The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion. Read that back. When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

No thank you Wine Spectator. I prefer to be a participant.

Motherfucking wind farms…

If the government had proof of alien visitations we’d definitely find out this week.

We have to assume it's going to be 100x's worse than what we think is the very worst because that's what it will be. I thought separating families and putting them in cages was the worst that could happen and look at what's happening now.

Movie you've watched more than six times with a gif. ("Hard mode" no Star Wars, Star Trek, LOTR OR marvel)

World War 3 kinda sucks, but you know, it was either this or pronouns

I was briefed on the intelligence last week. Iran posed no imminent threat of attack to the United States. Iran was not close to building a deliverable nuclear weapon. The negotiations Israel scuttled with their strikes held the potential for success.

ICYMI: I wrote about Trump’s big parade, and how it’s being covered. And why I’ll skip it, thanks. www.azcentral.com/story/entert...

Worth considering that one reason Bluesky doesn't always feel super fun is that current events are relentlessly horrifying and bad

David Brooks, a conservative columnist speaks about the amount of people who have died directly as a result of cuts to USAID by Doge. Over 55,000 adults, 6,000 children just from AIDS. That’s a total of 300,000 who have died due to Doge’s cuts. It’s only been four months.

Pretty wild to make your entire case about how immigrants are lawless freeloaders, but having to go to their workplaces and court hearings to arrest them.

i want a covid booster tbh

Inside Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill”: Judicial Silencing (Sec. 80121(h)). This might be the most authoritarian section in the entire 1,100+ page bill.

Perhaps if Democrats said Republicans are trying to take away Joe Biden’s Medicare CNN would be interested.

Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” isn’t just about tax cuts it quietly guts federal protections and reshapes entire agencies. Here’s what’s buried inside:

As an elder millennial, I could trade my lifetime of tax contributions to the NEH for one month of Netflix and have just enough left over to get some avocado toast if I split it with two other people

World Central Kitchen has run out of food to serve in Gaza. Its bakery ("recently the last working bakery in Gaza") is out of flour. There are 100,000+ tons of food in staging areas within driving distance of Gaza, and Israel refuses to let them in wck.org/news/gaza-up...

Jesse Watters is a reminder that the only thing almost as bad a putting a Fox News host in charge of the Pentagon is putting a Fox News host on air.

I can't grow crocuses where I live, but I love them, so glass crocuses it is. #stainedglass

My friend works for a department in NOAA. The lead scientist on her project team was told that he ought to take the retirement option now because he's likely out of a job. They all assumed his particular job was safe. She assumes her job going away in the next few months. #noaa #fednews

An elderly holocaust survivor confronts ICE and Tom Homan. His bravery after what he has experienced and endured shows his incredible indomitable spirit even the Nazis couldn’t crush. #MomSky

I wish I lived in a caring, thoughtful country where politics wasn't about winning an election next year, but helping our citizens this year.

What people in every part of higher education need to understand is that Republicans now want to do to universities what they’ve tried to do to labor unions: erase them from the institutional landscape. The question is how much you want to collaborate in your own destruction.

I would like to nominate Maxwell Smart for national security advisor.

These are (among) the stories that need to be told, by the people who are experiencing them, in ways that their families and communities can understand. If the sound is these attacks on science is silence… then clawing back what we’ve lost will be even harder, possibly impossible.

Defending freedom is a basic tenet of what makes America great and keeps us safe. If Elon doesn't understand that, maybe he should leave it to those of us who do.
