If you’re a Labour MP or Democrat who still thinks courting the right will get you votes, you’re not smart enough to govern a damn thing.

It's actually very easy to get broad cross-party agreement if you just make the proposition vague enough! "Food should be healthy" "Bad people should be punished" "Children should be happy" "Things should cost what they're worth"

Ok, let’s try this one more time. Democrats: force a vote to impeach Bill Pulte. Just give it a go! www.offmessage.net/p/impeach-bi...

I see a lot of charts everyday. Few make me go: THIS IS CRAZY. www.carbonbrief.org/ai-boom-mean...

there's a moment early in the film of Ready Player One, where the voiceover says, "the only limit was your imagination", as the screen fills with pre-existing characters & IPs. It would one of the most on the nose satires of modern culture if not for the fact that it's meant entirely without irony

Will someone, anyone, please learn the lesson from UK Labour’s failed experiment in telling voters “the opposition are right but please vote for us anyway”

especially re: 2, one must ask, in what way is this court majority actually opposed to Plessy v. Ferguson?

"A Project 2029 that has nothing to say about either the Senate filibuster, or an ideologically captured Supreme Court, or extreme partisan gerrymandering — among other concerns — is not a Project 2029 worth the time or effort." Amen. Democrats have to address the fundamental flaws in our system.

I would like to congratulate my wonderful wife, @zoandbehold.bsky.social, for winning her primary! She ran unopposed and will also be unopposed in the general, meaning for 3 election cycles in a row, Montana will have a trans woman (and kick ass human) in the legislature.

Bigotry is so brain melting that some Tennessee rescue won't let a friend of friend adopt a dog because she lives within 20 miles of Dearborn.

Last night, the Supreme Court ruled that the VRA cannot protect even against *intentionally* discriminatory voting policies When we say there is no federal statute remaining the enforce the 15th Amendment, this is what we mean

I love how establishments Dems' whole message is "of course Republicans are right about everything but I'm not one of THOSE Dems" and GOP voters believe that all Dems want to forcibly transition their children in satanist Antifa camps

the one thing these people cannot countenance is being Accurately Described. all of this is happening because the internet provided a means for people to Accurately Describe them to their faces. and they lost their fucking minds

Democrats need to loudly promise they will revoke these leases the moment they take power.

Andy Merrill (Brak) is an Amazon delivery driver. Carey Means (Frylock) got CHF from/exacerbated by COVID & was recently working as a restaurant dishwasher. C. Martin Croker (Zorak) died of sepsis from an infected tooth he couldn't afford to get treated. Capitalism destroys both art & artist.

the current director of national intelligence is a guy who two years ago received a trophy declaring he “Fucks Only The Young” at an (oddly dildo focused) event he organized dedicated to the conspiracy that Bed Bath and Beyond never actually went bankrupt

cool, so don’t fund his agency

You sound unhinged if you say it out loud, but the acting Attorney General directed the IRS to stop all ongoing audits of Trump, but we know from leaked tax returns that Trump owes more than $100 million in unpaid taxes, so Trump is basically just giving himself a free hundred plus million dollars.

The truth is that the United States was founded on the idea that some people aren't people. Some people don't get equal protection under law. Some people are acceptable sacrifices because they're not as human as the rest of us.

just because words have meaning: your subordinate cannot, definitionally, create a hostile work environment if you are the person empowered to take remedial action also, more broadly, that’s not what hostile work environment means and also, she’s an idiot and a loser

does he know

Imagine how many faculty they could’ve hired. The administrators who argued for this have consistently argued against paying their faculty a living wage.

Absolute money quote here from SFSU's Martha Kenney on the kind of student an "AI forward" university produces: "This kind of student would be intellectually passive, less likely to see themselves as agents of their own lives."

Fuck me, this is Bill Pulte. The guy who was using mortgage data to launch DOJ investigations against Lisa Cook, Letitia James and Adam Schiff. He is being put in charge of national intelligence because of his track record of being willing to manufacture false allegations to target Trump's enemies.

The average Fox viewer has been trained for decades now to see these things as evil. It works within the Fox framework to deepens their beliefs. That’s why it’s dumb for Dems to appear there. You’re legitimizing and helping to deepen indoctrination.

How could there possibly be a bubble in an industry that has reinvented virtual credit cards to prevent your computer program from spending all your money in the night

The GOP tried a hundred times to repeal Obamacare, knowing they never would succeed, but they knew it (1) gave them a platform every time to push their narrative that healthcare=death panels and (2) showed their base “we are fighting for you!” The Dem version is “sorry, won’t succeed, won’t try.”

I grew up on Cold War spy stories and all of them are retroactively ruined at this point because how do you take a life and death plot to place a mid-level agent seriously when real actual life involves “bill pulte named DNI”

A comment in the Salem, Massachusetts subreddit about the Markey / Moulton race says it all: The Republicans spent hundreds of millions to get anti-trans messages out there in the 2024 election, and he gave it away for free in order to drum up attention for this run.

Not just one job, but often one job that would be considered a bad job today. Store clerk or bartender or what have you. A family that had one working parent who worked at Sears might not be able to afford fancy stuff, but they’d be able to scrape by.

Okay, this would be funny. "The petition, started by Bryce Jones, proposes renaming Wabash Avenue north of the Chicago River as Barack Hussein Obama Avenue, which would change the address of Trump Tower to 401 Barack Hussein Obama Ave." blockclubchicago.org/2026/06/01/r...

“HE WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN” the president says about a congressman who hasn’t been seen publicly in nearly three months, hasn’t voted since March 5, and has yet to tell his constituents where he is.

Very pro-life

this is the type of shit that was kinda cute back in 2012 but absolutely does not fly anymore. stop treating the fascists like they’re your besties!

A powerful Pride month to you all. Stay strong and hilarious 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🤎🖤

Europeans are so much more enlightened than Americans, I’m sure their deportation camps will have fresher food

well, here's a nice metaphor as we work on dreaming the next chapter after this one:

Financial experts were alarmed over what some have described as a financial “coup” being carried out by Elon Musk, one that could see tens of millions of Americans unknowingly prop up his unprofitable company SpaceX through their retirement accounts.

comic about AI thing that happened at work yesterday... crazy times

another day, another story about the administration's war on knowledge itself, all in service of allow its corporate patrons free rein to rob us blind and poison our world www.nytimes.com/2026/06/01/c...

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/...

"C,mon bro. Please. Just 580 more cops bro. 580 more cops and it'll be perfect. 34,749 cops in New York City is not enough cops bro. We are so close. We can't stop now. Look at the pictures bro. Look at them. That's not enough cops. We only need to add 580 more and it would be enough. Please bro."

tbh i had to check the date on this opinion because that dude is definitely writing this same story today lol

People keep using "it is happening to CIS women!" as a wake-up call but, not to scold, it's also bad when it happens to trans women. It's a fucking wild thing to do, to yell and threaten someone in a toilet.

Why is everything so fucking stupid.

Too tired for this shit, because it's just too bleakly funny that Seema Malhotra has managed to sum up Labour's entire approach here. Lickspittle, speak to the manager, make someone else do the violence, I just have some concerns but my hands are clean. Cowardice on cowardice on cowardice.

the trump official — who led the siege & occupation of Minneapolis — admitting to having an ongoing dialogue/rapport with Martin Sellner, a straight-up Nazi who influenced the Christchurch shooter, while speaking at a conference about remigration (read: ethnic cleansing) is a pretty big deal!

good stuff; speaks to the way they despise and dismantle governance but aspire to be an all powerful fascist government without the means and competence to permanently bring the full scope of their desired horrors to bear plus an awful lot of dumb fucking memes and reverence for MMA

the president is bored with his war

the amount of gall it takes to post this after voting for hr 2616 shouldn't be able to be contained by a single human being and yet here we are. breathtaking in the temerity on display here. good lord.
