This is appalling and alarming, and the Supreme Court is not only largely to blame, but all but blessed it last night.

Let’s stop accepting the premise that people wanting things — especially basic survival things! — for free is inherently bad

I cannot stress enough, things will only get worse until white people collectively decide to let go of racism.

She doesn’t miss smoking. She misses people not being on their phones and being in her teens and 20s

"I remember smoking in the 90s. It was divine" "Im my 20s, smoking was sexy." GIRL, SHUT UP. Shut up. Shut up. SHUT UP. First off, you smelled like ashtrays. It was gross. And forced people serving you/around you to inhale your disgusting smoke, too.

"Apaches cost roughly $7,000 an hour to fly. The Trump administration has requested a record-shattering $1.5 trillion budget for the Pentagon for fiscal year 2027."

This evening, as we gathered in virtual community, I reflected on how important it is to remain committed to freeing people from cages. Each release is a miracle. Decarceration is as urgent as ever, and we need new recruits to this cause. It's been an honor to be part of this sacred work.

democrats: we're waiting for our good friends the republicans to wake up and turn on trump republicans: we're indicting james comey for an instagram pic and trying to get disney thrown off air cause jimmy kimmel talked shit about us

they are never going to tell us what actually happened right

EVERYTHING IS SO STUPID

I do not want it on my phone I would not like it with a scone I do not want it on an app I’d really rather take a nap I don’t want it on Instagram That’s even worse than green eggs and ham I do not want this my oh my I do not want your dumb A.I.

armed, grown men stalking daycares and we’re supposed go about our day like that’s ok

Hold on. We the taxpayers are going to pay companies $900 million, which is more than 6x what we spend on wind power R&D, to NOT build wind power at a time when electricity prices are spiking and we need more clean power?

Maga lecturing on political violence is peak hypocrisy.

I think the guy who entered politics claiming the first Black president was born in Kenya, who eventually went on to incite an insurrection that almost got his vice president murdered, should stop talking about civility in American politics.

They're too evil to be this thin skinned.

This article does a great job of detailing why in the absence of a robust infrastructure, wealth cannot protect the wealthy. In collapse, money is meaningless and loyalty becomes the only way to protect land holdings. Loyalty is driven by love, and those driving us to collapse are starkly unlovable.

Donald Trump was not assassinated. Minnesota State Senator Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark Hortman, were. And the president reposted vile conspiracy theories about their assassination.

They shot Alex Pretti ten times while he was face down in the street.

NEW: An @ij.org review of media reports has identified at least 14 recent cases of police officers allegedly using Flock and other automated license plate reader systems to stalk wives, girlfriends, exes, and even strangers who caught their eye in public. ij.org/police-have-...

By this same logic, Donald Trump bears direct personal responsibility for the murder of Melissa Hortman, the assault on Paul Pelosi, the guy who showed up armed at the Obamas, the attempted pipe bombing of several prominent Democrats, the January 6th rioters who assaulted cops, and many many more.

even someone like me, who thinks the WHCD is fucking gross, can understand that it's not actually a WH event, and will never be held inside a WH ballroom. (but do note that the entire WH is treating it like a WH event, and the press is largely entertaining that perspective.)

The lawless slaughter at sea continues. More than 6 months into this make believe armed conflict, the Trump admin still won’t disclose who these “Designated Terrorist Organizations” are. The armed conflict is fake, but the killing is real. There’s a word for premeditated killing outside of war.

GOP circa 2016: "Awww do the liberals not want to leave their safe spaces?" GOP circa 2026: "And President Trump deserves a ballroom because the outside world is mean and scary and he shouldn't have to deal with it."

I'm rewatching the Chernobyl series on HBO, and the opening voiceover from Legasov resonates: "What is the cost of lies? It's not that we'll mistake them for the truth. The real danger is that if we hear enough lies, then we no longer recognize the truth at all."

Idk man, I think the journalists who have been traumatized the most were not sitting in that room tonight. The feds gassed the shit out of us, knocked us over, sent in the local PD to harass, detain, and hurt us, shot a teenaged photographer in the face and he lost an eye, and that's just in LA

From his invitation to the potential shooting, this whole dinner has been one giant metaphor for how Trump has been covered by the press in the last decade.

Seems reasonable, think about everything that the attendees needed to deliberately ignore in order to show up in the first place

Add to this list the complete ignorance and lack of care about the working-class people who are forced to prop this farce up, despite real risk to themselves.

If this was, in fact, an active shooter situation, treating it like a minor inconvenience so you can go back to your fancy dinner is the most end-stage American capitalism display I could possibly imagine

Trump has posted "LET THE SHOW GO ON" in relation to getting back on stage and I repeat: even if this is all real, it's fake.

So let me get this straight: Somebody just tried to have a go at the most unpopular president in U.S. history and was (maybe?) killed by law enforcement agents in the lobby, so the roomful of journalists present on the scene are… going back to finish their entrees and have another cocktail or two?

OR JUST WRITE THE THING YOURSELF FOR FUCK'S SAKE IT WILL TAKE LESS TIME THAN WHATEVER THE FUCK THIS IS mashable.com/article/sinc...

A whopping 14 paragraphs into this piece: "Trump Jr., meanwhile, is an investor in Polymarket and a strategic adviser to Kalshi, its top competitor. A representative for Trump Jr. last month said he was not involved in any discussions the government might have with the companies."

What Bovino means: About a third of the population isn’t white.

it is important to emphasize that this was *the point*. this was *intentional*. elon musk is a vicious white supremacist who thinks poor african children ought to die, so that the world can be whiter

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

Uhhh… welcome? There’s, uhh, pie and punch in the back.

This is the kind of thing where, if you are a Democrat in charge, you haul Kash Patel's ass in front of a committee and give him one of the worst days of his miserable life. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/22/u...

Yes, I agree, Microsoft should have an "A.I." (Abolish ICE) button in every app.

She is the best pure talent currently on the national stage.

The acting head of the CDC has canceled the publication of a study that found that the Covid vaccine sharply cut the odds of hospitalizations and emergency visits last winter www.nytimes.com/2026/04/22/u...

And, without fail every update to every app, website or piece of software in recent memory has made it more irritating in some way. This isn't just me "preferring things how they used to be". Bugs are never fixed - all updates do nowadays is shoehorn in some sort of vaguely irrelevant bullshit.

I'm done. If it requires an app and an account, I'm out. If it requires monthly payments, I'm out. I'm tired of paying more time, attention, privacy, and money, for the minimum viable experience they can get away with delivering.

Trials. From top to bottom, the whole chain, from the White House to those pressing the button.

as it becomes clear that Yes has won in VA and gerrymandering will pass, a message to Republican voters: you brought this on yourselves you convinced the most fairness-obsessed, That Wouldn’t Be Fair-minded voters in the country to affirmatively vote to put you in the dumpster you earned this

Evergreen

I would submit that a gerrymander by politicians saying fuck the voters and one by voters saying fuck the politicians are two wholly different animals

Bondi's former chief of staff Chad Mizelle: "Part of the reason the weaponization work has been difficult is that you need people who are MAGA and who are really competent." From @paulareidcnn.bsky.social and other @cnn.com folks:
