I am not asking for anything for myself, and my daughters are not asking for toys or outings.
All we want is food and milk for my children, and for my baby who is not yet one year old.
This is the simplest right and the hardest wish in our time 💔 […]

What’s happening with Venezuela? Is regime change on the horizon?

There’s no better person to ask than Venezuelan historian Miguel Tinker Salas.

I wish I were surprised to learn that Australia's ban on social media for kids under 16 was pushed by an ad firm to get the government to stop considering a law that would ban online gambling ads. skepchick.org/2025/12/aust...

In 2021 I asked the Canadian government how much it was spending fighting First Nations in court - one access-to-info request specifying four cases. Today they got back to me.

Civil defense teams rescued a child from beneath the rubble of a residential building that collapsed on its residents in Al Sheikh Radwan neighborhood of Gaza City.
Seven members of the same family are still believed to be trapped under the rubble.

democrats are very capable of fighting to defend their core principals, like 'insider trading'
A discharge petition to advance a policy ending congressional stock trading was finally moving forward when Hakeem Jeffries sucked the air out of it. By proposing his own bill that no Republican would sign, Jeffries effectively made consensus impossible. From @ddayen.bsky.social:
Jeffries Undercuts Congressional Stock Trading Ban - The American Prospect
A bipartisan solution was gaining momentum, but the House Democratic leader just issued his own bill that will prevent consensus.

If you're annoyed by how much the Trump admin is dragging their feet and censoring and destroying evidence about Epstein please remember that the Biden admin could've released this stuff and completely sunk Trump.

But they chose not to. Just like they chose not to prosecute Trump's coup attempt.

Why talk about it?

Arrest Bondi and all involved who redact these files, here is a concept, handcuffs.

If they get away with this, what do you think the other files are gonna look like.

Enforce the rules of law, stop bitching about what they did, few of you mentioned unredacted files.
BREAKING:

At least 16 files disappeared from the Justice Department’s public webpage for documents related to Jeffrey Epstein — including a photograph showing Trump — less than a day after they were posted, with no explanation from the government and no notice to the public.

I’m sorry, but it is disgraceful to be an academic who uses this technology to conduct research. It should be prohibited in all of our scholarly institutions, including universities and journals.

Even accounting for bots, twitter has 3 times as many users as Bluesky & 16 times the number of active users compared to Bluesky.
I think one of the main reasons Twitter has persisted & Bluesky has not overtaken it while also having very slow growth is that some people love the Drama & the Ragebait. People want to ratio other people, have constant discourse about random things & to get unreasonable mad about it.
