Middle schoolers should not have to protect younger students from shooters!?!?! What are we doing here?
No. We don't want or need this! By Joey's logic, ALL white men between the ages of 14 to 70 need to be locked up and studied until we figure out why they keep committing mass murders. I stand with trans folx!
I've never watched a more idiotic group of people fawn over a fellow idiot in my life. I still can't believe this is our government and has been for a good chunk of my adult life.
No one can convince me he is an actual human being and not an evil entity wearing a skin suit
“If I had capitulated, I would have been a completely frustrated man, because I would feel like someone who has betrayed himself,” MORE STORIES LIKE THIS PLEASE (from @michellegoldberg.bsky.social) www.nytimes.com/2025/08/15/o...
The people of DC still have one avenue within government to ensure government by the people and that's juries. If DC residents want to truly show their opposition to this conquest then mass jury nullification of arrests made by the federales is the way.
Another reason why I refuse to use AI. This is very, very bad! And Mark Zuckerberg sucks
The "facts don't care about your feelings" lot are some of the most emotionally disregulated people on the planet. EVERYTHING is about these people's feelings and they are so blinkered, segregated and delusional that they have convinced themselves their feelings are empirical reality.
Scary stuff. Letting all the broligarchs own all the water rich, ferile land is such a bad idea since these antisocial creeps have proven they never have the collective interests in mind. On top of all the other stress in their lives, another worry for farmers. For shame
Well this is alarming.
This from NY'S lieutenant governor is maybe the best take on the Democrats I've read yet (gift link) www.nytimes.com/2025/07/30/o...
The heat really is a factor here I believe (racism too). It cooks your brains and makes everybody on edge. You don't know hot until you've spent a summer in the south.
That absolutely was purposeful! I think it was an accident that she stepped on one. Hopefully that kid learned a valuable lesson!
It looked like an accident to me. She stops and looks like she is going back to check and then gets attacked, rightfully so, by the bird. Some kids have to learn by doing 🤷♀️
All 197 United Nations member countries were expected to submit their updated Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), detailing their plans to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, by February this year. However, only 25 countries, representing ~20% of global emissions, have done so.

The most ridiculous (AND nefarious) thing I've read in a long time! Wild!
Getting rid of PBS is also meant to clear the field for Prager U to be the place for children programming.
More of this please! Make public life so uncomfortable for them that maybe they'll have some realizations.
From me: The Jeffrey Epstein scandal is not separate from policy. It involves the main policy preoccupation of this millennium: how the wealthy and powerful play by a different set of rules. That the far right sold Trump as a slayer of rather than a product of elite impunity is causing all the rage.
Goodness, gracious. This piece is among the best I’ve read in awhile. Great work @adamgurri.liberalcurrents.com.
A great chance for Dems to beat them at their own game. Hold bipartisan congressional hearings about this! We'd all like to hear more about all of the rich and powerful people that are being protected
This first-person account of bring swept away by the Texas floodwaters is harrowing & an incredible piece of writing.
Well worth the read. I think art is so important for helping combat fascism and I hope people keep making things that sound as great as this!
"Focus the NWS on commercial operations" I hate this so so much. Based on the quality of social media apps today, I'd rather not let the tech sector into our NATIONAL weather service to make it crappier. These people are going to kill us all.
This is a five-alarm fire! This administration and Republican congresspeople and senators are harming us so much. Their hatred for humanity is clearly on display with their actions at the CDC.
This. Is. Insane. Read this, please.
I'm very curious about that 25 million figure. Did they count how many people of color and women are in leadership positions? Then we are to assume they got it over a better white man? Give me a break. What a bunch of whiners!
We have really lowered the bar for our elected officials behavior. This man should not be anywhere near a political office, or other humans for that matter. He is getting a FREE defense paid for by tax payers while these women are paying millions in legal fees, even if they aren't the plaintiff!
We have these big beautiful brains for a reason. I'm so worried about people's critical thinking skills. There are so many errors and straight up fabrications in AI generated content that I just can't trust it...or anyone who uses it for everything for that matter..
Hopeful?!? These people.are deeply unsetious and not fit to lead in this precarious moment
Sure, but maybe stop fascism and cuts to Medicais, SNAP, and science first...
Leaders they, themselves, elected!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The fact that she's not an elected official is just the fascism on the cake here
Between Baraka, Iver, and Padilla - you gotta ask why it’s only our legislators of color taking these risks. Disproportionate punishment will reign down on them but they are alone in going directly to places where abuses of power are happening. Meanwhile, white moderates debate “distractions”.
The benefit of cutting social programs was never about saving money. The “benefit” of cutting social programs is keeping “those” people in their place. Its about making sure lower status groups can’t move up the social hierarchy ladder and challenge the “real americans.”

Gold standard science
It's also bad scholarship! This bigot claims he's an academic, but clearly a bad one who can't accurately cite sources or interpret research findings. Say it with me now: correlation does not equal causation
Which is also bad scholarship! If this guy was a decent academic, he'd do better but I think his inner bigot keeps winning out.
Absolutely wild to me that people cant see this: Republicans commit real crimes and are held accountable=witch hunt. Democrats, judges, innocents arrested for no crimes=justice. This is fascism folks!
I say without any irony or sarcasm: yes, thank you, we want parliamentary sabotage. Again, I'm 100% serious. It's one of the few things a minority party can do, and which Republicans themselves did. It's essential.
Some of the CDC's main channels for communicating urgent health information to the public have gone silent.
Perhaps listeners have decided that podcasts about the "overreach of liberals" are ridiculous when the GOP and Trump are jailing international students for op-eds and disappearing people with brown skin?
It’s about to get more challenging. So stop doomscrolling and start strategizing. There’s work that we must do to deal with the next 100 days. My thoughts. open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...
More than 100 current and former employees of a federal agency charged with ensuring workplace safety warn that American workers face a greater risk of death and injury on the job as the Trump administration slashes the organization’s ranks. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

But y'all also want to and are eliminating those environmental and regulatory standards. He's a liar
I think that's at the heart of our problems. The country is being run by people who haven't developed past middle school. Middle schoolers rock, but they shouldn't be running a government.
Cutting federal funding for scientific research could cause long-term economic damage, equivalent to a major recession. A 25% reduction in public support for research and development results in a 3.8% drop in economic output. A 50% reduction lowers GDP by ~7.6%, and a 75% cut reduces it by ~11.3%.
Say it after me: Chat GPT is not a search engine. It does not scan the web for information, it just generates statistically likely sentences. You cannot use it a search engine, or as a substitute for searching. Now. Please never use an LLM for information searches ever again.
Speaking of stupider, that's what adds insult to injury is just the clear lies or complete misunderstanding, if I'm being generous, of facts. He thinks we are all as dumb as him and believe this nonsense. Also who's we? Experts? Clearly not.
RFK Jr: "We found that there's a direct inverse correlation between fluoride exposure and low IQ in children. So the more you get, the stupider you are."
Go Wisconsin!! This type of integrity and commitment to principles of democracy emboldens others to take a hard stance against this fascist government.
This poor woman. The callousness and lack of care for anyone involved makes me sick. I cannot believe that Americans want people that will do all of this running our country?!?
What they are doing to the NIH is a travesty
Don't do it friends! You'll have much worse floods! And lose some beautiful places for unique plants and animals.
I was convinced it was not! But did a quick fact check and I was wrong. It's really that easy kids
Why is he not the chair of the Democratic National Committee again?!?!?!

My favorite thing to rail against is "unskilled labor". These people think they can do any job they perceive as beneath them easily and without training. I bet they would absolutely break down in their first shift in manufacturing. Factory work is incredibly hard and complex!
I think these people believe there is a war against the "woke mind virus" or whatever new fictitious enemy they dream up
Seems like a good way to get through to people who let online trolls inform policy
Here is the top comment on this article: “You are advising responsible honest people who have worked hard, saved all their lives… to scale down their retirement dreams because a one person has decided to destroy the US economy. Why not write an article about how to get rid of the real problem?”
We need far more papers critical of AI/LLMs in my opinion!
So weird and disturbing! I know they have 0 self awareness but it is not normal to talk like that!
I was wondering the same thing! The whole "Dad's home" thing is weird and creepy and not normal
Donald Trump should not have the power to unilaterally torpedo the global economy. The fact that he does is a testament to the breakdown of our constitutional order. www.vox.com/politics/407...
That is so incredibly sweet ♥️
Nice work college presidents. A collective "No" to this wannabe dictator was what y'all should have done.
Vice Provost for Adhering to Government Censorship - interested to see the boot licker that takes that job
100% a strong, collective response by all universities and colleges in the U.S. is necessary if there's any chance of preserving science and postsecondary education in the U.S.
A teacher in Idaho has been told to remove posters reading "Everyone is welcome here" - specifically because it features different skin tones. As I wrote last week, this is a global political movement that has explicitly set the goal of eradicating the very concept of equality.
False. That was a tool to help gain concessions to stop.some of the bleeding or at least slow it. You are not fit to lead us at a time like this. Retire now so someone ready to actually fight this AUTHORITARIAN can take your seat! You are pathetic!
You gave away any leverage you had to stop this you idiot. The government is being dismantled. It is shut down! If you aren't interested in actually fighting, resign. The rest of us want to try to preserve our democracy
@schumer.senate.gov has to go. What the hell was that?!?! The amount of betrayal I feel translates to not donating to Dems until they purge these traitors.
Called and cussed out all of them! Either fight or get the hell out of the way
Good! Thanks for listening to your constituents!
Good! No on cloture!!
At this point, you couldn't pay me money to even ride in one of those death traps.
Thanks for doing SOMETHING!
You are a coward sir and clearly don't have what it takes for this moment. Why were you there being "respectful"? Og all people, that man deserves 0 respect. Retire!
So all NIH websites appear to be down.
I don't usually write in anger, but the president just brought indelible shame to my country.
So comforting to all the people losing their jobs unlawfully! I wish there was an opposition political party that could do something...
The men on ‘Love Is Blind’ don’t want a partner who will challenge them or hold them to account. They want a subservient voice that gives them compliments and finds their faults endearing.
Let's see ALL the Dems bringing this to the fight. People are upset and it's time to end this chaos
Of all the recent chaos, this is very, very scary. They're weeding out anyone who can stop him or defend our values. Keep applying pressure and Dems, wake up and start mounting a true opposition!
