There’s no telling how many similar stories are not being told for fear of retaliation.

By now, everyone should realize Trump is not going after violent criminals or the worst of the worst—he is terrorizing everyone, including U.S. citizens, and their loved ones.

My constituent, Wilmer, was mauled by an ICE attack dog despite the fact that, as he has consistently explained, he was not resisting arrest or trying to flee—his wife and young children, all U.S. citizens, were forced to watch helplessly as Wilmer was violently attacked and dragged away.

Let's be very clear that one of the major effects of the CDC no longer recommending various vaccinations is that it becomes much harder for folks who still want to be—or want their children to be—vaccinated to get their insurance providers to cover those vaccinations.

Doughnuts and Bullets: The Absurdity of Working for RFK Jr. What happens when your new boss thinks you’re a child killer?

This really was one of the most heartbreaking articles I’ve read in a while. I don’t think people comprehend the scale of destruction wrought by this administration already, not even close

these gross fucks. just scum.

remembering in 2012 we were mocking bronies/incels/MRAs and the rest of the seedy underbelly of the internet, unaware that they would one day merge into nazi voltron

Yes, philosophy. History of phil is a std req in most phil majors (often spread over 2 classes), and then there are topics in philosophy handled historically. I also got a lot of hist of western science and medicine thru this phil major. I was very lucky.

Question for those who completed any form of postsecondary education:

Were you required to learn about the history of your discipline as part of the curricula? If so, what was your major?

I showed my students a term paper that I had saved with my professor’s comments on it from my freshman year 25 years ago. I asked them if they ever thought about keeping assignments they had written, and they looked at me like I had 3 heads.

chatbot lovers' undying desire to convince others of the superiority of their choice to regularly use chatbots, and to try & make nonusers feel some kind of fomo comes across as a need for social validation and hints at some internal conflict they're trying to resolve. good, I guess, if ineffective.

BERMAN: Would it be legal for police in Arkansas to kill suspected drug dealers on a boat in a lake?

TOM COTTON: The premise of your question is not well-founded


BERMAN: The answer is no. It would not be legal to kill them.

I’m wondering how quickly the media will forget all about him, as with the Kirk murderer, who ceased to matter once it was found he had no left wing ties.

The hepatitis B vaccine had been recommended for all newborns since 1991.

From 1990-2019, acute hepatitis B infections reported among children and teens fell 99 percent. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/16/w...

Since becoming a parent I have not, in fact, understood the parents who say “if you were a parent you’d understand” about vaccine hesitancy. Being in charge of this fragile little miracle has me saying things like “give her all the vaccines. Turn this baby into a pincushion” to doctors

This is journalism malpractice by @usatoday.com: Trump said some of the most racist things he had ever this week (and that’s saying a lot) and this headline & story completely ignores that. It’s Trump PR, not journalism.

One of the most joyous feelings in the world is when your local elected officials are happy to see you show up for the small, but vitally important, civic meetings that make a community run. Even better? When they *hate* to see you show up.

If you're pitching AI as the answer to everything and NOT pitching Basic Income or the like at the same time, you're not promoting a Star Trek future; you're promoting any number of shitty dystopias instead.

There are lots of other ways to address the very real harms that kids experience online:

✅ Strict privacy laws that make it illegal to harvest data and use it to recommend content

✅ Antitrust laws so we have real choices for where to go online

✅ Regulate features like autoplay & infinite scroll

The thing to understand about "age verification" laws is that they are not just for kids

The only way to "stop kids from doing xyz online" using age-gating is to demand a government ID (or invasive biometric face scan) from EVERYONE.

This means associating your gov ID with EVERYTHING YOU DO ONLINE

You can’t tell if someone is disabled just by looking at them.

There’s no such thing as the “genuinely disabled”.

You are not entitled to a person’s entire medical history just so you can decide whether to believe them or not.

People are not faking disability, most are trying to fake being well.

"In response to prompts as simple as “[name] address,” we found Grok repeatedly offered up accurate, up-to-date home addresses of everyday people, while offering astonishingly scant pushback."

“The fund aims to eliminate the costs associated with field trips for more than 117,000 students in Philadelphia’s public schools and will focus on the city’s vast network of museums and landmarks.”

1.5 million bags of shredded cheese have been recalled. Check your fridge for these brands Shredded cheeses sold in stores such as Target, Walmart and Aldi have been recalled in 31 states, including California, according to the Food and Drug Administration.

More than 1 million bags of shredded cheese is being recalled because they may contain metal fragments.

This is what happens when you cut food safety standards and gut the FDA

If you have cheese by the Great Lakes Cheese Co sold at Walmart, Publix or Aldi…check recall alerts

Karoline Leavitt at a White House press briefing

Karoline Leavitt: “You’re either a U.S. citizen or not — You can’t be a U.S. citizen & a citizen of another country”

The Supreme Court thought differently as it ruled in 1967 that the government can’t strip U.S. citizenship unless a person voluntarily relinquishes it - not that they care

I do not know why it has to be reapproved every year. Crohn’s isn’t curable, and it’s chronic. What do they not understand. Sorry you’re going through this. I’ve had Crohn’s for nearly 40 years 🫂

I love how we basically have to be healthy and have plenty of time and energy to handle shit that is for when we are not healthy and don't have spare time and energy.

Amazing system.

Imagine if Sam Altman were held just as criminally liable as if he had personally encouraged users to kill themselves, generate CSAM, and stalk women.

If any random person were going around doing that shit, you wouldn't base almost half the US stock market on them. You'd have em arrested.
