I’m really glad I bought an EV last year. I love it, and it’s good to see it’s making a difference overall.

Imagine if they just subsidized newspapers and magazines the way they’re subsidizing this slop

Oh, f*ck off

Knives out

This is where I live. It’s ruby red here, and trust me, these older ladies are not flaming liberals.

Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024. This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500. And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?

Shapiro: He rose to some prominence by writing a book about growing up in Appalachia, where there are a whole lot of people who get SNAP. He made millions of dollars off telling their stories, and then he turned his damn back on those very people he likes to write about and claim as his own.

Zohran Mamdani got more votes than the total population in five states.

I’m always surprised we don’t talk more about AWS as a single point of failure — and hence of vulnerability to censorship pressure.

We will being selling books this weekend at Lit Youngstown! Photo by: @kimjacobsbeck.bsky.social of the Youngstown State University campus from a previous visit.

I like to think Beckett himself would have delighted in this review (via @luxalptraum.com ht @ykomska.bsky.social)

Portland City Councilor Mitch Green and veteran encourages those currently serving they can refuse unlawful orders.

Agreed. I don’t think enough people get that a lot of the “guest” voices on MSNBC are former Republican operatives, as well as a few hosts. These were Bush admin people. They are partially responsible for the politics that allowed Trump an opening.

Feckless, eh? Oh, Marco.

I’ve been wondering if Tylenol’s parent company can sue them. Anyone know?

Where I live, it’s WKRC.

Okay, cool! Then let’s bring back the Fairness Doctrine!

Fuck yes to this

Don’t take the bait.

This is an important point. Also an important point: the media keeps referring to what Trump is doing as a “domestic crime push” when it FLAGRANTLY is not that. It’d be easier to resist Trump’s autocratic moves if the media stopped parroting his nakedly bad-faith “crime” framing.

The whole 'debate me' act is bullshit, from Charlie Kirk or any other right winger. It's theater to platform hate and give them an audience. The humanity and right to live their lives in peace of our fellow Americans - LGBTQ folks, people of color, women - ARE NOT LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR 'DEBATE'.

Yu!

Oh. My. God.

Good for him. I hope more follow his lead. Thank you for your years of service, Rep. Nadler.

When you consider that businesses are run by dictators—that a firm is not a democracy—it makes sense why a series of rich guys at the top of the capitalist world think government can be run without following any laws.

Come on, university presidents and provosts. The voters are in your side. Fight back.

As chair of a department that includes English, languages, and the arts, can confirm.

Take a look. Not ICE. Just ordinary “officer friendlies” doing what this country allows them to do to unarmed Black men. Remember?

What’s the environmental impact of this?

Wow, shocking 🙄

Repost if YOU are going to a No Kings Day rally on Trump’s birthday, June 14th. This is a great summary of what the events are for and why it’s important to TURN OUT! Please watch and share.

Exactly

Actual remembrance and care.

Pass it on…

Everybody is speculating about what Trump is *trying* to do with his economic agenda, as if he’s in control. Remember when he tried to keep the pandemic under wraps? He’s already lost control of this thing. He will not be able to pull out of this flat spin. Never forget how incompetent they are.

Sign the petition to demand Mahmoud Khalil be immediately released and threats against his legal status be dropped! And call on members of Congress and university leaders to protect and defend the right for students to organize and protest. sign.moveon.org/petitions/fr...

Raise your ✋ and repost this if you're participating.

Again, quit using this shit.

It’s good to remember this.

It’s all bullshit. Don’t use it!

Who could have predicted? Will Trump throw Musk out? Or vice versa?

It does kind of feel like that. Think about it: the election of Barack Obama, the SC legalization of gay marriage, the 1619 Project , etc., have all shown a widening acceptance of a diverse, pluralistic society and the death of exclusive white guy rule. It does feel like they know change is coming.

A competent, professional explanation of the recordings just before the crash.
