I have a few interpretations...

From The Guardian www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Whether they're blaming vaccines and Tylenol, or selling dubious "remedies," what they're really doing is promoting the perception that families (and especially mothers) can prevent and treat Autism. And thus also the perception that people with Autism and their families don't need social support.

“The specific date came from Joshua Mhlakela, a South African pastor who claims that he saw Jesus in a vision, returning to the world on Rosh Hashanah (New Year in Judaism).”

As US state censorship, disappeared peoples, & horrors increase, let’s *not* keep saying things like “America is becoming like those Asian/African/South American nations” because this is homegrown _right here_. Robust democracies actually do and have existed in the Global South, thank you very much.

New video on Eric Schmitt's White nationalist speech at NatCon. With what happened last week, it was largely overlooked, but it can't go unnoticed. youtu.be/HY4quehYBmc?...

“The State Department indicated it would review the legal status of immigrants ‘praising, rationalizing, or making light’ of Charlie Kirk's fatal shooting.”

Who could possibly have foreseen this? Shortly after Trump tells South Korean leader on camera, to his face, that ROK has to get over the WWII 'comfort women' issue.

The MSNBC commentator saying that most political violence has historically come from the left just once again showed how we suffer from failing to learn history. Lynching, pogroms, race riots, the political violence that ended Reconstruction, and against the Civil Rights Movement. Come on.

"How Are the Very Rich Feeling About New York’s Next Mayor?" A Dramatic Reading of The Recent New York Times Dispatch from the Hamptons. Presented by The Gilded Age's Morgan Spector.

Justice Sotomayor, not mincing words, also says that today's decision will lead to the "creation of [] a second-class citizenship status" for Latinos, who now will have the burden to "carry enough documentation to prove that they deserve to walk freely."

To put this into context, the judicial warrant for the search at the Hyundai plant named just four people. Relying on that warrant, ICE detained nearly 500 people. DHS admitted that included U.S. citizens, permanent residents, and people lawfully here on visas.

But of course they start with Revelation.

This is an actual exchange from a VP who took an oath to defend the constitution and, as a citizen, is expected to abide by the law. May we one day have accountability for the grotesque lawlessness of this regime.

The Onion News Network truck is currently stationed outside the Broadview ICE Detention facility just outside of Chicago.

Why do we live in a world where vaccines need more research and AI needs faster deployment

Watched Ponyo dubbed with Liam Neeson voicing Ponyo’s dad, and all I could think was: this is another Taken movie.

Look who’s speaking on the Antichrist.

University of Oregon is planning to close dept and lay off faculty—incl many *tenured* faculty—& among those impacted are Religious Studies, Jewish Studies, and Holocaust Studies. Here is a link to a petition asking the president to reconsider actionnetwork.org/petitions/fi...

The 'two languages confuse children' line is literally assimilationist shit from two generations ago that has been so massively debunked even as whole cohorts lost their mother tongues at school.

This guy just stole my hamburger. So forgive me if I doubt that crime is down

BBC International Editor Jeremy Bowen has confirmed that the entire Al Jazeera team in Gaza City has been killed.

At @wtevs.bsky.social's BASKETBALL FEELINGS, the Zesty KAT stuff took me right back to my own dumb childhood jock dreams and the ugly homophobia that’s seeping into ever corner of the current fascist moment—even the '24-25 Knicks. www.basketballfeelings.com/p/exits-some...

A former “Alligator Alcatraz” worker says detainees are subject to “inhumane” conditions — packed by the hundreds into cages without sunlight, with overflowing toilets and limited access to showers.

The Institute for Signifying Scriptures is opening up a new, free virtual seminar format, #Scriptures Everywhere. We gather once a month to discuss scriptures and another persistent theme. Go to www.signifyingscriptures.org/podcast/ to sign up. Would love to see you there!

The White House openly abandons any pretense of claiming that they support legal immigration.

Today marks 38 years since the end of Taiwan’s 38-year martial law period—officially commemorating that Taiwan has now spent more time free of martial law than under it www.mnews.tw/external/mir...

Masked unidentified men lynch person at farm

Such a hard story to read about a woman in science who was clearly passionate about what she did — and excellent at it — and had that taken from her because she was Chinese. May she rest in peace. 🧪

Hours after ICE became the highest federal law enforcement agency in America history (and likely in world history), the Supreme Court lifts the last obstacle to ICE deporting people to any random country around the world, even in conflict zones or where migrants are enslaved.

Anyone's name can be blotted out of the American Book of Life, even if you thought you were fated to be there (by birthright, by parentage).

If the bill passes this week, it will give ICE enough money to become, by 2029, the nation's largest federal interior law enforcement agency with enough funding to become the nation's largest jailer.

Today's Supreme Court decision does not opine on the constitutionality of Trump's assault on birthright citizenship. It is limited to the question of universal injunctions. But its ruling on that front is MASSIVE—a huge blow to plaintiffs and judges trying to block Trump's most lawless policies.

Grateful to all who’ve read and supported my AI coverage lately. This is probably the most difficult work I’ve done on the subject to date and I hope it it can be a wake-up call. My profound thanks to Kent Taylor for trusting me with his son Alex’s story.

This isn’t just random anti-Latin racism by Vance. As a refresher, Jose Padilla was the Brooklyn-born Al Qaeda recruit of Puerto Rican descent who was arrested on charges of trying to build a “dirty bomb,” subjected to torture, and sentenced to 21 years for conspiracy to materially aid terrorists.

One of my first jobs was an admin asst for the ABA, and this makes me proud.

1. Let's put this together. The assassin appears to be the follower of the New Apolostolic Reformation, which holds that American society is literally under demonic possessions. (And you, dear reader, are one of the demon.) www.wired.com/story/shooti...

How is it even remotely possible that ‘Rise: A Pop History of Asian America from the Nineties to Now,’ the great book by @angryasianman.bsky.social @originalsp.in and Philip Wang, is on Hegseth’s DOD list of banned books?? Via @aclu.org www.aclu.org/news/free-sp...

The regime has posted signs at Manzanar, the WWII concentration camp for Japanese Americans, asking visitors to report "negative" historical interpretations. Hard to imagine a positive interpretation but it's probably just an excuse to shut down the park. www.sfgate.com/california-p...

Just going to leave this here too: www.straightwhiteamericanjesus.com/episodes/how...

It's an argument that sits strangely adjacent to the reason we have the 13th Amendment: "no, she can't be shorn of dignity," this more or less says, "because she isn't a person."

This is continued journalistic malpractice from the @startribune.com normalizing a violent white male suspect. He owned a private security company called Praetorian Guard, traveled overseas to preach against abortion and LGBTQ+ people, and attended a bible college that preaches "violent prayer."

It was truly an honor to speak from the pulpit at The Riverside Church.
