Spanish researchers have documented the first known case of a female-only pair of Bonelli's Eagles successfully adopting and raising young:

In November I broke this story about Andrew Paul Johnson, a pardoned J6er who molested children and used the promise of reparations to bribe his victims silence.

There are fuck-ups, and then there's this krebsonsecurity.com/2026/05/cisa...

You're never going to believe this, but some elected Republicans are just gutter racists www.nbcwashington.com/news/politic...

I don't know where this bizarre idea that China has universal health care comes from, but it very much does not by any normal standard. It has a highly tiered system that brutally discriminates against rural patients and imposes often crippling financial costs.

Trump on saying he doesn't think about Americans' financial situation: "It's a perfect statement. I'll make it again. Everybody agrees."

Holy shit this piece will melt some eyeballs. Writer argues Dems need to take drastic, even once-unimaginable tactics in response to Voting Rights Act being gutted. He writes: "Patience is the enemy now" and we have to stop asking people for it. betterdonkey.substack.com/p/the-vra-wa...

UPDATED with a statement from Tina Peters and comments from her laywer, who says upon release Peters plans to work on "getting rid of these fraudulent voting machines."

African soldiers fighting alongside Achilles? Shame on the 6th century bce Greek artist for desecrating Homer! He(?) will never live it down!

Free Hugs (part 2).

Well, colour me surprised...

sorry, man, if a politician talks to you like this in your role as a journalist, and you do nothing but sit and grin at it in response, what, exactly, do you think the public should think of you. why should anyone else care what trump says about you when you don’t appear to be bothered by it

Female nightjar at St Mary's Island Wetland this pm. Just the best birds... #nebirding

They think that you’ll just move on after they dodged your question once or twice cause you have limited time. I’m more than happy to spend my entire time getting the answer to my damn question.

BREAKING: SB 2471 has been signed into law! It’s the first of its kind in the nation and renders the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision irrelevant in Hawaii. This is a win for the movement to get big money, especially dark money, out of politics.

Saturday march will be dedicated to Paata Burchuladze and other political prisoners! Paata Burchuladze, 71, a globally acclaimed opera star is sentenced to seven years in prison after taking part in anti-government protests in Georgia. 💔 @protest24.bsky.social

Here it is, a Bluesky exclusive: The goth legends of baby birds The best baby American Coot encounter of my life, 2hrs next to a pond dangling my camera less than an inch above the water, cut down to the best 8 secs, and slowed down to 25% speed, and set to Clan of Xymox' "Jasmine and Rose" 🪶 🐣

Farage is well aware that the British press in full kill ‘n’ rend mode means platoons of journos on his doorstep every day for weeks and hacks going through his bins for incriminating info. He has good reason to be very afraid of that and wants to deter it, never having experienced it before.

This has been such a persistent issue with the @nytimes.com in particular, and criticized so often, that you really can't see it as an oversight anymore, but as a deliberate policy of contempt towards other media outlets.

If we don't collect data on COVID deaths, then there are no COVID deaths.

Enshitification captured in one image.

I've seen planes at lower altitudes

Pedo-trolling.

Republicans and Trump voters are significantly less likely than Democrats or Biden voters to visit their primary care doctor, to trust them, or to follow their advice. They will go to the ER, but they don’t trust the healthcare workers there, and they won’t listen to them either.

Garbage. Kash Patel secretly snorkeled the USS Arizona, a military cemetery entombing 900 sailors, during a hidden Hawaii layover the bureau never disclosed. Nobody will say who authorized it. A Marine veteran called it a bachelor party at a church.

Pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered. The Roberts Court, by being so unrestrained in its extremist partisanship, has brought upon itself the circumstances which have made Dem court packing in the near future, once a fringe position with little mainstream support, an increasingly likely possibility.

So not only did TN Republicans strip Memphis of representation, Speaker Sexton is also stripping Dems of committees for protesting it. Watch fascism work. www.wsmv.com/2026/05/12/m...

Under the U.S. Moratorium Protection Act, the National Marine Fisheries Service must identify nations whose fishing fleets catch sharks on the high seas but fail to adopt shark conservation measures comparable to U.S. law.

This is a man bragging that his lawyer kept him out of jail. Trump’s not saying he’s innocent of crimes—he’s saying he’s only a free man because of lawyering.

Trump on Iran War: Reporter: What extent are Americans’ financial situation motivating you to make a deal? Trump: Not even a little bit. I don't think about Americans’ financial situation

ICE agents are walking around with a list of 20 million people to detain in their pockets because of this Palantir database: www.404media.co/ice-agents-h...

Hong Kong police have arrested a 12 year old for allegedly trying to create "an explosive" after the child was seen mixing baking powder and vinegar in a video posted on social media. Police say the damage would have been "unimaginable" if the experiment went out of control.

Please make a video compilation of "Trump Greatest Naps" someone who has the skills to do so. There's been a lot of them lately.

If your only strategy is “vote harder,” you probably need to be open to the idea of “govern harder” or you’re going to lose everyone

I see alot of that today. Especially among Black people. People think that demanding better of our elected officials--for Palestine, for healthcare, for clean air and water, for human dignity--is what led to this. And if that's the case, this isn't a country. It's a prison.

I don’t know what bedtime stories they tell themselves about objectivity. When you’re doing stories that take 17 paragraphs to get to an opposing view, it’s not journalism. The ATU is perfectly capable of serious work, but on climate and energy in the past year it’s 🚮

Joe Biden was old and not as sharp as he should be, and the New York Times wrote story after story about it. Trump is old and out of his damn mind, and the NY Times steps carefully around the issue. Why? 1/2🧵

We're back to Hunter Biden y'all

Trump is struggling to stay conscious on camera in the Oval Office again today

First time I’ve seen Trump underwater in Alabama in this poll. (He’s +9 with Alabama’s 2024 voters, but even that represents a pretty significant decline.)

my sincere thanks to the people of Hungary

Interesting to see ANFREL observing the 2026 Tibetan Parliament-in-Exile elections. A reminder that the #Tibetan diaspora has sustained a functioning democratic process across dozens of countries for decades, despite statelessness, influence operations & political pressure anfrel.org/anfrel-obser...
