Political commentators need to stop pretending there is anything more coherent to MAGA than hate of the "other." "Economics" are the figleaf these people tell you about why they vote MAGA, but its hate. Like Hindutva. Its voting for someone who promises to hurt the people you hate.
I haven't heard a single post about this anywhere--
disney's had their animators reanimate some of their recent iconic songs in ASL?? here's "we don't talk about bruno"??? this is amazing???

Line chart showing atmospheric CO₂ concentration at Mauna Loa Observatory from 1958 to 2024. A light blue sawtooth line shows raw monthly values, reflecting the seasonal cycle of plant growth. A dark blue smooth line shows the seasonally adjusted record, rising from 315 ppm in 1958 to over 426 ppm in 2024. A dashed red curve shows the super-exponential fit, with the instantaneous growth rate rising from 0.27%/yr in 1960 to 0.64%/yr in 2024, more than doubling over the period of the record.
1/ Why is atmospheric CO₂ accelerating faster than fossil fuel emissions are growing?
The answer is buried in the data, and it's more worrying than most people realise.
A thread. 🧵👇
There is no version of “I’m just asking questions about vaccines” that ends anywhere other than where it ends.
You are not Socrates. Socrates is dead. Polio nearly isn’t.
“Muslims don’t belong in American society,” says GOP Rep. Andy Ogles.
Made me think of my rabbi, after post-9/11 bigotry, saying that Jews, Catholics, Mormons, and anyone else called unamerican for their religion has a moral obligation to push back.
This country was founded on religious liberty.
My pitch for a movie: p-Hackers.
A sequel to the beloved 1995 classic starring Jonny Lee Miller as Professor Dade Murphy who has moved into academia and must prove that a large and popular data set was manipulated into proving statistical significance where there was in fact none.
4/5 stars (?)
The Target boycott has been very impactful.
Made other business leaders look around and go "maybe my info sources were wrong when they told me 'wokeness'—defined as marketing to nonwhite and non-straight people—is forcibly imposed by a small handful of radical leftist elites and everyone hates it."
Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.
In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.
If any one person saved our republic during the 21st century it was Eugene Goodman and I am sure that he hasn’t been thanked enough.
The come back of pertussis and Measles is only the beginning of the resurgence of preventable infectious diseases in the US. This has been one of the biggest public health failures of 2025 and the competition is tough.

CBS pulled the 60 Minutes CECOT segment, but Canada aired it anyway.
The segment was streaming via Global TV and YouTube (since taken down). Having a VPN set to Canada helped. 🇨🇦
My take, there is no reason we shouldn’t see this. Most of it was known information, easily searchable.
1/5
BREAKING: WATCH the full 60 Minutes CECOT segment here. This was sent to me anonymously. It appears to be the segment CBS' Bari Weiss killed. www.muellershewrote.com/p/watch-the-...
The CDC website has been lobotomized. Where it once presented the decades of evidence debunking the false claims of a link between vaccines and autism, that has now been replaced with junk science.

The cover of Radical Unlearning: The Art and Science of Creating Change from Within, by Lewis Raven Wallace— an orange leafy cover with yellow, black and white text.
Also picked up this on the recommendation of @prisonculture.bsky.social — can’t wait to dive in.
My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far
Authoritarians wage war on knowledge and critical thinking. That's why standing up for teachers and fighting for strong public education is one of our best ways to defend democracy. I discuss this and more about my book "Why Fascists Fear Teachers" on Your Call Radio ⬇️

I keep seeing people say, oh, trans people must take a hit for the greater good and, first of all, no, you don't get to discard someone else's rights and second, we know from past experience that marginalized communities like theirs are merely the first to be targeted. They'll come for you next.
Every productivity method works; just not for everyone.
The trick isn’t to find the “right” one.
It’s to scavenge the good parts like a magpie and build your own weird little masterpiece.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.
Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.
They are not the same.
I think a lot about the chance we had at the start of COVID to finally become a more compassionate, collectivist nation, and how profoundly we were failed not only by the sociopathic greed of the ruling class but by each other.
It doesn’t mean we won’t get there, but the lost opportunity haunts me.
YOU MUST MAINTAIN YOUR STRENGTH AND POWER! HAVE SOMETHING TO EAT.
White supremacy is when Republican men and women in their 20s & 30s praising Hitler, genocide, and rape are “just kids”—but 18-year-old Michael Brown was no angel, 17-year-old Trayvon Martin was a thug, 16-year-old Kalief Browder was a criminal, and 12-year-old Tamir Rice should’ve known better.😐
"We should ban X to reduce harm Y"
Harm Y increases
"Thank God for the ban, imagine how bad it would be without it"
Every. Single. Time.
Seeing a lot of celebration of this as a win.
But at NIH we have seen this exact play before.
It looks like it is the Vought strategy -and to stop the lawless firings we have to see the bigger picture.

“don’t be bigoted towards AI.”
your AI data centers are poisoning Black communities as we speak, please get some fucking perspective. jesus christ
Jag har lite svårt att förstå varför det inte är en nationell storm över detta. En av våra mest kända svenskar har enligt uppgift förödmjukats, tvingas krypa & kyssa en främmande makts flagga, fängslad utan tillräckligt rent vatten. Expressen begravde nyheten längst ner. DN rapporterar inte alls.
A friend/nemesis on another platform gave another variation today on his both-sides nihilism, saying that he doesn’t completely trust what either side says. He’s right, until he stops. Because both-sidesism is both seductively simple and unfortunately simple-minded. (Thread)
I mean yes this is funny, but the fact that these unconstitutional stormtroopers are so directionless that they literally stand around waiting for random nonwhite delivery guys to bike past them is just pathetic. No mandate, no mission, no clue. Just racism.
