Survivor parent: Comments are made that it’s parents’ responsibility to protect children online. Even the best parenting skills can’t fight these algorithms. I was the engaged parent, yet this harmful content still found its way into my son’s phone. Parents can’t fight this alone.

Trump: "Without you, we have Somalia. A fine place where we have a congresswoman who brilliantly came over to the country by marrying her brother. That was the first law she broke. She comes from a country where they have nothing but crime, bedlam, filth. Elan Omar."

Trump said that his handpicked contractor would charge only $1.8 million to repair the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool and paint it blue, but the actual cost is now $13.1 million. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/11/u...

Babies were found with dead brain tissue similar to what follows cancer and the kind of bleeding seen after a stroke. Their autopsies all came to the same conclusion: Their deaths could have been prevented with a long-standard vitamin shot. By @deldeib.bsky.social

While you can’t afford a trip for your family this summer, you just paid for Sean Duffy’s 7-month road trip at $4.55 per gallon of gas.

We are ostensibly a free country and the degree to which we don’t know what is actually going on in a vast network of “camps” on our own soil in the year 2026 is….. something we are probably never going to come close to actually grappling with as a country

Your regular reminder that when David Duke ran for statewide office in the early 1990s, the MAJORITY of white Louisiana voters pulled the lever for him. This was AFTER they’d seen the pictures of Duke in a Klan outfit and a Nazi uniform.

...We have learnt since 2022 that it also makes us dependent on Trump, Vladimir Putin and Benjamin Netanyahu." "A fast green transition seemed an impossible dream. Trump may have found the way to achieve it." www.ft.com/content/a55f... /2

"The VRA, which the Supreme Court gutted last week, was not some symbolic achievement. People bled and died for that law. Entire generations organized, marched and fought in courtrooms and legislative chambers so Black Americans could fully participate in democracy and wield real electoral power."

Alabama House speaker said he hopes SCOTUS “will overturn Amendment 14,” the one that made Black people citizens and guaranteed equal protection under law. It wasn’t just a slip. Today’s newsletter. 👉 link.al.com/public/45636...

This Great Replacement Theory isn't only about claims that people with more melanin will replace white people, but that Jews will replace Christians It's why the antisemites at Charlottesville chanted "The Jews will not replace us"

"So what needs to happen now - and it needs to happen now - is that Democrat-led states need to set aside procedure and redraw the maps. New York, New Jersey, Washington, Oregon, Illinois, Maryland, and Colorado need to get it done. Do it in 2026 if possible. By 2028 is non-negotiable."

Why did Trump pardon drug trafficker and Honduran president Juan Hernández? According to leaked audio tapes, it was an initial payment in part of a agreement between Trump, Bibi, and others to take down Mexican president Claudia Sheinbaum. english.elpais.com/internationa...

MTG redemption arc has been really revolting. People memory-hole the thing she said and done. Like, she literally sponsored this bill www.cnn.com/2025/12/17/p...

I'm literally writing about a set of Tennessee segregationists in the 1960s at the moment. I swear to God, they were not *this* comically and overtly racist.

“We hold all the cards… our preference is for these straits to be opened…” Translation: We destabilized a functioning status quo in Iran, and now we want applause for aspiring to undo our own damage.

This is what Elon threw into the wood chipper: “Gawande cited an analysis in The Lancet that estimated that USAID assistance—aimed at combatting diseases such as HIV, tuberculosis, malaria, & polio, reducing maternal & child deaths, & fighting malnutrition—had saved 92 million lives over 2 decades.“

“There was zero plan, except causing pain,” said one U.N. official about the Trump administration’s decision to stop funding the group with no notice or communication. “And that is not forgivable.” Revisit this story from our series “The End of Aid,” a 2026 Pulitzer finalist.

Huh. You'd think a comprehensive 6 episode audio investigation of youth gender medicine by a major US newspaper would include at least one interview with a trans young person or their parent.

Kinda burying the lead here, NPR

NEW: Donald Trump gave Meta $8 BILLION by creating a new tax loophole for billionaire corporations. All while millions of Americans struggled to pay for food and health care.

Deutsche Bank- How The Money Laundering Scheme Works

get in loser we're getting Reconstruction right this time

Donald Trump is being blackmailed to pardon Maxwell or else she will share receipts that he raped kids

This should be a bigger story. I didn't know Isaiah but almost everyone in my lab, my TA, and a few close colleagues knew him well. They all say he was a sweet guy who was just really into herps. This is a tragedy.

We live in a world where Trump can post this, but James Comey apparently gets indicted for laying out some seashells saying 8647 and then apologizing and deleting the image.

BREAKING: New reporting reveals the Trump Administration is moving to accelerate deportations of young unaccompanied children in custody, making it even more difficult for attorneys to obtain relief and due process for immigrant kids.

ICE brutally detains U.S. citizen mother & leaves 2 little kids in backseat. "I was shouting: I'm a citizen! I have my children in the car—9 year old girl and 1 year old boy!" She was held hours before being released, despite proving she was a U.S. citizen. Incident occurred in Asbury Park, NJ.

The MAGA reaction to the WHCD shooting is essentially: “We can say anything we want, no matter how vicious, racist, incendiary or violent, but if you call us fascists or Nazis, that’s an obvious incitement to political violence and possibly criminal.” (new @ms.now column)

This seems bad, no?

Why is he naked? Thorough search?

KKKaroline Leavitt to Fox before the WHCD: “There will be some shots fired tonight” Hummm really???

Yeah I dunno but I wouldn’t claim to call myself a journalist and president of the WHCA while sitting next to the man who said Jamal Ahmad Hamza Khashoggi probably deserved to be dismembered alive by a bone saw. Just a grotesque group of people.

every few months, americans are asked to resume their banquet and pretend a shooting didn't just happen

I aint talk about it all yet, but my state government is stripping a formerly incarcerated Black man who just won a NOLA election (with 67 or 68% of the vote) of his position before he even takes office and I’m pretty enraged by it.

Sooner or later something awful will happen and we will be told not to point fingers at the legion of incompetents undeniably to blame.

It turns out they do know how to make a plane turn around and bring people back when they want to.

Trump/Russia keeps happening in plain view.

Stories about pardons are often about presidential power. But what about people on the other side of that grace? The Coulson family may never receive millions from a wrongful death lawsuit it won years ago.

They want you worried about Hasan Piker so you don’t see what the oligarchy is doing. www.huffpost.com/entry/elliso...

Remembering Amal Khalil

This article is from last year. RFK expects us to forget about it. As with COVID we are watching attempts to rewrite history in front of us.

I mean. They’d be innocent even if they WERE related, because that’s not how guilt works.

The BBC has put together some incredible time stamps involving trading & Trump's public statements. Once might be an anomaly. Twice could be a coincidence. 3 times? That's a pattern. And we are being robbed in the process.
