MLK could have written this today.

If ya don't want political reactions in your factory Don't bring politicians into your factory Seems really simple

This is completely fucking unacceptable. Shut this terrorist government down until it stops brutalizing its own citizens.

Glad these 6 prosecutors stood up to this. It's absurd for the DOJ to investigate the widow of the woman killed by an ICE agent--rather than investigating the shooter. This is not how things work.

These FDA/HHS announcements that they'll conduct new studies on mifepristone, Tylenol & other drugs that have been shown to be safe for many years is bad news for the safety of all our drugs. They are trying to drive the FDA on whims, not science. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Wherever their new venue is, I hope they sell out their first performance immediately.

Remembering today that having your heart broken is a necessary step on the path to becoming fully human. Whichever heartbreak is your first, it’s probably critical that a state break your heart so that you can develop a political imagination. If this is your first, I’m sorry and also welcome.

We should be thanking the officers who did their jobs and put their lives on the line to defend our democracy. We should also call the insurrectionists who killed officers and tried to overthrow the government what they are: insurrectionists, traitors, criminals (pardon or no pardon).

In 2025, there were 2,065 confirmed cases of measles in the United States. 3 deaths. All of them completely preventable. We're doing worse than some developing countries. Venezuela apparently had 0 measles cases in 2025. www.cdc.gov/measles/data...

My mom, 78, had Glacier National Park on her bucket list, so we went on a hiking trip there, even though I wasn't sure how much she'd be able to do. Turns out, way more than she expected--she pretty much became an outdoor adventurer. www.sierraclub.org/sierra/i-too...

This is what all the Turning Point conference attendees aspire to be.

What I absolutely DON'T need from a newspaper is an article on why one sexual predator isn't sorry about his friendship with another sexual predator.

At least Forbes is telling it like it is. There is no limit to his cruelty.

Fred Rogers said to look for the helpers. Ahmed el Ahmed realized what was happening at Bondi Beach and ran to help, all by himself, pouncing on one of the gunmen and grabbing his gun away. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/15/w...

Rob Reiner: I'm going to make a coming of age drama, a fantasy adventure story, a romantic comedy, a psychological horror and then a courtroom drama. Us: Across your entire career? Reiner: In a 6 year period. Us: That sounds- Reiner: -Each one will be arguably the best movie in that genre.

My dog died a few days ago, and then this showed up at my door. It's from Chewy, where I had to cancel autoships I had set up for her food and meds. This is how you go above and beyond in customer service.

If only there were *something* Target could do differently! This article doesn't acknowledge that the company's sudden abandonment of DEI (and then doubling down on it every time they had an opportunity to reconsider) is the main reason people are staying away.

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

This is perfect.

This is what's wrong with journalism, the NYT, politicians, health care--all of it. Do I want to read about this journalist's infatuation with this imbecile who's bringing back preventable diseases? I sure don't. Reading just part of this breathless article is more than enough.

Color me unsurprised that these rich white people abusing their power are also vicious racists.

This is the true story of millions of Americans forced to find out what happens when this reality TV star stops being polite and starts getting real.

Right--a skincare routine is just what every 3 year old needs! Toddlers really need to take their beauty regimens more seriously.

Veterans are among the people ICE is terrorizing. Veterans are among the people who depend on SNAP benefits. Veterans are among the people who need affordable health care. This administration is attacking the people who put their lives on the line for this country.

I'm happy to see that this @jama.com report includes both direct measures, like stronger licensing laws, and indirect ones, like cleaning and greening urban blight. Research has shown that "greening" vacant lots can reduce gun violence: www.nationalgeographic.com/environment/...

Another example of an abortion ban making doctors stay away is Tennessee. There, the number of applicants for OB-GYN residency spots in 2024 decreased 20.9 percent from the previous year. For other medical specialties, it decreased 12.7 percent. rewirenewsgroup.com/2025/10/31/a...

Jurors Serve Up Justice

This really hasn’t gotten enough attention this week. @wired.com #ICE www.wired.com/story/fbi-wa...

I wrote this because abortion bans are harming health care in widespread ways, and this research shows how these bans are getting in the way of pulmonary and critical care medicine. Patients are dying because of these bans.

Abortion bans are worsening health care across the board, not just pregnancy and abortion care. They're preventing doctors from providing the standard of care and making them avoid states with bans--which will exacerbate existing problems with access to care. rewirenewsgroup.com/2025/10/31/a...

They are trying to deport a CHILD who's been abused, neglected, or abandoned. Endangering a vulnerable child on purpose.

As a freelance writer, I interview experts a lot. Today's the first day someone declined because they're an immigrant and they're afraid of having their name in an article that's critical of a government initiative. This is a professor. He loves living here and wants to be able to stay, he said.

How are these kids--and their parents--ever going to get over this trauma?

This list is full of major companies like Apple and Microsoft. Other than retreating to the wilderness and going off the grid, I don't even know how to boycott the scores of corporations that have collaborated with this regime. www.cnn.com/2025/10/23/p...

Even the formerly enthusiastic UT Austin hasn't agreed to it yet.

This includes 20 children.

the Muppets have been real quiet since the Louvre heist

That's 6 out of 6 so far! Now that the compact is open to other universities, I'm sure some will sign on, but it matters that 6 (of the 9 initially asked) have taken a stand. Opening it to others is a little like inviting the whole class to a party after the first few kids you invited said no.

This gives me hope for the future of journalism.

That's 5 out of 5! I'd like to see a more forceful rejection from one of these schools, but any rejection will do. So far, Brown's is the most forceful, and USC's is the most polite and diplomatic.

Here, USC is the most diplomatic friend in your friend group. The one everybody nominates to tell your train wreck friend that she's been treating everybody like shit and things need to change--but without hurting her feelings.

This is awful. It's as if @stephenking.bsky.social wrote the Shawshank Redemption in his typical horror genre. This guy basically is a real-life Andy Dufresne.

So none of these straight white men wanted to be named publicly as the straight white men who got rejected by the Michigan Law Review and blamed diversity. www.freep.com/story/news/e...

As basic question from an ex-police reporter: Can some of our journalists detail the training regimen all these new federal agents receive? The lethal incompetence involving use of force and perameters of the 4A suggests they are just handed guns, masks and badges and told to go fuck people up.

irresponsible journalism

These absolute pieces of shit. This is what the Health & Human Services and HUD websites are displaying right now.

I agree. But also, pro-life is a lie. Abortion bans have been killing women in states across the country since Dobbs.

At this rate, there aren't going to be any U.S. towns or cities that haven't experienced a mass shooting.

So greed beat fascism. Yay, I guess?

I shouldn't be shocked, but I'm still always brought up short to realize how many people think "civility" means "white people speaking in relatively calm voices" no matter what vile shit they say.
