I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

I'm just one person, and my programming needs are somewhat unusual (building various kinds of statistical forecasting models). But I'm just not seeing the consistent productivity gains from LLMs that I would have expected if you'd asked me 6 months ago.

We’ve reported extensively on how the FDA allowed foreign drugmakers to send generic medications to the U.S. from factories with filthy labs and contaminated equipment.

This month, we’re digging deeper and could use your help. THREAD/

i think it is fair to request a statement from @jay.bsky.team on TRANS PEOPLE and where we fit in on @bsky.app.

i think as a transgender journalist, it's acceptable and makes sense for me to ask this

and so, the question, am i not a person as a trans girl and do i not deserve to feel safe here?

Yesterday I was told that the class I’m scheduled to teach this month, Confronting Oppression & Injustice, is no longer part of our curriculum. This is a required class yet there was no discussion, no faculty vote, just an email saying the class no longer exists. This is what it’s like in Texas now.

So now the Administration are saying that the mass firing of CDC scientists, including many responsible for preventing outbreaks, was an β€œerror” and many will be brought back.

Whether by intention or incompetence, dismantling public health will kill people.

Despite what’s happening in the USA, renewables are winning globally Wind and solar power are meeting and even exceeding a global rise in energy demand.

"If you live in the United States, you could be forgiven for thinking that renewable energy is on the outs," writes @zteirstein.bsky.social. But the world is betting on solar and wind, despite Trump's championing of fossil fuels in the US.

Barron Trump tipped for top TikTok job US president’s 19-year-old son could be appointed to the app’s board

Trump said he deserved a cut for brokering the TikTok deal, and at once there was agreement that his son Baron would have a top executive slot... though he hasn't asked for it, and has no apparent qualifications to hold it. This is how Trump 2.0 works. www.telegraph.co.uk/us/news/2025...

Melania lays bare details of private letter from Putin in surprise announcement The first lady said Vladimir Putin had signaled a "willingness to engage with me directly" in an unexpected White House announcement.

The First Lady proudly admits she has been in contact with the Dictator running our greatest enemy, who is at war with Europe, and the media is talking about the deaths of people you never heard of.

What has happened to this country?

Prominent Organizations Join Call for en Banc Rehearing in NCLA Suit Against SEC’s Illegal Gag Rule Washington, DC, Oct. 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Research and advocacy groups have submitted four compelling amici curiae briefs in favor of en banc rehearing at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit in the New Civil Liberties Alliance’s Powell, et al. v. Securities and Exchange Commission case challenging SEC’s β€œGag Rule.” The Gag Rule forbids every American who settles a regulatory enforcement case with SEC from even truthfully criticizing their cases in public for the ...

We filed a brief opposing the SEC "gag rule," which bars those who settle with the SEC from talking to reporters to protect the SEC's reputation.

We shouldn't need to say this, but the government doesn't get to censor its critics to make itself look good.
