Really rare to spot something like this in the wild, but The Wall Street Journal ran a "Supreme Court Expansion Is Secretly Unconstitutional Actually" column that directly refutes its thesis in the paragraph that immediately follows. Beautiful stuff. www.wsj.com/opinion/is-c...

This is seismic news for fisheries scientists. Northern cod is *the* iconic symbol of total fisheries collapse due to overfishing (and other factors) *and* the iconic symbol of a complete failure to recover for decades afterwards. This is like announcing the complete recovery of bison on land.

For the first time in over 30 years, Newfoundland and Labrador’s Northern cod stock has been deemed “healthy” by Ottawa. www.canadianaffairs.news/2026/09/05/i...

This story is buried on NYT site. And they write "questionable and provocative" claims If Biden said this the whole story would be about cognitive decline--or outrageous lying.

A four-star general launched an independent review into Kid Rock’s taxpayer-funded “joy ride” in a military helicopter. Five days later, Secretary Hegseth fired the general. He is purging our military of experienced leaders to cover up his own corruption. wapo.st/3Uuf51X

If a news organization does not cover this as a clear case of: “president Trump tells story of 9/11 that glorifies himself but has no basis in fact” they are not worth listening to. Yes, I’m talking about you, @nytimes.com

Trump on 9/11: "I just thank my people. I was building a big building in New York & I took the whole crew down there right after this happened & they had no hesitation. Everybody went down with me... we thought it was coming down on top of us... two fireman lifted me up and started running with me"

This is yet another telling example of the Trump regime’s racism. There’s no pretense here of targeting criminals - the usual excuse for mass deportations. DHS is specifically encouraging Haitian “doctors, lawyers, scholars and engineers” to leave. Any decent society would value these people.

We already knew Egyptian intelligence warned Israel ahead of Oct. 7 and the Netanyahu govt dismissed it. Now we learn UAE leader MBZ warned Bibi directly that Hamas was about to try something big. He dismissed that too. One of the worst security failures in history. And followed by so much awful.

Netanyahu got an explicit warning before Oct. 7. He didn't brief security chiefs

In September '23, UAE President bin Zayed called Netanyahu to deliver a harsh warning. Netanyahu did nothing. An extensive investigation, conducted for a new book, reveals the PM's failures surroundin...

The precise month of Tim Walz's visit to China was dissected to death as well. The media can do it when they want to, which is to say, when it's a Democrat.

They made a massive story about how Hillary lied when she said her helicopter in Bosnia landed under “sniper fire” when in reality it was just a *regular* war zone

Happy 72nd Birthday to Ruby Bridges, who at the age of 6 desegregated the New Orleans public schools. She’s younger than 30 senators and our last two presidents—and only 7 years older than Barack Obama. The past isn’t past.

A legendary Medicare fraudster almost slipping up on illegal PAC coordination is pure brand consistency.

A detail missing from The Times story… the woman who took the photo shared it to a Facebook group called ‘South east patriots’.

Mic Wright@brokenbottleboy.bsky.social · yesterday

The Times has run a story this morning about how ‘polite’ the masked men in Dover were to three white ladies on a train. Propaganda in its clumsiest form.

Truly wild to have lived through moral panics about teenagers wearing hoodies and Muslim women wearing the head dress to now experience 'but is a large group of organised far right activists in balaclavas really that scary'

What a ridiculous question. Once again the BBC drives a nail into it's own coffin.

Antebellum politics is fascinating, the South kept getting policy concessions and whipped themselves up into a paranoid rage anyway, essentially because they couldn't stand being culturally judged for having slaves

the biggest “job creator” in america is walmart, a third of whose employees are on public assistance

Andrew Zolides, Ph.D.@zolides.bsky.social · 2d ago

This fact also completely defangs any argument about “job creators.” Job creation means nothing when the jobs being created don’t lead to any reasonable standard of living.

I can’t wait to read the NYT op-ed from Renee Good’s wife about grief on the one year anniversary of her death. Surely the NYT will extend the same grace to Becca Good—whose partner died protesting against state power—as it has to Erica Kirk—whose partner died defending white supremacy

i present to you: today's new york times lead opinion piece. if this doesn't make you realize whose side the times is playing on, you're dense and i can't help you. they are doing free advertising for fascists. there are very few places we can turn to for propaganda-free news now

This is just to say... I have stolen the work that you spent years creating and which you were probably hoping would pay your bills But online sharing doesn't count It's actually a compliment So fuck you BTW, I'm a fan

This seems absurdly simple, but: Republicans talk *all the time* about how Democrats are bad. Not this or that individual Democrat, but the party, the ideology, the very idea of Democrats. Democrats almost never do this about Republicans. Not in a coordinated, concerted way.

Another reason to rip it all out, we cannot let it get into the minds of people in power that this is a successful way to force a legacy.

Dr. Samantha Hancox-Li@sjshancoxli.liberalcurrents.com · 2d ago

i really cannot maintain enough that my current theory of donald trump is that he is utterly gripped by the terror of death, and is desperately attempting to leave some mark on the world that history cannot erase--this is the point of the wars, the annexation threats, the dc vandalism

If I were the chair of the DNC and a Democratic gubernatorial candidate was attacked in the critical midterm election year, I’d probably highlight the fact that Donald Trump and the right have been stoking political violence for years with conspiracy bullshit and civil war rhetoric.

I’m relieved Dr. Acton is safe and keeping those who were injured at the Canfield Fair in my prayers. Violence like this has no place in our politics.

U.S. soldiers, no one- not even the Iranian government- respects you less than your leaders.

The Trump administration is now refusing payouts for US soldiers who died in the US-Israeli war against Iran "because it isn't a war." Libby Klinner, widow of 33-year-old Maj Alex Klinner, says the US Air Force deemed her ineligible for additional benefits following her husband's death because

I actually think the structure of these questions has to change (bc they will use the same dodges they always do, "I don't know what Elon means"). WHY DO YOU REFUSE to speak up against Elon's antisemitic comments? WHY DO YOU REFUSE to condemn Elon's non-consensual porn?

Helen Kennedy@helenkennedy.com · 3d ago

I'm deadly serious about this: every Republican should be shown this photo on TV and asked if they repudiate/reject/renounce Musk. And if not, why not.

The open secret to pedagogy research is that small class sizes/maximizing educator attention per pupil is the simplest, most effective, and unfortunately the least attractive to administration thing you can do to improve learning outcomes.

We know how to teach books in the age of AI: small classes, close reading, research-engaged learning (which is how you ’let students see you struggle’). The issue is nobody will hire and pay the requisite # of faculty to offer this.

Average pro Israel person desperately wants you to believe that the defense minister of Israel has no say over Israeli military policy but that the average college freshman in the US is in charge of Hamas
