Now that the final 20 Israeli hostages are free, remember: those claiming violence “began on 10/7” want us to ignore that Israel was forced to free 2,000 Palestinians hostages—some 20 years w/o charge—& 8,000 remain.

If Hamas holding 20 is violence—& I agree it is—what is when Israel holds 8,000?🤔

Autism $peaks raised ~$34m in 2024 and spent 1% on family services and grants to help Autistic individuals. They spend approximately 25% of their budget on lobbying and another 25% on research (primarily on genetic testing and causation, i.e. eugenics). They aren’t trying to make our lives better.

This is what Democratic lawmakers need to be doing: not giving up on groups that are unpopular because they've been targeted by hate campaigns, but TEACHING the public why those groups are being targeted and standing up for them.

I am dead serious when I say Mamdani should be assembling a private security force in the event he wins

remember when NYPD kidnapped DiBlasio's kid because he suggested maybe they should murder fewer innocent citizens?

yeah

New article out this month on how doctors become fascists.

50% of German physicians joined the Nazi Party––twice the proportion of any other profession. US doctors today are arguably the most conservative in the world, and we're heading along a similar path.

Domino toppling meme; the tiny one at the beginning says “accidentally only studying captive wolves” and the end one says “grown men losing their shit about eating soy”

"Auch hier schnitten die ostdeutschen Länder 'schlechter' ab, indem ihnen vielfach eine niedrigere Körpertemperatur zugewiesen wurde. Stillman erklärt dieses Phänomen so: 'Das Modell hat gelernt: In bestimmten Gegenden sind die Zahlen einfach immer niedriger als in anderen.'"

yeah i block anyone who talks or “jokes” about picking up guns or inciting violence when i post about protests or anything else.

Trump Administration Will Rehire Scores of Experts Fired in Error

Seeing a lot of celebration of this as a win.

But at NIH we have seen this exact play before.

It looks like it is the Vought strategy -and to stop the lawless firings we have to see the bigger picture.
A 🧵:

So to summarize:

- There is a pattern where Vought makes the RIFs too wide, apparently to flood the zone with sh*t and see who will draw protests.
- They restore some people after outrage and work by us.
- But we are still left with many who remain fired at the end.

If you wanted to get rid the DC office to weaken CDC's presence inside the beltway, to weaken support for CDC in Congress, this is what you would do — fire a shit ton of highly trained professionals who stop infectious diseases due to "coding errors" and then re-hire them, but not the DC office

Wenn ich in den USA wohnen würde würde ich die Städte mit klassischen Such-Plakaten "Missing - Abducted by ICE" vollpflastern.
Weil es um Menschen geht und es nicht normal ist, dass Menschen verschwinden und daran muss erinnert werden.

Douthat is laundering hard core white Christian supremacy into the mainstream, with the NYT's blessing.

This is so damn scary. The book claimed that Jeffrey Epstein was the one who introduced Donald and Melania. Now the CEO of Harper UK is out.

I might end up talking about this graph all day.

I think one thing Dems need to realize is that "Americans" are not buying into the "cities on fire" lies of this admin.

It's JUST Republicans. So if you're a governor of a solidly blue state, or a blue-city mayor, the national story is NOT YOURS.

The reason the Right are so invested in the myth that the arts have no value isn’t because the arts don’t generate wealth (they do); it’s that studying the arts teaches people to imagine better ways of judging the value of an idea than by counting how much money it makes…

The RIAA was suing teenagers. We had to sit through ⬇️ this shit anytime we wanted to watch a DVD. A whole generation shamed for using Limewire and torrents. Only for these silicone valley assholes to now find copyright infringement a necessary evil they shouldn’t have to answer for

Got a recent Pulitzer for warning on the spread of autocracy around the globe, after decades of service to the paper? You can bet your butt you're getting laid off by form email, on Yom Kippur

They won't tho

Das schnellere Erhalten einer #Staatsbürgerschaft hat so hohe Hürden, dass nur die Bestintegrierten sie bekommen. Diesen exzellenten Integrationsanreiz möchte die Bundesregierung wieder abschaffen – mal wieder, um einer AfD-Forderung nachzukommen. www.volksverpetzer.de/aktuelles/st...

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Schwarzer Kreis, oben ein kaum sichtbarer Strich, der 110 Millionen Schaden durch „sozialbetrug“ bedeutet. Der Rest steht für 100 Milliarden durch Steuerbetrug.

just sayin‘

When you could code silly quizzes on Facebook, it was FULL of "what would you be in medieval times?!" etc.

I made one that nearly always answered "died as a child", "died in childbirth", "lived and died as a servant"

People got SUPER mad with it.

Everyone assumes they'll be at the top of the tree

Vegane Wurst darf nicht mehr „Wurst“ heißen, aber BILD „Zeitung“ und die rechtsextreme Partei „Alternative für Deutschland“.

It’s a snarky but accurate header: there’s good reason to believe Trump genuinely doesn’t know what’s going on because of his info sources, and his underlings are enjoying the power vacuum. Multiple levels of evil.

The federal government under Stephen Miller is explicitly trying to start a civil war.

That is my statement.

My statement is simply this: they're using deadly force on unarmed, peaceful civilians. At some point they're going to kill someone on camera, and I do not know that we can control what will happen after that.

My Favorite Actress Is Not Human Tilly Norwood doesn’t need a hairstylist, has no regrettable posts, and if you wish to see a virgin on-screen, this is one of your better chances. That’s because she’s AI. A picture of some AI girl standing on an AI landscape with an AI monster behind her. I'm gonna be so real: she looks about 14 By Tyler Cowen

I'm sorry: "if I wish to see a virgin on-screen"?
