We still remember the London Blitz, which lasted eight months. Ukraine has been under attack for fifty-one months. You can help defend Ukrainians from missiles and drones. u24.gov.ua/news/timothy...

I try not to Trump post much because wtf can you say at this point but this was the rare I Can’t Believe This Motherfucker Said That moment, so late in the game

This is what we are fighting to protect. Watch history come alive on a 19th-century press as Howard crafts a timeless tribute for Memorial Day. Watch until the end for a beautiful, quiet reminder that our democracy is a living legacy of those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

Trump blew up his own alleged ceasefire deal within less than a day...for Israel. When will Americans say enough?

Watch lauraodea_ma (IG) bring the grit at the Capitol! 💥 Her #CupOfJoe is running over, and the message is clear: END THE WAR IN IRAN!

Again, please share. In every aspect of American history you will run smack dab into the critical contributions of Black people. It’s not Black history. It’s American history. Trying to erase it is a fool’s errand. We live it every day. time.com/5836444/blac...

"Over time it became difficult to distinguish the policies of Black and white mayors, as both were beholden to the police and corporations in their cities and thereby unwilling (and often lacking any real power) to advance policies to help rank-and-file Black Americans." Whew. That's Andre Dickens.

Meanwhile, this week, at the behest of the President of the United States, the Department of the Interior reinstalled a statue of a slaveowner at "Freedom Plaza" at the nation's capital: www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/s...

The Constitution is not the only norm this administration treats as optional. So are dignity, discipline, seriousness, and basic professional conduct. This is a post from the Assistant to the President & White House Director of Communication.

If you’d told me 15 years ago that in 2026 Donald Trump would be the Republican president and that I would be reading papal encyclicals muttering “fuck yeah, this Pope really gets it,” I would have laughed in your face. And yet here we are.

Today we remember the Americans who gave their lives in service to this country.

Because they are deleting records, we should be preserving them. Save the documents. Print the receipts. Archive the pages. Write down what you saw. The historical record is now a democratic responsibility. zurl.co/m3ttQ

a disgrace not only to the office of the president but to military families who have lost loved ones

In his latest insane ranting, Trump says if a deal isn't struck, it will be "back to the Battlefront & shooting, but bigger & stronger than ever," & he then demands every country in the Middle East (including Iran!) "immediately sign the Abraham Accords," which is essentially a peace deal w/ Israel

Officials from the local American Legion post deliberately cut the audio, but here’s the story of Memorial Day’s Black roots…

I didn’t know about the earliest origin of Memorial Day until I was a grown-ass man —because some folks didn’t want us to. 2021: Memorial Day organizers cut the mic of retired Lt Col Kemter as he discussed how formerly enslaved Americans exhumed remains of soldiers to give them proper burials. 🧵

Absolute bombshell. Pope Leo XIV drops a massive reality check on the global elite. He explicitly demands that artificial intelligence must be completely disarmed. He warns of terrifying autonomous weapons and algorithms designed to oppress the vulnerable.

solar is so cool man. I climbed up on my shed roof last week and installed a panel to charge my yard tools and now I’m mowing my lawn with power I stole from a fucking star

it doesn't take an "outside physician" to look at his hands and see that something is seriously wrong

Fox News reads Trump's disgraceful Memorial Day post as though it's a normal presidential message

Acting AG Todd Blanche continues his long, slow audition to get the nomination for the permanent job, there is apparently no service the DOJ he leads will refuse Trump. That includes erasing the insurrection joycevance.substack.com/p/the-week-a...

🔥🔥Ukrainian mid-range strike drones are hammering Russian logistics trucks deep behind the frontline in Zaporizhzhia and Donetsk Oblasts. Drone after drone finds its mark on key supply routes in southern Ukraine. Russia’s logistics are taking a serious beating.

The allies at Normandy died to save democracy. We can show our appreciation by protecting ours. #MemorialDay2026

Within his first encyclical, Pope Leo apologized for the role of the Holy See in legitimizing slavery.

THIS IS HUGE MORAL MOMENT… Pope Leo’s first encyclical, Magnifica Humanitas, is focused on AI ethics and regulation. And the Vatican chose to partner with Anthropic, currently in a major legal fight w/the Trump admin over AI safety and military use of its technology.

Says it all.

6 Greenville, SC residents, including at least 3 cops have been arrested & charged with child sex trafficking AGAIN—not immigrants, not trans people, not drag queens, not Black or brown people. And we will not hear Trump or any MAGA politician acknowledge this. These were cops. How deep is the rot?

This is evil collective punishment.

“I don’t know how to explain that.” Outside Delaney Hall ICE detention center on Day 3 of the hunger strike, an anonymous single mother talks about her elderly father detained inside — and how her kids keep asking when he’s coming home. WATCH @jordanchariton.bsky.social LIVE ⬇️

Another reminder: if there exists *any* class of people who don't have due process rights, then *nobody* actually has due process rights because the government can always just say you're in that class.

This is Adam Hoffman, a 49-year-old Waco, TX attorney. He faced life without parole for repeatedly raping a young boy. Texas AG Ken Paxton offered him 1 day in jail & no sex offender status. A judge increased his sentence to 60 days. Not an immigrant. Not a trans person. Not a Black or brown person

Local church hawks merch like this then gets all bent out of shape when people call them Christian Nationalists.

As a reminder Prasad began his campaign against the pediatric COVID vaccine months before there was a pediatric COVID vaccine. Fitting that his ending would be to copy Wakefield.

Even if Middle East tensions ease, futures markets are signaling oil prices will stay elevated for months — maybe years.⁣ ⁣ That's the "Iran tax." And it's not going away anytime soon, regardless of what the White House says about prices coming down.

Five years in and we still treat masks like a personality. Surgeons aren’t making a statement. They’re protecting a patient. So am I.

A little known Connecticut law allowed towing companies to sell cars in as little as 15 days. Then two reporters started asking questions. On Ep. 2 of “Paper Trail,” we take you through their Pulitzer Prize-winning investigation: propub.li/4up7m1Z

France bans Israeli minister Itamar Ben-Gvir after ‘unspeakable’ flotilla detainee taunts. This is NOT enough. The world should sanction the Netanyahu regime until Netanyahu is out of office and there is a change in policy. apnews.com/article/fran...

Hawaiʻi just passed a new law that limits corporations' ability to engage in political campaigns. Let’s see this in other states.

It looks like the regime is preparing to invade Cuba after months of manufacturing a humanitarian crisis on the island. Email your Members of Congress and demand no war, no blockade, and no collective punishment against Cuba: act.indivisible.org/sign/tell-co...
