It is unbelievably fucking dark that 25 years after 9/11 unleashed a wave of Islamophobia and hate crimes, 15 years after the disgraceful Park51 panic, we are seeing mainstream media actors validate the most disgustingly open bigotry in the public discourse

@daisychristo As I see it, the deluge of digital distractions is eroding people’s capacity to focus and think for extended periods of time, making strict structures and proven methods especially important for education.

NEW: Trump personally paid Natalie Harp and two other close White House staffers $45,000 each — payments described in financial disclosures as a “cash gift for the holidays.”

The Senate committee responsible for commerce and technology policy has zero hearings on AI scheduled for the next 4 months.

The committee's top priority is, instead, the Protect College Sports Act.

It was estimated that Iranian ballistic missile fire should have been fully suppressed by mid-April at latest and we are headed towards mid-September with no sign that this is correct. CENTCOM chief Brad Cooper also testified in late March and again in May that Iran could no longer launch ballistic missiles attacks in "mass and scale" and could only launch single or double missiles at a time. Despite that these attacks have continued and Iran also has retained an apparent ability to scale up dramatically.

Excellent study by NYU on why it costs America 5x as much to build passenger rail projects as the rest of the world.

Spoiler alert: A big part of the problem is that transportation agencies rely on design consultants rather than hiring capable in-house staff.

Really disgusting people. Really disgusting network.

Mainstream media reporting this smear campaign from the right in a straight way without any context let alone condemnation is so shameful.

Islamophobia continues to be normalized, the acceptable form of bigotry in the US.

I went to Haiti to talk to the people who are arriving on the deportation flights. A common theme emerged: many people said their their iphones, jewelry and other valuables were not returned to them.

SHOCKING NEWS: President Trump has Declared that North and Central America are now part of the United States of America.

No More Borders. No more Deportations. No more ICE. Everyone is Welcome. Everyone can Vote.

Wow! I didn’t see this coming.

[Ron Filipkowski @RonFilipkowski]

If the American people don’t overwhelmingly reject and repudiate what is happening with this govt, Republican Congress, and Supreme Court this November, then this Republic is doomed. We can survive a criminal regime for a short term, but we can’t survive an ignorant populace.

“The president is just trolling!”

Hey, here’s a wild thought. Maybe I want my country to be run by someone who isn’t a fucking internet troll.

I would really love to see some cable networks ask their Republican guests about Elon Musk’s affection for anti-Semitic accounts on here. How does one come to be shooting the breeze with this guy?

The most bizarre collapse of a once-powerful nation in world history—a vigorous swan dive into an empty pool enabled by a lazy, incurious public.

Fucking idiots.

[Tom Nichols @RadioFreeTom]

Besides yet another instance of a USG employee hiding his employment while posting on social media, besides Rubio hiring him despite DeSantis firing him for good reason, also important to note that his qualifications to be "deputy director of policy planning" are literally zero.

[Adam Cochran (adamscochran.eth) @adamscochran]

Every single one of these would have resulted in previous presidents removed from office no matter who was in power.

There is a shadow government running the Oval Office while a senile old man has the nuclear codes.

[Spiro’s Ghost @AntiToxicPeople]

Delusionally insane lunacy that is made up from whole cloth. Unreal.

If everyone keeps mocking this, there will be hell toupée.
