Cops busting through a barricade that they set up is pretty tough to misinterpret.

Mikie Sherrill campaigned on "I'm a tough military pilot who isn't afraid of Trump and will stand up to Trump!" The first time she's tested, she works with ICE to beat up her own citizens. And her backers explain "she's working with Trump STRATEGICALLY, because she's scared of Trump." OK, got it.

Genuinely insane post-hoc reasoning from Raj Parikh here; a pretext to make this the next Minnesota? What the fuck was the pretext for Minnesota to begin with?

#OtD 30 May 1937 the Memorial Day massacre occurred when Chicago police opened fire on a peaceful march of striking steel workers and their families. The police murdered 10, shot, beat and hospitalised many others. No police were prosecuted stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/1031...

Remember when Bernie Sanders unveiled his plan for free college for all Americans, and everyone said we can't afford it? We just spent more than that amount on Trump's war in Iran.

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!"

whatever the republican candidate says is always "front and center" in any given american political race.

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.

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.

ICE is holding “a man who has Stage 3 lung cancer,” Kim told reporter @alexjn.bsky.social. He wants to “spend his final months… with his family. But they just won’t let him go."

zeno's peace deal

The degree to which this isn't going to happen has never before been seen

Well holy crap. Erin Brockovich (yes, the same one the led the Hinkley, CA toxic groundwater lawsuit in ‘93) launched a website tracking AI data centers across the US and the ecological impacts to the environment and drinking water. MN is riddled with them. www.brockovichdatacenter.com

Minneapolis City Council members should be doubling down on a waste, fraud and abuse message regarding Frey and O'Hara. MPD has delivered 10s of millions in budgetary overruns the past two years under O'Hara's watch and he and Barnett cannot even answer basic questions about it. Frey in charge 1/3

the main thing i will always remember about john cornyn's time in the senate is when he said it was understandable why people would want to murder judges who issued rulings conservatives dont like. an episode democrats dont bring up about their good buddy john across the aisle.

the police are defunding us

Feds raid homes of anti-deportation activists. "[HSI agents] executed a pre-dawn raid on 13 May at the home & business of Leonardo Martinez, whose group VC Defensa runs a rapid response hotline.... The homes of two other... volunteers were also targeted." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

You may remember Republicans absolutely losing their mind when Obama released $1.7 billion in frozen Iranian assets.

Congratulations on your wedding Don Jr. Sorry for distracting your Dad with this important work.

She looks like she invented racism

Trump is asking the people that thought they were going to be killed to sign off on a reward for the people they thought were going to kill them. Seems like a great idea.

This is extremely lawless and corrupt by the Trump DOJ. So, par for the course. The presumption of regularity is a joke now, and federal prosecutors won’t recover the esteem they had from federal judges for a generation. (Which, actually, is fine.)

Real question: the fuck do you guys think the word meant before

Again, that this stuff doesn’t immediately end his presidency is a total failure of Article I of the Constitution. A complete collapse of the polity.

BREAKING: Sen. Ed Markey calls for Trump's impeachment.

the argument about whether they should or shouldn't impeach is going to be pretty academic when trump starts trying to arrest Ds who got elected to the senate and the house in mid november. 1

I'm not a Democratic strategist, but I would like to think that "The Republican Party is taking your money and giving it to Trump's criminal foot soldiers as a reward for their loyalty" is a pretty easy message to run on in the midterms!

Everyone should pay civilization fees (taxes) because we all benefit from society, though people who are able to extract the most out of society should pay the highest civilization fees!

basically the whole thing is the result of a conspiracy involving less than 10 bilious transphobes, most of them at The Atlantic or the NYT bsky.app/profile/kiss...

it's a double-edged sword, in the sense that both edges on the sword are useful and good

Whoa, hold up there Jeff—who said anything about "double"? You pay an effective tax rate of 0.98%. We want to centuple your taxes. Then again, you'd still be a billionaire, so maybe more than centuple.

“.. What we are talking about is nothing short of the sitting president of the United States looting from the Treasury for his own gain,” she said. @financialtimes.com www.ft.com/content/5733...

1. Number of stories about Trump buying and selling hundreds of millions of dollars in stocks in the first three months of 2026: CBS: 0 CNN: 0 Fox News: 0 NPR: 0 PBS: 0 Politico: 0 Semafor: 0 Business Insider: 0

There's no "study," this is based on a crank manifesto with only four footnotes written by a bunch of health grifters. Why is the Guardian covering this like it has any academic credibility?

I recall discussing Jan. 6 with "very serious people" in the immediate aftermath. I said it was a moral imperative & critical to the survival of our constitutional republic that Trump be impeached, convicted & barred from office. I was told I was being hysterical (rare insult for a straight man).

the truth laying beneath both of these reasons is that taxing the rich is a matter of self-preservation

Billionaires must be targeted with tax policy and antitrust policy not because it helps everyone else (though it does) but because their political power must be limited so they can't wreck the world the way they're currently doing

Trump Requests $1.2 Trillion To Have https://bit.ly/3RjdlH1

At this point, journalists who still persist in declining to talk about racism and cruelty as key GOP motivators are essentially colluding in writing fiction about the present state of politics and of the country.

also god they always look SO SMUG when talking about "ai is the future, it's gonna do what you can't, i live in a fantasy land made of other people's labor and wage theft"

If you really can't say "AOC is better than Tucker Carlson," you are on the right-wing. You see a basket of extreme right-wing views from one of Trump's friends and find it compelling. Nothing else you say about your political orientation makes the slightest difference, you're just a right-winger.

the thing about the institutional apparatus of the dems is that it’s the biggest collection of losers we’ve seen in my lifetime. despite 2 governing trifectas in the last 18 years and the presidency for 12, they’ve overseen the return of segregationists and the end of bodily autonomy for women

The Physicians for Measles Caucus in the US Senate is losing its most prominent member, as Republican Bill Cassidy, MD and RFK Jr. confirmer, has lost the primary. Many Republican Senators have violated their oath of office. Bill Cassidy was one of the few to violate the Hippocratic oath as well.

I have been lectured to my entire life that the greatest sin in politics is to look down on these cosmically ignorant fuckwits, or to hold them accountable for their decisions. We're just supposed to flatter their Illusions and dutifully repair all the shit they destroy.

yes. the clearest path to deal with the SCVA ruling is just to say that it wasn’t a constitutionally valid exercise of judicial review. because it wasn’t!
