And it's @drewmagary.bsky.social from the top rope: www.sfgate.com/politics/art...

Amazing. Respect the lede.

Btw, Kat was warning everybody about rightwing Dem donors calling LGBTQ and non-white Americans "The Groups" — and using that term to start throwing marginalized people under the bus — THREE (3!) months ago! This was before she was running. It is crazy how prescient this is.

I started writing something important to me tonight. Not really sure what it is, but I’ll share the end of it. Watching the tech industry do what it’s doing sickens me, and I want people to know why.

"The Golden Dome isn’t just a scam—it’s a gold-plated monument to stupidity, greed, and authoritarian cosplay. It’s Trump University with rockets." Now on substack: johnfugelsang.substack.com/p/americas-m...

Their models are about ongoing support, not trying to transform a hobby into a subscription.

Interviewing Rufo is a modern day version of asking Bull Connor his views on desegregation and Civil Rights. Rufo hates a large swath of the American public and has made a very successful career out of that hate.

Waiting for anyone, ANYONE at TheFIRE.org to say something about things like this. But they won't. Too busy making sure fascists feel comfortable and protected to actually protect against dangers to Academia.

The New York Times is back at it again (derogatory). An upcoming New York Times podcast on trans youth healthcare used audio from the mother of a trans girl against her will, after producers caught a vulnerable moment on tape.

This is from UPI's piece on the FDA's move to review mifepristone. They're reporting on debunked 'research' as if it's real! The truth? It's not peer-reviewed and was published by an anti-abortion group that admits it's trying to "eliminate" abortion medication.

Democrats obeyed in advance on trampling trans civil rights and directing cruelty toward immigrants. The attacks and erasure on all minorities are going to continue on all fronts. Never sacrifice other peoples' rights.

@edzitron.com is joined by Carl Brown, a veteran software developer and host of The Internet of Bugs, to talk about the realities of software development, what coding LLMs can actually do, and how the media gets it wrong about software engineering at large. www.iheart.com/podcast/1119...

there’s a valuable lesson here for democrats in that voters want politicians to be bold and clearly stand FOR SOMETHING but i have a feeling democrats will continue opening TACO trucks in front of the white house or begging for war with iran instead sadly

IF IT AIN’T FDIC INSURED, DON’T MAKE IT YOUR PRIMARY BANK THE FDIC EXISTS TO PROTECT CUSTOMERS FROM BANKS GOING UNDER. PRIOR TO THE FDIC, IF A BANK WENT UNDER, YOUR MONEY WENT WITH IT.

Every college leader should take note of why Ono got rejected by UF's Board: despite his craven and public abandonment of his previous DEI advocacy, they still thought he was too "woke." The lesson: no amount of self-abasement or eagerness to sell your community down the river, will ever be enough.

This is a real problem

PRO PUBLICA: Of the 238 men sent to an El Salvador mega prison, only 6 had prior violent crime convictions. 0 were on the gang member list. 130 had no criminal history. 32 had minor offenses. All 238 thought they were being sent back to Venezuela. www.instagram.com/p/DKcjM7FPhz...

As i noted here, Trump is trying to cover up the purging of non-whites from the federal workforce by refusing to share demographic data donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-politi...

The speed with which the mainstream institutions and load bearing media orgs have folded is unbelievable. If there is a chance for libs to control them again in the future, they should be treated as what they are: dogs that have to know their place. This is the language they love and understand.

I've decided to turn any hate towards this into a positive. Every time I get flipped off or thumbs down for this flag I'm gonna make a 3$ donation to www.thetrevorproject.org at the end of the month. #Pride #QueerTrucker #TheTrevorProject #LGBTQ

"lean, deployable disaster force" is 100% Silicon Valley/VC-backed growthbro talk for something that will absolutely fail and protect those it's entrusted to

They want us to die.

Lynn Segal a 72 year old woman wearing a Free Palestine shirt was among those who got attacked in Colorado by that fire tossing asshole. But sure tell me more " for the cause" nonsense ya fucking tankie loons.

BREAKING: The opinion of a random person you just encountered online is not, in fact, the universally embraced belief of "the Left" or "Liberals" or whoever else you'd like to paint with a broad brush. More as this story develops.

Is there a way to text 0 to STOP an entire party's messaging strategy?

A reminder that the New York Times, from top to bottom, from stem to stern, is composed of awful people. Except for Jamelle Bouie.

Tapping the sign

There's still basically no evidence for Musk "stepping away" from politics besides his own claims, yet the Times keeps repeating the lie to help him - sometime contradicting their own reporters. Don't print lies in the newspaper.

All of this: www.alreporter.com/2025/06/02/o...

Musk’s cuts are killing Veterans. Veterans WILL die because of this. And the administration is lying about it. MORE: www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

whenever there’s a story like this, I go check to see if FIRE has said anything, as a treat
