Everyone touring Hoover dam standing next to massive turbines is just like, “well thank god the water washes the 5g away.”
I am not trans. Trans rights are not optional. If we’re trading people for power then burn this place down. Don't be boring if other options are on the table.

This is legitimately insane conspiracy crank nonsense. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/03/c...
Dogs are getting vaccinated less and rabies rates are rising, in part because 37% of Americans think vaccines will give their dogs... pawtism. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...
Now that he chairs the Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee, Cruz has made a significant shift toward supporting the SLS rocket and its chief contractor, Boeing.

In fewer than five years, Bari Weiss managed to parlay her resignation as an NYT columnist into a massive platform on Substack and then into editorial control of CBS News--making a vast fortune along the way--all off the absurd claim she's being silenced. First ballot hall-of-fame grifter.
Follow the money on this scam. Miles and miles of prime oceanfront real estate between SD and LA. I’m surprised it took him this long to cook up something on it.
Rand Paul: "The reason we have trials & we don't automatically assume guilt is what if we make a mistake and they happen to be people fleeing the Venezuelan dictator? ... off our coast it isn't our policy just to blow people up ... even the worst people in our country, they still get a trial."
Kinda hard to avoid the feeling that the military flyovers taking place over D.C. right now are intentional as ordered to interfere with the Epstein survivors press conference on the Hill. Survivors have paused their remarks until the flyovers pass.
There’s a group of people (US and UK) who will be more pleased about this than if it was carrying drugs.
The government killed a boat full of Venezuelan refugees fleeing to Trinidad for the purpose of generating pornographic violent content for right-wingers to consume and no major ranking Democrat has commented on it.
RIP CBS News
big night on here for Media Discourse ™️. Alerting everyone that the worker-owned, paywall-free @autonomynews.co—run by @garnethenderson.com and me—was the first to report this big development in abortion land. Our three-month birthday is tomorrow. Support us here: www.autonomynews.co/support/
Thinking about this moment ahead of RFK Jr's Senate hearing tomorrow.
If I were Canadian, I would be making a lot of calls to my reps and yelling my gat damn head off about this.
I searched “dog autism survey” thinking that would take me to the 40 percent number eventually. The top results alternated between “yes your dog can have autism”(no they can’t) and “dogs help people with autism.” we’re killing the most loyal doggos because we have reached terminal stupidity

Donald Trump has recognized the basic truth that a critical mass of Americans will cheer the more brutal you are to people they see as criminals.
About to go to bed but the man who ran on "NO NEW WARS" just ordered a lethal military strike on a ship in the Caribbean, alleging it is a "narco terrorist vessel," but of course no regard for Congressional due process, no evidence, & no care for potential civilians. Nothing autocratic about this.😐
The route from DC to Boston is 475 miles. This would be an hour and a half without stops. Probably 2 hours tops with them. It could go from DC to New York in 45 minutes. We could have this if we didn't suck.

Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., the vice chair of the Intelligence Committee, says he was denied a meeting with career intelligence workers because Laura Loomer objected.
So our military just bombed a boat in international waters and extrajudicially killed suspected drug traffickers without so much as a conversation, let alone a trial? Then posted it on social media? And we’re all supposed to just trust their account?
“Rep. Barry Moore, R-Ala., exited a town hall in his home district through the back door Wednesday night after he faced relentless heckling in Baldwin County.” “In the video, Moore did not offer concluding remarks or bid good night to the rowdy crowd as many chanted ‘Shame!’”

Hmmm, this Republican Senator's speech at the National Conservatism Conference sure has a lot of similarities to the antisemitic "great replacement theory." And by similarities, I mean it is word-for-word identical. www.dailysignal.com/2025/09/02/s...
What exactly is the point of continuing to pretend you are a journalist if you literally just print what this known and obvious liar says? They just murdered 11 people. They've claimed similar threats but never proven them. We're murdering Venezuelan citizens. Write that down.
Thank the Supreme Court for immunizing the president from criminal liability over cold blooded murder.
Burkina Faso has passed a law criminalising homosexuality.
It's so weird how Greenwald and Nate Silver and the like—who aren't even here—keep insisting that Bluesky is pro-DNC, when I've yet to see anyone here ever say anything nice about the DNC at all. Also, evaporating? Lol. Bluesky now sends WAY more traffic to @techdirt.com than Twitter *ever* did.
The biggest mistake liberals make on media issues is assuming the mainstream media gives a single fuck. They don’t care. They’re rich and they’re white and they’re protected. None of this affects them. They don’t give a shit. If you understand this fact then the tone of the coverage makes sense.
RFK Jr. is a heroin user who eats roadkill and has boasted about sleeping with hundreds of women.
The UK’s approach to prosecutions for social media content is quite different than ours in ways I have criticized. This one is within shouting distance of prosecutable in the U.S. The relevant question is whether it’s sufficiently imminent to meet our incitement standard./1
they’re so close
Like that fucking headline is so ghastly I can’t fathom what the actual opinion could be. It’s nuts. It honestly would make me feel better about humanity if the author had just asked ChatGPT to comment on RFK jr and hit submit.
In @theatlantic.com the former First Lady advocating healthy lunches is just like the hhs head being an anti vaccine quack killing people. Stop the planet I want to get off.

40% of Republicans think the COVID vaccine killed more people than the COVID virus. One in four believe that QAnon is real. No matter how far they radicalize, we are told over and over again that the people being rude to them are the problem.
Hey, quick question: why didn't you show what he actually posted? Hmmmmmmmmmmm
Trump administration have just released the video of the strike on the Venezuelan vessel. It’s the size of a very small fishing boat, blasted to pieces by multi-million dollar US hardware. It doesn’t look strong. It’s embarrassing.
i solemnly swear we will never publish this dreck on the handbasket
Illinois strengthened its anti-SLAPP law after a nonsensical court ruling excluded news reporting from the law’s protection. This prevents elites from chilling and punishing "constitutionally protected speech, including journalism," we told @kgosztola.bsky.social.
"The GOP is signing on to mass murder of children based on the novel theories of a man who has no party ties except a single Trump endorsement. It is a measure of the party’s utter hollowness, brokenness, and evil that even in this case, it can barely find the resources to demur."
1. Denver Public Schools is doing what some prestigious universities and hospitals refuse to do: Standing up for trans students and refusing to capitulate to Trump's anti-trans demands. "We will fight," says the superintendent, despite funding threats. Subscribe to support our journalism.
Jesus Christ, man -- this ain't it.
REP. MCGOVERN: “What’s going on is Republicans are terrified — And I think we all know why. The president doesn’t want to release all the files.”
also, what do you think people conclude when they hear you say Donald Trump is a "wannabe king" who is "attacking the American people" (both true things Jeffries has said) and also that you want to find common ground with him? Probably that your criticisms are insincere or that you're weak or both
It will be interesting to see whether there is an increase in suicides among teens in Idaho as a result
Drug trafficking is not a capital crime; it doesn’t carry a death sentence. I genuinely cannot think of anything under U.S. law that would permit premeditated government assassination of people suspected of drug trafficking.
Declassified video showing the U.S. committing a war crime when it fired on a civilian vessel near Venezuela. Being suspected of carrying drugs does not carry a death sentence and certainly not without due process.
Just a reminder that Miller has been planning all along for the possibility of sending NG troops from red states into blue states. radleybalko.substack.com/p/trumps-dep...
don’t love shooting a missile at a boat that appears to be just chugging along harming nobody (and, if it contained drugs, could’ve easily been interdicted). really don’t love posting satellite snuff footage of it on social media.
I feel like in the 1980’s/90’s this would be a major plot point in a Tom Clancy novel, and the operation would be carried out as an off-book, illegal black op, with various characters trying to cover it up lest they face congressional hearings. Now the President just announces it.

Here's the video Trump just posted to Truth Social, with the claim that 11 people aboard the boat were killed. There is zero evidence of self-defense here. Looks like a massacre of civilians at sea. Even if they had drugs aboard, that's not a capital offense.
In what universe are trans people "celebrated?" Certainly not this one.
if you are a 40 year old man complaining about being “bullied” on a social media platform, I have great news for you: you are allowed to log off
Long Covid has more than 200 potential symptoms. Selective gullibility is one of mine
Laughing at what being engaged to Cory Booker must be like. Just an endless series of focus tested dinners.
A sitting US congressmen is openly saying this about trans people.
I'm not going to vote for a transphobe. This isn't a "strategy," this is just reality. If people so desperately want my vote for whatever reason, they need to nominate a good candidate.
The FAA’s much-hyped hiring push has attracted thousands of air traffic controller applicants, but now the agency does not have enough qualified instructors to train new recruits.
Pritzker: "I refuse to pretend that any of this is normal ... I refuse to fall into the pundit trap that demands we sacrifice vital constitutional rights if it's being done in the fake guise of fighting crime."
See? This shit is why I'm not going to let up on Newsom or other transphobic Democrats: they might otherwise go the Labour route and plunge the country into full on transphobia as policy.

NEW: A devastating before and after montage of Rasheed Street in Gaza City. Put together by local photojournalist, Motaz Azaiza.
I don't know how president Garber and the leadership of Harvard delude themselves into thinking that abandoning minority students will save this university and what makes it great. They already did the work of dismantling it themselves out of cowardice.
In two years, we went from having the first Black woman president of Harvard to having affinity groups defunded and support for minority students eliminated on campus. History will condemn the cowards in charge who capitulated to white supremacy and the pedophile rapist president.
Every single Savvy Political Insider™ who pretends that Trump's illegal power grabs are just another version of partisan maneuvering and not a true threat to democratic institutions and the country as a whole:
Dangerously, President Trump and HHS Sec. Kennedy are wreaking havoc on our already broken and dysfunctional healthcare system. You don’t make America healthy again by throwing 15 million people off of their health care and undermining science. Secretary Kennedy must resign.
this is the first time a major Democratic elected has actually told his supporters what they can do in the face of this as far as I can tell
Maybe it’s not denial of homeland and national identity, or fundamental health care. I mean it will be. But it’ll also be everything except gas chambers, because they know they don’t need that. They’ll take your home, your job, and your medicine. You won’t live long enough for them to care.
I was definitely blue no matter who in 2020 and 2024. The capitulation to the insurrectionists and Christian nationalists has horrified me consistently since last January. And they keep doing it. And the people who are still blue no matter who do not realize they will throw us all under the bus.1/2
The Dems asked Palestinians to accept a nicer genocide than the one they got and the message most Americans got was, “well it must not be that bad of even the Democrats sound like Trump on this.” It’s the same with trans stuff, it’ll be the same with Muslim stuff, they’ll come for us all one by one.
Pretty accurate, sadly.
Florida also had many more children die from COVID than California. Premature, preventable, death is also a negative educational outcome, it just isn't reflected in test scores.
Motherfucker can't even be bothered to drive upstate.
Anyone that refuses to sign is on it
We gotta strangle this movement in the crib before it lays down any more roots here.
Pritzker: "We've gathered information from unauthorized, patriotic officials inside the government and from-sourced reporters about Donald Trump's plan, which is to deploy armed military personnel to the streets of Chicago."
ive said this before but even well-intentioned cis people see transition as a luxury that is painful to revoke the rights for but not existential. i bet these hospitals would file lawsuits about this if it was about literally any other evidence-supported medical procedure
Oof. The Dems need to stop pretending, based on some imaginary focus group, that there’s some common ground with Trump. The key is to fight everywhere. You should go study Neville Chamberlain’s attempt at “common ground.” It didn’t end well for his historical reputation. Or the world.
Trump: "If you took away tariffs, we could end up being a third world country."

Why expect to legislate with a party that's built a robust, increasingly successful project that seeks to create new realities through executive orders, shadow-docket rulings, mass firings, and every other conceivable means _but_ legislation?
GOP Rep. Thomas Massie filed a discharge petition today to force the disclosure of Justice Department investigative files related to the late sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. Working with Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna, Massie now needs to persuade 216 additional House members to sign it.
the democratic party's bias to normalcy is gonna kill us off. the gop is literally talking about a military junta and the democratic leader is operating like he can just cut a deal with republicans like its normal times.
BREAKING: President Donald Trump said he will order federal law enforcement intervention in Chicago and Baltimore, despite local opposition.

Enact one more transphobic policy, just one more and maybe things will turn around.
