Too few people know about this: Musk caused hundreds of thousands of deaths with DOGE by cutting USAID. More people have died because of this than in Gaza. Musk and the people involved in DOGE must be held accountable

Amazing progress in geothermal power👇 UK Gov should now abandon its disastrous carbon capture plans, centred around building 𝗡𝗘𝗪 gas power stations fed largely by importing Trump’s #LNG which is disastrous for the climate. We’d be energy independent but it would need courage to go against Big Oil.

Geothermal is ALREADY cost-competitive with fossil fuels in Europe. Around 43 GW of enhanced geothermal capacity in the EU could be developed below €100/MWh today - compared to coal and gas prices fluctuating between €90–€150/MWh. ember-energy.org/lat...

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:

It takes a special kind of hypocrisy to be Peter Thiel. A gay, immigrant billionaire who enjoys an open marriage, yet bankrolls a movement hellbent on destroying the inclusive democracy that made his life possible. He is pulling up the ladder after he climbed it

As I said the other day, I know Steve Jobs wasn't infallible, but I'm pretty sure he would've taken a pass on this.

An insane, perfect encapsulation of it all: The same day Trump’s agents kill a Veterans Affairs ICU nurse in broad daylight, the CEOs of Apple and Amazon join Trump to watch a private screening of a film about his wife directed by an alleged sexual abuser who was seen shirtless in the Epstein Files

Certainly the armed lawless goons who got out of their car, assaulted him with pepper spray, tackled him to the ground and then drew their weapons to fire several bullets in his back had no intention of committing murder, no, not after committing murder in the same way a couple weeks ago, no ma'am

Secular Talk @kylekulinskishow.bsky.social · 6mo ago

Kristi Noem just said Alex Pretti showed up looking to commit murder. Yet again she's viciously smearing an innocent person and lying to pretend he's a terrorist after he was viciously gunned down by Gestapo thugs. These people are irredeemable criminals and they need to be locked up.

The Gestapo and Stasi didnt leave till they were evicted. We need an entire Nuremberg trial. We ignored Watergate, Iran Contra, Gitmo and the war crimes of the War on Terror & Iraq, the corruption of the 2008 financial crisis, and the many many crimes of Trump 1st administration./1

The 6th installment of @boltyboy.bsky.social's attempt to discover why he was charged $34.94 for a preventative lab test that should have been free is up. And no, it's not the final episode in the telenovela thehealthcareblog.com/blog/2025/12...

The US Administration has banned Americans from *adopting babies* from much of the African continent. Adopting. Babies. What trait do those babies have that, when they grow up as fully American adults, would make them a threat to our country in any form?

Aaron Reichlin-Melnick@reichlinmelnick.bsky.social · 8mo ago

On that last post: I genuinely cannot think of any good-faith reason to bar international adoptions from those 39 countries. Under this new ban, consulates will refuse adoption visas for any baby from Cuba, Haiti, Venezuela, Nigeria, or any of the 39 other countries.

Accusing Jordan Silverman

A D.C. teaching assistant was accused of molesting up to 15 kids. Multiple law enforcement agencies cleared him. But his nightmare was just beginning.

New from me: Elite law firms, multiple media outlets, the D.C. attorney general, and a group of parents accused a teacher of molesting 15 kids. They were wrong. This piece is two-and-a-half years in the making. And as you'll see, it took some incredible turns, even as I was reporting it.

Lots more detail in here about this outrageous arrest. The guy has been in jail for weeks now for posting a quote by President Trump.

Liliana Segura@lilianasegura.bsky.social · 9mo ago

In the wake of Charlie Kirk's death, a TN sheriff had a 61-yr-old man arrested for posting a meme on Facebook, which the sheriff absurdly construed as a threat. It was pretty clearly bullshit but I dug into the case using FB & public records and now it looks even worse. My latest @theintercept.com:
