this is appropriately blistering

I’m out. I can’t deal with this shit any longer, people thinking cute signs on weekends has Trump, Vance, Roberts and company in any way worried. I’m done with these guys.

Apple completely ruined their music apps with the new updates. They’ve turned into Google: “we know better what you want, and your opinion is meaningless to us, we know better.” Steve Jobs is turning over in his grave, fuck that MAGA Tim Cook.

NEW: Last year we found the acceptable level of exposure to formaldehyde set by the EPA left people at risk for cancer. Now the Trump administration has roughly doubled it www.propublica.org/article/epa-...

You mean Putin likes the national security strategy he wrote for the US? www.theguardian.com/world/2025/d...

Here's the reality this example illustrates: It's not even just about people blindly trusting what ChatGPT tells them. LLMs are poisoning the entire information ecosystem. You can't even necessarily trust that the citations in a published paper are real (or a search engine's descriptions of them).

Polish Foreign Minister replies to Musk: 🇵🇱

Covers of Italian & Spanish 📰 highlight Trump’s xenophobic attacks on Europe & FIFA’s crass adulation of Trump. José María Lassalle states in La Vanguardia: Trump wants Europe as a vassal he controls. In El País, Andrea Rizzi writes that Trump and Putin are the threats: elpais.com/opinion/2025...

Who is more corrupt: the president or the head of FIFA? Tough one, right? But here is an easy one: who is smart and knows how to butter up idiots: the president or the head of FIFA? Easy, right?

The new US #NationalSecurityStrategy is so alarming that I spent hours today on this piece, rather than my real work. We the Europeans, and especially the #NB8 countries in #NATO 's Eastern Flank, MUST prepare to defend our #democracy and deter #Russia by ourselves. jmkorhonen.net/2025/12/05/w...

I suppose this is true, but he was elected to enrich himself, destroy democracy, end US alliances (both political and financial) and promote cruel violence against POC. IOW, he has been wildly successful. If that wasn't the goal, maybe the American people should not have elected him... twice.

The headline, the main takeaway from a European viewpoint is this: The transatlantic relationship as we know it is over. Yes, we kinda knew this. But this is now official US White House policy. Not a sppech, not a statement. The West as it used to be no longer exists.

For a second day in a row, President Trump launches into a hate-filled rant against Somalia and Somali immigrants living in the U.S., saying they’ve “destroyed Minnesota” and “our country.”

They would need to purge a decent chunk of their party including the House Minority Leader. www.commondreams.org/news/genius-...

Those obsessed with the Epstein files are naive -- they would move no Trump voters, and hence no Republicans. The bargain is total corruption in exchange for violent racism. It is a social contract and only Trump renouncing racism would break it -- and he certainly would never do that.

5/11 We cannot depend on the US anymore. Europe is not militarily or politically ready to face Russia. The US under Trump is no longer Europe’s protector

At some point European nations will have to realize that a smaller union that only includes nations with similar values -- such as democracy, shared security, equal rights -- is more secure, prosperous than a larger union with nations undermining its mission.

I've had it with Fidelity. They are just crypto pushers.

Both Dems and MAGA claim victory, only one gets to govern. And so it goes in TrumpAmerica.

@mluckovich.bsky.social captured it perfectly.

Juan Orlando Hernández imported a quantity of cocaine sufficient to allow the enthusiastic enjoyer to snort an ounce every five minutes for a lifetime. This man does not just deserve a pardon. He deserves our thanks. by Donald Trump Jr

Trump fears a “color revolution” but that won’t happen, the American public is too apathetic, too afraid to risk their jobs, their health care for such a little thing as democracy. But a “carnation revolution” is increasingly possible, assuming Hegseth and Trump keep undermining the armed forces.

AGS has apparently sent out an order: "protect the Don as best you can." The publisher of the NYT has money on the line, after all.

“America’s Polarization Has Become the World's Side Hustle” too many people just focus on supply side of foreigners using tech for disinformation. Its the demand side - American society is broken yet wealthy - that makes it a business model www.404media.co/americas-pol...

HOLY SMOKES! "Starbucks will pay about $35 million to more than 15,000 workers in what officials are calling the largest worker protection settlement in New York City history." VENTI-sized accountability. ✊

People misunderstand the phrase “freedom of the press” — it means those who own the press are free to publish what they want. Ben Franklin was a press owner, after all. Journalists are merely employees and are bound to respect the wishes of their employers www.theguardian.com/media/2025/n...

How low we have sunk as a country. The US Department of Defense is now run by a rabid war criminal. Ordering the execution of helpless survivors of an attack is ALWAYS a war crime, whether they civilian or military. Pure, mindless, barbarism. www.thedailybeast.com/pentagon-pet...

The DC shooting story is really getting to me because we literally trained this man as a child soldier for a death squad in a forever war and Stephen Miller et al want to blame it on other cultures? It's our culture, American culture, that killed that woman.

The San Francisco judge said the “dismantling” of the immigration court was preceded by “inhumane” workloads and trauma-filled workdays.

Italian Senator Carlo Calenda: “The President of the United States is simply an asset of Vladimir Putin… Europe will be born at this moment if it has the strength to fight two enemies - one to the East and one to the West.” “The battle for Ukraine is a battle for Europe.”

In Europe Donald Trump's sell out of Ukraine is a gift to Putin and an outrage everywhere else. open.substack.com/pub/edwineis...

The DNC would rather spend 2 million on consultants and pollsters to tell them they have a messaging problem, than to invest half of that in actually fixing that problem by hiring talented permanent staff.

Because of the Republican Party’s draconian immigration policies, a brewing institute that has been in Chicago since 1872 is moving to Quebec, citing “increased student visa challenges.” A loss for the city AND the country. www.facebook.com/Siebelinstit...

Esta é uma proposta gravíssima. A Comissária Maria Luís Albuquerque está a propôr a expropriação automática das poupancas das pessoas, para as entregar a fundos de pensões privados, daqueles que têm falido a torto e a direito. Quem não quiser tem de optar por sair do regime.

NEW: In 2024, Tierra Walker was sick and getting sicker. She was also pregnant. She knew abortion was illegal in Texas, but thought there was an exception for women like her, whose health was at risk. Doctors told her there was no emergency. Then she died. www.propublica.org/article/texa...
