for reference and comparison: conservatively, the United States spent two-thirds of that figure in the *first week* of the war on Iran. it's genuinely difficult to overstate how many world-historical own goals US politics has accumulated over the past few decades

we're going to spend the next month and a half showing the entire world our whole ass

Talking to women who have endured sexual violence, abuse, substance abuse and recovery, and multiple arrests/ incarceration, their PTSD is rarely recognized and almost never allowed in court to reduce lengthy sentences.

This is a rapidly escalating catastrophe that the trump administration and Elon Musk in particular bear acute responsibility for. The destruction of USAID eliminated the very organization best equipped and located to deal with this in the early stages. And yes, every other country has to step up.

you're not a real society unless you give people valid, livable alternatives to whatever the dominant socioeconomic paradigm is every argument winds up at meaniningful, non-means-tested, UBI, safe secure permanent housing, & a safe, well regulated drug supply for all

I masochistically can't stop scrolling

someone on Twitter once posted a breakdown showing how many gay men died of AIDS in various districts of Florida, overlaid with how many votes Gore lost those districts by in 2000, and I've genuinely never been okay since. there literally would have been no George W. if those men were still with us

oh look who hates a man show all of a sudden

I recall that Mr. Gugino died a few months ago at age 81, without seeing justice served. To think he lived all his decades to experience towards his end such despicable treatment, not only by police but by the POTUS, a grand jury, and an arbiter, all who saw nothing wrong with what the cops did.

Here is a woman running against Graham Platner in next week’s primary. Maine has options.

Here are the quotes about slavery, immigrants and the Vietnam War that the National Park Service plans to scrub from an exhibit at Bunker Hill as too "corrosive" for real Muricans, plus 2 quotes about women voting that reduced a MAGA visitor to tears www.universalhub.com/2026/nationa... #Boston

Graham Platner having a literal axe to grind feels a little bit on the nose as far as writing goes, to be honest

I can't stand looking at him and apologize for RTing this ai slop image into your feeds but this is hella funny

If the administration has money in the budget for 600 ADDITIONAL cops, it has $100 million to adequately fund our public libraries. You should sign up to testify to this with us next Wed: bit.ly/June10Testify

I hope as Senator Dr. Cassidy goes to sleep every night he hears the anguished cries of the loved ones of the people he condemned to die by voting to confirm this ghoul. To the end of his days he should be reminded of the harm he caused.

God it still hurts to watch stuff like this. Same with clips of Bourdain. Such gifts they had 😢

"This is about us being able to look power in the face and speak truth to it, even if our voices shake." Hell yeah! LFG!

WEDNESDAY 9AM rapid response call with Detention Watch Network coalition to learn how best to support ICE detainees on hunger strike and labor strike, from the people already supporting them locally. RSVP at: buff.ly/4fviz5q #ICEout #Delaney #Adelanto

Chrono feed FTW! (And climate chaos FTL) This post from UFW was a perfect compliment to the repost of this article. Yikes!

one prompt!

Welp there’s no unseeing this

After ICE deported Wendy Hernandez Reyes, it turned her 3-year-old son Orlin over to her sister’s estranged partner, who tortured Orlin and beat him to death. I can’t say what I think should happen to those responsible without violating this website’s TOS. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

Throwback to when a TV station in Iceland accidentally aired an episode of Teletubbies with subtitles from the Sopranos 👌🏼

california is gonna have so many mail in ballots that don’t get counted because people don’t know the new USPS rules that are impacting mail in voting. tl;dr don’t put your ballot in the mail today, find a ballot drop box. www.kqed.org/news/1208537...

Don't fuck Republicans!

Yes. Using a computer now feels like this at all times.

Watching the #ChampionsLeague Final and thinking about how strange it is that the World Cup starts HERE in less than two weeks and seemingly no one is excited about it. This should be the most joyous time Imagine how much more exciting it would be GLOBALLY if Kamala had won. Trump Took World Cup 🤬

I love that there's incontroverible proof Talarico is straight in this picture and it isn't the girlfriend.

This is interesting. I've been thinking about this as we've watched one branch responsible for oversight impotently surrender their authority (Legislative), one branch try their damnedest to push back (Judicial - except for SCOTUS), all while the "cops" (DOJ) are working for the crooks (Executive)

This is so on the nose!

You can tell a man who hasn't ever cleaned for himself decided on this because if you knew how to clean you would know what you need to do. Someone said that all modern tech is trying to do is replace tech bros mom's and it's not hard to unsee this.

this is what Twitter is for now, this is what you legitimize by posting there

Black Mirror episode, except it's real life: If AI companies can steal our lives' work and our image, if they can make a robot doll of us and sell it to others, then legal personhood no longer has meaning for anything but corporations.

It’s insane how expensive medical care for your pet is these days. There is NO way my family could afford this kind of stuff growing up at the prices they are now. Private equity is a cancer to everything it touches.

This isn't just a fuck off you daft sod. It's a M&S fuck off you daft sod.👏

Louisiana just criminalized being poor. Sleep outside: arrested. Can’t pay the fine or the mandatory “treatment program”? The court orders unpaid labor for the state. That’s not a treatment pipeline. That’s a forced labor pipeline and Republicans built it on purpose. Cruel and inhumane.

President of MIT not mincing words today in @statnews.com www.statnews.com/2026/05/27/s...

This is so good. And the lesson is relevant to any type of creative outlet. I’m a chocolatier and struggled mightily to get the flavor and texture of my actual products to match my conceptual inspiration. Once it clicked it was (and still is!) so satisfying. But you have to be honest w/ yourself.

love that we keep just test-piloting the thing that works again and again and again. did you know that giving people money directly results in good outcomes? WHOA IF TRUE

Never, ever, ever let them live this down. This administration committed mass murder by cutting off foreign aid and destroying USAID. The death and devastation continue every day. Their children’s children’s children should be ashamed of their names.

WTF is going on over at Ethel's house?

I’m really tall but suck at basketball. Skill issue.

Increasingly brazen defiance by conservative cops of liberal electeds and actual laws over the last 10 years is a very grim omen about how the chaos trump is trying to unleash on our country will play

Today In 1993: Texas #Rangers outfielder Jose Canseco has a fly ball bounce off his head and over the wall for a home run at Cleveland Stadium in one of the all-time greatest #baseball bloopers! #Funny #MLB #History

May 26, 1993: In Major League Baseball, Carlos Martinez famously hits a ball off Jose Canseco's head for a home run.

THREAD. I received word that some liberal nonprofits and political consultants are trying to work with establishment Democrats on a political "messaging strategy" to expand surveillance, militarized policing, immigration detention, and overall imprisonment with re-branded language.
