My dad died of Covid 5/10/20. Trump was doing his 5:00 p.m. daily press shows then. The language transcribed below is identical to six years ago. (I have autoplay set to off just to not hear Trump.) The PTSD that this little bit elicited should earn me two free therapy sessions.

It’s staggering How swiftly states in the South can still move to stymie Black voters And how ready they were to do so

Well, of course this asshole would. He’s got to go. And, until then, should be shunned and never given a moments reprieve.

Guys. Heads up. Let’s talk about Hantavirus. There have been SEVERAL bad takes and BLATANT misinformation circulating regarding this outbreak so I figured it was a good idea to make a thread about it. Stay calm. Stay vigilant. Know your facts. Here’s ALL you need to know. 🧪🧵⬇️

This week, Trump painted a more dire picture of Iran's situation, saying “their economy is crashing,” their currency is “worthless” and "their missiles are mostly decimated." But U.S. intelligence offers a much more sobering assessment:

I completely agree that Democrats should run on ripping out the diseased roots of corruption.

Reminder that Florida voters passed a Constitutional amendment in 2010 banning gerrymandering with 62% of the vote and the Florida GOP just stole the courts and ignored it. By contrast retaliatory gerrymanders in CA and VA passed with the approval of voters. Yet media portrays them as equivalent.

Teaching kids AI literacy - what it is, how it actually works, what the tradeoffs are in using it - would be a good thing. But that's not what's being proposed, they're trying to get it into grade schools to create AI dependency

Define irony: after an incredible night of defense from second and short, three straight Dodgers singles are deflected by Wetherholt and Winn, cutting the Cardinals lead to 3-1 with two out in the ninth.

CARDINALS SILENCE DODGERS #Dodgers 2 | #STLCards 3

You’re killing me, Smoltz “…couldn’t be further from the same..” ?

Oh this combo is going to be fun to watch— Wetherholt to Winn make it look easy #stlcards

John Smoltz, thou art painful to listen to

Unlike many cancers, colorectal cancer has become more lethal for people at younger ages. Doctors are sleuthing out why.

Say what you will about Biden’s age, I don’t think anyone thought it might be a factor in ending life on earth.

Can someone let the AP know that violating court orders is not a sign of "executive power. " It is a sign of contempt, lawlessness and authoritarianism.

Jordan Walker pounded out four hits, the Cardinals got homers from both lefties in the middle of their lineup, and a shorthanded bullpen came up big. Through 20% of the season, they are on pace to win 95 games. Isn't that a thing?

Been sitting with how many Black Civil rights leaders bled and died to ge the voting rights act only for it to be struck down by this white supremacist supreme court. This is from bloody Sunday which catalyzed passage of the VRA. It's hard not to shed tears at what we've lost.

the word “ballroom” will from now and forever evoke a fingernails on chalkboard reaction from me

But Karen Bass gave Trump an Olympic torch …. 🫠

Let me be even clearer—the issue I’m pointing out is not that Dems or libs were insufficiently partisan (that’s a different problem), it’s that SCOTUS is arguing that if it’s polarized by party then it can’t be polarized by race. This argument was boosted by the polarization obsession

I'll restate my oft-stated position that democratic self-government in the United States is not possible unless this Court and its manifest corruption are thoroughly reformed. civic democracy or this corrupt court. can only have one.

The court has simply recreated the pre-Brown world in allowing racial discrimination across a broad number fields as long as it is “facially neutral,” gutting the Reconstruction Amendments in the process.

OK so they have at long last allegedly found a Secret Service officer who allegedly “observed the defendant fire the shotgun in the direction of the stairs leading down to the ballroom.” Took four days? And there’s still no physical evidence? www.nytimes.com/2026/04/29/u...

Despite creating a billion-dollar franchise - with a new $200M budget Hollywood blockbuster launching in a month - the creator of He-Man's family were unable to afford his dementia and care facility costs, and had to setup a GoFundMe. Mattel gave $5,000.

I wrote about California gas prices spiking during the Hormuz crisis, & the huge amount of disinformation about why. Turns out refineries have a cartel, they've raised their profit margins $1/gal in two months, & they charge branded stations higher prices, which gets passed on to drivers.
