The “Teen Takeover” trend is concerning. I mean throwing fireworks into crowds is bad. But let’s look at the cause. They have nowhere to go. Few third spaces. No recreational sports available. Too many places that ban them. We are failing teens. It is possible to hold all of these thoughts at once.

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

I had a good conversation with Dean last night

Never have I been so anxious about the outcome of the Hungarian general election.

This is not true—driver’s licenses aren’t acceptable under the SAVE Act without additional proof of citizenship. The fact that they keep doing this sleight of hand should make clear that the SAVE Act is not something that “every American gets”

💯. Exactly.

things every single republican president of your lifetime has done - started a war in the middle east - completely destroyed the economy

This is amazing. www.getyourfuckingmoneyback.com

“Do not email, socialize with, or otherwise engage known pedophiles” really doesn’t seem like too high a bar. Yet here we are.

I feel like we are collectively failing. We should all be showing up in Minneapolis.

Also can we all agree that a “briefing” at this point can in no way cure this situation? Why is dem leadership calling for a “briefing?”

Do we know how many Venezuelans have been killed?

Luxembourg touts free transit in an FT ad. And they’re not even socialist!

If you are someone focused on college access and admissions I HIGHLY recommend this Jeff Selingo essay. It is excellent. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/22/o...

Can someone share this with Ezra?

Mass shooters since 2018 who were transgender — 4. Mass shooters since 2018 who were not transgender — 4,193. Hope that helps.

This isn’t bad luck or coincidence or predestination. This is our choice. To live in a nation where our leaders teach hate, and military style guns are everywhere.

Glad to see this more and more and looking forward to finding opportunities to participate in this kind of protest near me.

All of the sudden I am getting posts that have nothing to do with my interests. Many are offensive. All highly annoying. I’m blocking and clicking “show less like this”. Is that the best strategy? I’m avoiding the discover tab at this point too. This was sudden. Anyone else seeing this?

I have no words. Everyone prepared for the constitutional crisis of the President defying the SCOTUS. The crisis is the SCOTUS being fully aligned with Trump’s vision of presidential power. So here we are.

What's up with Justice Jackson? She started making her mark and speaking out early, and some of her dissents are so pointed Kagan and Sotomayor don’t even join them. The far right is out for her, and even Republican justices are getting snarky. So what's up? Here’s my take 🧵

Praying in the House, while preparing to vote away benefits for seniors, children, and the sick. Hypocrisy at its finest.

Minor in the grand scheme of things, but I just booked a ticket on @southwest.com, my longtime preferred airline. All the things that made it the best have changed. So disappointed.

Allow me to address the elephant in the room: The decades-long outsourcing of domestic manufacturing to China was not an insidious Chinese conspiracy for dominance but the greedy strategy of the American ruling class to explode its profit margins by exploiting global inequality.

Catholic Trumpers - you down with this? He really posted it. Between this and Rubio and Vance speaking up for the NZs tonight we are in a very, very bad place.

I know it's not an option for me because I am not Canadian but I can imagine the sheer glee I would feel if I could cast a vote for Mark Carney today. Looking forward to the world celebrating the election of a brilliant and principled leader.

Selling people to an El Salvador dictator is not deportation. And doing the same to US citizens is not deportation. Can every journalist use the actual language and stop calling is deportation? Disappearing, trafficking, slavery, etc. Call it what it is.

I am very glad that SCOTUS is ordering the White House to facilitate the return of Abrego Garcia. But let’s not forget that ALL OF THOSE MEN should be returned and afforded due process. Immediately. ALL OF THEM.

French Senator Claude Malhuret: "Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine... We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor."

In 24 hours our government officials made a propaganda video in front of caged people and disappeared a graduate student. Imagine what we would say if this were happening in any other country.

Today has been beyond shocking. Multiple things happening in one day — every day — and most motivated by cruelty.

Really good explainer on the higher ed situation. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Hey @gallego.senate.gov and @captmarkkelly.bsky.social — PLEASE DO THE SAME. This Arizona voter and supporter asks that you hold the line and vote no.

Rubio terminated 5800 USAID contracts – more than 90% of its foreign aid programs – in defiance of the courts. Here’s a list of just some of the lifesaving awards that were terminated. Nearly all were Congressionally mandated. They’ve saved millions of lives. 🧵

This is perfect. Captures my own views more eloquently than I ever could. Thank you!

I have a Volvo EV. I love it. Don’t buy Tesla.

When did we start calling everyone “workers?” It sounds very Soviet to me. Or fascist. Employees? Staff? Team members? Those terms sound more human.

“Trump backed off” is not the right take. Trump caused chaos and showed that he will do really awful things just because he can and in the process will destabilize and destroy government. We need a better strategy.

Today was going well until I opened NYT Connections.

This blog post is GREAT. Thank you, Akil Bello.

I am a middle aged mom of three young adults and I worry about a LOT of things. A transgender woman sharing restroom space with me doesn’t even come close to making the list of worries. Nancy Mace is full of hate.
