was the speech supposed to reassure the stock market

If the stakes weren't so high and the human toll wasn't so awful, it would be genuinely very funny how little of a shit Trump gives about any part of his job that isn't renovations or rigging elections. The most obviously checked out dude in history.

I can't believe the "New Yorker" REJECTED this cartoon!

Both of Marco Rubio’s parents were born in Cuba. Marco Rubio was born in Miami in 1971, before they became US citizens. He is a US citizen because he was born in the US under birthright citizenship. #Hypocrites

Why would I use "AI," I actually know how to fucking write

With regard to our berobed and beshitted Justice Alito: If the Founders had no capacity to conceive of illegal immigration, then they also had not the imagination to conceptualize automatic weapons. Originalism is and always was a pathetic, desperate lie of miserable, ideological shitheels.

I don't mean to brag but many of my friends are authors, and I am an author, and also we would all rather die than use AI to do even a fraction of our craft. AI in art is for cowards unwilling to be vulnerable for long enough to learn. The prompt is the easy part. Always has been.

A single vote for Trump in the birthright citizenship case would be as bad as anything the Court has done since Bush v. Gore. This issue has been settled for more than a century. It is the jurisprudential equivalent of asking what 2+2 is. Any answer other than 4, something is deeply, deeply wrong.

WHAT MAGGIE SAID. #booksky #picturebooks #kidlit

Everyone pony the fuck fpr the librarian who just got sacked for refusing to remove LGBTQ books from the kids' section of the library.

Bring it on…

Just a reminder to buy all kinds of books for your kids...weird ones, new ones, old ones, debuts etc. That popular series they love is great, and it probably began as a single book which took off. With cool imprints closing, we need to bring in more voices, more ideas, more variety.

Sometimes I buy a book even though I won't have time to read it because I want to make a tiny vote for, "Yes. I want this. I'll pay money for this. Please put more of this in the world." #books #reading #booksky

Can they repay taxpayers for the fuel they wasted during their joy ride?

📚 “I stand by my decision. I will not change my mind.” RUTHERFORD COUNTY library director LUANNE JAMES 🦸‍♀️ was just fired for refusing to move kids books into the adult section simply because the board doesn’t like what they’re about. Full: www.wkrn.com/news/local-n...

Yeah but that turkey is rocking it tho

Some of the most wonderful picture books have come from Roaring Brook. Thoughtful, funny, risky, inspiring books. This is a huge loss and does not portend good things. So parents, keep encouraging your kids to read because storytelling may yet be the thing that pulls us through.

I suspect I'm not the only #KidLit book creator who's been struggling to stay positive, given recent industry news. My heart goes out to fellow creators who have also been affected by recent closures, layoffs. Wisdom from @eileenwrobinson.bsky.social @drydenbks.bsky.social: bsky.app/profile/eile...

👏👏👏👏 Judge orders Trump administration to halt White House ballroom construction unless Congress OKs it apnews.com/article/trum...

After the White House complained about an unflattering photo of Karoline Leavitt, it was removed from AFP and Getty’s systems. This is the photo in question. Please do not repost it. 👇

The U.S. just lifted sanctions on Russian cargo ships and multiple high-profile narcotics figures. Dozens of names were removed from the Specially Designated Nationals list—including vessels tied to major Russian leasing operations and individuals linked to Mexican and Colombian drug networks.

Wait, we actually have a “Karoline Leavitt didn’t like looking like a turkey in a photo, the White House complained and managed to get a news agency to pull the photo, which will now make it the most famous photo ever taken of her” story? This is the stuff dreams are made of.

Let's focus on something we ALL agree on: #ReleaseTheEPSTEIN_Files

What does your shirt mean grampa?

Golden retriever runs 15 feet after owner mimes throwing tennis ball

the thing thats just not coming through in the coverage of, well of anything but particularly the war, is that theres literally no reason for any of it and republicans are making your life worse but cant explain why or what the payoff is supposed to be

I must once again trot out the revealing anecdote: Disney execs were shown beautiful scenery from a superhero movie. They wanted to know what technology was used. They had to be told that the cinematographer pointed a camera at scenery that existed and photographed it. 🤯 These are not smart people

We have so many worthy, wonderful young adult cats who’ve been passed over time & time again, many have never had a single application in nearly a year of being in our rescue. If you’ve been thinking of adopting, maybe one of them is your perfect match! Elkon, MD www.petfinder.com/member/us/md...

PSA: Black cats are NOT bad luck!! They're beautiful, have pretty eyes, and shiny hair. Consider adopting a black cat and you'll be glad you did. Thank you, friends!!

Is it a good sign or a bad sign for a president when a popular sports figure is denouncing your immigration policies on a widely watched March Madness broadcast?

Ocean Beach does it again! #NoKings

Magnificent No Kings protest sign in Ellsworth, Maine. 10/10.

The NYT says today’s #NoKings protests had “no shortage of skeptics,” and then quoted exactly one of those skeptics: The chairman of the Ole Miss College Republicans (as of 2025.) But of course, the Times doesn’t ID him as such. He’s just a Concerned Youth.

This book is a beautifully harsh discussion about the politics of identity, journalism, power, resistance and the self interest/complacency of western liberalism, among many other things. It’s an essential read.

It’s disgusting to think the signature from Epstein’s birthday card would be on our currency.

Never trust anyone who hates dogs. Never trust anyone who dogs hate.

Still can’t get over the House GOP rejecting a 100-0 bill from the Senate to fund TSA, Coast Guard, and FEMA and… just going on vacation. Complete abdication of duty.

Good job, NYPD.

My cat is so great.

protesting in this outfit is a real “heads I win, tails you lose” moment when it comes to the optics

Incredible to go from breaking Watergate to this
