This should be a huge scandal. That it isn't is simultaneously an indictment of the media, and a testament to how effectively they have flooded the zone with crimes.

What I don’t get is, US Navy captains are following these orders and not resigning

in theory you could say "admissions and aid should be class, not race based". in practice the actually-existing conservative movement has sued and otherwise indicated opposition to totally race-blind things like income based scholarships because they might inadvertently privilege non-whites more.

Arrested because a white woman demanded he change the way he was sitting and when he didn’t, she complained to the conductor about his posture. His posture.

New: Sarah MacLachlan, Jewel, and more musicians scheduled to perform at tonight's premiere for Hulu's ABC News doc LILITH FAIR have all pulled out after Disney scrapped the red carpet. First notable talent consequence of the Jimmy Kimmel situation.

This is the way. Re-pledged to PBS, as well.

Yeah, I had to try three sites to cancel Disney+ but the runaround only made me more determined to do it.

Since Disney & fascists are trending, this is from the 1943 Writers Congress, led by Hollywood Writers Mobilization (for the war). Walt Disney was there, & every leftist who was anyone in H'wd. 🗃️ Disney briefly joined in - but so many of the rest got called by HUAC & blacklisted *b/c of this*.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” It costs a lot less to house people.

Lemme be absolutely clear *every* H-1B visa employee at my (large cap) US firm was summoned back to the office from wherever they were in the world today for this crap. For some, it was utter panic. Appalling.

You cannot understand US politics without understanding racism. It's impossible.

so the president just tweeted out an offense worse than watergate, we all realize that right?

Post now deleted, more or less confirming it was a DM. Great opsec!

Have they considered, oh I don’t know, taxing the rich instead?

Keep cancelling! creators.yahoo.com/lifestyle/st...

The right's position on political violence has always been and will always be that it's wrong, unless it happens to people they don't like in which case it's hilarious and awesome

The H1B thing is impeachable too and is clearly setting up so he can extort favors, like warrantless surveillance, from tech companies. I think Democrats should be signaling they will end this shit.

AOC: We should be clear about who Charlie Kirk was. A man who believed that the civil rights act that granted black Americans the right to vote was a mistake… His rhetoric and beliefs were ignorant, uneducated, and sought to disenfranchise millions of Americans.

scramble you little shits, scramble

Assuming CDC formally adopts ACIP's recommendations, CVS tells me it will provide Covid vaccines without a prescription in all 50 states and won't require even self-attestation of a qualifying condition — "it’s up to the individual patient." No confirmation from Walgreens or Walmart yet.

well this postponement will certainly make the report seem more trustworthy!

Peer reviewing manuscripts and now seeing that there is a box to check that the reviewer has not fed the manuscript into AI. This is a good step, but a sign that some reviewers are behaving very poorly.

Hear, hear @theharvardcrimson.bsky.social editorial board! www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

Michael Eisner, who served as CEO of Disney for 21 years and acquired ABC while he was in charge, slams his successor Bob Iger for bending the knee.

An absolute must-read. So glad she is speaking up. So sorry about everything she was subjected to: nias.knaw.nl/news/from-st...

“What we’re seeing is an unprecedented attempt to silence disfavored speech by the government,” said Brendan Nyhan, a political scientist at Dartmouth College. “Donald Trump is trying to dictate what Americans can say.” https://to.pbs.org/46AYg7U

So basically Kimmel made Trump look bad by showing that he was more interested in showing off his ballroom than in Kirk's death and now he's banned This is going to be a really fun country

If you work for ABC (or Nexstar or Sinclair) and want to talk about how this decision was made or the reaction inside the company please contact me on Signal at juddlegum.47 I will maintain your anonymity

shit is scary right now, but i have no intention of shutting up or shutting down. support independent media. subscribe to the handbasket.

But wait, there’s more

OMG

The thing with designating a group that doesn't actually exist as a terrorist organization is that they can then say anyone they want is a part of that group.

It’s happening. The takedown of Jimmy Kimmel is likely the start of a campaign to use the murder of Charlie Kirk as a pretext to use the power of the White House to wipe out Trump’s critics and his political opponents. But we aren’t powerless. We can mobilize and organize. Now.

Truly an important analysis from @jamellebouie.net. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/17/o...

The remarks weren’t “about Charlie Kirk,” they were about how this administration is using Kirk’s death as an excuse to shut down critics … and they responded by proving him completely correct.

ALSOBROOKS: Do you believe Secretary Kennedy is incompetent and dangerous to the American people's health? HOURY: I think he should resign

It is the job of the Democratic party to sell and defend the policies that most Democratic voters want, not to present a candidate slate that is palatable to moderate Republicans who might switch if they hate their own candidate enough.

How’s that for timing www.404media.co/doj-deletes-...

I rest my case.

This is why they’re deleting studies

This is heinous.

Some small, wealthy private college will eventually market a bespoke chatbot & mobile phone free academic environment, likely paired with a conservative GenEd curriculum (classical education, or the like). It will take off like wildfire. They will leap up the rankings. It’s just a matter of time.

Gifting your child a high-powered rifle is also an ideology. We just refuse to speak of it as such.

We don't know what's going to happen so might as well fight for better. That's really my basic political orientation.

I am perhaps most proud of starting Washington Post's Global Opinions section. As its founding editor, I helped build a journalistic home for diverse writers from around the world, many of them censored for their views in their countries. www.washingtonpost.com/pr/wp/2016/0...

It truly cannot be restated enough that earlier this year Trump pardoned everyone involved with J6, the largest event of political violence in the US in my lifetime. They have absolutely no credibility here and deserve to be confronted with this fact whenever they're in public.

My book is about to go into production and I have a section about Karen being the last remaining Black person on the editorial desk at wapo and why that was a really bad sign for truth-telling and critique (and made her very vulnerable) and well… I’m sorry I have to rush an update.
