If you haven’t cried on the Arroyo Seco, at some point, are you even really an Angeleno? 😁

This is why @defendpublichealth.bsky.social includes combating scientific misinformation as a major pillar in our report entitled Improving the Health of Americans Together, or IHAT. You can read it here if you are interested.

A lot of science fiction and shady government projects have been centered on “brainwashing” or getting people to do or say stuff that they wouldn’t normally.

Well, it’s here, and disinformation from right wing influencers is a huge component.

Some may be saying, “yes, we knew this”, but we don’t really know know until we see data like these.

And something we may not have known that this paper shows is that once a person gets into the right wing silo, we’ve lost them. Changing to the chronological feed does not bring them back.

There have been similar studies for the YouTube algo for years now. Algos, as currently designed for social media, are generally good for tech companies precisely because they are bad for users.

Anita Anand * @AnitaAnandMP. 15h Yesterday marked the final flight operated by Canadian airlines from Cuba. Thank you to all Canadian airline workers who helped bring more than 27,900 travellers safely back to Canada. If you are still in Cuba, some commercial flights remain available through international airlines. Please consider departing while options are still available. You can find the latest advice and updates here:

Meanwhile, NYT analysis shows that the Trump administration has established an effective blockade of Cuba and is pushing it toward a humanitarian crisis.

NYT: A Texas investor with ties to the Trump family said he had signed a deal with a Russian company to develop natural gas in Alaska. The Kremlin has been promoting investment opportunities with Russia since Trump returned to office.

The most shocking thing about this decision: 3 Justices would have let Trump use a statute that doesn’t mention tariffs to impose unrestricted ones.

I lovelovelove San Antonio! So many great places to eat & shop, and an awesome music scene! So many genuinely nice folks, too.

One of my favorite places to drive 😁😁😁

Women’s restroom at Dallas Love Field has FREE menstrual products (pads and tampons)! The dispenser has a sign stating they shouldn’t need to be purchased — AGREED!

Tamer Nahed 𓂆🇵🇸 @Tamer_Alnoaizy BlueSky is one of the worst platforms I have ever dealt with. Within seconds of creating a second account, after my first one was shut down just two days after it was created, my account was closed again. This happened despite the fact that I hadn’t posted anything or followed anyone. I was only in the process of adding a profile photo, yet I received an email claiming that my account was “spam” and that it was “causing harm.” What kind of logic is this? The painful truth is that the account was shut down the moment it became clear it was created from inside Gaza. It seems we are no longer allowed to write or speak about what is happening to us here. They are not afraid of content itself, but of our voices and the reality we carry with us. Millions are spent to silence these voices and to erase the truth. I am exhausted by this platform and by how our photos and videos, which document real suffering, are treated as “violations of community standards,” as if pain itself has become a crime. What is happening is not simple moderation or policy enforcement. It is an attempt to erase our existence and bury the truth. And honestly, this is shameful and unbearably painful. [the original poster has included two screenshots showing the email from bluesky admin informing him that his account has been taken down for being 'spammy, inauthentic or disruptive to users'. it's the standard boilerplate you get when they take moderation action.] 2:45 PM · Feb 10, 2026 https://twitter.com/Tamer_Alnoaizy/status/2021234178461704409

palestinian journalist posting on twitter that his bluesky account was immediately taken down purely because he was in gaza. all palestinian accounts are assumed to be spam.

Conservatives using anti trans talking points and other anti-trans freaks are continuing Epstein's work. And should be treated with the same kindness and respect due Jeffrey Epstein.

2/2

Jeffrey Epstein and Steve Bannon both helped start the modern anti-trans moral panic to distract from their paedophilia.
That is a fact. As documented in the files.
Also a fact is they hoped it would drive some trans people to sex work and into their arms.
Also a fact documented in the files.

RFK Jr.’s Picks for a Key Autism Panel Include Advocates for Bizarre Theories Among those Robert F. Kennedy Jr. recently named to a federal autism committee are people who tout dangerous treatments and say vaccine manufacturers are “poisoning children.”

• A doc sued for prescribing a debunked autism therapy
• A man who says vaccines are “poisoning children”
• A woman boosting autism "treatments" using stem cells from rabbits

This is not a QAnon conference line-up, it is the people now guiding US autism research

🚨 New research: FIRST EVER county-level study of racial disparities at the arrest-to-court transition in CA. In county after county, arrests of Black & Hispanic individuals reach court at far lower rates than those of white ones. People burdened with records for cases never worth filing. #LawSky

the only thing more powerful than hate is love

MAGA complaining that they didn't understand Bad Bunny's performance has nothing to do with a language barrier.

It has EVERYTHING to do with a HUMANITY barrier.

The seething contempt Republicans have for Latino-American culture has been on full display over the last 24 hours.

"Eliminate presidential immunity" needs to become as common a refrain as "eliminate Citizens United"

every single "principled libertarian" put on the red hat in 2016 and i don't think we should let them take it off and pretend like they're real intellectuals again now that he's unpopular

NSA detected phone call between foreign intelligence and a person close to Trump Whistleblower says that Tulsi Gabbard blocked agency from sharing report and delivered it to White House chief of staff

Is anybody ever gonna take a step back and realize the "Russia Russia Russia" people — derided as lunatic wine moms — were actually underplaying the foreign influence stuff, and the loud people who kept insisting it was all fake are now saying Jeffrey Epstein was kind of a cool guy?

Black farmers are getting shut out by the Trump administration.

John Boyd, president of the National Black Farmers Association, says the WH told him, they are “moving away from DEI and small farm issues, and they were focusing on large-scale white farms… because they produce the most food.”

In Minnesota, ICE agents are illegally racially profiling residents, drawing weapons during arrests, claiming people’s citizenship documents are fake, and leaving people with long-lasting injuries.

There is no excuse for Democrats to continue funding these jackbooted thugs.

Winter Olympics Skier & ‘American Horror Story’ Star Gus Kenworthy Urinates “F*** ICE” In Snow Gus Kenworthy, the 2026 Winter Olympics skier and 'American Horror Story' star, urinated a political message in the snow.
