Politics isn't fandom. It shouldn't be. It's a struggle for power and people need to get serious about it. The soap opera, character-driven content we've been flooded with by cable news and corporate media is poison to democratic action. This should have been obvious a long time ago.

If you really want the world to get better, if you really want people to live better, safer lives, if you want to defeat fascism and end gleeful exploitation, you'll come to a place where you get that parties deserve criticism and politicians have to actually and actively earn your trust.

A year ago: We're building data centers everywhere to run you out of your job and double your power bill. It's so you can look at fake videos of talking dogs on your phone Now: Why are people so hostile about the data centers

Y’all, this presidency is over. We need to figure out next steps NOW.

White nationalism is on the rise in this country, and it is being openly peddled by politicians who are now considered mainstream

is this uhhh good www.nytimes.com/2026/05/29/b...

I just drove by my childhood comic book store and it’s now an axe-throwing business. Trying to parse what this says about America.

I love living in Kansas City, but Missouri makes it tough each day. Reading to our young kids is essential for their development. There are currently 169,000 Missouri kids in the program, which sent out half a million books in the first three months of the year. Most won’t get new books.

I asked my mother the other day how she could put us in daycare back in the 80s when we were broke. She said the state actually helped make sure kids were ready for school back then. I’ll never get the philosophy of a state and leaders trying to take us, and worse, our kids, all backwards. Shame.

He will never outrun the truth contained in the Epstein files!

Striking an embassy in an act of war under international law. The use of armed force against a foreign embassy is an act of aggression. Medvedev's post is evidence Russia is prepared to make such strikes.

Really wish people would internalize just this bit here more

Regarding AI-- Nobody who isn't invested in it or being coerced to use it professionally (in places it doesn't help or make sense and) without regard to actual usefulness-- NOBODY-- wants that sh** The backlash has only just begun.

Segregation never ended; it evolved and spread.

This is so POWERFUL!

As far as I can tell from reporting, there's no breakthrough with Iran. There is only another classic Trump faux deal that leaves us and the region in a worse position than we all were prior to the start of this illegal, foolish, costly war. All hard issues are punted to the indefinite future.

Every time I wander over to X (via XCancel.com- good app for occasionally keeping tabs on Elon's mess of a site), I instantly remember, "ohhh yeah that's exactly why I left" What a complete shitshow of infantile hatred (it makes Bluesky look so normal lol); I really question "adults" still on "X"

“What alarmed me is that it was explicitly partisan — all the high-profile speakers were from one political party. It was also sectarian in that it wasn’t even broadly representative of Christianity in the country, much less other religions.” #PrayForAmerica www.bostonglobe.com/2026/05/24/o...

AOC: “Trump is less popular than he has ever been. He is underwater on virtually every issue. If you oppose & are disgusted by what this administration is doing, you are in the company of a majority of Americans. You are not alone”

Zelenskyy: Our intelligence services receiving data from American and European partners, about Russia preparing a strike with the Oreshnik missile. We are seeing signs of preparation for a combined strike on Ukrainian territory, including Kyiv, involving various types of weaponry.

It was always about "MY free speech" not "free speech for all"

“The despicable effort by Trump’s ‘Justice’ Dept—to deny Stewart Rhodes’ traitorous criminality and free him from the contempt and condemnation that he deserves—is one more reminder that the attack on our nation on Jan. 6, 2021 is a war that has not ended.” www.americaamerica.news/p/the-ongoin...

Too many people have accepted Donald Trump’s presidency as "normal." Too many believe there is nothing we can do, and that we simply need to outlast his term. We cannot endure 29 more months with this mendacious, narcissistic, rapist, wannabe dictator who is selling us out to the highest bidder.

Here’s a thought — Maybe these people don’t deserve to be handsomely rewarded? (From NPR)

The sharper argument is this. John Fetterman did not merely betray a brand. He exposed the hollowness of a political persona built on costume, affect, and resentment of polish.

In the coming weeks, the Army will introduce an online marketplace where the United States’ allies and partners can quickly purchase American-made defense systems.
