This week someone targeted my family for harm with a false report. We’re physically OK, but that doesn’t mean we weren’t harmed. I am beyond furious. Whatever your politics, this is awful, wrong, and can never become normal.

substack.comA Terrible Thing Happened to My FamilyEven in today's climate, there should be one fundamental principle everyone respects: whatever you think about someone in politics, you leave their kids alone.

Because there is absolutely no news to report/investigate about the current administration, let's go with another story about what Joe Biden could have done better. NYT is a clown show.

The Biden administration repeatedly rejected recommendations that could have eased the border crisis that helped return President Trump to the White House, a New York Times examination found. Former officials in his administration said that Biden and his confidants made two crucial errors.

jawdropping

Joe Fore@joefore.bsky.social

Former UVA president Jim Ryan, who resigned over the summer due to pressure from the Trump Administration, just shared this 12-page letter with the Faculty Senate, detailing his experience with the Board of Visitors and DOJ. It's a surreal--and troubling--read. drive.google.com/file/d/1Is6x...

I've seen this go by a few times on TikTok now and I have to say, I love this idea. We need a way to convince people to keep running even if they don't win, maybe building the loss into it as a troll move is the secret.

Netanyahu has been raising the specter of an Iranian nuclear weapon since at least 1995 and now is using that as an excuse to start a war. Almost all Iranians want freedom from the Islamic Republic of Iran. Despite what you might hear, tho, my people’s liberation will not come from foreign bombs.

Everyone complaining abou Dems not fighting hard enough need to give folks like Brad Lander, Alex Padilla, and Chris Van Hollen their flowers when they risk their personal safety to fight fascism. You need carrots to go with your sticks.

It would be so great if Democratic Party elected officials would start acting as if they’re living under a government that will lawlessly kill or arrest them for the crime of political opposition.

I understand the range of comments - freedom is flying whatever flag you choose, we are a nation of immigrants which means we celebrate and embrace heritage etc. But what we are in the midst of a propaganda war- and if we want the ICE raids and lawlessness to end its going to take a majority

Color me shocked.

In just three months in office, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has produced a run of chaos that is unmatched in the Pentagon's recent history. His inner circle — military veterans who, like him, had little experience running large, complex organizations — is in shambles.

Tone deaf. Schumer and Jefferies out doing book tours to line their pockets? Clearly they're not getting the message.

Christopher Webb@cwebbonline.com

It gets worse. Schumer isn’t just going on a book tour—he’s charging for tickets. Absolute insanity. While Americans are scared and in crisis mode, he’s basically saying, let them eat cake. @schumer.senate.gov Step Down.

This is extortion. We are living through what will become one of the most shameful eras in American history.

"During the meeting, Ukraine was told it faced imminent shutoff of the Starlink service if it did not reach a deal on critical minerals, said the source, who requested anonymity to discuss closed negotiations." Astonishing betrayal of an ally. www.reuters.com/business/us-...

More of this. The fuck are you doing promoting a book when the country is falling apart?

unraveled@unraveledpress.com

Happening now: protesters are outside the Fine Arts Building on Michigan Avenue in downtown Chicago this evening. People are in line to see House of Reps Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries for an event tonight promoting his recently released book. Crowd chanting at them, "we don't need a book tour!"

Thank you for agreeing to this photoshoot Ms. St. Clair, but is there any way we can communicate you’re not terribly bright and make bad strategic choices? We want something less literal than you holding up the baby you had with Mr. Musk. What if I swap the bishops and the knights? Perfect!

Okay so I thought I was living in the Handmaids Tale, but it's actually Gattaca? Or is it some sort Frankenstein future comprised of the worst of both??

Pulling NIH funding from medical research, as Musk and his cronies are credibly threatening, is a not-so-sneaky return to eugenics-based health policy, writes Yale public health researcher @gregggonsalves.bsky.social.

This performance left the GOP flummoxed. Trump couldn’t figure an easy angle to attack it. So instead- he mean tweeted about Taylor Swift getting booed and dunked on the Chiefs for their terrible night. What an ‘honor’ for him as the ultimate fair weather fan.
