed three people.

They just saw a brown guy on a bike and decided to try and kidnap him. These people need to be treated like they’re the gestapo. Refuse service to them, don’t talk to them or yell at them (if you can), make every waking minute a living nightmare that will only get more expensive to be maintained.

Trump and his billionaire donors might be able to determine Adams and Cuomo’s actions. But they won't decide this election. In just over 5 weeks, we'll turn the page on the politics of big money and small ideas — and deliver a government every New Yorker can be proud of.

Nobody cares about the victims in the Dallas ICE shooting apparently. The first I've heard about one of them was on CNN today. He's fighting for his life in the hospital --- he was brought to the US when he was 13. He's 33 now. No criminal record. I just don't know what to say anymore.

🚨 IMPORTANT THREAD 🚨 People are protesting the Broadview ICE facility tonight. This will likely be an extremely high-risk action. I caution you to consider your risk level before attending. I will not attend. Attendance risks your safety, but also the safety of Broadview residents + detainees. 1/6

They’re getting ready to cave again 😞

I don’t think I’ve ever loved anything as much as ICE loves violently attacking women.

I honestly do not understand why conservatives want to live in a country where Americans treat each other this way.

I spoke to the trans woman who was assaulted at Barton Springs in Austin this weekend. Despite everything, she said that the bystander who stepped in and the support she's gotten makes her believe Austin is "a safe space for people like me." www.chron.com/culture/arti...

I can quote a lot of brilliant and inspiring words spoken by people like MLK, Jr., FDR, Abraham Lincoln or Maya Angelou. But somehow, when I quote many of the things that were often said by Charlie Kirk, a lot of people who claim that he was a great person tell me to be quiet. Isn't that strange?

Jimmy Kimmel came back last night but the dozens of journalists, professors, and others will not be getting their jobs back. We talked about that and so much more on this week's Cancel Me, Daddy episode.

An Update: I received an email canceling my contract as a columnist at @startribune.com after sharing this story publicly. (I had written columns past the one-year contract already + been asked to continue on in July).

In absolutely horrible news I learned this morning that Hany was killed in an air strike- he was driving people from the North to the South when it happened. This is one of the last messages he sent me 💔 He leaves behind 8 kids, he was only 48 and he was very kind.

Universal childcare wouldn't just relieve working families of a massive cost burden. It improves the whole economy. "There are a lot of reasons building a child care system that works for everyone is important to our children, to parents, to employers and to economic growth."

Today is a holiday in Japan and as usual I had no idea and came to work anyways 🤷🏻‍♀️

American Psychiatrist Association Statement on White House Announcement on Autism

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.

This is quickly mushrooming into a real international incident www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/0...

Silly Jimmy Kimmel. He should have just called for all homeless people to be killed and he’d still have a job.

Media consolidation, private equity, etc under neoliberalism has hollowed out all of our institutions. They seemed powerful but really they were just waiting for an authoritarian to come along and wipe them all off the table.

Democrats are simply choosing to not participate in the political life or trajectory of this country at the time of its greatest political crisis since the Civil War. They've found some policy trivialities to occupy themselves with and they're trying very hard to look busy

A big part of this is that rank and file journalists who don’t have name recognition are rightfully scared of getting fired for perceived bias if they too explicitly call out the bad faith from bad actors.

It still sends part of my brain into an endless loop trying to understand why some intelligent people find the plagiarism box to be so compelling. Like if a human being didn't put effort into writing this article, I'm not interested in reading it.

Why can’t Schumer and the national democrats carry this energy Like, why not

Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide. As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire. End the genocide. Ceasefire now.

Some personal news: I've been fired from the Washington Post in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk shooting. Thread incoming. substack.com/@karenattiah...

The expectation, from the complicit mainstream media, that every single person on social media hold themselves to a HIGHER standard of respect than the freaking PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES will never cease to amaze me.

Hmm. So apparently today was a university holiday

reposting with alt text because this feels incredibly significant. the right-wing disinfo machine means a lot of the people grieving Charlie Kirk never heard any of the things he said that would have tarnished his brand as Guy Who Just Wants to Have Dialogue Across the Aisle

We’ve been living through 72 nonstop hours of this exact tweet

Image shows two tweets by crowder who changed his bio after Kirk was shot to reflect his move to the top daily show spot for conservatives.

The confessed Charlie Kirk shooter has turned himself in... he is 22 year-old Tyler James Robinson, from a conservative Republican family in Utah. Not confirmed, but this was quite likely some form of MAGA-on-MAGA crime.

I suspect what happened is that the FBI spooked themselves early on with the idea that the Kirk shooting had something to do with "transgender ideology" and responded by detaining completely random individuals while the actual killer ran right past them.

Absolutely insane that they published it in the first place. bsky.app/profile/mike...

Jesus fucking Christ. Fuck the Wall Street Journal for spreading the initial bullshit

Witnesses Assumed Charlie Kirk Shooter Was Just Ordinary Gunman On School Campus

A man broke into Nancy Pelosi’s home and hit her husband in the head with a hammer, and numerous conservative politicians openly joked about it, including Trump.

Trump confronted by protestors in a DC restaurant…

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars. OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.
