I mean, look, I'm not a reporter, so who am I to talk?

But on a day where the president both just called a woman reporter "Piggy" and is celebrating someone who had people bone saw apart one of my colleagues, I might just be a little ready to defend my colleagues and profession.

But that's just me

Ruby Bridges and John Roberts would have been in the same grade!! It's not that subtle why he's devoted his life to re-establishing segregation!

Trump administration touts moves to provide HIV prevention drug, but refuses to include South Africa The US has started to provide doses of a Gilead HIV prevention drug to low-income countries, but the program will not include South Africa, officials said.

What is there to say anymore?

This is abhorrent behaviour.

The industry’s plan is to become infrastructure so they can get bailed out. That’s why they ink money-losing deals with organizations and governments: the AI companies want to be too big to fail so that they’ll get rescued from bankruptcy. And after the last 15 years, why wouldn’t they think that?

Acquaint yourself with the major antisemitic conspiracy theories.

Don't automatically discount it when left Jews tell you that you've done a dogwhistle, even if you didn't intend it.

These are trencherous waters.

Oppose genocide, *and.*

Do not do the Nazis' work for them.

Israel is engaged in genocide, it is a genocide materially assisted by the US, and AIPAC is the biggest lobby pushing for that material assistance to continue.

AND.

We need to proactively address anyone trying to exploit these realities and justified anger to advance or engage antisemitism.

I cannot overemphasize that Marjorie Taylor Greene, Carlson, and Fuentes see a 2028 path to victory that involves building an isolationist populist coalition that traffics heavily in antisemitism and exploits existing negative sentiment against Israel.

We have to be SHARP on the left right now.

Think about it this way:

Why exactly is it possible to attack Trump with Epstein but not possible to attack Kamala Harris with Epstein?

It’s kind of important

KEEP SHARING YOUR STORIES about increased ACA premiums due to the disappearance of subsidies. The stories clearly are having an impact, they help people feel less helpless, and they create solidarity that leads to action.

Mine went from $395β†’ $821. What happened for you?

To Deny The Role of Social Media In Propagating Misinformation is a Form of Germ Theory Denial, Not For Pathogens, But For Ideas MAHA disinformation agents clearly understand the power of social media, and anyone who genuinely wishes to oppose them moving forward needs to as well.

Some lofty critics claim it is not worthwhile to discuss juvenile behavior online by MAHA doctors and their volunteer defense attorneys.

Here’s why they are very wrong- featuring the must read work of @noupside.bsky.social

Cassidy pitches his alternative to extending extra ACA subsidies Cassidy wants to replace enhanced ACA subsidies with payments to health savings accounts.

Policy merits or demerits aside, it is logistically impossible to set up a brand new HSA scheme in the next six weeks. I suspect it could prove logistically impossible to execute in the next six months.

People are picking their plans for 2026 between now and January 15.

Relevant now: "Exposure to a field-specific faculty sexual misconduct incident decreases degree completion in that field by 3.4 percent four years after the incident. This decline is driven by incidents occurring after 2015, among which we observe a 7 percent decline in in-field degree completion."

Donald Trump Snaps at Female Reporter Who Asks About Epstein Files: 'Quiet Piggy' Donald Trump Says 'Quiet Piggy' to Female Reporter Asking About Epstein Files

I don't understand why this isn't the only story and why he isn't giving his resignation.

I mean, I do. But still.

How can the president. THE PRESIDENT. Of the United States of America. The. President.
