A new survey of 1,000 American adults found that the strongest supporters of transgender sports bans are not the people who admire women most: they are the people who hold the most hostile views about women. www.helenwebberley.com/news/transge...

Sent this to my Gen Z voter to encourage her to keep trying to turn out her peers

In a just world, taxpayers choose elected representatives to decide how their collective tax dollars are spent, but billionaires think that by virtue of being special little boys who get away with breaking the law, they alone get to decide how billions are spent and we should worship them for it

This! This is what I’ve been trying to say. These legal actions (lawsuits, warning letters, raids, etc.) that are obviously not going to hold up — that was never the intention. Rather, they’re the foundation for what comes next.

Breaking News! Code UFB!!! It takes 2 weeks to confirm ocean sea surface temperatures and the long wait is finally over. The first day in recorded history with Nino 3.4 SST at or above 30.0°C is now officially on the record. October 7, 2026: 30.000°C. climatereanalyzer.org/clim/sst_dai...

Ever wanted to know the FULL history of LA's homelessness policies? Spoiler: it's colonialism. Read the breakdown in our latest piece: knock-la.com/legacy-of-us...

This is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.

One thing we need to be prepared for on election night is that there will be a premature rush to characterize the results from incomplete and early results, and once that narrative sets in, it can be hard to shake even as the numbers change. I wrote about this phenomenon in the 2018 midterms:

Billionaire families have spent $1.7 BILLION on the 2026 midterms so far — a 5,200% increase since the 2010 midterms. Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day. Big Money is the root of our dysfunction.

If you’re wondering who exactly Trump and Republicans are looking out for…it’s probably not you. (@itep.org) https://itep.org/impact-of-trump-policies-on-taxes-and-consumer-costs-2026/

Our lives are full of horrible, extremely unpopular things that we can't vote away because billionaires like them. Take the decision to allow Larry Ellison and his failson to buy and kill Warner Studios.

The First Amendment wasn’t actually “first.” The original First Amendment was meant to ensure that the House of Representatives grew in loose proportion to the country. Instead, the House’s size hasn’t changed since 1911. Today’s “One First” on that history—and the problems a capped House creates:

NEW FROM PP The Trump admin keeps denying immigration agents are grabbing Americans, so we tracked it 500+ Americans detained 70+ kids, some cuffed or zip-tied 60+ held after filming 36+ held for day+ w/o access to lawyer ~12 deported (yes, deported) projects.propublica.org/american-cit....

Something AI is responsible for that doesn't get enough talk: How, when it scrapes a website to illegally steal everything on it, it uses up a ton of its bandwidth allotment, crashing it or racking up massive fees for site owners.

BRB, updating my playlists with Dropkick Murphys where I had P!nk.

A tiny bit of gentle advice for the men: before you try to explain or pontificate anything about the Cornell 7 to a woman, please remember chances are she’s already an expert 🙏🏻

All of this. I also want to add that, in my research, I found that a lot of “inconsistencies” in a victim’s story actually came from gender bias affecting investigators’ record keeping and interview methods.

Don’t look up

Be careful what you ask for

Rich people just sit on their wealth like Smaug the Dragon, don't turn it over in spend which causes production which creates more wealth... Updating this year-old post with recent Velocity of Wealth numbers. Using somewhat different measures but the story’s the same. Graph/data link in reply. ⬇️

Please try to reclaim your precious precious attention, at all costs. Do puzzles. Take walks without a phone. Dear god, try to read, almost anything that isn’t a manifesto will really do. You are going to need your brain.

Someone sponsored beautiful memorials for Eliana, George, and the three other men killed in the dual accidents last week. My family and I stopped by with flowers to pay our respects.

for your future voting knowledge, Gavin Newsom was central in pressuring the AGs to settle their antitrust lawsuit against Paramount:

Don't forget the $166,000,000,000 in tariffs that Americans paid that are going back to corporations. That's a wealth transfer the size of annual GDP of Slovakia, straight out of the pockets of working people. www.usatoday.com/story/news/2...

If you are surprised Americans are more racists than socialist, I really think you need to radically re-examine your view of America

So, my husband’s child’s mother is abusive, to all of us, but you can’t leave a co-parenting relationship. So. “Was [event/statement] Trump or your ex?” is a regular sort of game at our house.

25 years later, we remember. May the memory of September 11th continue to call us toward service, compassion, and unity. #NeverForget
