Ossoff: This is what small men like Donald Trump and JD Vance and Stephen Miller will never understand—that our national greatness flows not through our blood or our genes, but through our ideas.

Tech companies sell a myth of AI as a creative mind, a romantic companion. Things it can't be. Why? It’s propaganda. Because a useful, limited tool isn’t profitable enough for billionaires. In this Next Comes What, Andrea Pitzer explains why we don’t have to accept it.

Great episode. Gave me hope!

“…the Gov’t of the United States, which gives to bigotry no sanction, to persecution no assistance, requires only that they who live under its protection should demean themselves as good citizens in giving it on all occasions their effectual support.” ~Pres. George Washington, 1790. Image: LOC.

"He's doing these things now because no one will honor him when he's gone" is a very good line of attack against Trump.

I understand why towns put police in schools, but there is a really dark side to this when it’s done wrong. This expose about Texas is damning. Kids being slammed against walls for vaping. A disabled student hogtied.

This is true and I’m glad he said it. But our economy has become valueless. It teaches us that a “good” company is one that abuses its workers and makes poisonous products - as long as it makes a huge profit. It’s hard to build a moral nation without a moral capitalism.

If your business requires me to download yet another app to use it, odds are pretty good at this point I am not going to use your business. It's like a part-time job at this point. Enough.

“donald trump’s brownshirts” Ossoff going way harder than i expected wow

“Everything costs more and that’s a good thing” is a CRAZY economic message from the White House

Hakeem Jeffries just left Delaney Hall & immediately said it should be shut down. Human beings, not criminals inside, treated cruelly, for no reason. The Trump regime is running a concentration camp it refuses to let anyone examine, & that refusal is the confession. @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social

Please don't forget that there is a very solid second candidate running on the Democratic ticket, and to the best of my knowledge he doesn't even have a Nazi tattoo. he's a career USAID guy from an ACTUAL working class family

"Eventually, though, what's left of the free press will have to reckon with the fact that the far-right fringe is now the modern world's governing elite — and openly declaring an intent to repeat the 1930s. That's a story."

Sen. Andy Kim: "It's a choice. Delaney Hall is run by GEO Group. GEO Group is getting a nearly $1 billion contract to run Delaney Hall. They tell me there is one full-time doctor for 800 detainees. They could have more doctors if they wanted to, but that's cutting into their profits."

The regime’s response to Ebola is what you'd expect from the man who had the worst COVID response on earth—except DeSantis, who was installed by a man whose passion is plotting the mass deaths of Black and brown people. They don't see public health as a duty; they see it as an opportunity to cull.

Imagine if a woman president crashed the economy and started a war with no end in sight, and her biggest, seemingly ONLY concern was building a ballroom and redecorating the White House.

It’s going to be very hard for Europe to hold the incongruity of criticising Russia for invading Ukraine and doing nothing while Israel invades Lebanon.

I'm going to argue that they might as well bring Scherzer back Friday night. It's better than any currently available alternative. Give Miles the extra day and next time through Cease should be available.

it had to end at some point.

Privatizing prisons and detention facilities is one of the worst public policy decisions this country has ever made. bsky.app/profile/atru...

The only positive thing about this story is that it's indicative of how the internal culture of many state-level GOP organizations (even in purple states like MN) has become increasingly dominated by extremist weirdos who say and do stuff like this that repels everyone outside their tiny circle.

Spokane may be small, but this is important for everyone, and deserves national attention: The conviction of the Spokane 3 has chilling, far-reaching implications for nonviolent protest, free speech, and democracy. @hcrichardson.bsky.social @maddow.bsky.social @chrislhayes.bsky.social

Every so often, when I feel like I'm too forgetful and scatterbrained, I check in on the Google AI overview and then I feel better.

This is the message. Any Democrat willing to sacrifice trans folks—especially kids—will sacrifice anything.

The agent for the bands that initially signed up for Trump's Freedom 250 concerts is named JEFF EPSTEIN?

Point.

They don't have to figure out how to hit you if you are going to give them the base for free

Remember, if some rando online alleging to be a leftist says something outrageous, that definitely means "the Democrats said it" But if an elected Republican, perhaps the president himself, says something wild, that is in *no* way reflective of what Republicans believe and it's unfair to say so.

i think this is accurate and worth thinking about. A D vs D governor's race would all-but guarantee a wipeout of Rs in all the competitive House seats in CA and in a bunch of other swingy downballot races

Do it in a rhinestone jumpsuit you coward!!!

It is very easy to manipulate modern recommendation algorithms to boost certain kinds of content (see: Musk and X). It’s probably Not Good that the thoughts, worldviews, and behaviors of hundreds of millions of people are downstream of those biases, which can be set by a handful of people

hey guys, your favorite manosphere podcaster here and for todays episode we’re gonna spend 2 hours looking at pics of dudes and breaking down how masculine they are, but first we answer the age old question: how gay is it to buy flowers for a woman youre in a committed relationship with?

Seems irresponsible to highlight Vance’s “anti-fraud work” without any context whatsoever about the unprecedented fraud taking place in the administration he serves, and to frame the paragraph based on what Vance told the crowd in a partisan speech, including using the word “fester.”

This is a news org agreeing to one candidate's bigoted framing and then telling us it's what really matters. Shame on NPR for playing into this bullshit.

Hey remember when Trump said he didn’t know what Project 2025 was and the super serious mainstream media swallowed it? 😕🤷🏼

Judge Mehta doesn’t want to quietly dismiss the seditious conspiracy conviction of Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes. He’s asking the Trump administration to justify its decision to try to erase the case.

Here's why so much election analysis is basically useless: A race decided by a point and a half can be blamed on almost anything. Most party autopsies don't stand the test of time, and the narratives that get pushed are mainly exercises in confirmation bias www.gelliottmorris.com/p/2026-05-29...

this is true for mayors too. between wildcat strikes, manipulating data, and maybe kidnapping your kid, the cops have all the leverage.

It’s impossible to discuss the mass firings at “60 Minutes” without talking about Donald Trump. Watch the full episode of Power Lines: youtu.be/gMVBz177-Fo?... Or listen via a podcast app: www.status.news/power-lines

Consider supporting this effort.

If I were a Democratic leader, I would see oil prices about to shoot up, while people are already upset. I would see Republicans blowing off people's concerns. I would anticipate a massive midterm victory, and I would be thinking about how to use all that momentum to do *big, ambitious things*.

This Vought policy is an attempt to choke out American higher education. America's fascists view its institutions of higher ed—and the people who staff them—as existential enemies of the purified nation

I love when cool writers send me galleys of their upcoming books. @juliekliegman.com

This is not the US-China trade war. How Brussels is confronting Beijing's new swagger as well as the flood of Chinese products with import tariffs, industrial policy, and product bans of its own.

I ain’t reading all that. I’m happy for you though, or sorry that happened

Imagine being the person who cut both Taxi Driver and Star Wars, two of the best edited films ever made! Her brilliant career feels infuriatingly brief, cut short by the stress of working with one of the most difficult friend groups in Hollywood history.

It's unbelievable how little understanding there is of this imminent reality.

The Wisconsin Elections Commission is sounding the alarm about the “unusually long time” it took for absentee ballots to reach their assigned voters by mail in the state’s April primaries. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

NEW: Trump's gross Aliens.gov site claims to map where immigrants have been taken into custody, but it includes more 83 spots where Americans alone were arrested. Over 700 locations include citizen arrests. The counter is fake. The music was ripped. And Puerto Rico is listed as a foreign country.
