First Nations are bearing the worst of Canada's wildfire crisis. Indigenous-led organizations are leading the most grounded response on the ground. If you can give, here's where to start: → Anishinabek Nation 7th Generation Charity: an7gc.ca/donate/ → True North Aid: truenorthaid.ca

So the U.S. has gotten itself into a situation where the State Department is now warning Americans about traveling...anywhere. "The Department of State advises Americans worldwide to exercise increased caution." travel.state.gov/en/internati...

Tomorrow, the House will vote on the NDAA, which includes a provision to merge parts of our military with the IDF. This amendment is an existential threat to American sovereignty and democracy. Every member of Congress must vote NO.

Holy shit, I can't wait for insurance to not cover THIS, too! /s

Journalists: How difficult is it to walk into a hospital and go to a patient's room to see if they're dead or alive? Because either no one's tried that, or it's somehow impossible if that person happens to be a member of Congress. I'm really curious and I'm not a journalist so I don't know. Please?

"SO I TIED AN ONION TO MY BELT, WHICH WAS THE STYLE AT THE TIME"

Lettuce pray.

That ludicrous display last night in Washington, D.C. was without style, class, taste, skill, and art -- not to mention obnoxiously loud, boring, mostly orange, and toxic. And so was the fireworks show.

For a second, I thought someone microwaved Jeff Bezos.

I miss having friends.

Today may change everything. If the conservative majority in the Supreme Court strikes down the constitutional guarantee of birthright citizenship to give the President or Congress the power to make exceptions, we will be in another country on the other side of the decision’s announcement.

These are the actions of an authoritarian regime, where their agents come to intimidate you if you share public information about how they have killed American citizens

"None of the local hardware stores have the fasteners I need, so I'm going to check Amazon..." No, my friend -- please let me introduce you to the wonder of wonders that is McMaster-Carr.

My Pops picked up photography about ten years ago, but the pandemic turned him into a full‑blown student of the craft. He spends many of his summer evenings capturing hummingbirds — and recently learned their wings can act like tiny prisms when the light hits just right. Magic in motion.

Sums it up nicely

It is absolutely true that Dems need to win swing voters to win elections. The misdiagnosis is that swing voters are “moderates.” They are not. They have almost entirely incoherent politics. You don’t win them from the middle. You appeal to your base with conviction and hope swings like the vibes.

Sub-BSkying today in video form

Colbert arrives at the Obama Library opening in a tan suit. 😂

The internet sucks now. I type into a search engine "baking mix vs ap flour" and every search result starts with some bullshit like I just arrived on Earth and don't know anything: "When it comes to baking, having the right ingredients is important. In the following article, we'll explore..." NOOOOO

When I was small I thought people in charge were working to make the world better. Now I'm grown and the world's first trillionaire is a man who was welcomed into the US federal government for his racism, which he used as a motive for mass murder. I am so tired.

I want to support public broadcasting but NPR plays the "Nice Polite Republicans" bit way too much, they structure everything around it so that readers are led to believe problems caused or made worse by Republicans are acts of god and forces of nature.

Remember when President Obama put his feet up on his desk?

🤥 Susan Collins 30 years ago: “I’ve pledged that if I’m elected I will only serve two terms. 12 years is long enough to be in public service.” @headquartersnews.bsky.social

Transphobia confirmed to make you come in fifth

…Are you kidding me? This country's treatment of voice actors is fucking abysmal. Aqua Teen Hunger Force essentially built Adult Swim, & if there were any justice, Carey Means shouldn't have to work another day in his life. Between this & Andy Merrill's trouble, i just… what the fuck. What the fuck.

Really? They went with the Absolut Vodka font? That's so fucking lazy and cheap-looking. #RIPUNO

She was all peanut butter, no jelly.

This one's for the old school #Trekkies like me.

I don't think the U.S. will ever repeat that experiment: the only time they ran it, the public decided they didn't want a president who wore a sweater and valued human life

Not even a criticism of Becerra in particular, but in general, the total collapse of ambition in American politics remains one of the bleakest ongoing trends. It's just a competition between gangsterism and pensionary politics. Nobody believes in the future anymore.

Calvin Duncan was in prison for 30 years until his conviction was finally vacated Last year he was elected as the Orleans Parish clerk of criminal court Republican lawmakers then eliminated that office and now the Lousiana SCOTUS says Duncan cannot serve apnews.com/article/calv...

Happy Pride Month, everyone! :)

All that's left of CBS is...

Milquetoast is still cheap.

During the immigration raids in Minneapolis, Robert Rice (White Earth Ojibwe), the owner of Pow Wow Grounds, gave away thousands of pieces of hot fry bread to protestors and activists, keeping demonstrators warm and fed at a time of upheaval.

Damn. RIP Rob Base. Fuck cancer.

Fusion centers (not exactly the most "woke" institution on the planet) are now worried that the Department of Homeland Security's tweets are too racist and attracting the wrong people. theintercept.com/2026/05/21/i...

That teacher in Queens also knows that 2 × 0 = 0 you arrogant scrotum.

we live in a banana republic. international joke.

just absolutely clownish levels of corruption embarrassing clown shit country where every major institution has failed to keep pace with a buffoonish combover con man operating at a fifth grade reading level

Why doesn't some reporter ask Trump how his crypto is doing and just let him incriminate himself?

Trump did not reach a settlement with the government. There was no case to settle. He has not created a slush fund. He has colluded with Todd Blanche to steal money from the US Treasury. This is not a “deal.” This is a crime for which Trump & Blanche must be prosecuted. It ia a crime.

This. All of this. #Pinks #ProudBlue

I find it interesting that the liberal SCOTUS justices seem grounded in the real-world effects of laws while the conservative justices seem more like they're just doing thought experiments (with the exception of Clarence Thomas who's simply pursuing a personal vendetta).

How to Be a Real Man, 2026 GOP Edition: -Drink whiskey, smoke cigars, make sure it's on camera -Claim you'd kill for your kids, but barely parent -Say you could beat up a bear -Say an out-of-shape 80-year-old can beat you up -Express pants-wetting fear of cities -Be an asshole to women -Whine a lot

The pastor who put up that golden Trump statue must be guilty of at least one serious crime. That's just what I have to assume since the administration is basically a pardon shop.
