It appears this is the fourth worst back to back day for the DJIA in American history with a two day combined -8.65% loss, only trailing the 1929 crash, 1987 Black Monday, and the 2008 crisis.

So the guy leading RFK Jr.'s vaccine-autism study? A total quack who was previously charged for practicing medicine without a license for using chemical castration drugs on autistic children.

1. What you see here is clearest illustration why things are so messed up and why it cannot get any better until this asymmetry is addressed. Put simply: the right-wing has narrative dominance. My org @mmfa.bsky.social did this study and has been sounding this alarm for years. Some thoughts...

Think about that 60-some-year-old South Korean senator who was literally climbing over walls to vote for impeachment as martial law was imposed in the country and then looking at…. Chuck Schumer.

CALLS ARE WORKING - it has bought us precious time, but we NEED to keep the pressure up. Tomorrow is the cloture vote. KEEP CALLING: (202) 224-3121 ☎️☎️☎️ Tell your Dem Senator to vote NO on Cloture and NO on the Republican spending bill. Do NOT assume your Senator will be good on this. Trust me.

I know it's late, I'm tired, and hormonal. But fuck, with everything going on, I feel trapped in this country and I genuinely don't see how we can get out of here. My ancestors got on a fucking boat, but we're one generation off from being able to claim birthright citizenship from their homelands.

Dismantling the Department of Education has nothing to do with improving outcomes for our kids, it’s simply about taking away resources from our public schools.

Figure skating world championships were considered to be for men only until 1902, when Madge Syers showed up and took home silver and the ISU went "whooooops guess we need to segregate them." It happened again in 1992 Olympic skeet shooting: Zhang Shan took gold and then they segregated the event.

Democrats think everything is an episode of the West Wing. They think they’ll all dress the same at the speech and someone will say “no Mr Trump sir you stop” and Trump will melt down and repent right there, as if Aaron Sorkin scripted it all. Such nonsense.

Democrats should have either skipped the shitshow entirely or gone and heckled the fuck out of this parade of lies and insults. This? Kinda pathetic.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

The image of Vance touching down in Vermont and immediately getting yelled at by the whitest people imaginable in puffer vests and Merrill boots with wall-to-wall lifetime Vermont Public Radio memberships is extremely gratifying

It feels really festive that a Black church took away the Proud Boys control over their own name for Black History Month.

@sfdirewolf.bsky.social "feels, more than ever, like Cassandra of Greek mythology, shouting dire warnings that no one is willing to hear or believe.

The media is really under playing how violent the manifesto was. I was initially under the impression it was just a warning of collapse, not a violent call for the military to form death squads and kill Democrats. www.fox5vegas.com/2025/01/03/l...
