cis men learn to care about consent awful quick when AI of them is involved, I happen to notice

The Washington Post's description of the bodycam video of his arrest last year, and the translation of Mr. Shah Alam's comments, is gutting. Remember, he was entirely blind in one eye and could only see three feet in the other, and he spoke virtually no English. He spent a year in jail for this.

It seems like it's WAY harder for young people to sway the older Trump voters in their lives than it is to sway the actual Trump.

imo the threat posed by CBS News and CNN getting absorbed by pro-regime billionaires isn't that they're going to produce right-wing slop that convinces people to be right-wing, it's the dismantling of newsrooms capable of doing investigative reporting on the administration. Fewer eyes on the street.

After the arrests of powerful men across the world, you might be asking why the US has so much trouble holding its leaders accountable for lawbreaking. Since Nixon, all three branches of government have worked hard to ensure they can break the law with impunity www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

I have thoughts about this as a chart, but I remain baffled how anyone thinks that AI will bring about an end to scarcity. Like, *this* is the thing that will prompt the oligarchs to ensure that everyone has what they need? *This* will be the thing that breaks greed's grip? Sure. OK.

Many news outlets are reporting that some trans Kansans received letters warning that their licenses were being invalidated overnight. This morning, Evan Urquhart spoke with a trans woman who found out on Bluesky that it would be illegal to drive her car. www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

It seems all Kansas-issued trans drivers' licenses are invalid, effective tomorrow It is now illegal for trans people to drive a car until they surrender their license at a DMV (that most will need to drive to) and have it reissued with the wrong gender marker This was never about woman's sports

Did a lil double-take at this but she sure as hell isn't from the Richmond County (VA) I grew up in, bc (shouldn't have to be proud to say that) being obviously racist at my school resulted in immediate suspension

I don't know what annoys me more: being forced to do a GoFundMe when the guy created a franchise that spawned one of the biggest movies of the year, or doing a GoFundMe when you're part of the richest country in the world but incapable of looking after the health of its own citizens.

This is some BS, now in article form! USPS workers withheld this woman's mail for years bc they didn't like that a Black woman was renting property to white people Now the Supreme Court won't let her tort suit move forward bc you can't sue over "lost" mail 🥴 ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/posta...

someday, a bunch of us who have watched way too many of these speeches for work reasons need to form a support group, maybe hold a little convention somewhere and have group therapy sessions

Hey this is a pretty solid Dem response, VIRGINIA REPRESENT

State legislative seats DRINK (... okay that's just me)

Hahahahahahahahaha her flag pin is bigger and fancier than Trump's

House of Burgesses! DRINK

i used to think the snl impressions of eric and donald jr on snl weren't that accurate, but they just cut to them and this is literally the faces they were making

After pointing at Democrats and saying they are "crazy," Trump says, "We’re lucky we have a country, with people like this. Democrats are destroying our country, but we stopped it, just in the nick of time." Just insanely destructive. Indefensible — but Republicans stood and clapped.

who did this

NGL this speech is giving Hitler vibes (just trade out one unjustly maligned group of folks for another)

"rate payer protection pledge" sure doesn't sound the least bit enforceable which definitely means that big tech companies will totally abide by it what could go wrong

personally if I were sitting behind a man proclaiming that my entire job was meaningless and my power was as dust in his eyes I would not smile and clap and nod and stand but that is one of many ways Mike Johnson and I are different

This is why you do stunts. This is why you do stunts. This is why you do stunts.

Imagine claiming that "prices are plummeting downward" with a straight face

Donny where’s my check?

LoL he's really still up here defending his stupid, extremely illegal tariffs that Americans paid more than 90% of

Arizonans are poorer, hungrier, and worse off than when President Trump took office. We knew that before the State of the Union and it will still be true after.

My body is a temple but Trump's is a Spirit Halloween

This is still going and is much better than whatever this... speech is, just saying

Anyway please remember this trash next time Trump and Republicans claim to care about women's sports, they literally do not

NEWS tonight: Democrats have successfully defended state House seats in Maine and Pennsylvania. Dems have narrowest of majorities in each of these 2 chamber. A GOP gain in either would have meant that Dems' majority is over soon. More details in my Bolts guide: boltsmag.org/whats-on-the...

if inflation is down why is Trump bestowing the presidential medal of freedom on the men’s hockey team goalie

He is repeating himself and going on weird tangents and he is going to fall asleep before he gets to the end, calling it now

“Unlike other US Olympians speaking out against this regime, men's hockey players chose to be lickspittles.”

Winning gold is cool and all but laughing at a misogynistic joke about women who won gold in your same sport is shitty so gtfo dirtbags

This man is not okay why is he screaming

"We ended DEI in America" just in case you didn't fully grasp that he's a raging racist

RESULT: Democrats defend a pivotal House seat in Maine today in a special election. Scott Harriman will join the legislature. Had the GOP flipped the seat, they’d have been very likely to entirely erase Democrats’ narrow majority later this year when another vacancy is filled.

Mortgages are down but no one can afford to buy a home so

And I assume the Republicans who assaulted him disagree

Okay who are the thugs assaulting Rep. Green wtf

How does his hair look even worse than normal

Omg who's the loser wearing the Trump tie

Hell yup I'm watching this, nothing but respect for my president

The biggest news of the night is that Trump’s effort to steer control of CNN to a lackey by threatening the corrupt use of regulatory power is moving closer to reality. www.mediamatters.org/cnn/trump-es...

Republicans are going to put @bencollins.bsky.social out of business

What we lose by phasing out the mass market paperback: accessibility. My mum loved the library, but if I needed my own copy of a book for school, she knew the shops--even department stores--nearby that might have it in mass market. My first copy of many classics. www.theguardian.com/books/2026/f...

congrats to the mens hockey team for letting a demented 80 year old sex criminal steal your shine and make himself the center of your accomplishment
