When the BlackRock CEO says the quiet part out loud, it stops being a “conspiracy theory.”

All these reminders to vote are getting out of hand, I got 250 calls last week, a neighbor keyed “VOTE” in my car, and this morning someone tied a ballot to an arrow and shot me in the dick

The current regime is absolutely evil.

Let’s be clear about Delaney Hall. A private, for-profit detention center run by GEO Group. Their business model is making money off human beings. Their incentive isn’t dignity. It isn’t fairness. It isn’t even deportation. Their incentive is keeping beds full and keeping the money flowing.

BREAKING: Federal prosecutor leading the James Comey indictment over his seashells post resigns from the case.

"Comics Unleashed is not a show you tweet about in the moment, discuss the next morning or DVR with anticipation. It exists one evolutionary rung above a looped fireplace video, the sort of thing Walmart might run silently on a showroom TV wall." www.rawstory.com/byron-allen-...

At 3pm today, the National Moment of Remembrance asks us to pause for one minute of silence (wherever you are) to honor those who didn’t come home. Today, we remember. 💚

Sadly, every word is true. The American experiment is over. Killed in the middle of Fifth Avenue and no one in power blinked an eye to stop it.

Today remember those who gave the ultimate for democracy. Honor their sacrifice and stand in their honor.... The constiution & amendments are the ongoing conversation between liberty and belonging; attempts to widen participation while restraining domination. A balance of power. #proudblue #pinks

We’re almost there.

Journalist Katie Phang is suing the U.S. Justice Department over the Epstein files. Her lawsuit names acting Attorney General Todd Blanche and accuses the DOJ of failing to fully release the documents required under the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

A photo from my visit to this US military cemetery in Normandy, France a couple of years ago. It’s a powerful place. These guys weren’t losers or suckers. They died fighting the white supremacists of their day. Their victory is our victory, and their service -and sacrifice- is our gift. #MemorialDay

Here’s a thought — Maybe these people don’t deserve to be handsomely rewarded? (From NPR)

I’m calling it now: After Trump and this entire administration are finally gone, there needs to be a “slush-fund” to reimburse everyone who voted the right way in 2024 for our four years of pain and suffering. And yes, I’d like to be among the first to file a claim.

“If one of the defining stories of the 2024 election was that young men swung to Trump in part because they felt masculinity had been demonized, what does it mean that so many men now believe they need to take testosterone to feel more like men?” free to read: www.nytimes.com/2026/05/12/m...

There’s always money for Trump’s vanity projects, but somehow never enough for anything that actually helps the American people. And don’t get it twisted, this isn’t “government spending.” It’s legalized theft. This is looking more like dictatorship, so what's the point of having Congress?

An AI will be reduced to slop if it trains on its own output. An industry will break down if it believes its own marketing. And a government will fail if it acts on its own propaganda. Model collapse happens when a complex system breathes its own exhaust. www.mind-war.com/p/model-coll...

NYT: In the middle of the lunch, Trump called RFK Jr and Dr. Oz and told them he wanted the regulation lifted. Trump’s FDA Commissioner then resigned in protest. Things like this are happening every day. RFK Jr is a total fraud.

Trump isn’t the problem. He is the result of the problem: the racism, ignorance, and selfishness of many people in the United States.

This New Yorker cartoon is accurate but a gut punch.

NEW: Epstein survivor Annie Farmer about Todd Blanche testimony about wanting to hear from Epstein survivors: "Blanche’s suggestion that survivors reach out to the Dept of Justice to re-report the crimes committed against them is beyond insulting. Many of us have already done that, repeatedly"

While everyone's watching Hormuz, the Epstein files are being buried. The law says release them. Trump is fighting it. Massie may lose his seat Tuesday for pushing it. And now a $1.7B slush fund for Jan 6 defendants? Don't go quiet. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

🚨Trump just named Marc Andreessen’s wife to the SF Presidio Trust board, along with other MAGA allies & ultra-wealthy tech figures. Meanwhile, the Tech Bros have made it clear that they want to build a “Freedom City” in the Presidio. sfstandard.com/2026/05/14/t...

This is exactly what he accused Biden of, and it’s the start of impeachment proceedings for any other president of either party. Why the rules don’t apply to him is a mystery, and it’ll be much harder to apply those rules to the next grafter who gets in. www.scrippsnews.com/politics/the...
