Just In: Judge Warns Trump DOJ to Stop Threatening Election Workers talkingpointsmemo.com/news/just-in...

Block the centrists on socials, shut them out, do not invite them on your podcasts or panels, demonstrate through social, academic, and media blacklisting that their views are abhorrent and totally unworthy of the attention of people focused on building a post-Trump society

one thing that i really want in terms of UX is being able to give organizations and apps 'budgets' in terms of how often they can demand my attention or message me, and I want these budgets to be visible to them. I want the marginal cost of bothering me to legible to those doing it.

Evil is not a disability, damn it.

Oh, and Pete Hegseth announced a live-streamed execution by firing squad.

In the span of one week, Tennessee tried and failed to execute Christa Pike, Texas carried out the execution of Jamaal Howard, and Curtis Flowers—a man who spent 22+ years on Mississippi's death row for a wrongful conviction and was finally released in 2019—passed away at 56. This country, man.

It's a smoldering shame upon this nation that we came out of the worst of the COVID-19 pandemic without deciding national healthcare was a necessity.

In fact @timnitgebru.blacksky.app has a solid track record of having been right again and again about artificial intelligence, for years, and that's why she's worth listening to today. Musk, Altman, Karp, Zuckerberg, et al.??? not so much

Incredible. First Secretary Mullin claimed that DHS had identified 15,903 noncitizens on Nevada’s voter roll. Then DHS officials told a skeptical Nevada, no no no, that’s just people we flagged. Here are the names of 185 people we KNOW aren’t citizens. All 185 were citizens. DHS got 100% wrong.

At the Texas Tribune Festival and @repcasar.bsky.social is speaking. Gets a round of applause when he says a Democratic majority congress needs to immediately pass @repsummerlee.bsky.social’a bill to cap ALL political donations at $5k.

I think we underestimate how much of the GOP *also* thought he'd be dead by now

George W. Bush is an author of the fascist takeover and we knew it back then but he has better manners than Trump and hoodwinked a lot of people that way

A modest proposal. The current people building the future are fucking it up. We want some better people to build the future. Perhaps even a future not built by pedophiles and oligarchs and fans of autocracy.

Rep. Thomas Massie has introduced a resolution to impeach Pete Hegseth — accusing him of defying Congress and illegally continuing the U.S. war in Iran.

It is not even hard to say Everyone Means Everyone. Every person has rights, every person deserves safety, a clean place to sleep, enough to eat Any politician no matter what can easily say: Everyone's rights must be protected. Nobody can argue with this! Just keep repeating the one thing!

(yes, yes, yes, more tree pictures. as I warned you earlier this week, the trees are coming. The trees are coming.)

The same stuff that would have made me susceptible to AI as a teen eventually made me into someone who's very uncomfortable with compliments and actively contemptuous of sycophancy in any form. AI makes my skin crawl, I viscerally despise it But good lord. Loneliness epidemic + AI = nothing good

The hard thing for me to fathom is that Republicans are seeing the devastation of the United States and somehow they want it to continue. They aren't resigning from the party, they aren't repenting. They want more

My youngest is going to be doing the Time Warp shortly

This is the actual for real president of the United States, and Republicans could oust him tomorrow, but they won't

Lost sight in all of *gestures* is that we absolutely, positively must reform our immigration system. Leaving people in legal limbo for years - sometimes decades - makes them easy prey to ethnic cleansers. We should invest billions in clearing case backlog and never let it get so bad again.

This needs to be a thing.

I do understand that paying $5/month to every journalist is completely unsustainable. Everyone knows we have to find another way to sponsor people writing about what's happening If you can't pay, we get it. But do not yell at journalists for having paywalls please. Many need the money to live

BREAKING: After the Washington Post fired me last year for speaking the truth in the wake of the Charlie Kirk killing, I fought back. And I'm happy to announce: I won my case against the Washington Post. They have been ordered to reinstate me immediately. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/24/b...

Brilliant: “I want to be very clear: I had no involvement whatsoever,” said Alderman, who had previously described the paper as “the culmination of our lab’s vision” and “a reflection of the research program I have built over 20 years.” “This was entirely the work of a junior trainee acting alone.”

For all the GOPs who actually think Dems are saying Harp & Trump are fucking, they're not. We can clear that up. They're saying she's his emotional support blanket. He's a praise & sycophancy junkie on his last legs. And he needs the heroin of fangirls 24/7. And that's Natalie.

Many articles/think pieces/interviews about the Democrats pushing back against the scourge of the DSA. I am a DSA member but will, out of the kindness of my heart, offer some advice to the establishment re: pushing back Do something Do literally goddamn anything

Hell yeah, bruv! ALL brownies are best brownies

This is what you point to when people say "there's no difference between Democrats and Republicans." Democrats kicked Platner to the curb -- not as early as they should have, but they did. The GOP, by contrast, is clasping a child abuser to their evil bosom.

Babies have more callouses on their hands than Jesse Watters. His job consists of hitting hair and makeup before sitting under stage lights and whining into a microphone for an hour Watters cannot imagine anyone reacting to him with anything other than scorn or vague disgust, and neither can I

OK but imagine the teleprompter guy white-knuckling through a speech he's got a big bet down on while Trump spends 25 minutes freestyling off script
