RFK fired the CDC official (w/decades of experience) leading the measles outbreak response. It's been decades since we've had such a large outbreak. And just to ensure they they can spread the measles outbreak even farther, they also fired the leadership for the center focused on immunization.

Figure showing the largest measles outbreak in the US in decades. There are over 1500 cases as of October 7 2025

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

I read Peter Thiel’s essay on Alan Moore’s Watchmen and it unquestionably proves that piss poor media literacy is foundational to this recent rise of fascism.

I’m in Chicago. I awoke to a faint noise of people screaming. People screaming… and cow bell. It’s the war ravaged Chicago, marathon day.

TLDR: A vote for Cuomo is like rolling out a big plush red carpet for Trump & his trunk full of soulless minions

The full backstory, from someone who was there, documenting every aspect, includes the nuances that later journalists will be deprived of, by default of hearsay, revisionism, and the vanishing of so much historical fact online

Here's my take on that essay normanoder.substack.com/p/was-the-at...
I get some of the criticism of a 2011 film about #AtlanticYards, but it's still relevant
@nyreviewofarch.bsky.social

Was the Atlantic Yards Conflict Merely Between Competing Short-Term Interests?

To one critic, the 2011 documentary "Battle for Brooklyn" seems like "ancient history." Still, it depicts the project's enduring taint & leaves lessons about skepticism, as a new phase awaits.

Big Atlantic waves - 30 ft offshore - will pile up along the Mid-Atlantic and New England Coasts with the help of 60 mph+ gusts! Nasty few days with significant coastal flooding. Be ready for flooding if you live near the shore! #storm #noreaster #ocean #waves

Shameless self promotion Sunday!

Ok, I just made that up. But I have a shop and I’d like to promote it. The holidays are coming. Here’s my latest poster. It’s one of a series of San Francisco UFO posters🙂.

New poster in my San Francisco UFO collection. This one features the Mission District and shows a red and off white movie marquee probably from the 1940s or 50s. It says New Mission. There are buildings and Palm trees around it. At the bottom it says: The Mission, Calle 24 Latino Cultural District, San Francisco. 11x17. Drawn in Adobe Illustrator.

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

Seriously, Judges *do no do things like this*

They don't give their opinion to the media

They don't criticize how SCOTUS works

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation

Depraved.
