Who the hell is concerned with "left-wing authoritarianism" in a time of right-wing authoritarian takeover of the US government? Of course a striking feature of Trump and Trumpism is projection in a DARVO kind of way (DARVO stands for how abusers deny, accuse, reverse victim and offender).

This report is totalitarian pseudo-science, aka corrupted science in the service of far-right authoritarianism. Who commits most of the political violence in this country has been clear for decades. It's not the left. It's not those of us who support trans rights and realities.

If certain media-ravenous people in and around Washington DC these days expect anyone with a working human brain to take them seriously about anything ever, this isn't really helping

speaking in front of placards that read "FAUCI MUST ROT IN PRISON," White House official Peter Navarro downplays covid -- which killed one million Americans! -- as "not that infectious" and only dangerous for people with comorbidities

“Using research as an opportunity for learning-by-doing may produce seeming ‘inefficiencies,’ but that’s a feature, not a bug…the process of education is necessarily a productive struggle, and that the most important product of their education is not a GPA or a diploma but themselves“

Major kudos to MIT, who just put out a report about AI on their campus that lucidly explains the threat posed by AI to cognition and the student experience, while at the same time prioritizes learning, students, and the value of education. 1/x aiandeducation.mit.edu/report/

"Kennedy Starts a Push to Help Americans Quit Antidepressants" Thank you, NYT, for another grotesque and worthless headline. I don't need anyone to "help" me off my antidepressants. I attempted suicide twice and I'm only here because of doctors and medication. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/04/s...

Kennedy Starts a Push to Help Americans Quit Antidepressants (Gift Article)

The health secretary has long complained that Americans overuse psychiatric medications. New policies he is introducing aim to change that.

Greg Abbott is harboring a fugitive. Today’s decision by a Trump-appointed judge in Texas was deplorable and dangerous. But it doesn’t change my commitment to justice in this case. As your next Hennepin County Attorney, I’m ready to take this case on with the vigor our community demands.

"The court indictment does not describe a specific action, but a series of meetings and protests [...] making anti-ICE statements online, planning and attending protests, and being part of rapid response and mutual aid efforts [as] evidence of 'conspiracy to injure or impede federal officers.'"

The Surveillance of a Teacher

In early June, Thoreson’s work to help her community during Operation Metro Surge led to seven federal officers showing up on her front lawn.

tryna figure out how to shuffle abortion doctors in and out of texas and when abbott indicts them in absentia, just have tim walz say that he's decided not to return them because apparently he just doesn't have to any longer now that we don't believe in the extradition clause

Keith Ellison, Minnesota Attorney General@keithellison.bsky.social · 5d ago

Big Tech is not above the law and our kids are not products. Today, I and a bipartisan coalition of Attorneys General secured a landmark settlement with Meta worth up to $17.1 billion, along with sweeping new protections for kids and teens on Instagram and Facebook.

"I was not shocked that he helped somebody. My shock is that he was murdered. And no one has given us the complete truth or anyone has been held accountable. And it's been 7 months! ... there was more effort in vilifying him than pursuing justice" -- Alex Pretti's parents
