Today, there's lots of reminders that ICE is still out there killing people, in and out of concentration camps. We are still allowing concentration camps. WHY THE HELL ARE WE ALLOWING CONCENTRATION CAMPS EVERYWHERE?

Public uproar has echoed across the Tahoe area when our yearlong investigation revealed that, in California, the fastest-growing use of glyphosate is to spray forested areas. This includes snowboarder Hannah Teter, who won gold in the halfpipe at the 2006 Winter Olympics in Torino, Italy.

🧠 Great Peter Thiel primer for anyone out of the loop or hasn’t connected the JD Vance dots together yet.

"The remaining 5 percent concerns only the final portion of the hill, the tendency of the boulder to inevitably roll back down to the very beginning, the eternal nature of my punishment, and the fact that Hades has not technically agreed to alter any terms."

"Thom Tillis persuaded a woman to do a brave thing. then Thom Tillis turned tail, ran, and left that woman to fend for herself" @radleybalko.bsky.social even the sporadically sane repubs are feckless dickbags

Damn NY really got Mamdani and the Knicks in the finals in the same year.....

If I were a Senator who was tear-gassed by ICE, I would spend every hour of the rest of my time in office figuring out new ways to abolish ICE.

Memorial Day is not about sales, BBQs, or waving flags at parades. Today we remember those who sacrificed & why they did it. Union soldiers defended our constitution & freedom for all. The Greatest Generation & those who followed fought fascism & authoritarians. Your job: vote for the same.

For the first time in my life I’ve had occasion to interact with another country’s medical system and good lord the US system is Not It.

Donald Trump is treating Iran like one of the women in his life. He beat on them for no reason and now he’s throwing money at them to shut them up.

Anyone else just going to skip all July 4/250 celebrations, large & small, this year? I will go to any and all ethnic festival & art festival, but I cannot celebrate the slow death* of my country at the hands of stupid, corrupt pieces of shit. *Which we can reverse if voters stop being idiots.

First off, any religious pre school, elementary, middle or high school should not receive any gov’t funds. Separation of church and state. Same goes for any private school as well. Parents making choices to send their kids to these schools should pay for that. End of discussion .

Judge Amit Mehta when he sentenced the remorseless Rhodes to 18 years in prison: “I dare say, Mr. Rhodes—and I never have said this to anyone I have sentenced—you pose an ongoing threat and peril to our democracy and the fabric of this country.” www.americaamerica.news/p/the-ongoin...

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

JFK Ends Mostly Successful Dallas Trip

Taking steps to compensate the mob for its "service" takes this state-sponsored violence approach one step further than even the fascist architects of Jim Crow. It serves to legitimize & INSTITUTIONALIZE (rather than merely rationalize) white conservative lawlessness.

Most folks don't realize how central events like J6 were to the Jim Crow state. Dozens of unprosecuted coups & massacres—actively encouraged by those in power—revived the fundamental logic of the pre-emancipation state: that Black Americans had "no rights which the white man was bound to respect."

JD Vance said green card holders do not have an indefinite right to be here They are permanent residents. The word permanent is in the title. What Vance actually means is that the administration reserves the right to decide which Americans are American enough. That is not immigration policy. Racism

We have *never* before seen consumer sentiment this low.

Notable:

Trump had US soldiers roll out a red carpet for Vladimir Putin.

call me crazy, but i think forcing the adoption of tech that intentionally hollows out the human labor market and accelerates climate destruction in order to concentrate wealth is just mass-murder with extra steps

🔥 SPRINGSTEEN: "I’m here to support Stephen Colbert, the first guy who lost his show because a president can't take a joke - and the Ellisons feel they need to kiss his ass… small-minded people with no idea what freedoms of this beautiful country are supposed to be about." 🇺🇸

Shitbags at CBS *already* cut his feed #cbsisdead

Long live Colbert. Thank you, sir Fu¢k CBS @colbertlateshow.bsky.social

Every time I sat across the desk from Stephen Colbert, I knew we'd have a conversation that was about more than just getting laughs. Alongside his great wit, Stephen brought deep thoughtfulness, empathy, and humility to the late-night stage. Here's to a next chapter as brilliant as the last.

We found that Jeff Bezos paid zero taxes in 2007 and 2011. In fact, he reported making so little in 2011 that he even claimed and received a $4,000 tax credit for his children. Revisit our 2021 story:

CBS and other Paramount properties are dead to me now. The greedy Ellisons with limitless money couldn't just enjoy life on a private island somewhere, their egos had to keep buying companies & groveling to Trump, destroying one of TV's all-time greatest, the Late Show with Stephen Colbert. #FDT

The President of the United States is a convicted felon.

NEW: Tiny footprints. A blue blanket. The autopsy reports of babies who died after not receiving a vitamin K shot at birth included heartbreaking details about how small the babies were — and what items they had with them when they died.

Solar Panels can be Strategically placed, I am not sure how useful data centers will be…. I find it odd that the same people who complained about solar panels being a waste of land have no issue with opening data centers 3x the size.

If releasing your tax returns and the Epstein files would end your presidency, then your presidency must end. It’s that simple.
