They built this technology with this use case in mind.

I get the rapture jokes and I’m enjoying them as much as the next guy and also I hope everyone is keeping in the back of their minds the fact that these folks are literally praying that all the Jews in the entire world drop dead tonight so they can climb over our dead bodies to reach heaven

Shaun King backing up Tucker Carlson that Jews killed Jesus. It is important to state this bluntly (I should actually write a piece about it): Antisemitism is close to getting mainstream. One thing preventing it on the right is Trump's support of Israel, but Carlson and others are pushing it.

shit ain’t over til it’s over

can more of y'all point out: they want to find out the "cause" of autism because they do not want us to exist finding out the "cause" is rooted in a deep hatred of autistic folks if they cared about us, they would offer us supports instead of impotently daydreaming about our eradication

Kimmel has a show on the air because people nationwide used the power of their wallet and voice. But we’re not done yet. Today it was Jimmy Kimmel – tomorrow it could be any journalist, comedian, or artist who dares to say something Trump doesn’t like. We refuse to accept that as inevitable.

Jimmy Kimmel is a great example of how pushback works and also how completely craven Shari Redstone was canceling Colbert

the #boycottdisneyabc #boycottdisney movement gets the goods! there's an important lesson here. let's talk about why winning fights like this is critical to saving #democracy. Kudos @nelini.bsky.social and the organizers who made this thing catch fire

THIS is how you cover it.

EXCLU: @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social will announce today he is cancelling a televised town hall with WABC News planned for Sept. 25 in the wake of the network suspending comedian Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show last week. www.amny.com/news/mamdani...

For real, this is a fantastic sign

Don't give up. Ask yourself how you can make the world a better place, even if it's just for your family, friends, or community

New: Sarah MacLachlan, Jewel, and more musicians scheduled to perform at tonight's premiere for Hulu's ABC News doc LILITH FAIR have all pulled out after Disney scrapped the red carpet. First notable talent consequence of the Jimmy Kimmel situation.

Arrested because a white woman demanded he change the way he was sitting and when he didn’t, she complained to the conductor about his posture. His posture.

I know it's hard to do but you have to tune out the constant & I mean constant torrent of criticisms on social media re: activism & organizing. If you don't, it can stop you from trying to do any activism or organizing. Most of the critics aren't doing any organizing themselves so keep trying things

Fevers are dangerous early in pregnancy and Tylenol is the only fever reducer pregnant people are supposed to take. In this freak’s mind, having a baby with congenital anomalies incompatible with life is *less bad* than having a child with autism

This x1000000

The study Olúfémi cited here is long and detailed, but I want to highlight two specific paragraphs which get at why, like him, I know we will win.

NEW: Air Force jets are doing ICE flights to Africa with transponders turned off, making them nearly un-trackable. This includes the third-country removal to Ghana and another secret flight. We figured out where it landed. From me for @rollingstone.com: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

“A reporter who publishes only what the government ‘authorizes’ is doing something other than reporting,” said @katiefallow.bsky.social www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

You almost certainly aren’t going to get out of the war crimes tribunal by producing a letter that you solicited because you were aware that the legality of your orders was questionable.

That is bad. It's the or a top story on every other major news site. This bodes very poorly for ABC.

Completely co-sign. This is basically how @sorayachemaly.bsky.social, @laurabates.bsky.social and I forced Facebook to take hate speech against women seriously in 2013.

chicago folks, for us, this is WGN.

Gifting this chilling piece by Alexandra Petri because it needs to be read by as many people as possible. www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

agree, this is the best thing I've read on the subject so far. Thanks for shining a light on the path forward, @joshtpm.bsky.social

As maddening as it is, there's a reason that pointing out the right's hypocrisy never persuades anyone. Their hypocrisy is public on purpose. It's legible to us all on purpose. BC it's a demonstration of power. They don't have to play by their own rules, but you do. Their hypocrisy is their MESSAGE.

The West Coast Health Alliance has released a set of vaccination guidelines that are based on science not conspiracy theories. This state level leadership is critical to fill the abdication of federal leadership from the Trump administration and chaos at the CDC. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/17/h...

It’s astonishing and scary to watch because generally when Trump meets resistance he eventually moves on — he doesn’t want to be seen taking the L. He tests the fences and goes away. Instead here, he tests the fences and they just… take the fences down for him.

Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.

Hard to think of a more on-the-nose encapsulation of how far the online speech wars have swung in the year of our lord 2025 than major U.S. corporations racing to fire people whose tweets offended Milo Yiannopoulos

Here's a challenge for male pundits & commentators: When you talk about all the wicked things Charlie Kirk said, all the people he sought to disempower & hurt - maybe mention the gals. I've seen almost no men raise his vile, dehumanizing male supremacism, aka misogyny. Which you know what? Sucks.

if Jimmy Kimmel's political humor is too hot for you to handle, I'm not sure "snowflake" even cuts it as a term of derision for the level of fragility you've achieved

If they're that desperate to suppress this info, seems like we should make sure everyone hears it.

Yeah But sometimes you just gotta do shit scared.

It’s coming fast and furious now. If you are going to read one thing about my book and my work, read this unbelievably rich piece in The 19th News. Jasmine Mithani gets this book, and my aims, on a cellular level. 19thnews.org/2025/09/how-...

Not just that they're comedians but two wealthy white guys being told they can't say what they want has to be the biggest of red flags

I can’t fucking believe I lived to see pro- and anti-regime Man Show hosts

As was posted earlier, how to delete your account without agreeing to the ToS: Opening this "privacy policy" link www.academia.edu/privacytakes you to a page where you can access the drop-down menu and reach "account settings." From there I was able to delete my account without agreeing.

This is my nerd rabbit hole of the day: if you spend any time with historical documents to see what people were calling Jefferson to his face for owning human beings, or what very people said about G. Washington right after he died, you see immediately critique and demand are the real american way.

I think a lot about how narratives of patriotism in U.S. politics depend on an ahistoricity that suggests harsh critiques of the nations leaders, its values, and policies, and relentless loud demands from advocates and activists for change, are some newfangled product of a contemporary era.

🧵Welp. "Mr. Jentleson wants his party to de-emphasize issues that typically animate the party’s most loyal voters." So here's the thing! The Democrats have ALWAYS abandoned the vulnerable to try to win votes on the right! GUESS WHAT DIDN'T HAPPEN. LET'S TRY EMBRACING THE VULNERABLE FOR ONCE.

NEW: 20 US politicians now say Israel is committing genocide. First Jewish members to do so— Bernie Sanders: "The intent is clear. The conclusion is inescapable: Israel is committing genocide in Gaza." Becca Balint: "…the trauma of the Holocaust serves as a reminder of the power of speaking out."

speaking as a mentally ill drug addict myself it’s been a real horrorshow watching what happens when one of us gets the unrestricted keys to the kingdom without having to get his head on even a little bit straight first

Incredible achievement that the one price that the Trump administration has brought down notably is "cocaine."

ned is exactly right. the challenge is reconnecting the democratic party to a mass constituency and building real affinity between voters and the party. it would be more worthwhole to put $10 million into piloting democratic clubs and associated newspapers bsky.app/profile/resn...

Public pressure works!

We've said it once and we'll say it again. Attacks on porn = attacks on LGBTQ+ rights and sex education. Don't fall for it!

I’ve been thinking the same thing. So many great reporters and columnists out there, as well as a new demand for it given the implosion of the NYT & WaPo
