I know the list is endless but I genuinely think trashing the legitimate congressionally chartered org for celebrating the 250th to instead hijack our national assets and taxpayer funds for his personality cult grifter crap should, in and of itself, be fully sufficient to merit removal from office.

Sen. Chris Murphy: "Right now the biggest threat to this country are not a handful of House candidates in New York, it is the president of the United States who is trying to destroy American democracy."

I just found out this bird exists and it's the orbiest borb I've ever behorb'd

"I run the protection program. We’ll take care of you." The clear point is that Republicans have turned Congress into an body that does not engage in oversight, that operates to protect the president's family, the cabinet, his donors, friends.

Cape Verde becomes the smallest country in World Cup history to reach the knockout round.

A reminder that if buying isn't ownership than piracy isn't stealing.

something a little bit like hope.

@danielbiss.bsky.social, Democratic congressional nominee in Illinois' 9th District, says Dems need to talk about their agenda. "We don't want to win and then start thinking about how to govern. We want to win and get sworn in and the starting gun goes off and we are sprinting."

Hi! Palliative Care Doctor here! I'm seeing a lot of people reacting to this like he's wrong, but this is correct. In America, unless you are under 21, you cannot get concurrent care which means you functionally "turn off" your regular insurance benefits when you activate the hospice benefit. 1/?🧵

Scam culture led by billionaires continues unabated.

The DFL's inability to STEP UP for our people, particularly for the young people holding the party up and performing so much of the critical, often invisible labor of party work, is a massive failure of leadership and elder membership. The party is weaker for losing @stargays.bsky.social. Shame.

If the Democratic Party actually cares about democracy, then they should embrace the choices of voters. Dem elites can either insist on closed primaries and accept voter preferences for Democratic Socialism, or they can open up primaries to independents and accept the input of independent voters.

After the Tribe sued to block Alligator Alcatraz last year, the White House vetoed a bipartisan bill to expand Miccosukee land and environmental stewardship. grist.org/indigenous/t... via @grist.org

BREAKING: On the 39th anniversary of the founding of ACT UP, protestors have shut down traffic outside Grand Central demanding “Money for AIDS and healthcare, not for ICE and warfare.”

A parent-led coalition turning the income-tax repeal measure into a public education fight, warning that state aid is already falling short. #moleg #mogov

BREAKING: Alligator Alcatraz has officially closed. A lot of outlets won’t report on this, but the Miccosukee Tribe played a key role in the fight.

Looks like the council went through with the fine. oaklandside.org/2026/05/05/t...

Hootie says good morning

Did you know that low-income Americans are forbidden from purchasing hot food items like rotisserie chicken at their local deli with SNAP benefits? It’s true. There are all sorts of arbitrary rules like this for public assistance programs.

At least 4 people have died in the Grand Canyon over the last month or so for heat related reasons.

The Republican president of the Utah State Senate lost his 2026 primary because of his support for "AI" Data Centers. UTAH. Democrats, i really really really need you to get this message and get it right now.

We need you to act now to protect online anonymity, privacy, and the right of young people to participate in online public life in California. Send a note to your Senator urging them to vote NO on A.B.1709: act.eff.org/action/stop...

Literally their fifth try, sigh

Keep your eyes peeled, all!

Elon Musk is a genocidal maniac with the blood of thousands of children on his hands He most certainly will need to be brought before any post-regime tribunal to answer for his crimes

psst! COMIC MAKING FRIENDS, this is a good opportunity to free up some space around the house by donating your comps. make room on your bookshelves AND help defend voting rights signed, someone who definitely didn't just trip over a box of comics

Why does it bother me when a manager or the CEO of my employer boasts about using Copilot to write their emails? This. This is why

rah with the shot, chaser, and frankly the _whole fuckin' bar_.

In my opinion, just preventing photos of your child from entering that ecosystem is a strong enough reason to not post them, given what they enable, but the degree to which they complicate victim rescue efforts is a really close second.

I just sent an email to Gillibrand through her website. If you're in New York, please feel free to contact her yourself if you feel similarly. www.gillibrand.senate.gov/contact/emai...

Well THIS is some good news!

Mother fuck- kitten fosters there’s a potential recall in process for all Breeders Edge/Shelter Choice puppy and kitten formulas. For non foster folks- these are the gold standard formulas. This is a big deal For Team Potat- this is a freaking nightmare.

This is amazing. 'Lumumba vea' indeed, sir.

And while I am THOROUGHLY enjoying pointing and laughing at this administration's avoidable failures just like the rest of you, I WOULD like to see this problem solved sooner rather than later. Why? Many species of cyanobacteria are capable of producing cyanotoxins, 17/19

I love science and scientists so much, this was a great read!

When I use the term “white trash,” it is usually self-deprecating, but I see the actual epitome in Donald Trump. The manifestation in his regime. The incarnation in his actions. He is white trash… substack.com/@jesspiper/n...

It remains absolutely fucking mindboggling to me how many people will happily and cheerfully advocate for government suppression of speech as long as someone, somewhere, can convince them it will even mildly inconvenience someone they don't like among all the collateral damage

The former causes sites to disallow large amounts of perfectly legal and often beneficial speech, harms the public discourse far worse than whatever harm you think is happening, and is disproportionately leveraged against marginalized people. The latter is fascism.

Even more wildly, 23.3% of active accounts (as of last night's stats) have paid us. (We're a freemium service: you can use the site without paying just fine, or pay us for some extra features + the warm glow of keeping us running since we don't have any advertising and don't do any data brokering).

TRUTH!

My site deliberately does not do any of that content recommendation or salience sorting, and this bites us in the ass *constantly*! People make an account, can't find anyone they click with, and never come back, because they're so conditioned by other sites' recommendation engines!

remember how the initial universal wisdom regarding the internet was never give your real name or any personal information online and then advertisers realized they could make lots and lots of money with your information and now basic opsec online is seen as sinister
