we all know that the proof for the administration that an institution is not implementing affirmative action will be the percentage of nonwhite admits. the lower the better. any more than a smattering of black and Hispanic students will be evidence of illegal discrimination (against whites)

If Hegseth is “proud of our history,” why has the military systematically erased the contributions of women and minorities from the DoD website and prevented any celebration of them?

In the abstract there's no inherent connection between crypto and being a malevolent, transgressive asshole. But the two things run together with remarkable consistency.

It makes me deeply angry as a D.C. resident that this fundamentally unserious person with no knowledge of local D.C. issues is now the person in charge of prosecuting most serious crimes committed in the District.

RFK Jr. backs down all the time when he gets push back, so if anyone wants to call, here's the HHS number 1-877-696-6775.
I'd also call your senators/reps as well.

Increasingly understanding "energy dominance" to mean energy authoritarianism. Rooftop and community solar helps democratize energy production, putting money in consumer pockets instead of centralized utilities. Illegally cutting these grants disempowers lower-income communities, in every sense.

I want to host a “MAGA + libs” party where the two sides are not allowed to talk politics. Instead they do an activity, like boardgames. I want to witness the dawning horror as they find themselves getting along

I had a friend for three years I never talked politics with who turned out to secretly be a member of Identity Evropa and was connected to a series of racial terrorism incidents on his campus. He was arrested in Florida last month for trespassing and throwing his soiled underwear at a police officer

For some excellent analysis on the nexus of security and water/heat/climate issues in Iran, check out this great report by my colleague @tomellison123.bsky.social & others:

A fun reminder that a loss of 60,000 jobs in and around academia is ~50% more than all coal mining jobs in the entire country.

World chess just placed restrictions on both trans women and trans men The International Chess Federation will stop allowing transgender women to participate in women's tournaments. The group said changing genders has a "significant impact" on a player's status.

All you need to know about transphobes/terfs/gender critical people is that they think trans people have an unfair advantage in chess.

Hate these clowns so much I’m literally writing a book dunking on them.

Ghislaine Maxwell transferred to less restrictive prison after DOJ meeting Normally, sex offenders like Maxwell are not housed in minimum-security prisons, but she has been moved to one.

Random Venezuelans (most without any criminal convictions) disappeared to a Salvadoran hellhole to be arbitrary detained and abused.

But leniency for a convicted sex offender.

A vivid illustration of the administration's anti-justice, anti-rule of law approach.

the US Dept of Energy tweeted a photo of coal with little sparkles photoshopped on and the words She's an icon She's a legend And she is the moment ✨

DOE climate report response form We are collecting names to assemble a writing team to respond to the DOE climate working group report. If you'd like to contribute, enter your info below. At this point, there is no guarantee what we'll do (if anything), but we want to keep our options open by collecting names. If you have any further questions, feel free to email me. We are primarily looking for Ph.D. scientists at universities or government labs in appropriate fields. I realize that this will exclude some qualified people and I apologize, but we felt this was necessary for a variety of reasons.

🚨 If you're interested in working on a coordinated response to the DOE climate report, please enter your info on this google form 🚨

Please RT this so as many people see it as possible.

Wall Street Journal headline and deck: "New York Shooting Puts Mamdani on the Spot Over Policing Views: The killing of four people in a Midtown office building rattled a city where mass attacks are rare and violent crime has declined."

It's really weird to demand accountability from a NYC mayoral candidate for a deadly NYC shooting rather than the current NYC mayor, an ex-cop who campaigned on a "tough on crime" platform and promptly got indicted for crimes

Scientists Say New Government Climate Report Twists Their Work A new Department of Energy report “fundamentally misrepresents” climate research and leaves out key context, multiple scientists cited in the report tell WIRED.

NEW: i spoke to nine (!) scientists across several disciplines whose work was cited in the new Department of Energy report that downplays the severity of climate change. all of them say their work was misrepresented, cherry picked, and/or lacked context —

This is like catnip for me! I've been working a lot on climate disinformation lately, and my manosphere satire book draft (Chud Buffly's Alpha Male Manhood Manual, coming 2026!) has a chapter on climate/the environment.

Joke's on you, I'm just going to pour my whole body through a Brita filter.

Yes, but again, I will simply note that - as we've now seen with 🇮🇷, 🇪🇺, 🇨🇦, 🇯🇵, etc. etc. - the thing folks need to spend a lot more time pondering, instead of obsessing about the end of 🇺🇸 power/hegemony, is that 🇺🇸 power/hegemony is going to persist in a much uglier, unilateralist, & selfish form.

You can watch this Green Beret describe this experience in his own words to @vanhollen.senate.gov, and for us, and I cried. I’m not sure how you could watch this veteran tell this child’s story and not feel all of the emotions at once.

A good example of how US cuts to climate science and weather forecasting are making people less safe not just at home, but in partner countries around the world.

Navy Set to Unplug Critical Hurricane Satellites this Week Abrupt termination of satellite data by U.S. Department of Defense sends forecasters scrambling for a fix on the brink of the busiest stretch of the hurricane season

If you think I've forgotten about the hurricane satellites, think again. The Navy is permanently unplugging them this week, on the brink of the busiest stretch of the season. There's so much more to this story, and I have the latest scoop. ⬇️

How Israel has controlled food distribution in Gaza from the Wall Street Journal:

Another of those things Israeli officials say over and over again but people just don’t want to take literally or seriously until after it’s already happening. Defense Minister Katz said explicitly, almost as soon as the ground offensive resumed back in March, that parts of Gaza would be annexed:

r/AmlOverreacting u/AlphaDPS1 • 1d AIO Gf left me because I listen to Jordan Peterson podcast So yeah, my girlfriend broke up with me after finding out I listen to Jordan Peterson sometimes. I don't even agree with everything he says, I just find some stuff entertaining or thought-provoking. She said it was a dealbreaker and that it "says a lot" about me. Am I really the one in the wrong here or is this an overreaction? EDIT: Thank you everyone, I will tell her I have stopped watching him EDIT2: She told me to die
