Paramount is in talks to buy Warner Bros. to create a mega-studio, using funds from Trump confidante Larry Ellison and the Saudi government, raising new concerns about the influence of PBS.

I'm always cautious about amplifying harmful messages. In this case, I really wish every American could see this on the news. I still believe the vast majority would recoil in horror.
Vile, gutter racism.
Trump on Somalis: "We're gonna go the wrong way if we keep taking in garbage into our country. Ilhan Omar is garbage. She's garbage. Her friends are garbage."

The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

Based on a local situation, I’m seeing comments that no trans person should be allowed near young people.

Just recycling the slurs they used against gay people.

Hey cable news -- the White House press secretary is lying. You don't have to take this live.

You may be too young to remember this, but it used to be true that the when the US was planning to start a war with another nation, it would spend a little time explaining why.

The legal justification for sending missiles at random brown people in the Caribbean is the same legal justification for drone striking random laborers at a Home Depot in Corona: There is none.

If social media posts are to be believed, the US has imposed a seige on a sovereign nation. For, uh... reasons?

The DC shooting story is really getting to me because we literally trained this man as a child soldier for a death squad in a forever war and Stephen Miller et al want to blame it on other cultures? It's our culture, American culture, that killed that woman.

There’s a strain of racist really dedicated to trying to convince you their bigotry is based on some sort of rationality
I can only think of one person for whom this is true and it’s Stephen Miller, who for some reason will not rest till the US reproduces the violent xenophobia that made his and my ancestors flee eastern Europe. The rest of his family seems normal, though
Stephen Miller is now arguing that assimilation is fundamentally impossible and that certain cultures are not compatible with Western civilization

It is vitally important to understand this. Even their supposed rationale is a lie.
This is the scandal. Trump isn’t targeting dangerous people. He’s targeting peaceful immigrants. Almost exclusively.

1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics.

It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.

It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.

Transgender care saves lives.
Study In The Journal Of Pediatrics Finds Trans Youth Care Lowers Suicidality, Few Detransition
The groundbreaking study found that suicidality dropped for transgender youth receiving hormone therapy by nearly 70%, with only 7 patients of 432 discontinuing treatment.

Holy shit. So Elon decides it would be nice to know what region of the world people are posting from. So they add that little feature.
2 hours later they figure out that many Trump supporters with millions of followers are posting from other countries. Surprise!
That "feature" is now gone.

DOGE was a failure if the goal was saving money. It was a huge success if the goal was giving a bunch of techbro adjacent people unfettered access to govt data in ways that, thus far, are evading the Privacy Act.
Difficult to overstate how profound a failure DOGE was. Spending in FY2025 was not only than in FY2024 – but higher than it was projected to be when Trump first took office.*

The little bit of spending DOGE cut has already killed hundreds of thousands and will eventually lead to millions of deaths.
Bye bye, “DOGE”.

It no longer exists as a “centralized entity”, according to the Office of Personnel Management.

“Inappropriate actions” The word you are looking for is “crimes.”
That’s why a prosecutor is involved.
The interview with the California Republican activist appeared to focus on whether Justice Dept. official Ed Martin and Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte used inappropriate tactics to launch probes of President Trump’s political foes. https://wapo.st/3LJkEoO
Prosecutors quiz witness on Ed Martin, Bill Pulte moves in Schiff case
Prosecutors questioned a California Republican activist about her contact with Trump administration officials over their mortgage fraud investigation into Sen. Adam Schiff (D-California).

What is the behavior he thinks deserves capital punishment? Literally, saying things he doesn’t like.

This is absolutely insane. Stuff like this happens with him a lot. But it’s insane

Remember, the proper, sane response from an American president who loves freedom is, "We condemn all violence against journalists."
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

We are going to need a truth and reconciliation commissikn
Trump's DOJ confirmed 97.4% of people ICE has been arresting in Chicago have no criminal record whatsoever.

The state is using its power to terrorize a community. Worst of all, Chicago is not an isolated example and these abuses are not stopping at U.S. borders.
