I was raped. That's a lot to share & it's something I only 1st spoke of a few years ago, but it's why reproductive freedom is important to me. I want a representative brave enough to talk about her experiences as a woman & that's why I support @e-stherforcongress.bsky.social

"F&ck the planet" by the New York Times

Makary is officially out. He spread copious COVID disinformation and vile accusations against his predecessors. He utterly failed at the FDA. Like Prasad, he is now totally irrelevant. His opinions and hot takes utterly useless. He's only useful as a cautionary lesson for medical students.

Authoritarians love nothing more than calling other authoritarians “respected by all." For more on how Trump frames authoritarian leaders as legitimate and respected, see the Substack piece, “How Putin Tricked Trump.” zurl.co/XSc25

Today, May 12 is the birthday of Ikea Hood. She was killed at 17 in a 2024 domestic violence shooting in Dallas, Texas. Ikea was a beautiful girl, a drill team member, and a member of a Dallas dance troupe. She was also a new mom.

Emilie should be 20 today. She was a lovely, vibrant girl who loved art, fashion, and people. Learn more about her life and legacy through www.safeandsoundschools.org and www.emilieparkerfund.com Emilie should still be here. #protectkidsnotguns

Good for you! It is a crazy #Wordle today! 🤣

Taco lovers on social media had beef with British-born Steve Hilton after he tried claiming a hardshell fast food taco was a "Barstow street taco."

Good luck with that. The man is obsessed, sick with envy and insecurity. He knows he’ll never be as respected and admired as Obama. He knows Obama is smarter and accomplished. Trump hates Obama, because he knows he’ll never be as honorable of a man.

Yes we are......

"New tenants are flocking to the Penn Station area, including MLS and Dick’s. The neighborhood’s rising occupancy rates and rents reflect New York’s strength as the nation’s leading office market, as well as the growing premium on proximity to transportation hubs for workers" Thanks, Mayor Mamdani

Any questions about why the GOP is desperately trying to cheat before the midterms?

Trump is coming for Black voices in Congress. Tennessee's District 9 is the LAST line of defense—the only Democratic & Black-majority seat in the state. Don't sleep on this. Watch @justinjpearson.bsky.social deliver a #CupOfJoe worth guzzling! #SaveDistrict9

*Brutal* poll results for Trump and Republicans bluevirginia.us/2026/05/tues...

Dear, Obama Family, we know we don’t have to tell you this but, we’re going to do it anyway, please be careful. The pedo-king is feeling the heat with the epstein victims testifying in West Palm Beach so he’s going to try to gin up his maga christian death cult against you.

Who could have possibly foreseen this?

This is just flat out North Korea-style propaganda.

Historian of abolition here, history tells us how we got here, to put it succinctly “John Brown was hanged for treason and Robert E. Lee was not.”

It’s George Conway. I put everything about my career on the line and left the Republican party to stop Donald Trump and his MAGA sleazebags in Congress. All I’m asking you for is $5 to get me to Congress so we can fight them together in the lion’s den.

SCOTUS just sided with Alabama, lifting a court order for Alabama to use its current congressional map. This basically allows Alabama to redraw its congressional map for 2026, eliminating a majority-Black district.

Perfect response to Justice Roberts

The President of the United States is a criminal. He SHOULD have been convicted for the crimes he led on January 6th, 2021. He WAS convicted of 34 felonies for corruption and harassment. Yet somehow, instead of facing the consequences he deserves, he’s running the government like a mob operation.

WHOA, hold up! Did you know you were paying a set federal tax of 18.4 cents per gallon on gas & 24.4 cents per gallon on diesel AND a state tax which is often higher?

@morningjoe-msnow.bsky.social dug up a quote from October 2024 where, in conversation with Andrew Schultz on the Flagrant podcast, Trump famously said "you'll never see me sleeping in front of cameras". Riiiiiight... About That ... From @ms.now: youtu.be/QyRJ6hykHHc?...

172 reports of sexual abuse and assault at the Tacoma’s Northwest ICE Detention Center. And instead of accountability, survivors were met with failed investigations, ignored evidence, and a system that protects private prisons over human lives.

Whatever blackmail material Putin has on Trump must be really damning, because Trump is letting Russia bomb American companies and remaining silent about it.

We Haven't Either, John Pavlovitz !

Yes, when humans blink, their eyelids remain closed for many minutes—and they slump their heads after about five minutes of having their eyes closed. Everyone knows those are the telltale signs of "blinking."

Sturlin Minion-Brown should be 8 today. He was 5 when he found a loaded, unsecured gun in his home, and died of a self inflicted gunshot while jumping on the bed and holding the gun. Nicknamed Munch, he loved cars and video games, particularly Super Mario.
