This should be a bigger story. A government official had the YouTube channel of a private citizen shut down bc he didn’t like what that citizen was saying. This administration’s version of free speech is a joke.
STARTER PACK: I’ve got packs with different approaches, but ICYMI this one is specifically about those accounts that are good at changing the commmunication & conversation about better cities. Obvious people like @tomflood.bsky.social & less obvious like @dieworkwear.bsky.social. go.bsky.app/7iNmiCU
Informative thread below Another thing I'd add/ask, is it normal for him to stay in DC over a summer holiday weekend to play golf? I suspect he's almost always gone to NJ instead? Ofc, there's no Walter Reed docs in NJ bsky.app/profile/adam...
Interesting I'll try and look for the droopy face Yeah I just wrote the below. Something afoot is definitely possible bsky.app/profile/dark...
I will say though that: + he looks like sht in the video, although it's very brief + they've been keeping the press pool far away + there have now been multiple misleading golf social media posts. Misdirection/BS on their part is absolutely plausible
Unfortunately the orange loser was seen today. There's video and pictures from Getty (sorry to link to this rag) I think they might be trolling a bit with the Gruden photo (knowing it will fan the flames) Here's hoping that's wrong though and something is awry nypost.com/2025/08/31/u...

One disabled Marine veteran has not had a primary care doctor assigned to him since his previous doctor left in the winter, his wife said. The VA “was never like this before. There’s a lack of staff, empty rooms, locked doors.”
There's a lot of wishcasting going on. And some bad faith grifting for attention, too If you treat it like the below I think that's okay. Otherwise it's unproductive bsky.app/profile/dark...

In response to a suit by @maketheroadny.bsky.social a federal judge has blocked Trump’s expanded use of “expedited removal.” The courthouse abductions w/o due process that we’ve been protesting are illegal—and must stop. We’ll be back next week to make sure they do. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/29/u...
Part of what frustrates me greatly right now is the idea that a better world is possible — and other countries are getting there! — and the US is increasingly just choosing not to be better.
This is good: With Trump/RFK destroying CDC, JB Pritzker's officials are exploring the possibility of buying Covid vaccines from manufacturers and distributing them in-state themselves, source tells me. Dem govs must step up and fill the void. New piece from me: newrepublic.com/article/1998...
Wrote to someone last night that it was a little like buying a lottery ticket: you know it's not going to happen (1 in a 100 million), but you spend the two bucks to enjoy daydreaming and fantasizing for a day or two
Welch: As someone who lives in a red state, let me just tell you what MAGA supermajorities get you. We're 50th in education. The worst in the whole country for women to live. We're poorer, worst health care. And if you look at the bottom ten states, they are all MAGA supermajorities.
One example of a miss. They never earnestly reconciled the conflict between Sonny and JP It was teed up to have a meaningful, earnest moment post race at some pt! But instead the parking lot goodbye was a too casual see ya dude be well Such a strange and frustrating miss, and it was teed up
Same. It was very fun. Visually just stunning. Like 15/10. Score and the performances were great, too It could have easily been even better though. They softened/dumbed it down in some small and big ways. It could have been elite/epic But overall still very fun
I like BlueSky but I do find there can be some misinformation around these parts. It can be a little frustrating
Gotta start brainstorming ideas for what to call the future national holiday (I take back the first one; not sure the sarcasm works) bsky.app/profile/dark...
Unfortunately the orange loser golfed four days ago with fellow asshole Roger Clemens www.thedailybeast.com/donald-trump...
What should we name the holiday? Very Fine People Day Bigly Truth Day Bye-Felicia Day Bone Spurs Remembrance Day
Well put lol Meanwhile, pondering if Vance could possibly be worse. I do fear Vance could be more cunning But he has no rizz and has no cult following Probably a net positive? Actually, orange man descends to hell? Gosh that would be a national holiday

Holy smokes!
There is going to be a RFK death toll, but it's going to be difficult to calculate because the people responsible for keeping tabs on those sorts of things are in the CDC.
Carl B was based this entire time. We just never knew it
Oh wow. Interesting I caught in theaters but unfortunately the theater was kinda crappy. Ugh. It was visually stunning and I could have been enveloped more, especially in scenes like that one. (Just unlucky theater wise) I'm intrigued and excited for the next one in January
Thank you Carl B out of NJ, for spouting the truth (go Giants)
TY for sharing Not the point and not critical ofc, but isn't WaPo's use of the term hacker here inapt? People will think this guy hacked into Tesla Instead, he's a guy good with computers who was hired by plaintiffs to retrieve data from the vehicle and successfully did so
Amazing story here. Hats off to the hacker - greentheonly - and excellent work by @faizsays.bsky.social at @washingtonpost.com. And, the world needs more attorneys like Brett Schreiber, who fearlessly brought this case & hurdled over endless Tesla roadblocks. www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...
The new CDC director is trying to kill you. Not just “the most vulnerable”; you, me, everyone. This is a comic book-level evil scenario.
WSJ: ChatGPT fueled a 56-year-old tech industry veteran’s paranoia, encouraging his suspicions that his mother was plotting against him.... On Aug. 5, Greenwich police discovered that Soelberg killed his mother and himself in the $2.7 million Dutch colonial-style home where they lived together.
If I had said, in 2005, that 20 years later the Republican Party would be even *more* systematically opposed, not only to domestic action on climate change, but to action on climate change anywhere in the world, I would have been dismissed as a hysterical partisan.
And they used an actual 1915 radio broadcast recording of the poem. Super cool It's actually here under Versions to listen to: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boots_(...
I later learned that the boots chanting (in the movie and trailer) is a famous Rudyard Kipling poem called Boots about English troops at war youtu.be/mcvLKldPM08
I will never understand how American elites managed to convince themselves that uncivil debate — not fascism, not impunity and not widespread indifference to facts — is the defining problem of our time. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/26/o...

NEW Aug. Strength In Numbers/Verasight poll finds Democrats up 8 pts on the U.S. House generic ballot (49-41), Trump at 41% approval (-15). Most voters say gerrymandering is a problem, and support natl law for redistricting commissions and proportional rep'n.🧵 www.gelliottmorris.com/p/democrats-...
NEW RESULT: Democrats have flipped a state Senate in Iowa. This was a seat Trump carried by 11%, but Democratic nominee Catherine Drey has just won it by 10.4%. This is the second legislative flip by Dems in Iowa this year. It also means the GOP loses its supermajority in Iowa’s senate.
Yeah Bradley just talked about being heartbroken not making it in 23. And he said he had himself on the team at some point this year! Fascinating. So he took himself off And JT just said the guys are "gutted" that he's not playing. (Tho I don't think JT meant for it to come out that way exactly)
It seems bittersweet. I'm a fan of Bradley and I was really hoping he'd give the captaincy to Furyk, because selfishly I think it would have been awesome to see him play Playing would have been meritorious and seeing him in action and the support of fans super cool I'm a little bummed
Relatedly, I'm probably overthinking it but it - play or not - seems like such a dominating story that not picking himself could maybe galvanize the guys But I could also see it being a distraction/annoying storyline that never goes away. It's dominating this press conference. But maybe that abates
I'm sure people have written about this but the captaincy sort of ended up being a "poisoned chalice" He's given the prestigious role but it closed the door on his chance to play
He seems content with it so that's good But at the same time he talked about being heartbroken not making it last time And JT just said the guys are "gutted" that he's not playing. (I don't think JT meant for it to come out that way exactly) Anyhow, I'm a smidge sad lol bsky.app/profile/dark...

I feel like it's going to be hard for them to leave off Cantlay And Young is also playing well of late and might be a good fit for Bethpage McNealy probably dropped if I had to guess All that said, Bradley basically said that there are going to be surprises Thoughts on that?
All the right wing grifters are dying for someone to post a video burning the flag online. Would be a huge gift to them And all it takes is one
Possible motivation: bsky.app/profile/dark...
I hear you but I suspect that might be what they want bsky.app/profile/dark...
I suspect that might also be hoping that some react by burning flags: bsky.app/profile/dark...
I hear you but I suspect that might be what they want bsky.app/profile/dark...
I will say it does cross my mind that they hope flag burning happens/becomes a thing: bsky.app/profile/dark...
I suspect that part of the motivation here is trying to bait people into burning the flag, which fair or not, is very unpopular Like, if suddenly a bunch of people started burning American flags I expect they'd be overjoyed, especially at the visuals on the news and social media
There is wisdom in his words.
To put all this much shorter: the right's vaccine denialism is not the left's fault. They didn't arrive at that skepticism because of something the left did. They SAY that, of course, because they blame the left for everything, but liberals don't have to take them at their word! They lie a lot!
Black Swan is mostly sold out in NYC and it's showing at multiple (big) theaters 3x a day... for five days! Fury Road would crush it So disappointing
Yeah really strange and disappointing I don't know how re releases work but it's the tenth anniversary of a beloved movie that is the definition of why we want to see movies in a theater and not on our 55 inch TVs People would flock to theaters for this. So frustrating
Dang this is good here are a couple of tastes.
Proud to announce that we’ve been nominated for six Online Journalism Awards, including General Excellence in Journalism! Here's a thread of some of our amazing stories that've been recognized this year. 🧵
On the left: Nate Cavanagh, a 28-year-old DOGE staffer and college dropout. On the right: Mohammad Halimi, a 53-year-old exiled Afghan scholar. This is the story of how DOGE targeted Halimi on social media. Then the Taliban took his family. 🧵
The CEOs of the country's lowest-paying large companies made $17.2 million on average last year. Their workers made $35,570.
I’ve seen so many people spreading the misinformation that PBS is shut down or is shutting down. The Corporation for Public Broadcasting has been shut down and PBS has been defunded. HOWEVER!!! PBS still exists. It is more important now than ever that you donate to PBS if you can.
Nonexistent in LA, SF, and NYC Apparently there is a single theater in Chicago showing it But why did this get listed only to be in a single theater? So frustrating and disappointing
Here's a really galling example of what we're talking about. Note that @npr.org is only able to conceive of Trump's military occupations as a *political problem for Democrats.* This is some shockingly credulous and derelict framing.
White woman puts Mexican flag on her truck to waste ICE’s time.
Have you been able to find any info on this? I can't find anything and am curious
I think the left/right/liberal/centrist distinction is a lot less useful at this point than the "wants to be an adult member of society" vs "fuck you mom" divide.
I mean, they are singing from the same sheet of music in a way - shareholders. If the big whale shareholders have decided LLMs are over, CEOs will change their tune very quickly.
Sneakily good 😂 10/10
One of the biggest cultural issues we have is that no major media or journalistic institutions have been reinforcing norms of what things *should* look like. That corruption isn’t normal, that cronyism isn’t normal, that lies and scandals should be punished, that incompetence is disqualifying.
Disgraceful. Should be shamed and shunned. They said they were doing pro bono work for worthy causes. Now they *literally* work for the authoritarian who brought them to their knees.
Exactly. And they are making the mockery even *more* impactful because they are: a) giving it so much attention and b) they keep revealing that the mockery is getting to them bsky.app/profile/dark...
The Independent has identified Eric Lendrum as the DHS PR officer responsible for a relentless flood of social media posts on DHS pages using Nazis memes, slogans and images. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...
"If cities like D.C. and Los Angeles truly were crime-ridden hellholes, they would pose little threat to the MAGA movement. It is *because* these are prosperous and dynamic places that they must be occupied." Really can't say enough good things about this piece about MAGA anti-urbanism.
Ah sht. "Since 2009." Does that mean Iraq and Afghanistan aren't even counted in this? Even if so, what's the third? Not confident the answer will instill confidence. Damn it
Astute point. Mendacity is a core tenet of Republicans these days (Not critical and an aside, but I also think that person was referring specifically to Nazis being more honest than liberals. It was a dismaying comment and it was getting likes)
I greatly value this platform but do run into some interesting views From this past week: + there is a lib infestation on BlueSky + at least Nazis are honest abt their beliefs, unlike libs + Pete Buttigieg is a CIA spy + Gavin Newsom is the antichrist + James Talarico is a Christian pedophile

At (another) Hampton’s fundraiser with Republican donors on Saturday, Andrew Cuomo said it plainly: he’s expecting Trump’s help to defeat us in November. “I feel good about that,” Cuomo said. New Yorkers won’t.
New: the inside story of how Tea collected millions of women's secrets, then exposed them to the world. We've found Tea raided women safety groups to get users; paid influencers to undermine others, much more. The “motive is money, not actually to protect people.” www.404media.co/how-teas-fou...
When there was positive economic data under Biden, the New York Times told us to worry, with headlines like: “Why a Strong U.S. Economy Is Making Stock Investors Jittery” and “Inflation Has Been Easing Fast, but Wild Cards Lie Ahead” But when there is worrisome data under Trump, NYT reassures us:
here's clips of Elise Stefanik getting brutally booed at an event today in her district
Another reason parody and mockery is so effective is that there's very little Republicans can say to critique it. And when they do it exposes their hypocrisy and they look ridiculous bsky.app/profile/dark...
The video also has four cuts! Three are a little subtle but one is not. And it's to an entirely different camera and POV! Yeah not good that this sht is on this platform. I'm very weary of the account that put this out. Frankly I wonder if it has nefarious purposes Maybe not but it still sucks
Suspicious is an apt word here Because either his brain is just melted or he's getting a cut of that Russia meddle in US media money like the Tenet Media losers. Or maybe some CCP money like Code Pink has gotten
