Israel is systematically targeting centers for ambulances. According to the ministry of health, at least 52 ambulances and medical vehicles have been hit, 19 medical and ambulatory centers damaged, and emergency services targeted in 79 separate attacks.

In which we learn that Kid Rock lives in a suburb called, of course, Whites Creek

This just about sums it up

I have followed @attackerman.bsky.social's hard-hitting War on Terror journalism for almost 2 decades. But the tenderness of this piece of reporting on Gaza's hospitals is both beautiful and heart-breaking.

JK Rowling is calling women athletes men even after they pass genetic testing. People in her replies are talking about these women having “ambiguous” genitalia. We are in an extremely frightening moment for ALL women thanks to transphobia.

Oh man, who knows where this will lead, but at the least we may get to read some VERY interesting emails from and to Columbia's oligarchic trustees and their lieutenants: Court Finds Columbia May Have Acted as Government’s Instrument to Suppress Palestinian Advocacy www.cair-ny.org/news/3/19/26...

So excited at last to be able to publicly share my eternal gratitude to Gerardo Naranjo, the best cast and crew ever, the entire Netflix Lat Am team, and the Fábula family for this crazy, sad, joyful, angry, funny, real, surreal thing we did! variety.com/2026/film/gl...

I get why/that people say this, but dont' underestimate this: all other social networks are invested in making sure that posts that link to journalism remain buried, or at least never go viral. BlueSky doesn't do that. That makes it very valuable to a ton of newsrooms righ tnow.

So to be clear, "Free Palestine" is not suitable to air, but the n-word is...

Yesterday, after being hospitalized for more than 72 hours following a seizure, Leqaa Kordia was discharged and returned to ICE detention.

Note: Just like Mohsen Mahdawi, ICE snatched Leqaa at what she thought was a routine immigration check-in, after she protested Israel’s genocide of Gaza. They then took her from New Jersey to Texas—where she’s been detained for nearly a year. Now she’s hospitalized and her whereabouts are unknown.

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:

“The claim that Republican anti-trans ads and rhetoric are winning over Democratic and independent voters is simply not true. Moreover, the assumption that abandoning trans rights will have no negative ramifications for Democrats is mistaken.” @juliaserano.bsky.social

The project to distance Epstein’s associates and collaborators from his abuse, a project which has been taken on by the likes of Ezra Klein and people at the elite institutions that enabled Epstein, is a project to prevent fully understanding why abusers get away with it and how they can be stopped

“bari weiss’s wife in the epstein files” is simply too perfect

this handful of independent journalists (my former colleagues at Motherboard) do more impactful journalism than 75% of the corporate tech press on a fraction of the budget

so bari definitely got the heads up that noem is being shitcanned, right?

"ICE will leave Minnesota if you hand over your voter rolls" tells you everything you need to know. This was never about immigration or fraud. It was always about rigging elections.

I was a sensitive kid. I loved cats. I had OCD, undiagnosed. When I was 9, a fraternity brother tortured a cat to death in my hometown. The details even now are beyond imagination. archive.is/xdmUL I was traumatized for years from reading the news story. The torturer? Now the head of the NRA.

I've talked to people on the ground about the strike here tomorrow, and the single thing everyone brings up is just how shockingly wide the support for the strike is. Businesses that no one would have expected to support it are doing so.

I've been thinking about this a lot, for months: Gaza was a breaking point between verifiable reality and liberal governance. "AI" sparks fears ppl will believe things that aren't true, but Gaza SHOWED things that WERE true—& western governments, universities & news outlets pretened they were not.

Trump posting the texts of European leaders groveling is funny ngl. They are all a bunch of worms “thanks for the the intervention you’re doing in the global south. Please don’t touch Greenland. Let’s be best friends”

The NFL has fined Texans linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair $11,593 for wearing eye black that called to "stop the genocide" during a playoff match last week. The message referenced the genocide in Gaza & was visible also during his post-game TV interview on ESPN. The league says this violated its...

Excited to share, well, not sure i can yet call them *thoughts* exactly, but if you happen to be near Cambridge next week, please come by - www.film.cam.ac.uk/events/himes...

Can you imagine if the media reported everything else the way they do the ongoing genocide, like "Man Liquidates Family Amid Ongoing Restraining Order Tensions"?

A lovely appreciation of the late great Amos Poe's work. I'll only add that on top of all else, Amos was also a very kind soul. www.screenslate.com/articles/amo...

Texas A&M philosophy professor Martin Peterson, who was told by the university to remove readings by Plato & others from his moral problems course, is replacing them with a news article about the university's censorship and violation of academic freedom. See Update 3 at dailynous.com/2026/01/06/t...
