And the announcement that Loomer will succeed her.

In a 1971 interview with Playboy Magazine, John Wayne said—among other things—that he "believe[s] in white supremacy." The perfect white supremacist zombie to unearth for the times.

Very interesting article by Brian Recker in @newsweek about the connection between evangelical theology and the cruelty of MAGA politics.

Remember: "Abundance" is a tech far-right political project trying to buy "centrist" support. Friends don't let friends fall for this garbage.

For those who still believe Trump et al. will stop targeting queer communities at some arbitrary point: the National Parks Service erased mentions of trans folks from the Stonewall website first. An attack on one of us is an attack on all.

I didn't know that Andreessen is shilling for the "anti-woke" University of Austin. Here he is, talking with Joe Lonsdale, who was banned from Stanford's campus for reasons I'll let you Google.

When Trump guts mitigation and prevention altogether for US society, then what? Science, research, climate, pandemic & public health, maternal morbidity, you name it.

This kind of media manipulation is difficult to uncover and will be even harder as they will encode ways for the AI system to hide its sourcing to avoid accountability. Every single company partnering with xAI should stop immediately.

“… just 35% of American approve of Trump’s handling of immigration, while 62% disapprove.”

I was honored to serve on the @freepress.bsky.social board with Brandi Collins-Dexter and participate in media policy discussions with her. She was clearly so talented and principled. Her passing is a profound loss for so many and for social justice writ large. uccmediajustice.org/brandi-colli...

Conservative activists have been vying to take ownership stakes in and influence CBS News for 60 years. Would be wild if this is the maneuver that finally does it.

My read on this is that a number of people that needed to touch the hot stove to find out if it is hot have touched the hot stove and found out it is hot

Great read @zey.bsky.social. Musk baits his followers & Grok to make controversial, politically incorrect statements. The training language is nearly identical to his own tweets, as he invites users to be more inappropriate so the LLMs can train off that language. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/11/o...

They're gonna find out

Nothing like having a business-friendly businessman in the White House, finally! Too bad he's a malignant narcissist! Can't win 'em all!

so like, was the thought that people wouldn't look into this thing that they encouraged everyone to obsess over for six years

“The most lucrative company in Vance's portfolio is Anduril, which has received an eye-popping $220 million in government contracts since Trump and Vance took office and seen a 125% increase in its valuation. It is expected to reap massive new contracts from the so-called ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ …”

James David Vance stands to profit from Trump military contracts, crypto reserve. "Financial disclosures analyzed by Accountable.US reveal that the vice president is invested in several defense contractors that have reaped lavish contracts since Trump's return to office.”

Gisele Fetterman spent a solid chunk of her BOOK TOUR interview calling stories about Senator Fetterman's erratic job performance "clickbait" and defending her visit to Mar-a-Lago. And complaining about how people criticize other people for rubbing shoulders with fascists. Her BOOK TOUR.

It just keeps getting worse. I wrote about the dangers that concentrated media ownership and conglomeration pose to democracy in @thenation.com earlier this week: www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Genuinely thought this was an Onion headline at first

Harvard being Harvard, so really nothing new here. Still, the irony is that the Harvard Department of Government played a major role in the (first) rise and success of neoconservatism.

The Bongino saga is one of my absolute favorite tragic Trump II character arcs to date

5+ months after we released research hypothesizing that the pro-Russia Pravda network was grooming LLMs to spit out propaganda, even "reasoning" models are still citing the network. Proud to publish this piece with AI critic @garymarcus.bsky.social! americansunlight.substack.com/p/bad-actors...

The funny thing about articles like this is they're mostly written by people who came here, posted a shitty opinion, and then everybody argued with them

There is literally not one person in this story who is not a bad guy

“The restraining order, if granted, would prevent the Trump admin from removing Abrego Garcia to a third country without proper notice and an opportunity to challenge his removal.” “The concern that we have here is that he’ll be gone in a blink and never to be heard from again,” an attorney said.

It’s almost like the firehose of super-amped false narrative can’t sustain itself when there is no actual fire to point it at

Tucker Carlson interviewed George Santos and I don't know who should be more embarrassed.

Certain slime moulds can make decisions, solve mazes and remember things. What can we learn from the blob?

The MAGA Murder Budget’s monstrous ICE spending is Stephen Miller’s wish come true, gutting healthcare and food assistance for millions of Americans in order to fund for-profit detention camps and masked kidnappings targeting our immigrant neighbors: americasvoicecnn.substack.com/p/the-big-ug...

Do we think Trump's gonna throw toilet paper rolls to crowds of Texans today, or

The Übermensch fantasy 🙄

Think how much sooner public opinion could have come around to these numbers if the press had actually covered the human cost of deportations under Biden, Trump I, and Obama...

1/ If you can differentiate a legit #Labubu from a knockoff #Lafufu then you can separate legit news posts from fabrications! The popular toy has created a movement around authenticating real Labubus from counterfeits. That's great.

Surge in U.S. Concern About Immigration Has Abated - 30% of Americans want immigration decreased, down from - 55% a year ago Record-high - 79% consider immigration good for the country Support down for border wall, mass deportation news.gallup.com/poll/692522/...

Bongino is gonna make sure that if anyone gets fired over this, it's Pam Bondi. #LoveItWhenTheyFight

I am having a very hard time managing my fury listening to Gisele Fetterman doing a media circuit on a book tour for a book about a politics of "tenderness." She's clearly a kind-hearted person but it tries my patience hearing her talk about tenderness while partnered with a genocide advocate

These images and video coming out of California are a view of the republicans fascist advance and its unfolding war against America. Anyone claiming we can beat this through non violence and voting alone is lying. The republicans are at war against us and people need to act like it.

The DOJ claimed it released 11 hours of “full raw” footage from a camera near Epstein’s prison cell the night before he was found dead. But @dmehro.bsky.social discovered the footage was modified, likely using Adobe software and came from at least two source clips www.wired.com/story/metada...

"There was never a literal railroad, but the term stuck because it resonated with strange grace and radiance. Wherever the term came from, once America had seized upon it, it became a powerful metaphor."

That's MY representative Trump's White House is misrepresenting!!!

just one more order of restraint bro. just one more order will fix it. i swear bro just one more order of restraint.

The IRS decision to let churches get into partisan politics could very well be worse than Citizens United.

years ago, I debated the Johnson Amendment, that crucial rule that prevents nonprofits and churches from wading into partisan elections. If you want to understand what's at stake and why Trump's IRS decision is a disaster for our democracy, here's a link: youtu.be/IKWI3a5YJCY&...

“The list is by no means exhaustive, but it should serve as a good guide to get you started if you’re looking. And always remember, if you can’t donate your time or skills, these organizations can always use your financial donations.”

I'm reading this new(ish) textbook and it's such an incredible project and resource. Not only is it the most constructive guide to doing (good) qualitative research I know, all of its contributors are women or nonbinary/genderqueer. Love it! Great job Jennifer Cyr & @saragoodman.bsky.social 👏

Someone: Look at this amazing original medieval art piece showing Saint Maurice! Me: Yes, pretty cool but made by South African artist Mnqobi Nyathikazi in 2019. I love reverse image search tools.

Tom Homan talks like a good ol' boy who's black-out drunk and 5 seconds from projectile vomiting in an alley, from the slurred speech to the confused aggression to the unvarnished, naked racism

What this shipwreck teaches about the horrors of slavery

Even in places where there are "sanctuary laws," police are always cooperating with ICE. It's simply impossible not to.

The apotheosis of the Law Enforcement Baronial Class -- discretion, left in the hands of those who celebrate violence and coercive control, leads to catastrophic consequences for the rest of us. No one is immune.

I'm curious what percentage of Texans have fully disabled emergency alerts solely because they're also used for "Blue Alerts", which alert your phone if a police officer has been hurt anywhere in the state in the last 5 days or so.

Hello MAHA! Are you disillusioned over this? Have you spent time around Kash Patel and a certain DC crypto kingpin? Let's talk! I’m mlm335 on Telegram or mandawritesthings at proton dot me. You can DM me here for Signal. I will not publish your name.

In part it may be about reputation but even that is perhaps downstream of the administration’s cratering popularity. The “left wing Joe Rogan” wishcasting assumed that these guys lead their audiences whereas they clearly work very hard on not losing them

tbh the fact that the entire judiciary has been operating on the assumption that the state isn't lying, just to preserve the collegiality of the cocktail hour, is a disgrace to the supposedly adversarial justice system

First Amendment on the fritz with journalists in the crosshairs while trying to do their jobs. Arrest, detention, retaliation, threats to public media. We’ll dig in today to the exhaustive & often unconstitutional attacks on press freedom today at the Nat’l Assoc. of Hispanic Journalists conference:

Had a lot of fun with @rachelgilmore.bsky.social on this one.

Immigration authorities under Trump — the first U.S. president convicted of a felony — revive hardline tactics to revoke status from legal immigrants accused of any offense or political alignment deemed threatening: migrantinsider.com/p/green-card...

It is a racial purity police force.

Last September Tucker Carlson hosted far-right streamer Darryl Cooper aka MartyrMade on his show to discuss the 'true history of WW2'. Tucker called him "the best & most honest popular historian in the US". On a podcast yesterday Cooper discussed the supposed Jewish subversion of Gentile societies

the Germans needed Romania because they had oil reserves in Europe, there wasn't wide knowledge/ability to extract the oil in the Middle East at the time the German military was a SHAMBLES, didn't even have universal replaceable parts till way too late in the war

Bille Jean King is an absolute treasure. I've had the privilege of meeting her on a couple of occasions, and she's even better in person than her public persona suggests — kind, generous, funny. Listen to her, and listen to trans people.

Beike found the most important archaeological find ever, but it's a lot smaller and in worse condition than I imagined it would be... and it made Beike act a bit weird...

The silence of FEMA's David Richardson around Texas is less confusing when you consider that the Administration wants to eliminate FEMA. Everything we've heard since January seems to indicate he's more concerned about brow-beating the rank and file than actually responding to disasters.

Getting a lot of compliments on the toddler's @robsheridan.bsky.social "Eat The Rich" tee

great article by Drew. I have a lot of thoughts about this from a book chapter I've been working on: the "black box" argument is at the center of the *huge accountability gap* opened by AI and violates the basic temporal and informational assumptions embedded in representative government.

Read this entire thread. There's lots of legal wrangling in here, but it's extraordinary. Abrego Garcia, who was deported to El Salvador and tortured, is seeking assurances he won't be kidnapped and deported again, with zero due process, if released from prison. The state won't commit to that.

Raised for war, choosing peace.

This is true and important -- Also sheriffs tend to me more conservative and use more force. See Chad Bianco

GO AWAY

Yes, they literally are trying to kill as much of the population as they can. It is a pro eugenics social Darwinist movement that sees America as “mindless eaters” that must be “culled” so the strongest can survive. MAHA and the rights plan is literal autogenocide and social murder at scale

A good reminder that immigration numbers were always moveable if you stand for principles and, you know, do politics. I hope Democrats are taking notes from the brave people in the streets standing against masked ICE thugs.

I think this is right. It's not the news orgs that are keeping that place relevant. It's that the politicians, celebrities, athletes, artists, etc are all still there. I think a lot of people really overestimate how many people actually keep up with the news. It's abysmal and worse by the day.

Really hard to convey just how bad this is going for the Trump admin... can't pull the "deep state" excuse so easily now that they've shed 250k+ federal workers and worked overtime to concentrate gov't power in the Oval Office. www.yahoo.com/news/o-reill...
