Kristi Noem is seen as a "delicate, beautiful, tiny woman" while leading DHS, yet Rep. McIver was arrested for protesting it, and Sen. Padilla was tackled for even questioning it. It's clear who gets to be “delicate, beautiful, and tiny,” and who is seen as a violent threat to law enforcement.

Harvard University will relinquish its ownership of two haunting images of an enslaved father and his daughter after settling a six-year legal battle with a woman who says she is their descendant.

No kings, masters, overlords or any of that bullshit. Time to take the country back.

An honor to have the great @dgtam86.bsky.social read my book "As China remains difficult to access, these human stories—which highlight the nation’s diversity amid a narrowing of identity politics—are essential to understanding it." foreignpolicy.com/2025/05/09/c...

Linda McMahon wrote Harvard a letter to which they responded by noting areas that are in need of corrections and then posted it on social media. Great job Harvard!👏👏👏

MAGAist discovering the perks of slashing government programs the hard way. It seems that they did not learn sufficiently about the pharmaceutical companies and capitalist interests behind the first opiod crisis, and voted for inhuman corporativism again. The zombie apocalypse 2.1 is in its way.

Solidarity to affected colleagues. Dips in student numbers predictable so these sorts of cuts shouldn't have been necessary. Very sad: University of Dundee to axe 632 jobs to plug £35 million deficit Source: Times Higher Education search.app/8RQhu

Green: I will suffer whatever the consequences are because I don't believe in the richest country in the world people should be without good health care. I stood up for my constituents then. I'm standing up for them now. I would do it again.

Let this sink in.

Trudeau: I want to speak first directly to the American people… your government has chosen to do this to you. Your government has chosen to put American jobs at risk. They have chosen to raise costs for American consumers on everyday essential items…

Keith Haring died of AIDS aged 31 on 16 Feb 1990. One of his last works, Unfinished Painting, was deliberately incomplete, reflecting the devastating, unquantifiable loss to the arts due to AIDS. #LGBTplusHistoryMonth

The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]
