A 2025 Nobel Prize winner in chemistry, Omar Yaghi is the son of Palestinian refugees who grew up in Jordan. He just left the US to move to China after raising concerns about rising anti-immigrant sentiment, like the kind shown here. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/china-than...

You know who else covers up their faces in public?

Happy #IntersexAwarenessDay! Today I'm reposting my old Intersex 101 thread from Twitter - with new improvements, resources, and more! It's starting right here, read on!

This isn't hyperbole or a joke. Parents actually called the cops and got the black boy and his family removed and the league claimed they were trespassing because he was "putting on a show" and wasn't playing "fair."

I recently had the chance to spend some time with US Senate candidate Troy Jackson of Maine and shared some thoughts as both a writer in Maine and a Maine voter. shaystewartbouley.substack.com/p/vote-like-...

Early this year, I visited Ingram, a TX town of ~1,900, to check out a tip. The area was starting to recover from its worst flood in a century. But as Latino workers drove to jobsites to help rebuild, the tipster said, a cop in a black Dodge Charger kept stopping them ... 🧵

The Writers Guild on Musk blocking releasee of the documentary "Musk": "A small handful of billionaires now own virtually every major media company, news outlet, and social media platform and are demonstrating how this unchecked concentration over our news and media threatens democratic discourse."

The Iran war, which Donald Trump said would be over in a matter of weeks, looks set to escalate as it enters its eighth month.

Remember when I said this was the most pro-cancer administration in my lifetime, at *least*? Listen, if there's one thing I'm gonna be, it's *right* 👇🏽

Great 🧵 😊

Around 7000 died on the roads in 1968. In 2025 it was around 1500. 👏👏👏

Anyone going on BBC this month should order one of these beforehand and let them sweat www.poppyshop.org.uk/products/pri...

If our Supreme Court weren’t compromised (ie making decisions based on politics not law), this wouldn’t be a big deal. And it will probably falter. But it’s more of a worry because the Supreme Court is unmoored from the law.

The voters who want Dems to control the Senate but are voting Collins….

Many called Jared Kushner corrupt Many noted he took bribes from Middle Eastern autocrats, especially Saudi Arabia, skewing US foreign policy And they were right But as this reveals, he's even more corrupt and took even more money from Middle Eastern autocrats that many, even strong critics, knew

This is the ninth (9th) major profile of Emanuel since December 2024 that failed to mention Laquan McDonald.

Doctors and nurses are voicing their objections. I-638 would require EVERY girl who wants to participate in sports to go through biological sex verification. That means expensive, invasive, and utterly gross examinations. Protect our kids and let them play. Vote NO on I-638

The same DraftKings sponsoring CBS News election night coverage? Seems fine.

You have to conclude it works. Same as “eating the pets” got DJT reelected.

Ok, I stand corrected. After doing some digging the word moron actually has a much worse history than I realized. I thought it was harmless term very benign. I was wrong. Gonna make sure to not use that word and do more research on this! #Disability www.merriam-webster.com/wordplay/mor...

“The complaint also references ongoing litigation brought by another black former student who allegedly experienced racial slurs, a mock slave auction and threats of lynching while attending the school between 2021 and 2024.” Disgusting.

My brain cannot process this level of corruption. She was being paid $50 million to engineer a pardon from Trump *while working at the Justice Department* as a "Special Government Employee." And it worked. He got the pardon, and she got the money. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/20/u...

This is actual antisemitism on campus. And yet somehow, I'm guessing the Trump administration is not going to call for any students to be deported over it. forward.com/news/857126/...

THERE IS ACTUALLY RAMEN IN THE RAMEN BED ALERT

Black folk aren't the reason my head has been on a swivel every time I dropped my kids off at our synagogue for preschool when they were little. Nor are they the reason it's now a fortress.

one day Musk will be thought of as one of the biggest mass murderers of the 21st Century

It's disheartening to see the largest publications in the nation not cite original reporting from independent/individual reporters. Not one mention of @marisakabas.bsky.social's work in ID'ing Tommy. Instead, the WSJ implies that Tommy came forward himself. Disingenuous, at best.

Things that happen to Black people every single day, are only recognized as horrific, when they start happening to people that aren't Black.🤷🏿‍♂️ Cops do to Black folk what ICE does to immigrants but at 10x to 100x the scale. ICE has just expanded the targets of fascism to include more brown people.

fun fact, there is a Hindu association, Vivekananda Vedanta Society of Chicago, that has existed in Chicago since 1930

Ax Handle Saturday is not just a Jacksonville story. It’s a national reminder: segregation was enforced not only by law, but by organized white violence, official indifference, and youth courage that refused to break. Never forget this story. Tell it. Share it. ✊🏿✊🏼✊🏾 #KeepItWoke #DedicatedToTam✡️🕊

A 56-year-old Mexican man held at a federal immigration facility in Laredo was found dead in his cell Saturday morning. His family says the center would not give him medicine for diabetes, high blood pressure and a heart condition. He is the 7th person to die in ICE custody in Texas this year.

Per @marisakabas.bsky.social, it “appears that the ‘Tommy’ who questioned El-Sayed was no ordinary citizen of small-town Caro, Michigan, but a long-serving right-wing operative tied to Josh Hawley, Bobby Jindal, and one of the most influential Christian Nationalists in the country”
