The idea that Israel's actions can be separated from Zionism as a concept is preposterous, there's your problem "It's actually weird for non-whites to have strong opinions on white nationalism" - that's what you sound like.

Paul Saladino is a nonpracticing psychiatrist who uses his MD to sell diet scams online. Some of the things he promotes include: not eating vegetables (he says all vegetables are toxic), not using soap to wash yourself, and using raw animal fat as sunscreen instead of sunscreen, just to name a few

leave aside the horendous failure of the american media to pick up on any of this: you, individually, can be black bagged and deported for saying in america what haaretz reports in israel

And activists spent decades telling them this would happen. They happily co-constructed a fascist dream through “bipartisanship” and now they’re acting like it all just fell out of the sky.

Across the U.S., state security officials and violence prevention advocates have reached the same conclusion: The federal government has retreated from the fight against extremist violence, which for years had been a top priority for the FBI. By @hannahallam.bsky.social‬

the ghouls dismantling HIV research, medicaid, etc. aren't "out of touch," they're gloating because they're sadists who believe they will never face any consequences and have nothing but contempt for all human beings but themselves

This is the kind of sweeping, truth-telling journalism we need more of. Good job, AP.

My god! We have our boot on HIV's chest and a spear pointed directly at its throat and they want to give up?!!

An epidemiologist at Columbia had to issue a statement saying the research article RFK Jr. cited with her name is FAKE. It’s not real. The paper itself doesn’t EXIST. Yall this is fascism. FAKE scientific articles used by the government to influence policy is FASCISM. This is horrifying.

The Presidents Budget Request for NASA is out. It’s a bloodbath Canceled are DAVINCI, VERITAS, Juno, OSIRIS-APEX, US participation in ExoMars and EnVision… Huge cut to R&A. No funding to begin development of the Uranus Orbiter. If you’ve ever cared about NASA, time to contact congress.

NEW: Former “We Buy Ugly Houses” franchise owner Charles Carrier agreed to plead guilty to one count of felony wire fraud that carries a potential 20-year prison sentence. The plea follows a ProPublica report detailing how Carrier bilked investors across Texas out of millions of dollars.

Important. Well done, CDC. Glad doctors and scientists are keeping their oath to public health instead of MAGA. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

As I've said before, what we're dealing with fundamentally here, and have been dealing with for some time, is evil. Our political norms and political media prohibit talking about a mainstream political faction this way. But it is the truth. It needs to be known and it needs to be said.

Last time Trump called for remigration (a form of ethnic cleansing), national media outlets absolutely failed to cover it. They NEED to do a better job explaining it this time. www.mediamatters.org/donald-trump...

good news everyone, climate change is continuing to worsen unabated and fascism has completely broken containment but at least 2025 comes with a *checks notes* ... Glenn Greenwald sex tape.

anyway the important thing about Third Way is one of their cofounders is one of the guys behind the Dukakis tank stunt and instead of this destroying his career he just kept rising up in ranks in the party. which explains a lot about the party www.thirdway.org/about/staff/...

Politico: We now take a break from manufacturing consent to genocide Palestine in order to manufacture consent to genocide trans people. Up next, manufacturing consent for mass deportations.

Trans people have not "weaponized" our rights--we are defending our rights against an effort to eradicate us from public life.

ICE agents were waiting outside the immigration court to arrest Dylan - a Bronx high school student with no criminal record. This was an ambush. The Trump Admin is undermining due process to meet their enforcement quotas. Bring Dylan home now.

SCOOP: The State Department's new reorganization plan includes the opening of an "Office for Remigration," a term popularized by far right extremists and neo-Nazis in Europe. The office will coordinate directly with DHS "to advance the President’s immigration agenda." My report:

The article blithely acknowledges that this is indefensible morally but it is also indefensible politically. Democrats amplifying right-wing messaging and publicly disavowing their own base is not a good strategy!

trans people are real and bathrooms and sports are made up. if you act like that's the other way around i do not have to hear your argument because it is based on a false premise

the more i learn about ai development and the data centers these tech corporations are building and the amount of money and power the people in these companies have and the jobs they want to destroy, the more i understand that we cannot let them build this future they want for us

As another professor of Holocaust and genocide studies, Raz Segal, put it: “Can I name someone whose work I respect who doesn’t think it’s genocide? No.

Hidden in the Republican budget bill: a provision to do away with all oversight on AI systems with rent fixing algorithms. If your rent starts to go up, Republicans are to blame.

CIF's alleged compromise is segregation. Trans girls, including AB Hernandez, will now have to compete in their own category, separate from cis girls. And, like other forms of segregation, it's based on discriminatory false assumptions about trans girls rather than logic and science.

BART: This is the worst federal judiciary of my life. HOMER: Worst federal judiciary of your life *so far*

Amazing. Right out in the open: "universities are free to do research as long as they're sympathetic to the administration." I want to personally play this clip in the face of every fucking clown who spent the last several years pretending that the left is the "real" threat to free speech.

Day by day, we’re seeing the Justice Department effectively decriminalize and wave away crimes by Trump’s friends and instead selectively focus investigatory resources on Trump’s adversaries and enemies. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/crime-is-n...

They want to kill the "engine for social mobility" because they believe denying people college education helps keep them in power while the wealthiest among us have decided wealth is a zero sum game. Education brings income gains, which means you’re taking money that belongs to Trump, a real no no.

This post is now a story www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

"the real anthony fauci" is the book where rfk jr explicitly states he believes in miasma theory lol

Trump is going to destroy the global economy again to prove he isn't a wuss

I have been sick for a week and I just read about "something going around" in a subreddit, which I guess is how I get my information now that the CDC is officially spending the next four years determining when and how microscopes became gay.

this is fucking appalling, Kennedy is verifiably a crackpot whose beliefs are deadly and whose only interest in science is screaming about the legit science that doesn’t flatter his beliefs and touting pseudoscience that does

The headline of this for me (since its findings are just what we've been saying all along!) is that it was commissioned by Utah's Republican-controlled legislature but will still be dismissed as the work of trans activists

Another v good piece at @wired.com : TL;DR: No timeline promise Musk has made has EVER come true. It's always "full confidence we'll see this next year" I personally interviewed him at conf in 2011 when he was "highly confident" of *manned* Mars missions by NOW. www.wired.com/story/theres...

It's like how every single UBI study says it only has benefits and even saves governments money, and then governments simply don't want to do it.

Because women have said this as a generalized complaint forever and those of us who aren't tiny-dicked losers don't take it personally especially given the power dynamics and social privilege involved

i do think that most workplace DEI is useless, but that doesn’t matter because when Republicans complain about “DEI” they’re not talking about that, they’re talking about the visibility of minorities in public life

Star Wars honestly sucks and I don’t know how you people watch that slop, but the Iraq War show with laser beams and the Sergio Leone show with a small green baby are both good.

If you’re wondering where the social media discourse comes from every day: it’s from me. I was hired to do it by a mysterious employer, and their guidelines are super confusing. Jibberish, really. Anyway I’m really terrible at the job, I don’t know what the fuck I’m doing, sorry. But it pays a LOT.

I don’t want to quote the person asking about why the trains are so dirty though I largely agree with their assessment. But often the cleanliness of Japan is attributed to cultural norms & while that plays a part the answer is that in USA we chose to fund police instead of train custodians.

Yeah I 100% believe that if our taxes went to paying people to clean or maintain at a dignified rate commensurate with what police make shit would be spick and span and also people would be safer overall because people being present and attending to things automatically makes spaces safer.
