Happy 75th Birthday, Stevie Wonder. 🎉 To celebrate, here is a list of the soul visionary's best 50 songs

This is the non-profit South Seattle hospital that fired my wife's whole team a month ago because Trump stopped providing medicaid reimbursements at the beginning of the year, throwing them into financial chaos. The word medicaid isn't mentioned once in this article on more layoffs:

Yes, this is a genuine 1949 DC Comics illustration printed on book covers distributed to schools in the US.

On AI hallucinations and in-built biases: Terri Morgan asked Copilot to generate a photo of a nurse, first in French then in Spanish and then in German. The results are weird to the point of disturbing. #mojofest2025

Hey you know where else DMS has been spotted? The very very dead comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. @elisecutts.bsky.social covered for @science.org last year. How could stories today not note this?

📌So for the fuck of it, I tuned into Fox and Newmax the past hour to get their take on this financial suicide today, and neither of them had their market tickers on. I swear to God, you'd think everybody struck gold today. NONE of this would have happened to America without this hideous propaganda.

This is part of what’s so insane. As they talk about re-shoring and manufacturing they are actively trying to destroy an entire us manufacturing industry that already exists.

Good morning from France ☀️ “When once a Republic is corrupted, there is no possibility of remedying any of the growing evils but by removing the corruption and restoring its lost principles; every other correction is either useless or a new evil.” - Thomas Jefferson

1272 protests listed for tomorrow. THAT is BIG. 686 were counted in the US for the January 21, 2017, women's march, in which 1% of the country marched. docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

NEW 🧵 A quick thread of charts showing how Trump’s economic agenda is going so far: 1) US consumers are reacting very very negatively. These are the worst ratings for any US government’s economic policy since records began.

The U.S. government has banned American personnel in China from any romantic or sexual relationships with Chinese citizens, AP has learned. The ban extends to family members of US personnel and contractors with security clearances, sources added. justsecurity.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?...

Orwell’s memory hole in action: Control of the past is a totalitarian priority.

“Almost all the prominent Nazis came from middle-class families with right-wing values—patriotism, antisemitism, fear of ‘Bolshevism’—for whom righteous violence seemed a sign of manliness.” —Neal Ascherson

Hey @chrismurphyct.bsky.social You're saying and doing a lot of good work. But in the last day, you made the really unfortunate decision to post a really good video at Elon's Nazi bar, but not here, and not on your own YouTube site. Can you adopt a practice to post AT LEAST all three places?

Times are tough and they will be for a while. But during this time, look for the helpers. We’re here.

No Other Land Co-Director Yuval Abraham: "The foreign policy in this country is helping to block this path. Why? Can't you see that we are intertwined? There is another way. It's not too late for life, for the living. There is no other way."

I hope you’ll read this piece I wrote about the insanity of Elon Musk & Utah Sen. Mike Lee attacking federal judges, yet another attack on democracy joycevance.substack.com/p/when-they-...

Musk's forecast of AfD victory as inaccurate as his prediction that Covid would vanish by April 2020. This genius is an idiot.

After lunch today we find out whether the FBI is now controlled by Kash Patel, and I guess at that point we all become enemies of the state going forward? Exaggeration?

It's not just that Francis proves JD Vance wrong, it's that in the process he gives us a way to keep our heads screwed on straight despite the Trump administration's dishonesty and crazy-making: dandadad.com/the-goniff-t...

This is corruption on a scale unseen before in American history. www.dropsitenews.com/p/elon-musk-...

This is my favorite picture of Stonewall. They knew they were getting arrested just for being LGBTQ+. Yet... they're still here, standing outside of the boarded up Stonewall Inn, smiling as the world was at a fever pitch of hatred against them. I think about it a lot in moments like this.

Got me tearing up first thing in the morning.

Feel deep in my bones that the backlash to all of this is going to be enormous. Not sure how it will manifest and when it will explode into view, but confident it’s coming.

On his first day back, Trump signed a blizzard of executive orders — and nearly two thirds of them came straight from Project 2025, the sweeping corporate-backed policy blueprint that Trump lambasted during his campaign.

where the world stands on the paris climate agreement, as of today:

Denying reality right in front of them

Police union that backed Trump says January 6 pardons send ‘dangerous message’ www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

These people are some of the violent Jan. 6 rioters Trump pardoned www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol...

top funders of the world health organization (until today)

TCM seems to have something on their mind today.

Issuing pardons to people who engaged in insurrection is as blatant of a violation of an oath to uphold and protect the constitution as you can get. It is easily am impeachable abuse of power and a disgusting offense to our Republic

The media: How do we write “Hitler salute” without it sounding too “Hitler salutish”

They’re all still criminals, just like the man who gave them clemency.
