I don’t wish to engender conspiracy theories, but: Russia always interferes in our politics. I am obliged to at least wonder quietly if these “pro-Hamas” demonstrators are agents-provocateurs. Of course, there are always extremists, and I’ve also met Jewish bigots (a Jew killed Yitzhak Rabin).

New Yorkers, a storm is arriving today. Don't travel if you don't have to. Never drive or walk through floodwater. Call 911 if you are in danger, and report nonemergency issues to 311. Look out for one another and stay safe.

MURRAY: The Trump admin falsely labeled birth control as abortion. Do you agree that an IUD is an abortifacient? OVERTON: If confirmed, I'll be fully briefed M: That's not an answer. The prospect of an FDA commissioner who doesn't know that birth control isn't an abortion is deeply alarming O: 😊

Good Yom Kippur to all. May we determine to be the kindest, most honest, most loving people possible in coming times. May we strive together to create peace, joy, and freedom for ourselves and everyone around us. May we recall that everyone on Earth is around us, and deserves the privilege we enjoy.

A million thanks to @hcrichardson.bsky.social for writing about the 350th anniversary of the burning of Jamestown and helping a larger audience understand this still very relevant history. I say this as Executive Director of the Jamestown Rediscovery Foundation but also as a historian & a citizen.

I remember when polio put my friends into iron lungs. We lined up at school to get vaccinated. We eradicated the disease. We protected the common good and saved lives. Now, two MORE unvaccinated people have died from measles. What RFK Jr. is doing to public health in America is a disgrace.

First, we can eschew cynicism & negativity. Assume you will lose, and it's much harder to win. Aside from the two Heathers (Cox-Richardson & Delaney-Reese) I suggest Robert Hubbell on Substack. Retired LA law partner: Erudite with respect for, but also pushback on, Judge Luttig’s warnings.

When the last tree is cut, the last fish is caught, and the last river is polluted; when to breathe the air is sickening, you will realize, too late, that wealth is not in bank accounts and that you can't eat money. - Alanis Obomsawin, filmmaker (b. 31 Aug 1932)

BREAKING: Liam Tadeo was just deported by ICE.

James Talarico@jamestalarico.bsky.social

A 5-year-old Texan just spent the first day of school in an ICE detention center. ICE kidnapped Liam Tadeo on his way to a soccer game with his dad. Liam should be in kindergarten. Instead, our government has thrown him in a prison camp hundreds of miles from home.

Corporate media is obsessed with stopping progressive Democrats while the corrupt rapist president covers up the raping of children and steals everything in existence.

John Ratcliffe, the C.I.A. director, made a secretive visit to Moscow this week to privately share his bleak assessment of the state of the Russian war against Ukraine, and to urge the Russians to cut a deal before their military and economic situation gets worse, current and former officials said.

The degree to which it is conventional wisdom around the world that the president of the United States is a corrupt, untrustworthy, mentally imbalanced, declining, idiot is really remarkable. I mean, yes, those are the obvious facts, but still...

You’ll notice that the American state media refuse to report about Black people being lynched/murdered throughout the country as well as the dozens of murders committed by ICE Gestapo killers. They’re working their hardest to make sure it doesn’t tie to the orange felon’s Nazi takeover.

@Babouc ❌👑 - Jerry Wechsler reposted

Nah, I can’t be convinced this was death by suicide. Black people do not lynch themselves from trees, and the fact that these cases have been dismissed so quickly without thorough investigation is telling.

A reminder that Fox “news” paid out $787M for spreading lies. They aren’t a news organization, they are a dangerous propaganda machine.
