Wonderful news!

It's a simple equation: it was costlier for the company to lose subscriptions/theme-park/ad revenue than to kowtow to Trump, so it made the decision to bring him back.

You’re telling me that a man whom the FBI has on tape accepting a 50k bribe was not only not prosecuted, but promoted so he could send masked agents to kidnap day laborers on minimum wage. I feel like I’m going insane.

Kimmel was fired for criticizing the president. That milk toast white man said nothing about Charlie Kirk. This is just authoritarianism 101. I've lived it. I know. Wake the fuck up America.

"Big Tech’s ambition is to create an archive of everything we do and everything we are—an aspiration that is unprecedented in human history. The only thing that comes close can be found in religion." I wrote about Vauhini Vara's Searches @thenation.com (free link!) www.thenation.com/article/soci...

Fuck yeah! You wanna be in the Gestapo? You better own that shit with your full fucking face you fucking cowards. “In Chicago, law enforcement cannot wear any mask, covering, or disguise” Officers or armed forces must also display their federal agency, last name and badge number or rank”

There are currently wildfires in every province of Canada. My cousin on Vancouver Island had to evacuate from his home late last week. It's been messing with my head, as someone who grew up in B.C., to think of that normally rainy place burning. A CURSE on petrocapitalists & their cronies.

It would be more honest if more people would say "I am doing OK amidst the horrors being suffered by others." It's actually not true that everything is terrible for everyone right now. We're living under unequally distributed fascism.

I don't trust anyone who says they oppose Trump and support Israel because the apartheid state is the same kind of racist far right government that Trump is. So you're okay with fascism as long as it kills people you personally don't like? Is that it?

NEW: Apple CEO, Tim Cook, arrives at the White House with a 24 karat gold gift for Trump. When the history books are written, these compliant, knee-bending billionaires will be excoriated. They will be labelled co-conspirators. (🎥 CSPAN)

Today we learned Andrew Cuomo is directly coordinating with Donald Trump, even as this President sends masked agents to rip our neighbors off the streets and guts the social services so many New Yorkers rely on. It’s disqualifying and a betrayal of our city.

Horrifying. The damage they've done will take generations to put right. cpb.org/pressroom/Co...

www.reuters.com/graphics/USA... - this is torture

Paging @padilla.senate.gov and @schiff.senate.gov, who are quiet as church mice while Palestinians starve before our eyes.

When I’m waiting for reviews of my new book.

While progressives often get accused of undermining the Democratic Party, the evidence shows that it’s the moderate wing that most often violates the “Vote Blue No Matter Who” principle. https://trib.al/ayccoO7

Glad to see people writing about the fact that Vote Blue No Matter Who only applies to leftists.

“He hasn’t done anything wrong other than not being born in this country.” 💔

Democratic Senator bragging that she fought to keep a prison open in her state. What limited imaginations these people have.

Neither Republicans nor Democrats give a shit about a an American being beaten to death by a mob of extremists because he’s Palestinian and the murderers are Israeli settlers.

LA: “Your children will one day grow up and know their fathers or mothers were kidnappers against our own people.”

I love that former NYT public editor @sulliview.bsky.social is public-editing from the outside. "With this made-up scandal, combined with the pre-election editorial, the Times looks like it’s on a crusade against Mamdani. "And no lofty explanation about the mission can disguise it."

I'd been holding on to my subscription from @nytimes.com because some sections do valuable work, but the paper's coverage of Mamdani has pushed me over the edge. They published misleading information and granted anonymity to a fucking eugenicist in order not to be scooped by... Chris Rufo. I'm out.

Elon has sold investors on pipe dreams and sci-fi fantasies. Maybe he can hold them a bit longer, but eventually the reality will catch up with the share price. #teslatakedown #MuskMustFall www.wsj.com/business/aut...

What once was a shocking war crime now happens every day.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

A gross violation of students’ first amendment rights. What an embarrassment for UC.

He proposes releasing some ICE prisoners to labor on farms where the employers will “own them” and be responsible for them. Historians have spent decades meticulously proving the straight line between slavery and modern capitalism’s concept of the laborer—or we could just let them say it.

🚨🚨🚨

I hope people in this city NEVER forget what these bastards did. It was disgusting.

I cannot imagine a happier pub day gift for @UGMAN than having @NPR compare me to Thomas Bernhard! ("The Loser" was a direct influence on this one.) www.npr.org/2025/06/24/n...

War crime upon war crime upon war crime.

New York, I love you, please go out and vote for Zohran Mamdani today and please please please whatever you do, don’t rank Cuomo.

The lessons that many across the Middle East will take from these strikes are that negotiations with the U.S. aren’t to be trusted, and the only thing that can stop further aggression from Israel is securing a nuclear bomb as soon as possible.

Elon saying he’s going to reprogram his chatbot’s view of history is a perfect example of why these kinds of AI products aren’t the neutral “tools” people always defend them as. They’re little political projects reflecting the ideologies of their creators

The Los Angeles Press Club says law enforcement officers have violated press freedoms of reporters covering anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles more than three dozen times. https://n.pr/3Zw0tPg

Some people are pretending not to understand who is actually backing Cuomo. The Dem establishment in NYC has operated as a client-based party for as long as I have been alive.

So basically the protests were peaceful except that two competing cop departments accidentally went to war with each other

Just so we're all clear: It's not a coincidence that the first senator they've used physical force against is Sen. Alex Padilla, a Latino man representing California.

Democratic Senator who was assaulted for peacefully protesting:

This totally outrageous and unacceptable. Padilla represents the people of California and he is there to ask questions.

There's a lesson here for a certain kind of conservative Asian American but their whole careers are often premised on not understanding that lesson, and acting like the lesson could never appear or apply to them.

Save Laila. Free Alaa.

For the third time in as many days, Palestinians in Gaza have been shot while trying to get food. Israel has acknowledged that its soldiers opened fire on people who were approaching them.

I'm genuinely sorry that Fetterman had a stroke and suffers from depression. But arguing that he has a free pass not to do his job in the name of destigmatizing brain injury and mental health struggles is offensive. If he can't do it, he should resign. If he doesn't want to, he should resign faster.

A U.S.-born citizen who was wrestled into the dirt, handcuffed and detained in a vehicle as part of an immigration raid had a REAL ID on him that was dismissed as fake, the man's cousin said Friday.
