People will die, and are currently dying, because RFK was granted one of the most powerful megaphones in the country. Two people who could have thrown barriers in front of his climb decided not to; there's a sex scandal here but it is not the biggest scandal.

“Gestational limits” are abortion bans
3. This map is wrong on multiple levels. Abortion is banned again in North Dakota as of last week; that state is the wrong color. Only 9 states lack a gestational limit and should be dark blue under this key. 41 states have bans

This is the scandal. Trump isn’t targeting dangerous people. He’s targeting peaceful immigrants. Almost exclusively.

Super fun to watch Councilmembers try to articulate why a Little Free Library is just neighborly kindness, the sort of thing every suburban homeowner would welcome on their street, but something like a free food fridge is absolutely different and needs to go before the zoning board.

Yes, HID headlights are very bright but the bigger problem is the proliferation of gargantuan vehicles with 5’+ hood heights so that if you’re driving a normal sized car their headlights are at your eye level rather than seat level like they’re supposed to be.

Azeen has this platform because women in astronomy helped her report major stories about alleged perpetrators of sexual misconduct in our field, like Lawrence Krauss. This is what she has done with the platform. It haunts me. 🔭
It's absolutely disgusting what the New York Times, and particularly Azeen Ghorayshi, is doing with its coverage of autism. It's so deeply irresponsible.
It's the same playbook they ran on trans kids.

Part of the problem is that liberal media keeps pretending that the right has “intellectual standards” when the rights idea of intellectual standards is RFK “I Like Bathing In Sewage” Jr being in charge of all of America’s health.
The controversy over the Heritage Foundation illustrates the collapse of intellectual standards on the right—a profound problem that Donald Trump has exploited and exacerbated, @jonathanbchait.bsky.social argues.
The Conservative Movement’s Intellectual Collapse
Trump is both a product and a cause of the decline in intellectual standards on the right.
