the Austin mass shooter was a Tesla employee who assaulted a coworker during a company-allowed prayer break late last year the company refused to give the victim her assailant's name so she could press charges, and he went on to become a mass shooter www.statesman.com/business/art...

In the middle of an unlawful war and as they fired of one of Trump's top loyalists, Trump's DOJ silently released Epstein files accusing Trump of sexual assault.

NEW: Mamdani's City Hall is discussing charging fees for currently free on-street parking — a policy change that would not only create a new revenue stream but also seize a once-in-a-generation opportunity to improve the streetscape. buff.ly/9C0Iq34

This is a chilling crime. A shame on our country. The Iranian ship was unarmed. The US knew this. The sailors were murdered by our navy, and the survivors were left to die at sea. newrepublic.com/post/207429/...

NEW: Believe it or not, it’s that time of year: the Wisconsin Supreme Court election is next month. Liberals have a huge opportunity: if they win, they can lock down the majority of this court thru 2030. That means they’d have it in the next presidential race, a big democracy guardrail. Share:

The American political class is utterly delusional, adrift in a dream of normality, unable to process the actual reality of events on the ground, where the US just launched a completely unprovoked war against a massive country, murdered its leadership, and demanded its conversion to a vassal state.

I saw some berserker takes saying this can't possibly be real, but it absolutely is. The platforms we use and the media we choose to inform us influences what our kids see as "adult things" and we love podcasts and YouTube and the manosphere knows that and starts pushing content to teenagers

“I have a bomb, I have a bomb. Don’t let anyone in or out of the clinic, or I’ll set it off.” After Trump’s mass pardons of anti-abortion activists, threats and harassment at clinics have surged.

ICE arrested and detained a local journalist in Nashville. Estefany Maria Rodriguez Flores had a valid work permit, is married to a US citizen, and has pending green card and asylum applications... But she has been reporting stories that are critical of ICE. www.tennessean.com/story/news/l...

So i understand (though disagree w) local PD refusing to intervene w ICE. But now that we have bounty hunters doing ice work, what is their legal standing when they brandish guns or run red lights, etc? Have officials commented on this change?

They are still kidnapping our neighbors. Abolish ICE.

2/2 "Later in the interview, the woman told agents she heard Trump and Epstein talking about Epstein blackmailing people and also heard Trump “talking about washing money through casinos.”

‼️ 1/2 "In the woman’s third FBI interview, about three weeks later, agents wrote that she described receiving threatening telephone calls that she said she believed had to do with Epstein or Trump, as well as several incidents where she was “almost run off of the road” by other cars." 🧾 is.gd/FnSdS1

They say MLS can’t compete with Europe’s elite but Miami has Inter’s name, Barcelona’s players, Real Madrid’s politics, PSG’s history and Man United’s dude in all those ads

This is what Hegseth promised. He should spend the rest of his life in a jail cell.

I continue to be gobsmacked at 1) how common this formulation is 2) how antisemitic and generally bigoted it is 3) and how for all the talk of anti-semitism this is never cited as an example even though it’s quite literally the original incarnation.

Really worth watching this.

Having been a landlord who accepted Section 8 and worked with other Mpls affordable housing initiatives, I can tell you for certain, 1 additional month notice before evicting someone shouldn’t break ANY landlord’s back. You have collateral! It’s a building! Any bank will work with you for 30 days!

Jan. 6 rioter pardoned by Trump in Jan. 6 case gets life sentence for child sex crimes

Correction. Orwell never said this. He did however, warn that: "political language... is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.” (That's Politics and the English Language, one of my favorite essays)

One thing about these big camp systems is that they inflict a tremendous amount of harm through sheer momentum. When a system is built to be both negligent and punitive, it tends to cause suffering by default.

A lot of people say AI isn't very good for the world and its outputs are routinely unreliable, but these haters fail to see how it's revolutionizing how we incinerate schoolchildren.

“No front-page stories in NYT, WSJ, WaPo. No mention on NBC and CBS Sunday Shows. No stand alone segments on Evening News shows. A death count on par with the OKC bombing is relegated to the back page.” www.columnblog.com/p/corporate-...

Three or four of these despicable group chats have become public, but here's the thing: It's absolutely certain that there are HUNDREDS of group chats just like them that we'll never learn about. There's an entire generation of groyper Republicans, and in a few years they'll be running the party.

“Almost all the 165 people killed in the attack were girls aged between seven and 12, according to local officials. There were around 170 girls at the school in southern Iran’s Minab at the time.“ A double-tap strike on little girls at school.

We need better Democrats. Not a single dollar more for Trump’s illegal war.

PEPFAR, the program to stop hundreds of thousands of children and adults from dying of HIV/AIDS, was $6.5 billion a year.

So... A friend was supposed to give a PURELY SCIENTIFIC talk at NIH within the next couple of weeks and it was cancelled because of a "new process" where all speakers/talks have to be CLEARED BY A POLITICAL APPOINTEE.

This government hates the military. The US Capitol Police just gave a patch to a Senator who broke a Marines arm. While actual American soldiers are dying in the Middle East. Disgusting shit. J6 part 2 is coming and Capitol Police are gonna help the insurrectionists this time.

It is so damning of US news media that so many outlets refuse to just straight up say that Senator Tim Sheehy assaulted an activist. He did not "help" Capitol police. They did not need his help. He wanted to assault the guy and did. He should resign.

Any one of these deaths is reason enough to shut everything down indefinitely.

Minneapolis Council Member Aisha Chughtai to Chief Brian O'Hara: “You show up to the scene and you see federal agents pointing their weapons at people, and you don’t feel a duty to protect the residents of this community and instead choose to leave the scene?” (1) www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

This is horrifically cruel. “A Haitian asylum seeker held for four months at Florence Correctional Center died Monday at a Scottsdale hospital due to complications from an infected tooth, a local official in Chandler said Tuesday.” An excruciating and wholly preventable death. No words are adequate.

Daily reminder that calling ai dead labor and stolen labor is literal.

Dear Republicans: You now officially own it.

For most of the history of cars, turning right on red was illegal due to its obvious danger, since drivers looking to their left for oncoming vehicles can't see pedestrians in the crosswalk on their right. It should be again.

Okay. Great

WATCH: If you STILL don’t understand how car-dependent suburbia is HEAVILY SUBSIDIZED by downtown and all the urban parts of your city, watch this EXCELLENT video by #NotJustBikes with #Urban3 & @strongtowns.bsky.social. And PLEASE SHARE it as much as possible. I’ve sent it to a LOT of politicians.

1.Internal emails from Liberty University Law School, obtained by Popular Information, reveal how the Trump admin hires interns. Students were informed about "exciting" legal internships at Labor Department. “You MUST be aligned politically with President Trump… GPA is not a strong factor.”

Not enough reporting on the fact that Netanyahu’s government goal of making Iran a failed /crippled state isn’t in the interest of the USA and its Gulf Allies.

A new report by @thedotcity.bsky.social quantifies the economic toll of downtown freeways, and the economic potential of tearing them down. The 66K acres that downtown freeways occupy could yield more than half a trillion dollars of development and over $5b annually in property taxes.

We can’t clean up Washington without restoring integrity to the Supreme Court. That’s why I believe we should expand the Supreme Court to 13 justices. And then, institute term limits. Because an appointment to the Supreme Court shouldn’t mean a lifetime lack of accountability.

Didn’t we just hear the Pentagon had hundreds of billions increased to the budget, unasked, with no clear way to spend it? Struggling to find things to spend it on?

Folks at CURA found that even extending the pre-eviction notice period in Brookyn Center resulted in a drop in evictions relative to other similar places. I don't know what these other folks are talking about

The technology of surveillance is … like it says, the technology of surveillance. When governments can pay to tap into corporate webs of surveillance, what results differs little from a surveillance network under direct government control.

I made a bingo card

“It doesn’t matter what side of the political spectrum you’re coming from, nobody cared about us… we’ve been so let down and our trust is so broken. Everything’s been taken from us.”

ICYMI: Suburban development costs 38% more in upfront public costs & 10% more in ongoing costs than compact development, PLUS has only 1/10th the tax revenue per acre, confirms report summarizing 17 studies. Via @smartgrowthusa.bsky.social The blunt truth? Sprawl is heavily subsidized by ALL of us.

WELCH: Mr. Yoho is also the husband of your former spokesperson, Tricia McLaughlin? NOEM: Yes WELCH: So your former assistant and her husband are the ones that got the DHS no bid contract for $143m. Any dispute about that? NOEM: No.
