After a college student finally found a treatment that worked for his ulcerative colitis, UnitedHealthcare decided it wouldn’t pay for the costly drugs. His fight to get coverage exposed the insurer’s hidden procedures for rejecting claims. propublica.org/article/united…

I spend 3 years trying to explain how market urbanism is radicalizing weird nerds into fascism and she just says it

A 6-year-old boy is missing after ICE arrested him and his dad in NYC last week and shipped them off to separate facilities. thecity.nyc/2025/12/02/ice… THE CITY Gwynne Hogan @gwynnefitz.bsky.social

Oh, god, this is so awful

Politicians who later become congressional leaders trade stocks like everyone else ... until they ascend to power. After ascension, their portfolios beat peers by 47 (!!!) percentage points a year through trades timed around bills and firms that later get government contracts.

Honestly even worse than I thought

I do think it says a lot about America that the guy who killed Medgar Evers just lived a free and comfortable life for 30 years after

Yeah. We should only try to unionize really nice companies

There was such bitterness in how much Israel straight up denied that anyone was being killed at all at these aid sites in Gaza. They want to erase what happened, portray themselves as benevolent humanitarians, and make those who remember the massacres into conspiracy theorists.

There’s a new leader quickly emerging in the Dem constellation imo

There’s a frog in boiling water element to this too. On polymarket you can bet on whether Gaza will be ethnically cleansed. On Kalshi you can bet on whether they’ll be famine in Gaza (that one paid out for ‘yes’ btw) This is objectively depraved and should not be legal but 1/2

BREAKING: Yasser Abu Shabab, the Gaza militia leader accused of collaborating with Israel has been killed, several Israeli media outlets are reporting. 🔗: aje.io/4ffi0w

The very first line of his July Wall Street Journal op-ed: "While most of Gaza continues to suffer under the ongoing war between Hamas and Israel, things are very different for thousands living in eastern Rafah—for us, the war is already over."

the problem is that this stuff just does not make national news coverage. ICE was filmed using *explosive breaching charges* on a suburban LA house and only the local ABC affiliate covered it

One of the more troubling trends of the past year is the decreasing daylight between "centrism" and the far right

as the prophecy foretold
