Sure sounds like that research about how left-wing violence was outpacing right-wing violence for the first time in 30 years had some glaring fatal flaws

This might be controversial, but I don’t think Pete Hegseth should be the Democratic candidate for Senate in Maine either.

On top of everything the fuck else, a crucial task of the insurgent wing of the Democratic Party right now is to make it the anti-Nazi party in US politics.

The Pod Save America guys telling everyone they’re the ones who know what real regular Americans think is pretty hilarious. These guys are literally Ivy League bros who worked in the White House.

Zines, and small format magazines, are perfect for reading in the pub, performatively or otherwise. Slip in your pocket. One or two articles, essays or stories per pint. Read, drink, ponder. Leave on the shelf for someone else to enjoy when you're done.

@nathantankus.bsky.social: is there any reason that impoundment plus illegal spending without appropriations can be stopped? or are we now in this situation indefinitely where the government stays shut and Project 2025 and bailouts and taking money in "settlements" from the treasury go full steam?

🚨ICYMI🚨 Is the old “work hard and you’ll make it” model broken? And do we need a wealth tax to fix it? Will Snell of the @fairness.bsky.social joins @nndroid.bsky.social and @hannahfearn.bsky.social to discuss a growing crisis 👉 linktr.ee/ohgodwhatnow... #ukpolitics #pension

It is incredible how comms 101 in the event of a scandal is always to fully disclose everything off the bat, come clean, and then say what you are doing to make things right. Yet somehow, literally no one ever does this ever.

American bassist Anthony Jackson died at 73 on Sunday. He played with Philly Soul artists such as Billy Paul & jazz artists such as Chick Corea. His phased, echoey Wah Wah bassline on 1974 O’Jays song “For the Love of Money” is legendary #RIPAnthonyJackson m.youtube.com/watch?v=0exM...

‼️TONIGHT- claims of misspent federal money, manipulated data, and harm to Oklahoma kids… just within ONE office of OSDE. Former support specialists- including a former Teacher of the Year- reveal what drove them away during Ryan Walters’ time as superintendent. #OKLAED

Is it expensive? Yes. Does it involve ripping up the White House? Sure. But prepare to have your breath snatched away when you see Donald’s double reverse spin.

Everyone complaining about the Ballroom Brought To You By Brawndo will be eating their words when they see Trump’s elegant waltzes at the first ball.

The average age of U.S. homebuyers is now 56, up from 49 last year. In 1981, the year trickledown economics began, it was 31.

I always knew that some portion of Americans were soulless fuckers. But I never could’ve imagined that a major American political party — the party of Lincoln — would be made up entirely of soulless fuckers.

I was just talking to someone about the anti-ICE influencer who had their car rammed & was injured by ICE while trying to film ICE for a full thirty seconds before we realized that we were talking about different people who were recently rammed & injured by ICE while trying to film ICE

Nurses are The Best. They should all be living in a palace. (Not the SAME palace; that would be bad. Each should have their own damn palace.) And we should all protect them, especially their employers. calmatters.org/commentary/2...

My only criticism of Anna’s reporting is that Halligan said Anna could ask about anything, but Anna didn’t ask if she knows who runs DOGE.

Watching the Abbott elementary Phillies game episode with @liznotlizard.bsky.social. Wife, seeing someone with a scorecard: don’t you take little notes when you go? Me, stunned silent: it’s called keeping score!

A think I like about @leaflet.pub is that it has code highlighting syntax for SAS. SAS!

fwiw, I think there is a good bit more resistance from institutions and individuals than there was earlier in the year. not enough. but I think his cratering popularity has had an effect, at least to some degree.

this really gets to the issue. the government is supposed to belong to all of us and it's getting co-opted for personal and political gain at a rate impossible to fully respond to

Another Turning Point USA (TPUSA) chapter leader has been outed as a neo-nazi and member of violent white supremacist organizations Patriot Front and Active Club.

NEW — I'm suing DC Metro Police for the full body cam footage from the DOGE raid on the US Institute of Peace back in March. The public deserves to know why MPD chose to sell out the people they’re tasked with protecting in order to bend to Trump's will. I'm repped pro bono by @rcfp.org. Details:

all of this petulant whining and childish tantrum throwing and conspiracy-mongering is so unbecoming. just say “the tattoo was bad judgment but it does not take away his commitment to public service and we will make whatever amends we can.” maybe it will work, maybe it won’t.

Right-wing ideology has no place in science. Its entire function is to destroy science. It’s not “academic bigotry,” it’s a lesson that we should have already learned but are now learning in real time. Right-wing political operative Bhattacharya is one of our key instructors.

Yes, senate republicans, Mueller, McConnell, Roberts — they were all complicit. But Biden and Garland were supposed to be the good guys. To save the soul of America. To uphold justice no matter what. And this is what they did with their 4 years. This is their legacy.

A good rule of thumb is never have something on your body that, if uncovered, would be scored with a dramatic sting leading into a commercial on Grey's Anatomy

Over on X, a conservative influencer is taking credit for this.

This happened to Khaby Lame in June. A white republican influencer took credit www.bbc.com/news/article...

The last time something like this happened, SEAL Team Six tracked the perpetrator all the way to his compound in Pakistan.

Months after receiving an Oscar nomination for his first feature film, Sugarcane, Julian Brave NoiseCat says the whole experience is still surreal. On the latest Face to Face, NoiseCat discusses the film and his debut book, We Survived the Night.

Yesterday was the seventh anniversary of me starting hormones, and I didn’t remember until today. You reach a point with transition where it just becomes your life, and you don’t think about it all the fucking time. I promise. Here’s a picture of me and my cat. Happy hormoneversary to me!

Just. I mean. Play this video to Speaker Johnson and force him to comment on it

America is currently being run as a mob state. The people can put a stop to it but we should be clear-eyed about what's going down and how Trump is shaking us all down to enrich himself.

House Judiciary Dems announce investigation of Trump's effort to loot the Treasury for a $230 million DOJ payoff -->

I'm watching @atrupar.com drop clips of Trump's ramble to GOP Senators and am in awe of how utterly craven they have to be to sit there and nod politely.
