Listen to this. Not a penny more for this. Abolish and prosecute anyone who had anything to do with it.

"This is Mia, 7 years old -- 'I don't want to be in this place. I want to be in my school'" -- Walkinshaw confronts Lyons with letters written by kids being detained by ICE

The following is REAL footage from Portland, 2025. Viewer discretion is advised.

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA

10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

big sigh of relief as the updated calendar event says the rapture has been pushed to next week

Every now and then I remember the early 2000s fora I was on, and the way in which, in Jungian parlance, the Shadow would manifest really quite easily. That is, there'd be a point at which the system of interconnected communications would very visibly display unconscious biases and...

The “problem” with vaccines? They so effective at preventing deaths that they create generations of people that question whether disease was a problem in the first place because they have never experienced the horrors of a world without vaccines.

ICE has masks and weapons— but the people are mighty.

Excellent question. The answer, sadly, is that Trump doesn’t give a damn about what’s best for America.

Young men are constantly presented with models of what a successful, fulfilling life entails, and somehow it's always a dim photo of a raging asshole.

Make this make sense. 🤷🏼‍♂️

I had a few moments to dig into the “MAHA Report”. Let me begin by saying that if an undergraduate student attempted to submit this pile of garbage as a paper, they would fail the assignment.

It a superficial, agenda-driven document that ignores any scientific work that doesn’t fit that agenda.

As you assess the DEAL we're striking with Korea, remember: We ALREADY have an active free trade agreement with Korea that provides tariff free trade in nearly everything.

Expect this new agreement to... Provide for tariff free trade in nearly everything.

Just like 6 weeks ago.

Good time to subscribe to Wired. I used to think of it as a guilty pleasure at the newsstand, a holdover from nerdy youth. But they are doing an excellent job covering key elements of our political reality.

My cousin just got a union job and he's never felt this level of financial security in his life before. He's about to have his second kid and he has good health insurance and a pension in 20 years.

Couldn't have happened to a better dude. I'm so happy for him. 🎉 🎉 🎉

I don't really care what the "political consequences" are of fighting for the proposition that *everyone* is entitled to due process before they are removed from the United States and sent to a Salvadoran prison.

It's not really a principle if you only adhere to it when it's politically expedient.

I’m no economist, but…

Have an evening timeline cleanse 🤍

Let's do the thing that triggered the Great Depression. Except more

might as well cut the 2026 ads now about how every Republican member of Congress gave their total and unreserved backing to the Trump tariffs.

"If America hasn’t broken your heart, you don’t love Her enough.”

China, Japan, South Korea will jointly respond to US tariffs, Chinese state media says China, Japan and South Korea agreed to jointly respond to U.S. tariffs, a social media account affiliated with Chinese state broadcaster CCTV said on Monday.

This is fine, right?

So, the DOGE kids intend to rewrite the social-security administration's COBOL code-base!

and they want to do it ...

... in *a few months*

I did a huge dive into COBOL a few years ago (www.wealthsimple.com/en-ca/magazi...) ...

... so let me explain why DOGE is *way* over its skis here

The image is a heatmap titled "Measles," showing measles cases across U.S. states from 1928 to 2003. States listed on the y-axis include Alaska, Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Kansas, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, Montana, North Dakota, New Hampshire, New York, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. The x-axis spans years from 1928 to 2003. A vertical line marks the introduction of the measles vaccine around 1963. The color scale at the bottom ranges from blue (0 cases) to red (4,000+ cases), with shades of green, yellow, and orange indicating intermediate values (1,000, 2,000, 3,000 cases). Before 1963, many states show frequent high case numbers (yellow to red), while after 1963, cases drop significantly, with mostly blue indicating near-zero cases.

And yet Joe Rogan puts guests on who say "Vaccines aren't actually responsible for the reduction in infectious diseases.”

Today I am yelling at the clouds. They’re here for it.

If you think what happened to Rumeysa Ozturk can't happen to you because you're a citizen and she's not, you are sorely mistaken. Ozturk was snatched off the street not for being a national security threat but for having a wrong opinion. If we don't put a stop to this, it's coming for all of us.

To anyone who is not clear: The First Amendment protected Rumeysa Ozturk when she published her op-ed. The same way it has protected me.

Rule of law means that we should be treated equally.
