Just to make this concrete: if I picked a grain of sand somewhere on the earth’s surface, and you went to a random location on the planet with a pair of tweezers and by sheer luck picked up that very grain of sand first try, that would be MORE statistically likely than Trump not being a rapist.

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...
RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

I don't know that there is a definitive line to cross that makes you say, "I live in a police state now" but when masked gunmen can routinely brutalize the public, citizen or immigrant alike, with impunity, you have reached that point.

cyberpunk thriller where a team is hired to kill an AI CEO decades after his death
A recent securities filing spotlighted what triggered Mark Zuckerberg’s months-long power battle with board directors at Meta — a fight that sparked not-so-veiled threats from Zuckerberg and led board members to contemplate quitting.

When a worker wears an Amazon vest, drives an Amazon van and delivers on an Amazon-controlled route, but Amazon denies they work for the company — that's exploitation.
If it looks like an Amazon delivery and drives like an Amazon delivery, then it's an Amazon delivery, right? Not according to Amazon. Big companies like Amazon have built a vast network of subcontractors who deliver their packages while shielding them from accountability.

It's bleak that Serious News Outlets will tie themselves into knots writing headlines that obscure the horrors of a story while @people.com just waltzes in and calls it like it is.

This election is putting into sharp relief how the entire GOP strategy is about ensuring as many people as possible can’t vote. At its most basic level, democracy is about voting. Support the party that supports voting. That’s the table stakes of democracy.
BREAKING: Supreme Court rules student IDs can’t be used to vote in New Hampshire, a win for the GOP in a Senate battleground.

Complete bullshit. The body cam footage shows nothing of the kind. It shows a bunch of cops rushing a car over alleged shoplifting, and a driver trying to flee. It’s an easily disproven lie, strikingly similar to the DHS lies about Renee Good and others. mississippitoday.org/2026/10/22/s...

ICE causes man to wreck while his children are in the car, then tries to pry his kids from his arms. They got the wrong guy. Toward the end of the video, an ICE officer says law requires the person recording to back up 25 feet and threatens with pepper spray. (There is no 25-foot law.)

Microsoft literally told fragile white guys to use AI to compete with Black co-workers.
The first genuinely honest ad for generative AI I've ever seen, from Microsoft / CoPilot A mediocre white guy sees his non-white colleague getting praised for good work, he asks AI to *literally copy it*, and then he gets all the praise instead: www.ispot.tv/ad/SoDi/micr...

My God is it a breath of fresh air to see Dems talking about Republicans with the dismissive contempt that they deserve instead of giving into the fiction that they are reasonable people with good faith disagreements.
El-Sayed: "People like Vance think America is too small for some of us. I think America is big enough. America has been big enough include people whose families came, were here before anybody else showed up, or who were brought here despite themselves. His view of America is small -- small like him"

in case you’re wondering how the vivek campaign is responding to the uproar (from even some republicans) over this, he’s now not only owned it, he’s done a $4 million ad buy to be sure MORE voters see a woman who stayed married to her daughter’s rapist calling her a liar

Shooting at a car to stop a shoplifter is not justified. Even if no one was harmed, let alone shooting to death a 1 year-old baby.
JUST IN: The police shooting that killed 1-year-old Kohen Wiley as he sat in his mother’s lap in a Walmart parking lot in Senatobia, Miss., in June “was justified,” Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch’s office said on Monday. Her office will not charge the white officer who shot the child.

No mention of @marisakabas.bsky.social discovering his identity. No credit for her investigative work at all.
A young man asked Abdul-El Sayed if he would disavow the Muslim Brotherhood. The tense exchange has turned into a highlight for the Democratic Senate candidate in Michigan. Here’s what happened.
