#Caturday!!!

You would not fire these people—including the staff of the hugely, HUGELY important 'Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report'—if you cared at all about public health, if you wanted people to live.

And you would not let your thuggish henchmen fire people like this if you were a responsible president.

Dear WH Press Corp
You should be ashamed of yourself.
Start demanding answers. Portland isn’t on fire. Chicago isn’t at war. Seattle isn’t thanking him.
ANTIFA isn’t assaulting ICE agents
Hold him accountable for the lies.
Refuse to ask anything else until he answers these.
Demand the proof

White House releases doctor’s note from Trump’s visit to Walter Reed

Like past notes from his team, it contains a Trumpian brag not seen w past presidents:

“His cardiac age … was found to be approximately 14 years younger than his chronological age.”

Notably got the flu and covid vaccines

Pretty sure that when you have giant frogs everywhere, God is very disappointed in how you are treating immigrants.

I know people are dedicated to believing that Dems are ignoring everything important, but nevertheless there are two Senate Democrats doing their jobs. Just as the state's governor has, and many other Dem politicians around the nation.

No, they're not perfect, but they just aren't the problem.

Grab some wine! Some late antique communion bread 🥖 loaves from the 7th-8th centuries with Jesus upon them have been discovered in Anatolia. www.labrujulaverde.com/en/2025/10/c...

NEW: The private jet that flew 10 shackled migrants to an Eswatini prison last weekend is owned by Israeli-American billionaires with close ties to Trump.

It’s oligarchs all the way down.

My first for @zeteo.com:

second--get this--Antifa wants you to believe that the President "shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed."

@mit.edu has done an incredibly important service to the nation by being willing to be the first school to reject the administration's "compact."

President Kornbluth focuses—and she's right—on the principle that "scientific funding should be based on scientific merit alone."

This arrest appears to be in direct violation of a temporary restraining order prohibiting DHS officers from arresting journalists. The officers here may well be subject to contempt of court. protectdemocracy.org/wp-content/u...

is the justice in the room with us now

The title verse of “We Shall Overcome” and most of the others are in the future tense. One verse is in the present: “We are not afraid TODAY.”

That is the most important message for our current moment. If you can “afford” to be fearless, do it.

No Kings 2 is Saturday, Oct. 18.

Nobody is getting paid to be there. But you can demonstrate to the world that you oppose the rise of fascism in the U.S.

MIT says "NOPE, we stand for peer review, merit, and academic freedom" in reply to the Trump Regime's proposed "compact" with Higher Ed. orgchart.mit.edu/letters/rega...

I've never reviewed a ms for UNC Press, so this is my best chance at getting their books!

This is your every now and then reminder that if you got to @uncpress.bsky.social website and enter 01HATM30 you’ll get 30% off of any title. I don’t get anything for it, but it’s a nice thing for my readers and the #HATM community.

This, and also: if your answer is “I can’t afford to be fearless,” ask yourself at least once if you are sure.

You don’t owe it to anybody else to offer a defense but you do owe it to yourself.

It might be hard to convey to people outside economics just how seismic this is. The Trump effect has most certainly arrived to US academia.

"we cant uninvent ai" no we cant but we couldnt uninvent nfts either and nobody gives a fuck about them anymore

Sometimes we need a moment, but if you tune out completely, they win. Fascism doesn’t need your support, just your silence.

Things are happening at Portland's ICE facility tonight.
