Holden Thorp is an institutionalist. He's been a university chancellor, provost, now EiC of Science. When institutionalists pull the fire alarm, we listen, because the call to action he issued this week exposes the dire nature of the threat we are facing. 1/ www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

I don't even hate AI as much as others, as I've seen decent use cases for it, but I've never seen an industry try so fucking hard to be despised. Well, mission accomplished assholes.

Attorneys needed to defend democracy.

PAXIS.app confirms: Yes. You can absolutely ask. ICE is our business. If you witness ICE arresting someone, a calm question such as: “Would you like me to call someone for you?” Is absolutely lawful. GET THE INFO TO FIGHT ICE INTO THE HAND OF EVERYONE: gofundme.com/f/PAXIS

An experienced, well-connected investigative reporter with a great reputation, personal loyalty, and nothing but time is a formidable enemy to assign yourself.

They shot and killed two Americans in cold blood.

Trump continues to refuse to voluntarily release his tax returns and that is because he’s a big giant crook.

Hilarious and deeply insightful writing by @brianphillips.lol.

If the “the political system that gave voice to the Black Belt” comes to a close in our post-Shelby, post-Calais world, It will have lasted for a bit more than 60 years. Compare with the Jim Crow system, which, if one dates its origins to the “Mississippi Plan” of 1890, lasted for 75 years.

WATCH: “Friends, listen to what’s being said here. This is extraordinary. You just gave the president and his family immunity.” Trump puppet A.G. Todd Blanche says pushback killed the $1.776 BILLION sedition fund but Trumps still get to do tax crimes, even as he denies it.

All of this administration's decision-making can be fully explained by an indiscriminate desire to see people suffer

Good lord, really at late stage maga here

Pete Hegseth—who never ranked higher than Major—is once again ignoring Generals' recommendations and denying merit-based promotions. For all his bluster about bringing meritocracy back to our military, this unqualified SecDef keeps doing the opposite. An insult to our troops.

Nice job, @colorado.gov (who hasn’t posted here in two weeks after getting ratioed on every post) 🤡

Trump sought to downplay the potential collapse of peace talks with Iran, saying the negotiations "started to get very boring" and that he "couldn't care less" if the talks are over. I guess he will just leave this mess he created for others to clean up. www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

In case it’s still unclear

This regime has its priorities all ass backwards.

Imagine being so unable to love your child that you set fire to the whole damn world instead.

What if we deliberately tried to create good vibes to counteract all the bad vibes?

I would think eventually the press will finally call this administration out that for the 57th time, Iran is not close to a deal, the Strait is not open, Iran is not 100% obliterated and the stories this administration keep spewing is little more than grade A bullshit.

Trump wants to make these people rich with YOUR tax dollars. Sit with that for awhile.

Wow. Jameis Winston gets real about the continuing relevance of history. "I'm from a city Birmingham Alabama..." Watch the whole thing. youtube.com/shorts/zhxbT...

This is the most American thing I’ve seen all day. We can be better people and a better society by understanding our history.

Sen. Andy Kim: "People are angry, frustrated, feeling like they're seeing and hearing about things happening on our soil with our taxpayer dollars that are not in line with our values as a nation. I feel it too."

Oh man, what happened to America after the great Coolidge presidency? Was it awesome? I bet it was awesome.

Oh hell yeah @amnesty.org comes out swinging: "Amnesty International finds that standalone generative AI systems... are fundamentally incompatible with IHRL. As such, Amnesty International is calling for a prohibition of such systems." www.amnesty.org/en/documents...

We’re in Banana Republican territory.

Remarkably, the Yale commission ignores the question whether the loss of trust might at least partially be *caused* by the political assault from the Right that has escalated in recent years. Opinion among self-identified Republicans is not unaffected by what their political leaders are signaling.

The last 10 years in a nutshell: Nazi: I’m a Nazi! Media: Outspoken Man Touts Unconventional Ideas Nazi: No, I’m just a Nazi. Media: Meet the Dapper White Nationalist Who— Nazi: No, seriously! I’m quoting Mein Kampf! I love Hitler! Media: Why Both Sides Have an Extremist Problem.

will they write an equivalent "James Talarico attacked Ken Paxton for releasing a child rapist, putting release of pedophiles front and center in the race" piece or do they only amplify GOP attacks for some reason?

Oh is that how it works? One candidate is such a corrupt criminal that his own party tried to purge him, a crook who pardoned a pedophile and is loathed wide and far. But he plays the man card and now it's "front and center" in the race? "Sorry, folks, the crook said we have to talk gender!"

“If we are going to do a third Reconstruction we need politicians who conceive of themselves as working on behalf of a constituency, rather than would-be-saviors…And, like the people of Minnesota, we need to do the work to be that constituency…” www.liberalcurrents.com/aoc-for-pres...

Took me a minute but then I'm a middle aged straight white guy who has been known to tuck his polo into his shorts

DC Police Officer Daniel Hodges-- who defended the Capitol on Jan 6-is suing to stop Trump's $1.8 billion terrorist slush fund. He explained that Trump's fund is designed to incentivize future attacks on Trump's behalf by his base. My interview of Daniel: youtu.be/AYte8q8RO2s

Exactly. He’s an idiot. But we knew that.

There's going to be a political price to pay, and these cowardly Republican senators are sooner or later going to be more afraid of the people who put them in office, than Donald Trump."

"[Republicans] know darn well how corrupt this administration is, and they are starting to feel the heat because Americans are starting to feel the pain of the tariffs of the increased gasoline prices ...

Saywhatnow? responsiblestatecraft.org/israel-us-mi...

Everything about this is fake. The Pentagon is recruiting hundreds of troops to pretend they’re spectators at Trump’s UFC cage-fighting event. They have to pay their own way and meet height and weight requirements. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

fuckin weirdos

Fascinating piece by @mashagessen.bsky.social on how Hungary tells us the way to beat an authoritarian is with an enormous popular movement led by uncorrupted people committed to radical reconstruction. So Indivisible, not establishment Dems. AOC, not Josh Shapiro. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/29/o...

At this point, Americans are no longer taxpayers. We're fraud victims. And we want our fucking money back.

A woman in Arkansas was seeking care for a life-threatening miscarriage. Under the state’s strict abortion ban, no doctor would treat her. “Our hands are tied behind our backs,” one doctor told her. “Tell your friends to vote differently.”

Once again: German universities were the envy of the world before the Nazis rose to power and took an ideological wrecking ball to the entire enterprise. If you want to know how long it took for German universities to recover… they haven’t.

To drive home the point further: this is a former Trump administration official who is collaborating with a man who received support and corresponded with someone who then went on to commit one of the worst acts of terrorism in New Zealand’s history.

Man best known for being completely wrong about absolutely everything makes a fool of himself once again.
