Here's the real thing about the future of truth: The American left has been overwhelmed in the past several decades by self-proclaimed experts with no success or experience in media or technology who occupy space with callow and childish ideas. We have to stop living in a fantasy.

98% of cats think Trump is using his office for personal gain

Oh no... 🤷

🔥 NEW! @moreperfectunion.bsky.social: "Billionaires like Musk, the Uihleins, & Leonard Leo are funding Trump’s attempts to take over elections & nullify your vote. This is a plot to end democracy." - what are Ds doing to stop it? - what can *we* do to stop this? 📺 youtu.be/GUHm6MfnPvw?...

Today is #IDAHOBIT2026, International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, Lesbophobia, Interphobia and Transphobia. This year’s theme, “At the heart of democracy”, reminds us that LGBTQIA+ people have always been part of movements for justice, dignity, freedom and equality. 1/2

Marco Rubio's State will exclude people for discussing moderating comments, but will invite corrupt far right operatives on run from the law.

Trump just stole $1.8B. He’s going to give it to his business, his kids, and people like Flynn, Eastman, Giuliani, and the Oath Keepers. He’s doing this without court approval or Congress. This is a crime, but there’s no one to prosecute it because the DoJ is in on it.

More fallout from Callais: SCOTUS wipes out two decisions involving the rights of private plaintiffs (rather than the DOJ) to bring a claim under Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act. KBJ dissents. These are less important now that Section 2 has been gutted... www.supremecourt.gov/orders/court...

this is what reactionary centrism is. It's a call for a return to a bipartisan consensus on bigotry.

Everyone involved in posting this should be fired and everyone in the chain of command whose office is subject to impeachment, including the president, should be impeached. Just for this. I am not kidding in the least, and Democrats who let this go by without comment are putting us all in danger.

Written by the health "reporter" at the NYT who is constantly questioning every minute detail of youth gender care, seen here writing with praise about conservatives abusing testosterone.

What really stands out is Trump is the most actively uncool person on this list by far. It's not even close... Well Vance is close

NYT confirms — with new details: Last year, Navy SEALs used two boats to escort Kash Patel and nine others on what a Pentagon email called a 'VIP Snorkel' next to one of the military's most sacred sites, the underwater tomb of the U.S.S. Arizona. One Navy vet called the swim "horrifying."

Bangkok is at serious risk of being underwater within a few decades. Maybe instead of worrying about guessing Thailand’s population in 200 years by projecting current trends under the assumption nothing changes we should worry about whether anyone in Thailand will have a place to live in 40.

Saturday fun disabling chrome features

Extradited from TN to ND, 6 months in jail and they didn't even help her get home upon release. Tell me again how "if you've done nothing wrong you have nothing to worry about" local12.com/news/nation-...

It’s ok folks. Susan Collins has assured Jared Polis that Tina Peters has learned her lesson.

More than seven years before Trump became president he was named in a deposition by a an Epstein victim as someone who was well aware of what Epstein was up to. www.rawstory.com/trump-epstei...

Featured story: The Observer obtained Flock license-plate reader logs that show police conducted 117 immigration-related searches of local data from Jan to March. One dept's search: "Obstructing Justice – Suspicious female filming traffic stop & making comments about ICE”

Editor Commentary: History will recognize this generation of America as the one that rolled back the Civil Rights era. Our time will be known to posterity as a generation that did not plant trees of liberty and justice for all, but struck them down. ohiocapitaljournal.com/2026/05/15/o...

There is a statue of author Alex Haley in East Knoxville, TN. Knox County just removed Roots from all school libraries.

saboteurs disabled and/or removed 76 flock cameras by using a variety of methods. they are equipped with gps tracking so keeping them for parts is not recommended. please outdo yourself

Be really careful with your API keys people. Apparently Google decided it was ok to allow client side maps API keys to be used for Gemini AI and auto upgrade your spending limits as you, or the people who stole your key, blow past them. www.theregister.com/ai-ml/2026/0...

Mom has her head on a swivel today. Her baby is hatched and there's a boy hummingbird flying around.

Trump plans to steal $1.7B from taxpayers to pay off the terrorists he already freed from prison. abcnews.com/US/trump-poi...

All it took was a meeting & some complaints to Trump in Florida to FORCE the FDA to approve the sale of fruit flavored vapes. Marty Makari was against this & was pressured to approve them. This goes against MAHA. Nothing about this is for public health. 🧪 www.nytimes.com/2026/05/13/u...

bluesky — i am talking to you, all of you — need to internalize this and you need to tell everyone you know this. shampoo more expensive? republicans. burgers more expensive? republicans. beer more expensive? republicans.

We've been tracking a potential federal detention facility in Gilroy, CA for the past few days, thanks to tips from people on the ground. Still waiting on records requests and additional confirmation before it goes in the tracker... but we're watching it closely.

how it started / how it’s going

So stressful

Today is windy, she's been hanging on tight

billionaires repeatedly buy and destroy communications platforms to dominate information flow this week's 🙄 Bluesky silo redux discourse downplays that people of sense and empathy were chased here unwillingly and are focused on survival and connection, not revolution

A video answer to the insipid pundit question “where are all the student protests?”

Breathtaking corruption. Just keeps getting worse. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/12/b...

NEW: xAI appears to have added more than 500 MW (!) of unpermitted gas turbines to its Colossus 2 campus in a matter of weeks, according to internal emails between the company and regulators

blockExoticSubdeps defaulting to true in @pnpm.io v10.26.0 was a good idea. socket.dev/blog/tanstac...

It is hard to look at these headlines. We can’t become hopeless and numb. That is what this regime wants. We’re not going back America.🇺🇸

DEAR RESTAURANTS: Your servers are not volunteers. If you can't afford to pay them more than 2.13% of what you charge, you can't afford to run a business. Thank you!

"Adding thermal and low-light imaging to existing 200x zoom capabilities and using it to read plates in people’s driveways clearly raises additional #privacy concerns. The Supreme Court already agrees. Flock markets this device to the government while its FAQ denies its real function." #deflock

Don Jr. and Eric launched Trump Moblie in June 2025 and promised a "MADE IN AMERICA" gold-plated Trump phone by August. They started accepting $100 deposits for pre-orders. 11 months later, the Trump phone has not materialized.

This chart is amazing. Just glancing at it I can see two things. I never get enough sleep and the more sleep I need, the less I seem to get.

Cancelled my Strava Premium today as I am coming up on my 12th year and another payment and when I was presented with the "Why" feedback box that I doubt they'll ever read a flood if things came to mind. 1/7

According to the new Fox News poll, less than 1% of voters think “wokeness/transgender issues” are the most important things. Instead, they were focused on inflation, corruption, and the Iran war, all Trump weaknesses. www.lgbtqnation.com/2026/04/shoc...

why isn't this story getting more traction? a Republican State Representative proposed a Holocaust denier for the NH state commission that sets the standards for Holocaust education. the commission member in question had also been caught engaging in lewd behavior at a playground.

This is powerful. Let’s hope it keeps happening before it’s too late.👏👏👏😎💙😎

A core part of the Supreme Court’s stated rationale for gutting the Voting Rights Act is that racism isn’t a problem anymore, so former Confederate states would never disenfranchise Black voters the way those states are doing right now.
