Looking forward to Gender Analysis getting random pointless DOJ letters that I can use to test knife sharpness

“I’ve been in the industry long enough to know what kinds of deals are possible, and nothing about this deal is a new thing.” - Ryan Coogler discussing his contract for “Sinners”

After calling 77yo Black Dem Al Green “boy”, @RepHarshbarger (who lied about protecting Medicaid) refuses to apologize — and taunting those who think she should. Reminder: not having enough humility and grace to apologize is a weakness, not a strength. www.thedailybeast.com/al-green-res...

similarly the memories of good factory jobs are memories of a time when even someone without serious education get a job that paid enough to support a family, own a home, gave you a pension, etc. it’s not a veneration of the work, it’s of the fruits of organized labor’s political efforts

When it comes to people with autism, particularly children, RFK Jr wants to make it easier for parents and quack doctors to "experiment" and force dangerous and unproven treatments on them. And he wants to make it harder or outright illegal to counter disinformation that harms this industry.

i think people are missing the forest for the trees with this one. RFK Jr wants complete centralized knowledge of every American's health in order to exact control on what medications are allowed and in order to fabricate "evidence" for each and all of his nonsense theories.

Biden forgave billions in student loans. Trump’s plan? Restart collections, garnish wages, and shame the poor. It’s like he wakes up every day and asks, “Who can I hurt for sport?” #DefaultLoans #AreWeGreatYet

Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s full police report was released by the Trump administration. In a move that backfires! #MomSky #Voices4Victory

I hate the "it's just sex" response to genuinely wanting to know why you fuck people you think so low of. Speaking poorly of people you chose to lay with says way more about you than you know.

The buck doesn't stop with me.

The editors of CHEST did not, as far as I know, intend to make this leaked letter public. At least two other journals have also received such letters but are refusing to go on record, presumably for fear of becoming a Trump target. This timidity in response to fascism is incredibly short-sighted.

They found the guy who smashed the windows of migrants

this was sadly predictable, and a shooting liberals need to reckon with not just as a symbol of a lack of gun control but as a product of the police state

If you receive one of these bizarre, unethical, poorly written letters from Ed Martin, please send it to me so that I can write about how bizarre, unethical, and poorly written it is. Signal: annabower.24 Email: [email protected]

These stories landed today, within 11 hours of each other. This presidential administration is a clear and present danger to the American people.

Hi, I’m autistic and I’m the mayor of my city.

as a millennial of a certain age i can't really dislike Jon Stewart but come the fuck on man, a bunch of people knew. we tried to warn everyone. you and a lot of other media luminaries told us to calm down

There’s just so much shady shit in this story, but this really sticks out. Folks in NLRB’s IT unit were so freaked out by what they saw DOGE doing that they wanted to notify the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. Then this happened:

ICE Just Paid Palantir Tens of Millions for ‘Complete Target Analysis of Known Populations’ www.404media.co/ice-just-pai...

The idea that the fascists cannot be defeated is the core of all fascist propaganda if you are spreading it you are spreading fascist propaganda it's as simple as that Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Forcing people to pay $130 for a passport in order to vote is just a Jim Crow poll tax by another name. It is blatantly unconstitutional.

We have @phillewis.bsky.social for news. Your job is to DO something about the news.

While markets plunge and retirement accounts reel from Trump’s tariffs: Elon and DOGE are taking a blowtorch to Social Security They shut down local offices They shut down phone services They shut down website services And now they’re proposing another round of mass layoffs

NEW: A grant to research farm-grown feminine hygiene products was axed after US officials falsely labeled it a study on transgender menstrual cycles. @anujchopra.bsky.social and I spoke to 5 people close to the project about the impact of its lie-driven cancelation. www.yahoo.com/news/real-lo...

I don’t think he is stupid like we all think he is

I truly don’t understand them

This idea MAGA is prepared to watch their 401ks crash, pay more for everything, suffer stoically for years through stagflation at best and depression at worst, for Trump’s delusional trade war - after the temper tantrum they threw within the first month of covid - is hilarious.

it's their religion. people are drawn to faith because it offers a sense of comfort and meaning in a universe of absolute chaos these people cling to their dream of an AI future because offers them an eternity where they remain on top, and their greatest sins are forgiven by a machine genius

this is however a common mistake. you don't want a larger more powerful army if you're Trump. You want powerful extensive unaccountable cops. And he has that.

I'm just going to keep saying this every time I see it: They aren't "targeting DEI"; they are segregationists attempting to erase Civil Rights protections. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/03/u...
