This is absolutely true. If the NYT covered this the way they covered trans care, you all would finally understand what dangerous shit their trans care coverage has been.
A good example and a horrible warning.

we have gone from a world in which we were told not to cite wikipedia because it was unreliable to a world where wikipedia might be the only reliable source left on the internet and we all owe a lot to the pedantic nerds who got us there
"In a landmark study, OpenAI researchers reveal that large language models will always produce plausible but false outputs, even with perfect data, due to fundamental statistical and computational limits." www.computerworld.com/article/4059...
Seems like a good time to re-up this resource. Vaccine recommendation list for children ages 0-18 yrs prior to RFK Jr’s appointment to the HHS. Recommend downloading.
Trump loves to play the strongman, but in reality he is a weak, thin-skinned, petty little man-baby. #SundayThoughts #Pinks ☕️🌞☕️
Do you remember the 21st of September?
People say they want compromise. However: Compromise is why the ACA has no public option. Compromise is why we take little to no action on climate and guns and school funding. Compromise is the reason Dems haven’t “done more” for workers. Compromise is a means—not an end.
The confusion alone is extremely damaging. We need to be able to have high confidence in our civil society and systems.
It's not the newest of news, but still huge congrats to New Mexico on leading the way as the first state in the Union to promise free child care for all families. apnews.com/article/univ...
MAGA = fascists MAHA = eugenicists MSM = complicit enablers WTP = resist
Designating citizens as "enemies of the state" is a core tenet of fascism and other totalitarian ideologies. It serves to justify the erosion of legal rights and the violent suppression of any perceived opposition by creating an "us vs. them" mentality.
Agreed with this thread
chuck's gotta go, man just can't even pretend to meet the moment we're in, you cannot be out there talking about bipartisan funding for the health care system when the VP is threatening your constituents with loss of employment and freedom for speaking their minds in public
There's no excuse for the Vice President of the United States to use a heinous killing as an occasion to baselessly frame political opponents as accomplices to murder while threatening to use the power of the government to attack them. This dangerous rhetoric will only fan the flames.
I mean... minnesotareformer.com/briefs/haged...
staring straight into the camera and lying. just a despicable person and a poor excuse for a national leader.
Not sure who the author is, but this sums it up nicely. Everyone I know denounces political violence and we are truly sorry for his wife and family. That said, it is *not* celebrating his death by pointing out the obvious: he was a virulent bigot and I will not sit around and pretend otherwise.
What's being "protected" is not "free speech" but rather the RIGHT for white men to be white supremacists in public without any criticism or any consequences. I hope that's clear.
The biggest problem with vaccines is that they work too well. youtu.be/ZnmsMg6joGo?...
The free speech activist who built a list of professors he worked to get fired for their speech must be celebrated for his support of free speech, and anyone who quotes his speech accurately in context will be fired and/or face state punishment by the champions of free speech, do I have that right?
"…and Magda Goebbels made a great strudel.”
Feel like I’m going insane with the revisionist history that Charlie Kirk fostered open debate. He chilled speech and his targeting of professors for wrongthink led to threats, harassment, and being forced out of their jobs. His legacy is chilling speech right now, about him
Why isn’t every local news broadcast opening with, “What are the ‘Groypers’, and how do you know the signs of your son is part of the deadly gang?”
The fact that Matthew Dowd lost his job for pointing out Charlie Kirk’s hate speech, while Brian Kilmeade openly suggests we should euthanize the homeless and there is zero outrage, shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.
Please don't forget, and don't let anyone else forget, they did this openly.
The Groyper Wars
lmaooooo matt just told me the one korean hyundai engineer who chose to remain in the country is only doing so out of spite so he can sue the US government I LOVE YOU KOREANS
One thing that everyone with any sense will have to do over the next few years is to refuse to accept lies and bullshit.
I have a couple of comments about the "free speech hero" narrative about Charlie Kirk. First, was Charlie Kirk really notable for supporting the free speech of people he disagreed with? I haven't noticed that, though I could have missed it. /1
BREAKING: A majority of Brazil’s Supreme Court panel has voted to convict ex-President Jair Bolsonaro for plotting to overturn the 2022 election
While we still don't have definitive proof that there was water-based life on Mars billions of years ago, the latest findings are certainly promising.
GOOD NEWS: Despite RFK Jr saying he would cancel $500 million in mRNA research, the House Committee on Appropriations has passed a spending package, that includes $1.1 billion for “advanced research and development” at BARDA, which includes research on mRNA vaccines.
The Desert News’s politics reporter:
Blood on Kirk reported on neck/chest.
www.deseret.com/utah/2025/09...
Happened at UVU in Orem. Shot in the neck? Blood on neck and chest when carried out.
Definitely a shooting at Utah Valley University (UVU). Coworkers received a phone call from his daughter who is there. Unconfirmed reports Charlie Kirk was shot. Live and developing situation. #breakingnews
My kid is at UVU saying shots fired
Getting news from a couple friends in Utah that Charlie Kirk was shot? Working to confirm.
Best thing California could do to fight fascism is build more housing.
Many media types and Dems continue to operate as if Trump is a politically invincible figure, a "Teflon Don." But in truth he's becoming an increasingly weak, failing, diminished, unpopular, naked-emperor figure, and it's time to treat him as such. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2000...
For people in a state that is asking for a prescription, try a CVS MinuteClinic. Some MinuteClinic’s are getting around restrictions by having nurses on site who will give you a prescription during a visit. They ask to confirm if you are high risk but don’t ask for proof.
I don't want to start a thing so I'll just say that there will never be a good argument for privatizing USPS. That would be like privatizing libraries. The aim of services isn't to be run for profit, they are for serving the greater good, which USPS has been extremely successful at.
"Hey, look, dumb asshole Donald Trump can't even keep the government open" seems pretty solid
Thread...↘️
Seriously. 💯
"It's unfair, immoral, and uncouth to judge people just because of their beliefs that they've stated explicitly and written about for public consumption" is what surrounds so much public discourse about woke/pc/sjw/cancel culture
If we cannot all be on the same page that the sitting president threatening to invade a US city is fascist dictator shit then truly I do not know what to do.
Two trials will be repeated endlessly despite always producing the same results: 1) Does UBI work? (yes) 2) Does AI improve productivity? (no)
Remember this. The Nazis were defeated by geologists and car mechanics and school teachers and milkmen. Ordinary people from all over the world who risked their own lives to put the fascists in the ground where they belong.
The country is so poorly run we can’t receive packages from overseas anymore, and I’m not sure it makes the top 10 of the administration’s dumbest, unforced errors
BREAKING: New York Governor Kathy Hochul is set to sign an executive order allowing pharmacists to prescribe and administer Covid-19 vaccines to anyone who requests them, regardless of age or underlying conditions.
Lots of people asking why isn't my state issuing COVID vaccine executive orders? In most states you can already get vaccines without prescriptions, including: AL, AK, AR, CA, CT, DE, HI, IA, ID, IL, IN, KS, MD, MI, MN, MO, MS, MT, NE, ND, NH, NJ, OH, OK, OR, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, VT, WA, WI, WY
Zohran wants universal childcare for everyone in this city and I hear people who NEED this asking 'OK but how will he pay for this?' I'm like 'bitch I haven't heard your ridiculous ass ask ONCE how the city is paying 11 BILLION A YEAR FOR COPS.' NOT ONCE. So damn demagogued.
Kavanaugh's statements make the problem worse, not better. If the reason SCOTUS is using cryptic shadow docket orders is because "five" of them can't "reach a consensus or a compromise on a particular issue that might be difficult," then that order should not be precedential —there's no majority.
Hawaii announced they are joining California, Oregon, and Washington’s West Coast Health Alliance which will provide their own science-based vaccine guidelines and make vaccines accessible to everyone.
DOJ Deputy Chief Joseph Schnitt admitted that the government will "redact every republican" and "leave all the liberal, democratic people” on the Epstein client list. He also said Ghislaine Maxwell was moved to a minimum securithy prison as "a benefit to keep her mouth shut."
Again, a reminder that the law of the United States creates and names executive departments, not the president at any given time. "The Department of Defense is an executive department of the United States." 10 U.S.C § 111

Opposition to RFKJr is ramping up. Joint statement from Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) and 21 other organizations 👇
Nine former CDC directors basically said RFK Jr is a threat to public health.
Americans Astronomers watching watching US politics Betelgeuse 🤝 “It could happen at any time”
What does @jd-vance-1.bsky.social know about the president's health and when did he learn it?
John Shin, a 37-year-old violinist who has played with the Utah Symphony, is being held in a detention center more than 500 miles away from his home.
We won’t notice it at first Maybe an outbreak of cholera in southwest Kansas goes undetected Perhaps the number of flu related deaths ticks up just a bit each year But-ultimately, inexorably-the destruction of the CDC will lead to countless deaths All because of two men Trump and RFK, Jr
History shows us the opposite: Undermining and censoring scientists and experts is a central feature of authoritarianism.
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...
Still waiting for it to show on the website, but I got the formal confirmation email today. I've officially paid off the last of my student loans.
"Ashli Babbitt was a grown ass adult who made a series of conscious, ill-advised decisions to engage in treasonous behavior, and she got exactly what she deserved. She was a traitor. She was a threat to national security. There is no nuance needed here."

"Tao is one of the most prominent mathematicians and academics to publicly oppose the administration’s actions, calling them an “existential threat” to his field, and academic science, more broadly. He said public advocacy is a priority over his research, for now." www.nbcnews.com/science/scie...
There aren't many stories that prompt gasps at our editors' daily budget meeting. But this was one.
Enough is enough. The health of the country is in danger. Read our resignation letters: insidemedicine.substack.com/p/breaking-n...
#NIH is hanging by a thread. The #CDC has been decimated. #RFK Jr. and Russell #Vought are psychopaths--I don't say this frivolously--they are cold, calculating, inflicting violence on millions through public policy. It is where we are right now. These men are not normal. 1/
In a functional government, this would be a five alarm fire where Congress calls in Kennedy and asks him what the fuck is going on

Undermining the Fed to get lower rates now is like ripping the batteries out of your smoke alarm because it’s beeping. It’s quiet for a bit. Then your house burns down. Credibility anchors expectations; expectations anchor inflation.
I hope Notepad++ is forever spared.
It’s continues to be despicable how the media has spent a decade normalizing the orange felon so much so that they are reporting on his authoritarian militarization of Washington DC as if it were a routine military exercise. They deliberately failed democracy for clickbait.
LOL
Among all the other things, "The President has screwed things up so badly that the world's other rich countries won't deliver mail to us anymore" really should end it immediately.
I will add to this that any potential Dem presidential candidate should already be saying that they do not recognize the authority of these bribed and delegitimized judges and do not consider them members of SCOTUS, and furthermore will not recognize any of their findings as valid.
district court judge rules Utah's gerrymander scheme illegal, huh. I believe in Blutah apnews.com/article/utah...
I mean, we're kinda living it...
The prolonged public torturing of a single man because the state cannot admit to its errors is not something that occurs in a free country
Impeachment could be used, if Congress is not incompetent or impotent.
I would love to see ALL government land (at every level) at least co-managed by local indigenous tribes.
Rock Looked Way Cooler Wet
Increasingly of the mind that the "distraction" rhetoric comes from a deeply-rooted belief that what we're witnessing is merely a form of dictatorial cosplay. The problem which is apparently invisible for some reason is that even assuming this were true, laughing it off is unacceptable.

"Everyone uses ChatGPT" Even if we take the most generous reporting, and Open AI at their word despite their being proven compulsive liars, the daily userbase of ChatGPT is roughly the same as the population of Japan. Worldwide. That's smaller than Tumblr.
