Yesterday 🇫🇮 Finland summoned 🇷🇺 Russia's ambassador for talks in response to what it described as illegal threats, the Foreign Ministry posted on social media platform X. yle.fi/a/74-20228443

On this day in 1851, Sojourner Truth, a suffragist and abolitionist from New York, spoke at the Ohio Woman’s Rights Convention in Akron. She probably never used the refrain “Ain’t I a Woman,” but she did mock white men who opposed women’s rights. #WeTheMen blogs.loc.gov/headlinesand...

My homeland is leading the world right now.

The cruel hypocrisy of the Republican party is that they believe in their core that government agencies are worthless, inefficient, wasteful, and corrupt... So they elect politicians who ENSURE they are right.

The Houston Chronicle endorses Talarico for US Senate, noting that his opponent is an indicted felon of poor moral character: "We Texans need someone in the Senate who'll stand up for us, who'll fight corruption, and who'll bring us together to get our country back on track. We need James Talarico."

Endless corruption. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

🚨BREAKING: A federal judge Friday temporarily barred the Department of Justice (DOJ) from moving forward with a massive $1.8 billion slush fund for President Donald Trump’s allies. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

just finished my round trip to my RSS feed with news from the United States. all i have to say, kindly, is: WAKE THE FUCK UP. if you see any movement to oppose this regime, join it now. learn how to mobilize and help others to. This is no time for caution.

Rep. Robert Garcia: "It is a shame that Pam Bondi refused to meet with the survivors. It's a shame that the current Acting Attorney General, Todd Blanche, has done everything to try to hide and essentially evade our questions. He's also not met with the survivors."

So, apparently you can alter history. At least you can try.

We need a constitutional amendment that would empower voters to directly impeach the president during midterm elections

MeidasTouch: #Russia attacks #Romania, a #NATO member. #Article5

We just won a big voting case in New Hampshire. Stand by for details.

We previously uncovered severe structural damage, a bat infestation, and other serious health and safety issues in one rural school district. For nearly two decades, the state ignored the district’s funding request for repairs. (Published 2025 w/ KYUK & @npr.org)

NEW: Alaska lawmakers have allocated more than $148M toward school construction and maintenance following reporting by KYUK, ProPublica and @npr.org that documented a severe health and safety crisis inside buildings used for public education.

Why are journalists being subjected to search warrants in the US? | Caitlin Vogus

You'll shortly read—if you haven't already—that a Russian missile has struck and caused huge damage in Romania, a NATO country. You'll thereafter read that it was likely a mistake and won't cause WW3. But the strike was preceded—6 days ago—by this report:

Gov. Maura Healey reiterated Massachusetts is not a "sanctuary state," and said the state supports legitimate federal law enforcement work, WBUR reported. “That's not what we're seeing from ICE, so we're not going to help them operate in secret as they take people off our streets without cause.”

Martina McBride just pulled out of Trump's partisan America 250 event. 5 of 9 artists have now pulled out.

The climate emergency is manifesting and we have very few politicians and even fewer journalists championing any kind of action. We are heading for an eco collapse and we’re pretending like all is fine. It’s why I decided not to have children 30 years ago. I suspected it would play out like this.

Corruption in plain sight. It will take a decade to fix this debacle. #TrumpCorruption

Trump is trying to slap NDAs on federal workers because apparently the “law and order” guy is terrified of government employees telling the truth. Nothing screams “innocent” like trying to gag the witnesses.

BREAKING: I'm suing Todd Blanche and the DOJ to STOP the $1.8B slush fund. The Justice Department violated the Administrative Procedures Act when it established the fund, and it must be set aside. You can read my complaint here: www.muellershewrote.com/p/breaking-i...

I really struggle when closed captioning is not available. I think a big part of it is that the sound mixing on shows/movies really sucks.

You Can't Keep A Good Book Down.......💪🏻

Another sign of Illinois’ growing importance as a leading life science hub. We’re fostering research, science, and attracting more good-paying jobs.

Breaking Variety: Bari Weiss just ousted 60 Minutes' two most senior executive producers, Tanya Simon and Draggan Mihailoivich, along with correspondents Sharyn Alfonsi and Cecilia Vega, according to two people familiar with the matter.

"Shut yo' goddamn mouth!" The fact that pops got slapped because he said the n-word was no surprise. Why do racists keep doing this knowing what's going to happen? Anyway, the funniest part of this video is when the reporter gets his cue. He had to regain his composure.🤣 *🔊 up*

For nearly a decade, the Pentagon was warned—by its own contractors, analysts, and intelligence agencies—that anyone with a credit card could buy a map of where American troops sleep, work, and store nuclear weapons. Now the bill has come due in a war zone. My latest at @wired.com

@forbes.com Don't recall you running any articles calling out the vile posts of the WH staff.

Rules for thee, not for me. It’s not about hypocrisy anymore, he created a criminal organization with a weaponized Justice Department. Who’s gonna stop him? Probably no one…..

"But no matter how often Trump posts the same whiny bilge, no matter how often he claims he is making the best deal ever, and no matter how deeply he spirals into his own narcissistic orange skull, he can’t change the facts on the ground." — @nberlat.bsky.social

Fuck anyone saying "if this were happening to any other community" when it comes to anti rights backslides and threats to community events. We are all of us facing escalating hate crimes and all of us have been for a long time.

1/ They are coming for all dissent. Those NDAs for federal employees? To them, they’re better than a warrant. Remember the old strategy: put corrupt officials under oath so that if they lie, you charge them with perjury? This is the inverse of that. This is designed not to expose corruption ...

It’s a shame that it’s not getting more attention just who Don Jr’s new wife is. In the late 1990s, her father served as Epstein’s private banker and notoriously wrote a glowing character reference letter for him.

Today is May 28, 2026, and it has been 190 days since Congress passed the Epstein Files Transparency Act. Laws don't seem to matter in America! 🤨

A pound of ground beef is more than the federal minimum wage. Read that again.

We are not waiting for DC to eventually become a military state under martial law now. It is that now in every way with the severity of its occupation by multiple state forces. A problem with Americans is they let fascism whizz by all around them, never being able to face the reality that it's here.

Its so stupid It’s all so stupid

🚨 Kuwait’s Army says its air defenses are currently intercepting “hostile missile and drone attacks,” warning residents that any explosion sounds are the result of air defense systems engaging incoming threats.
