"Let’s be clear: this is not religious persecution. It’s a test. And you can study for tests. You don’t even have to study that hard. You just have to believe in Jesus." buff.ly/oFYteni

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.

For an animal that relies on camouflage to avoid predators, lizards sure can be conspicuous. Can you #FindThatLizard? Challenge photo⬇️

SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.

When it comes to Black people/ Africans and AI... Major tech companies have been paying Africans slave wages to do the traumatizing, digital grunt work of cleaning up AI models for use in the West. Meanwhile, people in the West use AI to destroy African/Black writers' reputations. NASTY WORK.

"Am I depressed because my periods are ending, or did my boss use my emails to train my AI replacement and then fire me with no severance the day before I was supposed to have spleen surgery?" buff.ly/oLdL54C

Please help me in congratulating Claudia Jazmín Martínez-Ramírez one of last years #FindThatLizard Scholarship Awardees. 3/4

Talarico: I've heard credible reports that Ken Paxton has a serious medical condition that causes clinical levels of cowardice. People are concerned. He has asked for proof of life from me. I'm asking for proof of spine from him.

The only thing this headline lacks is the phrase, “in a chainsaw-involved incident.”

Exceptional Drought (D4), the most severe category, expanded from 8% to 10% of Colorado this week. The latest increase is concentrated across eastern Boulder County, eastern Larimer County, and western Weld County. #COwx #Drought #Denver #Coloradro

“If you don’t like public executions just don’t watch it” says the crowd trying to ban drag shows and books

Bernadette Greene-Placentia, Who’s Running for Congress in Arizona, Was Reportedly Raped While Fixing One of Her Campaign Signs

A 24 year old farm worker was killed by heat in Mississippi. No worker should be killed on the job, but we still have no enforceable federal heat protection rules. 1/

"Before Stonehenge was raised, before Egypts first pyramid broke ground,before the Nazca people drew their famous lines across the Peruvian desert,someone in what is now southern Arizona shaped a 272-foot fish into the earth On April 23,2026,"a border-wall contractor drove heavy equipment across it"

Mike Pompeo has been rewarded with a teaching fellowship at Columbia University’s School of International and Public Affairs. The same school that canceled my class on media, race and international affairs. @columbiasipa.bsky.social share.google/KEvTy5yER71U...

if we were numerate enough--if we understood how many women and girls are made sacrifice to the altar of promising young men with bright futures--we might not survive it. accounting for that loss will take the rest of my life, and yours. but we've got to; that's the only way of killing the thing.

I'll resurrect that link, but I want to talk about my aunt Penny real quick. Because shorter and incredibly instructive. Penny was married to a man named Ray. He was a terrible person tbh and was nearly 15 years older than her when they met. My granddaddy wanted to kill him when he found out.

This is the Stolen Neighbors Quilt. Each of the 11,000 squares represents a person taken by ICE in Minnesota.

2026 was the hottest summer on record since records began in 1895. Shockingly, Republicans are trying to stop ALL federal heat safety protection regs-NOW OR IN THE FUTURE. HR6213 prohibits OSHA from creating or enforcing ANY national heat safety standard. Let's stop this! 1/

On Sunday, September 20th, Mario David Coronado lost his life to ICE violence. While on his way to work, ICE pursued Mario until he was run off the road. His vehicle then caught fire and Mario did not survive. His family is asking for donations to repatriate his remains to Guatemala. Link below.

I had not seen this clip where Tammy Duckworth advises Democrats to "not impeach anybody," "get back to work" and "allow" Donald Trump to "save face" and I would just like to remind the senator from IL that the federal government took 4,000 Chicagoans and murdered a 38-year-old father last fall.

My kids have measles, I can't afford gas, my country has been humiliated by Iran, and our senile rapist president is going to allow unregulated AI to destroy our civilization. But a lesbian bar in a town I've never heard of still has a mask mandate. I have never felt more politically homeless.

The black guy named Barack Hussein Obama got elected president twice. There is no "are they electable" argument. Anyone is electable if they're charismatic and solid on policy.

The way to look at this is George bush is trying to help Donald trump retain power on the Hill

Fundamentally the end of U.S. dominance in science.

From the people who told you that straight white male privilege doesn’t exist…

They're so busy trying to play four-dimensional chess they forget they are losing at three-dimensional tic tac toe

people are always saying anti-AI arguments don’t understand the full nuances of the technology. which is correct. but only because it stole everyone’s work, exists solely to get you fired, has made the entire internet unusable and has been forced on everyone without consent

House Speaker Johnson calls an early recess to avoid a Sec. Hegseth impeachment vote, AI regulation, the Epstein files, Trump’s criminal behavior, and pretty much everything else. anntelnaes.substack.com/p/squeaker-m...

“The worst place ever I’ve been in my life," Sakariye Abdi Mohamed, a Somali asylum seeker, told me over the phone from Guantanamo Bay last week. Sakariye is one of 7 or 8 Somalis who are being held at Gitmo. They say guards tell them the order to keep Somalis at the facility comes from DC.

Federal employees were paid $9.5 billion not to work in 2025 under DOGE. As part of the Trump-Musk DOGE program to shrink the federal work force, paid administrative leave costs rose by 435%.

“The Miami Herald will no longer have a Miami beat” is the state of local journalism in a nutshell. Really, really bad.
