Guess they’re gonna have to tear down all those New Deal buildings and artworks.

For those who don’t study history, we’ve had socialism in America before, it was in response to unbridled wealth hoarding, and it directly led to one of the most prosperous periods the country has ever experienced.

The Olivia Nuzzi Comeback Is Everything Wrong With Modern Media Olivia Nuzzi’s comeback isn’t a personal scandal story—it’s proof that today’s media rewards access, personality, and controversy more than ethics.

"She’s not trying to rebuild her reputation as a journalist—she’s building a different kind of brand entirely, one where being interesting matters more than being ethical, where attention is the only currency that still spends."

The best thing I have read about her. www.mediaite.com/opinion/the-...

Might be controversial but I feel like some researchers on this topic aren't saying this is a possibility enough. Covid is...everywhere and it makes sense that the infections are triggering chronic illness.

The fact that asymptomatic Covid cases can lead to Long Covid IMO probably leads to more people attributing illness to vaccine complications than what could actually occurring, when the underlying problem could be a Covid infection.

RFK Jr. Says He Instructed CDC to Change Vaccines and Autism Language on Website In an interview, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. cited gaps in vaccine safety research. His critics say he is ignoring a larger point: Vaccines save lives.

Breaking News: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he personally instructed the CDC to abandon its position that vaccines do not cause autism. The move underscores his determination to challenge scientific orthodoxy — in this case, that vaccines save lives — and bend the health department to his will.

A tweet from “The Washington Post @washingtonpost” reads: “Exclusive: The U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify the swastika, nooses and the Confederate flag as hate symbols. The military service drafted a new policy that classifies them as ‘potentially divisive.’” Below is an image of a U.S. Coast Guard ship sailing on the water with the Statue of Liberty visible in the background.

They are hate symbols, no matter what the Coast Guard puts in its revised regulations.

This one was pretty interesting, fiction but about the invention of soap operas.

By the end of the year, a new transmission line will be ready to carry 1,200 megawatts of hydropower from Canada to New England.

That's affordable, stable power to cover 20% of Massachusetts electricity needs — and save families and businesses $50 million each year.

Stephen Miller must be so disappointed.

Chart showing detention population, among those arrested in the interior, by criminal record, May 2019 through present. There are three lines shown. (1) Prior conviction (which rises from around 9,000 in January 2025 to just over 16,000 in November 2025), (2) Pending criminal charges (which rises from around 5,000 to 15,000), and (3) No criminal record (which rises from around 1,000 to 21,000).

NEW: ICE has finally released post-shutdown detention data. The latest data reveals that a full 40%(!) of people arrested in the interior and held in ICE detention have no criminal record; no criminal charges or prior convictions. That is up from just 4% when Trump took office.

This classification will make it impossible for students to access federally-backed loans for their studies. Of note: most of these disciplines are pursued by women. This is an attempt to keep women out of the workforce. ALSO, many of these jobs require mandatory reporting of child abuse. Weird, no?

Degrees no longer considered professional by the Department of Education, including teaching, nursing, social work, counseling, business, and engineering.

🧵 Let’s be so effing for real right now. The Department of Education saying these jobs are no longer PROFESSIONAL is dumb as hell and insulting as fuck. It takes YEARS of post-graduate training, including passing certifying exams, to earn degrees in these fields. #fdt #momsky

EU Statement on Equality in response to Trump admin issuing new rules saying DEI infringes on human rights in foreign countries

🔥 BREAKING: A spokesperson for the European Commission messaged me today about the EU's commitment to "equality" in response to the Trump administration issuing new rules saying countries with DEI policies are infringing on human rights. A Commission spokesperson messaged:

Einstein’s iconic equation, E=mc², revealed that mass and energy are two forms of the same thing. This unlocked a new understanding of how the universe works at its most fundamental level.

If you could turn anything into pure energy, what would it be, and why? ⚡️

Phrase of the day Stochastic terrorism Stochastic terrorism is a form of political violence instigated by hostile public rhetoric directed at a group or an individual. Unlike incitement to terrorism, stochastic terrorism is accomplished with indirect, vague or coded language, which grants the instigator plausible deniability for any associated violence.

It's Friday, and apparently bluesky is ready for this fun revelation:

Dinosaurs lived on the other side the Galaxy.

We spent a year investigating billionaires for @washingtonpost.com.

We found: the wealthiest 100 Americans gave $1.1 billion to influence the 2024 elections — 140x more than they did in 2000. And almost all of that giving boosted Republicans.

Unpoopularity 😁

It's a censorship engine designed to promote ideas that Elon Musk likes and suppress ideas that Elon Musk does not like. I really don't get why this evident fact - that Musk openly admits! - is so hard for so many people to understand

This is a long-to-medium-term worry, but I think the fact that we've all just internalized that immeasurably powerful people often just throw tantrums and you shouldn't take anything they say seriously is going to be catastrophic for American civic governance going forward indefinitely.

quietly insidious thing about trump is that his own personal frame for reality has replaced everyone elses. it doesnt matter if the ceasefire in gaza is a farce he got his headline and because thats all he cares about large chunks of us have accepted that its all that actually matters
