Huge headlines around the world. In major US media, unreported. Something's fishy here.

Besides being nakedly racist and bigoted, this is just hilariously wrong on all levels. I mean, Omar Yaghi won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry last year, and he won the Wolf Prize in 2018. And that's just one example.

It’s wild to hear the @nytimes.com tell @markjacob.bsky.social how afraid they are to use the word “lie.” Tiptoeing around words when the president of the United States says things like this.

Absolutely despicable.

In August, the Trump administration flew 12 Somali immigrants to an ICE facility at Guantanamo Bay. “Nobody tell us that we’re going to Guantanamo Bay,” Sakariye Abdi Mohamed told journalist Amanda Moore in a phone call from the detention facility. “Just like kidnapping.”

Gas prices are “temporarily” high, says the president. That’s because Republicans are temporarily in power. Vote.

I've been saying this all along.

The 405 would like a word.

Yeah, it’s crazy. No one drives in California. The highways are empty. Never any traffic because everyone swore off those evil cars.

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was driving his construction crew to work when an ICE officer shot and killed him in Houston. He wasn’t even the person ICE was looking for. Now Texas voters are leaving their “I Voted” stickers at his memorial. #BlueWaveIn10Days

The fact that the president's doctors are giving him the dementia test over and over again -- tracking his decline, most likely -- and that the president keeps bragging about having to take that test should be a five-alarm fire.

What is wrong with Dem leadership? They trip over themselves to meet with Jared Kushner but are mum on the political targeting racism and harassment of their own members.

“Departures from these practices should never be countenanced because they risk allowing prosecutors to impact national elections.” -Todd Blanche on DOJ’s 60-day rule, September 2024

I'm sorry, as a survivor of child physical and sexual abuse from a parent, this is very triggering. This chud thinks promoting a woman who sided with her husband after he was arrested for raping her 12-year-old daughter is just about "hurt feelings." It's so much more. It's about human depravity.

THEY ARE NOT POWERLESS TO STOP HIM! Go back to Washington, stand on the steps of the Capitol and demand Johnson and Thune recall the House and Senate, and impeach him. THIS IS HOW IT IS SUPPOSED TO WORK! THERE IS LITERALLY AN INSTRUCTION MANUAL! (It's called the Constitution.)

Did Tommy write this headline? Or was it the Ellisons?

Watch this whole video. All the way to the end.

Holy moly did Aaron Sorkin write this or is this real life?? Treat yourself and watch the whole thing. I want to watch these kinds of interactions for the next 6 years on the national stage. We've got to do our part to help get Abdul to the Senate.

Mark is all of us. 👏👏👏

Please indulge me while I post this once more for folks who may be too busy during the week and only peek at Bluesky on the weekend. The NY Times invited me to explain why I think they're failing in their duty to warn the public about the danger of a dictatorship. And they posted the video online.

These are students from HBCU North Carolina A&T marching back to their campus after voting early together The Guilford County Board of Elections removed their on-campus polling site ❤️❤️

Isn’t it time for every honest member of the political media to declare loudly and clearly that Trump and the Republicans are building a dictatorship?

Thank you @arimelber.bsky.social for talking about how the GOP voted for Trump’s policies over and over again. A lot of the focus has been on the GOP fleeing Trump for the election, but we have to remember they rubber stamped everything Trump has done. Everything they’re now trying to back away from

It's not "amid intensifying competition for user attention." it's to boost the stock price. It's always to boost the stock price. Billionaires can choose to not make more money; they just don't

My god. A Virginia data center ran backup diesel generators full blast for 24 hours, creating a giant cloud of toxic smoke that choked its human neighbors. The government claimed there was nothing they could do.

Weird that Donald Trump's message is that people who are being assaulted can stop it all by giving up and submitting to the aggressor, so weird, so so weird

If you vote for Republicans, you're voting to protect powerful men who raped children and don't want us to see all of the Epstein files.

Republicans would rather your children watch a man get killed than a drag queen read

Too many people in the media give Trump props for "transparency" because he talks to reporters frequently. But he lies most of the time and often ignores questions. A day after he talked about letting Iran destroy Los Angeles and San Diego, he won't even explain what he meant.

How this is not the big headline of the day is beyond me. The president of the united states talks about Iran nuking American cities and the media is like "meh. Just another Tuesday with Trump." I mean how many times can we say "WHAT IF BIDEN SAID THIS??"

Trump said losing LA is a small price to pay

Who could have foreseen such a shocking turn of events

This.

An American president is encouraging an enemy to destroy American cities. This is treason, though he will claim we are not at war.

Scott MacFarlane @macfarlanenews.bsky.social is so good at summarizing how all of this feels right now. The glamour is lifting...29 days away from the election. "Fetch" 😀

“Why does every woman know another woman that was raped. But no man knows a rapist?” Women/girls in US are sexually assaulted every minute. That is both horrible and unacceptable. We MUST change that. My video on Cornell case and epidemic of violence versus women youtu.be/ilMc2qhoga0?...

I keep hearing writers say “no one actually LIKES writing” and I’m so confused because I fucking love it and sometimes you can’t pull me away from it for ten hours straight. Like what?

When a rapist sticks up for other rapists it's called a professional courtesy.

If the jobs number was 29,000 during the Biden administration, what would the headlines be?

The deal hasn’t even closed yet and already the job losses have commenced. Mind you, these folks are well off and will be fine. But thousands of middle class and blue collar workers are about to lose their livelihoods. variety.com/2026/film/ne...

Every single newspaper that reported that Jane Doe “changed her story” should be rushing to publish retractions right now. This case should be a lesson in taking a DA’s victim-blaming statements at face value. Victims do not report to the police because they thought nothing happened to them.

Did @jenpsaki.bsky.social really just talk about the illegal ads and not mention once that her network took that money and is airing those ads? Did any MSNOW anchor talk about it today?

The 988 hotline's LGBTQ+ youth services have been returned over a year after the Trump administration shut it down. Advocates say this is a crucial step to address a growing mental health crisis among LGBTQ+ youth. https://bit.ly/3TAna4Y

The NY Times has obtained more than 1,000 pages from Cornell’s Title IX investigation into the 2024 alleged gang rape of Jane Doe. Those documents include interviews of 6 of the 7 fraternity brothers. I bring you the latest on this investigation and what to expect next. youtu.be/xwA2mCsX_sM?...
