A massive study in Sweden showed absolutely no link

I am always impressed with how much people outside of the US k ow about our politics

I expect in 3 to 5 years this to read more like a civil war report. “It’s official: the Northeast Collaborative has struck a military alliance with the Northwest-West Collective. Canada has allowed safe flights between both; the Midwest Patriots have attempted to down planes with farm rockets.”

Comedians are far quieter today than I would have hoped.

Peak fall colors in #Fairbanks #Alaska

What the actual fuck. I can’t believe I doubt myself sometimes.

La intenció és rebentar-nos pels quatre costats, fins que no quedi res.

This really breaks my heart. These students deserve this and so much more.

Also of note this project serves a predominantly Black neighborhood

The US DOT cancelled $20 m in funding for Boston's Roxbury street improvement project, which was awarded in 2022. The project was likely targeted because it prioritized bus riders, pedestrians, and cyclists. The Trump administration has stated that its focus is expanding road capacity for cars.

The Third Reich didn't last 1,000 years. Pinochet was ousted with a referendum. And the US isn't exactly dealing with the smartest, most competent fascists. Those of you insisting that 2025 is forever need to read a book, touch grass, go to therapy, anything other than trying to make others quit.

That only God, my dear, Could love you for yourself alone And not your yellow hair Borrowing Yeats to wish Robert Redford a fare thee well.

“You used to be able to say anything” comedians never been more quiet in their lives

I’m sure all the standup comedians who have been ranting about censorship the last few years are going to take to the streets any minute now.

I am a huge Desiree Adaway fan. Found her when I was on FB. Took one of her classes after Trump won the first time and I was like, what the fuck am I doing wrong and how can I do better? I continue learning from her and highly recommend her courses 👇🏼

“Why have you not met with them?? Are Epstein’s victims credible or not?” Trump FBI Director Kash Patel starts screaming at @jayapal.house.gov to run out the clock on some pretty basic questions

i'm not conspiracizing, i'm just saying it's WEIRD

When I was placed on the Professor Watchlist in 2021, people sent death threats about my children. I had security officers monitor my 8yo at school. Where is all the outrage for those of us who have been targeted for years? Where is the outrage for our families? My own colleagues are silent.

A friend of mine was on Charlie Kirk's "watch list" of Black professors. She received so many death and rape threats that her university offered her a security detail for the walk to class. This is Kirk's legacy. You would never know it from reading all of these legacy newspaper op-eds about him.

Weird how when a Trump supporter, white supremacist, and reportedly, a former member of Turning Point USA shot up Florida State University (FSU) several months ago and killed two people - there wasn't the same national conversation about "political violence." www.mediaite.com/news/mass-sh...

You know who was also a young husband and father—not to mention ex-Marine—who died, not attacking others to make himself rich and powerful, but to save the lives of others? David Rose, the officer killed by the anti-vax domestic terrorist who attacked the CDC. apnews.com/article/deka...

in a better world, this man would just be the impotent and powerless Michael Scott of something and we could all enjoy his deranged local mattress outlet commercials, or something. like you just want to laugh, but also HE’S RUNNING THE FBI

It's worth asking why every elite institution is issuing statements like this rather than pointing out the obvious fact that the institutional right commits and glorifies violence far more than the left. Is there a reason you feel you can't say that out loud? www.nytimes.com/2025/09/10/o...

Most folks will find their courage by finding their people.

In my experience, courage is usually the product of love and/or solidarity. When we are deeply invested in each other, we are more likely to take risks that we wouldn't take out of mere principle, or for the sake of people we feel disconnected from. Our alienation mass produces cowardice.

Remembering MN house speaker Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark and their beloved dog Gilbert. Murdered in June at their home by a rightwing Trump-voting evangelist, who also shot another MN lawmaker and his wife at THEIR home, 9 and 8 times, respectively (miraculously, they survived).

Doing the Lord’s work.

Absolutely this.

i think every democrat who does a cable news hit should start calling trump the pedophile president

The stuff Jeffrey Epstein’s friends felt comfortable saying and drawing in grotesque detail with their names attached knowing they would not face consequences is the kind of thing I think of when I think about rape culture and how sexual violence against girls and young women is actually glorified

Ok, last week on #VibeCheckPod they basically read Elizabeth Gilbert. Now, she is the guest on We Can Do Hard Things…I feel like these will be *very* different perspectives 🍿

Wow. And this is the kind of study that will likely lose funding in our current moment. www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

An interactive map through the Alutiiq Museum is offering a new way to listen, learn and preserve the Alutiiq language.

I am proud to be a Spanish citizen today and I hope the EU follows our example. @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

that’s a lot of fancy words to call him a dumb bitch

It’s all an attitude of being fine with authoritarianism, just not in their preferred cities. High crime rates in Republican-led states isn’t a gotcha! It’s a tragedy and a canary in a coal mine about what systemic racism and poverty beget. Do better, y’all. Not one city should be occupied.

This is sad but doesn’t surprise me—I’ve seen similar stories about experiences at US parks. Shame on you Disney

Every day, it’s still insane that the government is arresting and deporting people that had legal work permits, and that it’s canceling people’s visas so it can arrest them more easily. coloradosun.com/2025/09/05/i...

This is Zionism. Past. Present. Future.

all genocides are fuelled by an ideology. in gaza, that ideology is called zionism.

The biggest scandal in US public life *ought* to be that we are the richest country in history & yet our infrastructure sucks, our transportation choices suck, our cities suck, our healthcare sucks, our public administration sucks, & in dozens of little ways, our daily lives suck.

Was anything else expected from him?

If you can track the boat on camera to slaughter everyone aboard then you can track the boat on camera to intercept the boat and arrest them

I'm not going to vote for a transphobe. This isn't a "strategy," this is just reality. If people so desperately want my vote for whatever reason, they need to nominate a good candidate.

NASA scheduled a major workshop for early career researchers during the most important week of the Jewish calendar, during two of the most important days of that week and expects me to accept that this was “difficult scheduling conflicts” That’s what casual antisemitism sounds like

That time i came home and found them ready to sled down the stairs directly into an armoire. 🔥 This is the same group that our cities and police hope behave perfectly walking to school instead of forcing drivers to be safe by design. Kids are predictably unpredictable and we must account for that
