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...

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.

“The government sometimes makes brief, investigative stops to check the immigration status of those who gather in locations where people are hired for day jobs such as construction, landscaping, agriculture or car washes…and who do not speak much if any English.” -Justice Kavanaugh

The birthday book is clear: there was a cabal of rich, powerful people (mostly men) whose fondest memories with Jeffrey Epstein involved trafficking young girls for sex—trading them like baseball cards—and one of them is the current American president. You’re cool with this or you’re not. That’s it.

Purposely excluding Ayo--and instead asking a white man about MeToo and BLM!--is the main wrongdoing here. But the question itself was bad journalism, even if she asked Ayo. If you don't know any better, you ask *whether* MeToo and BLM are still going, not what will happen now that they're over.

I'm waiting for the pro-lifers' outrage.

This is going to be a disaster. A completely unnecessary one.

We've failed all the kids. All who have been in school in the last decade have grown up w/active shooter drills, practicing what to do: throw staplers and books at the gunman, try to hide in a classroom where there isn't enough space for everyone to hide, and which way to run out of the building.

So Santa Ono got a job in England. It's probably easier than getting a job in the U.S. when both the Michigan liberals AND the Florida MAGA people are mad at you! www.freep.com/story/news/e...

Universities across the U.S. are cutting track & field programs, which is bad for many reasons. One is that high school participation in T&F programs is growing, not dwindling. It's the 2nd most popular sport, per NFHS, and it's America's "opportunity sport." (see comments) nfhs.org/stories/part...

I have to say it was a good day.

Found this bullshit on a CDC website about adolescent mental health. The page it's on says nothing about what this administration labels "gender ideology." It's about supporting teens struggling with mental health. For people who want to keep struggling teens alive and healthy.

Washington Post: “Is fascism bad? The answer may surprise you” Teen Vogue: “Here are three fun tips you can use this summer to disable an armored personnel carrier”

Tree planting is a good thing. But beyond environmental benefits, it can help uplift struggling communities—if they’re true partners in the process. I visited an organic tea farm in Sri Lanka where a tree-planting project boosts the economy & empowers entrepreneurs. wander-mag.com/articles/tra...

Cleaning up and "greening" vacant lots in Baltimore has multiple benefits. One of them: Teens who live near greened sites are significantly happier than those who live farther away. I talked to @johnshopkinssph.bsky.social researchers about this fascinating work. hub.jhu.edu/2025/07/16/g...

I'm grateful to these young people for sharing their insight with me. Safety has many layers, which are constantly shifting. As one of them put it: These students are experiencing a critical point in their development, and “it becomes a point where everything feels like it’s on fire.”

What does safety mean to you? I asked a dozen teenagers and young adults in Detroit this question, and their answers touched on various issues: worries about ICE, school shootings, bullying, lack of mental health support. Here's what makes them feel safe and unsafe. www.chalkbeat.org/detroit/2025...

Call me crazy, but my idea of making America great involves a lot fewer kidnappings and concentration camps.

Come on. No one buying a $8 hoodie at Costco thinks it's actually a Lululemon hoodie. Sit down, Lululemon. And while you're at it, change your name to something that isn't racist and wasn't created for the purpose of making fun of Japanese people. www.cnn.com/2025/06/30/b...
