The Trump administration has authorized the use of cyanide bombs to kill off animals on public lands.

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.

Saw this chart and had a thought so I ran some numbers… r=0.85

Well, well, well. In 2025, Brendan Carr’s wife “joined billionaire Peter Thiel’s data analytics firm, Palantir Technologies, as its head of global policy.” 4/28/25 … 1/ www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

Finally got around to watching FD Signifier’s video breaking down the 4 types of Black MAGA. OMG, add Thomas Chatterton Williams to that 4th group.

If you're reading this, my cat and I have boarded a one-way flight out of the United States. The Trump administration wrongfully denied my work permit renewal; after months of demanding that they follow the law, we have run out of legal recourse, and I have no choice but to leave the country. (🧵)

just open contempt for the united states as a pluralist and secular democracy. and a reminder that the function of the fiction that the united states was founded as a fundamentalist christian nation is to establish a hierarchy of human worth with white christians at the top

I feel like everyone who’s used it as a therapist needs to see this “By using it, Client waived confidentiality”

🤦🏻‍♀️

The Supreme Court of the Confederacy: Only Republican maps can be approved. States rights only apply to Republican states. Discrimination laws are mean to protect white people. Same for due process. Unitary executive theory only applies to Republican presidents. Precedent means pre-1860.

Seems pretty racist

Lmao

I don't believe any of them actually care about this. It's just all engagement farming and rage bait for remedial teen boys.

Someone in network has to personally know Charles Yu, right? Anyone willing to pass a message along to see if he’s willing to write a note to the teacher?

Some white teachers are so unqualified to teach novels dealing with anti-Asian racism!! A white teacher is trying to tone police a student who I tutor because she wrote in an essay that Charles Yu's novel Interior Chinatown criticizes how Asian American representation is limited by Hollywood.

I wrote about all the useful idiots (like Matt Stoller and Ro Khanna) that told us we could strike useful alliances with fascists and how disastrously wrong they were

Over 60% of women who have abortions are already mothers, and they are making that decision in the best interest of their existing children. Happy Mother’s Day.

God she never f'ing misses.

virginia voters should call their delegates and senators and demand that they ignore this illegitimate ruling

Pete Buttigieg took a brief leave when his son was in the ICU and Republicans still attack him for it to this day. But Duffy goes on an extended vacation to shoot a reality show while there are all sorts of pressing problems with air travel and Fox News thinks it's awesome. Beyond parody.

Ohio Republicans overruled their state Supreme Court to implement their gerrymander anyway: Time for Virginia Democrats to do the same.

Opinion | You cannot trust Democratic politicians. They aren’t who they claim to be. by John Barron and Maye Musk

Honestly the whole populist approach to politics kind of baffles me. When someone speaks to me with their full intelligence on display, I take that as a sign of respect. If they're dumbing down & trying to manipulate me with bonhomie, I take it as a sign of condescension!

yeah dawg when you have to start arresting people because they are better at posting than you, you are cooked

*sigh* everything that Jemele says. youtu.be/gdaQZRb0p6M?...

NEW—Video shared w me by a witness shows another angle of NYPD officer throwing a protester to the ground during an anti-ICE protest outside Wyckoff Medical Center in the early hours of Sunday morning + has helped identify the officer. His name is Hubert Mohamed, The Handbasket is first to report:

Hmmmm, who do I trust more to look out for women, Smith College or a Trump appointee currently being sued for covering up years of sexual abuse?

This bait will 100% work

I think it’s time that CA find a progressive primary challenger for Schiff. He’s clearly in the pocket of oligarchs & not advocating for us.

Nice work, @insidehighered.com This is a perfect headline & lede.

Dr Elizabeth is back with more public health is everywhere. This time in your home. #PublicHealth

Props to this creator for having a nuanced take on this discussion. As someone who enjoyed the first movie, I get that the assistant is an homage to Andi’s arc, but the sequel also used a racist stereotype. The API community is justifiably upset and deserves to be heard. youtu.be/jTN2kNhGprE?...

Anyone who wants to end birthright citizenship wants to bring back slavery. Those same people also claim non-citizens have no rights—not the right to protest against deportation, nor the right to not have police break down their doors, nor the right to defend themselves in a proceeding.

There are some cheaper electric cars out there. These are the top 10 with at least 200 miles of range. evchargingstations.com/chargingnews...

Fun start to cross-exam. OpenAI attorney William Savitt asks about Musk's earlier testimony, when he said: “No, Tesla is not pursuing AGI. It’s literally trying to make a car drive from A to B.” Savitt then showed Musk an X post from a month ago: "Tesla will be one of the companies to make AGI"

Rivian’s attorneys taking notes

Anyone have info on who is paying for astroturfing campaign on Nextdoor against the billionaire tax? I hopped on to check a pet post & was bombarded with several unhinged posts.

A more useful application of autonomous vehicles.

There was a mass shooting this morning at Indiana University that has left nine injured. The Indiana Daily Student has been facing pressure by Republicans and school administrators to shut down the print edition all year. Why isn't Donald Trump or legacy media corps reporting about this huh?

Watching Hasan Minhaj interview Ben McKenzie (aka Ryan from the OC). “I’ve heard crypto described as Mary Kay for men.” 😂🎯

Just learning that Bernie endorsed billionaire Tom Steyer for CA governor. He also endorsed Graham Platner for senate in ME. Just a reminder that Bernie has never distanced himself from Bernie Bros. Also, the man has been consistently anti-immigrant. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
