Due to legal technicalities, Luigi Mangione is now the mayor of new york city

lol

It's all starting to come together, isn't it? Kudos to @jacobsilverman.com. www.jacobsilverman.com/p/prominent-...

Spoiler: The glue is failing in freezing weather. Because they used glue on the Cybertruck.

There have never been kings in America. The monarchy doesn't start now.

Why did Hegseth just fire every top military branch lawyer? What did they refuse to sign off on? A Pulitzer awaits the reporters and outlet who can tell the public.

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

Civil-rights lawyer here. In my business, this is called prima facie evidence of invidious race & gender discrimination. And the other chiefs—all white men—are comparators. The evidence in support of the discrimination claim includes Trump‘s own “DEI” statements admitting to discriminatory motive.

another great example along with Wired and Teen Vogue of how real journalism these days can be a lot braver at outlets where no one is trying to get in good with the White House press secretary they’re out here with us, reporting on what’s happening to us all, instead of trying to get inside access

Genuinely disturbed at how relentlessly photogenic and magnetic he is, what gives!

A former senior KGB spy chief says Trump was recruited by them in 1987 due to his role as a prominent US businessman

What's that approaching? Is it? It is! It's the weekend! Let's--yes, a question in the back. Uh huh. Late capitalism has so eroded the border between your job & your life these 20th century designations of leisure time don't really apply? Huh. Ummm....would you like...a book about that?

🚨Texas measles outbreak nears 100 cases, w/16 hospitalizations. Officials suspect it's spilled just across the border to New Mexico. Low vax rates+undetected infections mean it will grow. “This is going to get a lot worse before it gets better” My latest kffhealthnews.org/news/article...

Imagine not having @thesicktimes.bsky.social during all of this… They are doing such important and vital work! Scary times, solidarity with all American longhaulers etc. Also very aware this will have big impact internationally seen as well. #LongCovid

I have learned of a sacred pilgrimage spot in Allston, where legends say that this car has been parked in a 2 hour limit spot for 13 days now, completely frozen in. Devotees are visiting from as far away as Worcester to leave offerings, @universalhub.com

Tomorrow in the NYT: I voted for Donald Trump because I hate the people he hates and wanted to see them suffer. Now that I am suffering, why can’t you find it in your heart to be sympathetic? RUDE

Among those Trump and Musk fired at the FAA: - Lawyers who help keep drunk or reckless pilots out of the skies - Air traffic control support staff - Employees who track potential new flying hazards like cranes - Staffers who medically clear pilots to fly www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Get arrested preventing DOGE goons from entering public buildings, get arrested going into public buildings to find out what DOGE goons are doing, get arrested on the floor during confirmation votes to protest the rubber stamping of unqualified candidates

Let me ask again: where are presidents Obama, Bush and Clinton. Where are the Fortune 500 CEOs? The university presidents. Is all this “leadership” stuff they tout just words? I don’t want to think so but the question must be asked.

🚨The Trump admin is moving to terminate Temporary Protected Status for half a million Haitians in the United States, seemingly illegally moving up the expiration date from next February to August of this year. In a single day, 500,000 people could lose work authorization and deportation protections.

The number of small businesses that are about to be wiped out because they were funded mostly by being a reliable, cost-effective, private partner for some small section of the federal government is gonna be wild. This isn't merely a first domino thing, but a bulldozer careening down main street.

drugs have taken too many beloved celebrities from us over the years but drugs also have a rare chance right now to radically rehabilitate their image

Steve Bannon, after calling for Trump to be President for life, did a Nazi salute on stage at CPAC. Nazism has officially taken over the GOP. The few remaining conservatives have a choice: either leave the party and obstruct it—or choose to be complicit.

And here it is, my Joker moment. I am insane now.

JFC just fully morphing into the Pale Man

i mean, good lord

Breaking News: The Trump administration today repatriated the 170+ Venezuelans it sent to Guantanamo Bay, emptied the migrant operation it hastily established earlier this month. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/20/u...

Just set for a second aside the clear, unquestionable illegality and unconstitutionality- boy oh boy would I not want to politically own a postal service reorganization. Literally zero upside and cavernous risk.

Fictional villains: my motivation involves a complex backstory around lost love and a deep yearning to be understood Real life villains: being cruel makes me feel like a big strong man

NEWS Citigroup Inc., the third largest US bank, is ending workplace representation goals and removing requirements to interview job candidates from diverse backgrounds, citing pressure from the Trump administration. Full Story: https://bloom.bg/4gPsAi8

Saving money is only impressive if you can maintain quality at the same time. If I throw you out on the street and say "You're welcome, I just saved you a monthly rent payment" that's not really helpful

So if you criticize Elon Musk, Trump’s DOJ will send you this letter. Members of Congress must have the right to forcefully oppose the Trump Administration. I will not be silenced.

Elon’s busy schedule today is claiming astronauts were left in the ISS for political reasons, getting corrected by an ISS astronaut, throwing a fit where he calls the astronaut a slur, then complaining that we should deorbit the ISS

Seems like a lot of people don't understand that prison guards are cops, cops are class traitors, and cop "strikes" don't count. The political position one should agitate for here is a massive reduction in the number of prisons, prisoners, and punitive security regimes within prisons.

BREAKING: The Trump administration has announced that it will kill Medicare coverage of most telehealth services on April 1st.

"Key congressional Republicans have powers they’re choosing not to use... "Senator Susan Collins, for example, believes the White House and DOGE may be breaking the law. She doesn’t, however, seem eager to use her considerable influence..." www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Abolish the police, grand jury says abcnews.go.com/US/hancevill...

The CDC has an ultra-competitive 2-year program to train "the best of the best" to lead public health labs. Most of the current class were terminated over the weekend. www.science.org/content/arti... (by @meredithwadman.bsky.social)

A key argument for hosting conferences in the US — the relative ease of attendance compared to other countries — is being destroyed in real time. Lots of not-great things start to happen downstream fairly quickly because of that, a whole events industry facing a massive, artificial contraction.

Awful: Numerous scientists and researchers were just fired at NIH's center for treating Alzheimer's, sources tell me. They fear Trump-Musk cuts could dramatically set back our ability to treat dementias. New reporting from me here: newrepublic.com/article/1917...

man listen
