I read an almost 800 page book about the Black Plague, but I don't really recommend it. (Reading about sickness when you're sick. The book was great though.)
🚨🚨🚨 EXCLUSIVE: Full-price 2026 #ACA premium rate hikes to average 23.4% nationally (semi-final): acasignups.net/25/09/02/exc...
It’s crazy that what comes after neoliberalism is just 19th century imperialism 2
Somebody is throwing things out of a window of the White House wtaf
only so many words you can put in a headline but the whole response is loud and proud support for the trans community and worth reading
NEW: An NBC News joint interview with six women who say they were sex trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein or convicted co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell. www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol... They want Trump to release the Epstein documents and not pardon Maxwell.
If you really DID have evidence they were smuggling contraband to the US and DID care about stopping the flow of contraband into the US, you would arrest these low-level alleged smugglers and try to work up the chain. But that's now that these murders are about. It's fascist porn.
I hope when Kevin Costner dies his obituary identifies him as “American Actor Who Portrayed White Characters”
NEW: Politicians of both parties are pushing to expand forced hospitalization. In many cases, cops w/ minimal training fill out forms attesting that people are a danger to themselves or others. In Chicago, police forcibly hospitalize 6 people a day. It's how over 20% of CPD mental health calls end.
IAGS said what Qasim and we’ve been saying since October 7th.
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.
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.
Folks spend way too much time lecturing trans people and Palestinians about what they gotta say and do to be treated like people with human rights
IMO many Americans don't even buy guns for personal protection or to defend themselves against a tyrannical government. They simply have a shopping addiction
Leonard Leo ally Tim Busch has called SCOTUS the “Leo Court,” explaining that Trump “radically changed” the direction of SCOTUS by appointing (anti-abortion) justices “shepherded” by Leo, who he says is “one of the big supporters of the Napa Institute” (founded by Busch). 1/
While Perry acknowledged that his words “did hurt some folks” and said he was “sorry for that,” statements like Perry’s could be used in court to prove discriminatory intent behind the GOP’s mid-decade gerrymander.
NEW: After Democracy Docket resurfaced a 2022 video of a Texas GOP lawmaker suggesting a way to deal with immigrants might be to “shoot, shovel and shut up,” he issues an apology on the Senate floor. From: @yuniorarivas.bsky.social
again we’re seeing how the glide path toward authoritarian overreach here is disrupted by regular people than by big institutions or the powerful people who run them
This guy gets it. This is the way.
If it’s under Title 32 authority, the Texas guard remains under state control. That would mean that one state is deploying armed forces into the territory of a non-consenting state. And that’d clearly be a violation of the principle that states are co-equal, territorially limited sovereigns.
As many as 100 survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and other victims of sexual abuse are expected to attend a rally Wednesday in Washington, D.C. as a bipartisan Congressional effort gains steam to force the U.S. Department of Justice to make public its controversial files on the disgraced sex trafficker.
stephen miller targeting mexican independence day celebrations, anything you want to say about this man is correct
So #RFKJr is a liar. He's a charlatan. @kasie.bsky.social catches him here and it's wonderful to watch. We need more of this. Do not give this man any credibility. He's a huckster with famous name and is destroying public health and science in America. Spread the word.
Stopped on my way to Soulcycle to record an HSI, Park Police, and MPD arrest downtown, and some HSI guys waited until they were in their unmarked car to tell me to smile more.
“well this is certainly a bold departure from political norms!” as they are marched to the gulag
I know, I know, but: The president of the US saying, literally, "we're going in" in reference to sending the military to an American city for no reason beyond terrorizing the local population should be the most immediately impeachable shit imaginable
That Pritzker press conference was... surreal, and I think marks a significant moment of escalation in the constitutional omni-crisis. This was the governor of a state saying plainly the Union itself is being torn apart and his state is being militarily invaded by an authoritarian regime.
If Tapper and Thompson really believed what they said about a massive cover up of Biden’s infirmities, you would expect reporters to never make that mistake again. ... But here we are in the middle of the near-total absence of *any* serious & sustained reporting on Trump’s visible infirmities.
you'd think the governor of illinois basically going "we're being invaded by an authoritarian" would be something you'd see real easy on the front page of most everything an hour later
The president is sending the military to control American cities and if you're a reporter who's framing that illegal power grab as "pushing the boundaries of constitutionality" or "acting boldly to fight crime" or whatever, please go find another line of work where you won't get us all killed.
Individually we can only do so much but together we can do more.
thank you for coming to my big announcement that was planned for weeks and not thrown together at the last second to get ahead of speculation that my health is in decline. alabama (taking a huge huff of a mysterious gas like dennis hopper in blue velvet) is in charge of space
"they need to learn that they need to follow the rules as well."
You don’t find “common ground” with fascists. You build power to defeat them. This is the main reason why I believe fascism at the Federal level in the US will last generations.
The millionaire CEO who stole a hat from a child at the US Open is, ultimately, indicative of the whole ruling class. This is what we’re up against, a small number of people and a system that will gladly and unapologetically steal from children and from all of us. www.jphilll.com/p/who-steals...
o ok
All of this feels like a huge cashout where they're recruiting their friends to cash out with them. Statsig also raised at a $1.1bn valuation in May, so this is a flat/all-stock acquisition. Wonder if that $1.1bn gets cashed in in the $8bn stock oAI sale? www.geekwire.com/2025/statsig...
Nearly 70% of Americans now believe the American dream doesn't hold true or never did, the highest in 15 years of polling on this topic. www.wsj.com/economy/wsj-...
Gen AI challenges the idea that tech under capitalism means increased productivity, so trade unions should demand a greater share of the benefits. It reveals instead the underlying truth of an all out attack on workers and planet, and a lust for for power at any cost.
Trump: "Without the United States, everything in the world would die ... I settled seven wars."
"President starts low-level conflict by trying to get Nobel Peace Prize" is the funniest story going, can't get enough
you can see that there is still a major discoloration on Trump's right hand
He couldn't remember the name of his golf club. lmao.
So long, A23a. 🥹
Bro is really starting to resemble this image
"You are not more powerful than Twitter’s algorithm." This is it. This is the whole ballgame. I do not understand how people don't get this.
Look guys, the martial law is temporary. It’s just a brief vacation from having any rights.
If you no longer have a Twitter account you can anonymously read this compelling analysis from Adam Cochran on Trump likely having TIA strokes followed by a larger stroke on Nitter (this 🧵⬇️ links to an additional worthwhile 🧵 by the same person): nitter.poast.org/adamscochran...
I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Darin. Darin was studying business administration and her husband Fesal was studying accounting. Darin gave birth to their little girl Lareen during the war. They’ve lost everything and Lareen was injured by shrapnel recently. They need help ❤️
For a group that screams about protecting the children, Republicans do everything in their power to make sure kids die 😡

Anybody else find it weird that MAGA is hell-bent on protecting women and girls from imaginary trans women but doesn't seem to care about protecting women and girls from real cis men? floridianpress.com/2025/08/d-c-...

Mexico’s most powerful drug cartels, in an arms race with authorities and each other, are amassing military-grade weapons. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/w...
Just awful and sadly not the first time that we've seen kids killed for harmless pranks or just ringing the wrong doorbell. But seriously - the ding dong ditch prank "POPULARIZED ON TIKTOK"?!!??!?! Our grandparents pulled this prank!!
What these Schatz posts say to me is that Dem elected officials like him seem incapable of perceiving the right as a *political movement.* The response to Covid mitigation and the Floyd protests was not a spontaneous reaction...it was a right wing backlash organized by a reactionary movement.
Jerry Nadler ends his remarkable career, conceding that his brand of politics on the Middle East is over. “I don’t know what to say at this point,” he said. “I can’t defend what Israel is doing.” www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/n...
On September 1, 2025, we lost a true legend. Graham Greene, Oneida from Six Nations Reserve, walked on at the age of 73. Over the span of more than 175 acting credits, he gave us characters that were unforgettable, complex, and real. redpopnews.com/remembering-... #redpopnews
His role in Maverick is a powerhouse comedy scene-stealer that just gets funnier and funnier with time and context. RIP to one of the great original That Guys.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. filling an IV bag from a murky puddle near Trump National's sixth tee. "The president needs parameciums," he tells the assembled media. "It's the only treatment proven to work in real testing." His golf cart is piled high with dozens of dead birds.
Good news about the cutting-edge AI tools from the $3-trillion-dollar company.
To gauge how it’s “working,” one would have to be clear on what the actual work is, which is not helping to educate children but rather to imbed these systems in a way that they cannot be removed, establish them as a source of truth, and destabilize labor.
Not gonna belabor this too much, but it’s important to understand that Newsom’s public messaging sucks for *two* reasons: it serves as an advertisement for Trump by aping his tone and content, and it also reminds us that Newsom has no principles other than seeking power & attention. This is failure.
Republicans: “Stop making everything about race.” Really? White people enslaved Black people for generations, stole Native land, lynched and segregated us, burned down Black communities that thrived, and treated Mexican land & labor like property to be taken. America already made it about race.
Did the White House hire Kate Middleton’s PR team?? 😬
Literally haven't seen this mentioned on any of my socials but Indonesia has erupted after a cop ran over a delivery courier.
A woman’s mission was to save a man from death row — by telling the story of his life. Read our comic to learn how:
I was reminded of this event in histor and re-read this article and...boy...it's depressing. How is this ever going to end? They've got the whole world by the balls israelpalestinenews.org/when-george-...
MORE: Sparkle Sooknanan is still awake -- and she wants a fourth status report from DOJ. The judge orders the government to update her when all putative class members have been returned to ORR custody.
Every time somebody says that stupid “purity test” thing about Newsom, I ask if we can have it be their life we throw away instead of trans kids and the unhoused and somehow none of the people who complain have decided that they should be sacrificed instead? Strange. Suddenly we’re picky.
Unemployment for Black Americans has surged to 7.2%, the highest level since October 2021, when the job market was still recovering from the pandemic. The drop in employment is a warning sign. @wsj.com www.wsj.com/economy/jobs...
I hope people read these stories and are encouraged to take their own action: wagingnonviolence.org/2025/08/la-u...
100% this. Unfortunately, that circle also fits fully inside another circle of people immune to feeling shame about their hypocrisy.
A screenprint version of this popular image from Justseeds comrade John Fleissner! This print was originally created for students in Los Angeles leading walkouts against ICE raids. justseeds.org/product/no-p...
replacing Batman fight onomatopoeiae with old midwestern brewery names
I want to highlight that this is a centre-right journalist writing in the most mainstream newspaper in Canada asking: “Donald Trump is on the brink of becoming a dictator. Can he be stopped?”
This is a great time to remind everyone that EOs aren’t laws, the federal government doesn’t manage voting in this way, and it’s all a scare tactic and any reporting that doesn’t provide that context is enabling potentially lawless activity.
The death of old Twitter and the loss of so many threads and interactions as people deleted their accounts is honestly a catastrophe for history.
“ILLEGALS” MY ASS! Green card holder Rami Othmane speaks out after being snatched off the street by ICE while driving to the grocery store. He’s a documented immigrant and the husband of Dr Wafaa Alrashid, chief of staff at a local hospital. He was locked in detention for 13 days.
Who voted for war with Venezuela?
Even before I lost my mother this year, these stories chilled me to the bone. A monstrous agglomeration of tech exploiting grief. The dead are meant to stay dead, they did all they were meant to; our grief aside. To provoke the dead to a form of ‘life’ with genAI is asking for trouble.
NEW: my office has received disturbing whistleblower reports that the Trump administration plans to separate 700 children from their families, lawyers, and support systems. Disappearing vulnerable children beyond the reach of American law and oversight is beyond depravity.
Life for Palestinians in Gaza has gotten worse under Trump, not better. So where are Jill Stein and Cornel West now? They aren’t leading protests in DC outside the White House, no rallies. Almost like the whole 2024 thing was just performative.
These are my patients. Kids dying of brain cancer. Kids and families desperate for treatment and hoping to find a cure through experimental therapies. Trump is dismantling science and children with brain tumor are the victims. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/28/w...
If the Pete is Mo, you got a good bro If the Pete is Thiel, fascist forreal
If you had told me in 2012 that Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign manager would be posting like this 13 years later i would not have believed you
Le Guin knew what she was talking about …
Let’s all place bets on what RFK Jr. identifies as the “causes” of autism in his upcoming blockbuster reveal. I’ll take the low-hanging fruit and go with vaccines and heavy metals. What he won’t acknowledge is the overwhelming contribution of genetics, because he can’t sue someone over that.
“We should abandon people in rural areas and the south cause they voted for Trump” Wow I guess they should have just kept segregation too cause “they” voted for it or something. Fuck the minorities in those communities right! Idiot
A useful thing to consider might be how many black women got Mississippi appendectomies or black men were left to go thru preventable syphilis until they died. White supremacy has never valued or had health based resources for the majority of USians thru most of US history.
Joe Biden’s no longer president so the media has moved on from caring about such things Much like inflation and budget deficits
From Public Notice ... "Without irony or shame — and to absolve their followers of any guilt or responsibility — Trump wants to whitewash America’s original sin."
This is a really, really good article. I highly recommend it
i find this image so fascinating. it is both a literal example of authoritarianism but also a second-hand reproduction of the aesthetics of other authoritarian states. it's like a simulacra of authoritarianism whose purpose is to attempt to make the simulacra real.
“It does not matter if you’re a citizen, here on a green card, or visiting Las Vegas for the weekend — you shouldn’t have to fear retaliation because the government doesn’t like what you have to say.”
For example, Gavin Newsom is in a mimetic rivalry with Trump. Where does it end? Who has the most power to keep escalating? Who wins when crazy is the norm? Imitation/flattery, etc. (Mimetic rivalry is all about escalation. Hate to be a buzzkill, but reality is a thing, too)
