Since a Minneapolis police officer murdered George Floyd in 2020, the number of people killed by the police each year has continued to rise — and Black Americans are still killed in disproportionate numbers. Our data reporter explains his findings. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/24/u...

An absolutely piss-poor series from Draymond. Every time he had the ball in his hands he looked out of control. Hope Curry comes back and stays healthy next season.

Crazy how long this conversation has been going on

#SenatorMurphy gives Homeland Security secretary and dog-exterminator Kristi #Noem an absolute spanking of epic proportions..

Some of the cruellest people I've ever met have been religious leaders, police officers, teachers, and doctors. A police officer pursuing me romantically bragged about murders he's committed. You think felons, people with the least amount of power in society are the ones who are really fucked up?

Princeton University’s student newspaper is reporting Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth plagiarized portions of his senior thesis. www.dailyprincetonian.com/article/2025...

Today, we wasted time voting on renaming the Gulf of Mexico—a name it’s had for almost 500 YEARS. We’ve got folks losing healthcare, schools underfunded, and rights under attack. We’ve got real issues. Prioritize THAT.

President Trump has issued an executive order seeking to block all federal funding to NPR. This is the latest in a series of threats to media organizations across the country. Whatever changes this action brings, NPR’s commitment to reporting the news – without fear or favor – will never change.

the Irish were considered subhuman, monkey-like, barbaric, before Britain engaged in the transatlantic slave trade. so initially race was never about skin color. it was about British power and dominance and later British colonial rule.

I keep my head down and turn out good work and I just barely made rent this month, but a lady calls a kid the n-word at a playground and she raises a half-million dollars in a week. I don't get the world, and I don't like it. We are surrounded by rotten dogshit assholes and they're thriving.

The hack is back #NBAPlayoffs

My newest hustle is to sign onto foreign-produced films as a producer, I will do nothing except be the dude required make a film produced by Americans, my fee will be a mere $10k per film plus I get to be one of the producers listed for the "Best Film" Oscar, that's fair, hit me up, foreign dudes

“And I’m like, what do you mean, you ‘do your own research’? You running a double-blind study in your living room, dawg?” - A guy walking ahead of me with his friends on a NYC sidewalk in 2021, also my favorite overheard dialogue of the entire pandemic

Watching Dillon Brooks choke on the defensive end in the clutch brings me so much joy.

The Golden Age of Corruption www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

There is quite possibly no NBA player I have ever loathed and prayed on his downfall more than Dillon Brooks. Bro has the most punchable face in the league.

Attorney General Pam Bondi announced that federal authorities may once again seek reporters’ phone records and compel their testimony in leak investigations, reversing a policy that was designed to protect journalists from intrusive government efforts to identify and prosecute sources.

🚨🚨🚨BREAKING NEWS: Was just passed this from a fellow service academy grad. A Coast Guard Academy graduate posted this. They are reporting that ICE entered base housing and took a USCG spouse. I can’t confirm this but I’m calling for answers from the Coast Guard and Congress. This is unacceptable.

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

Didn’t Harriet Tubman have narcolepsy? I’m pretty sure I learned that when I was a kid because, y’know…I read books.

Serious question. Kristi Noem was pictured with a Rolex in El Salvador, and got 3k in cash stolen. She has been on a govt salary for years. Something aint right

“It's hypocrisy to call yourself a Christian and chase away a refugee or someone seeking help, someone who is hungry or thirsty, toss out someone who is in need of my help. If I say I am Christian, but do these things, I'm a hypocrite." -Pope Francis

PLEASE let this be true

Laughably incompetent

Facts matter

I think a lot abt how marginalized people are expected to be perfect just to be treated w/ basic dignity, just to access legal protection. But democracy can’t mean rights for the respectable few. It has to mean fair and just treatment even for those seen as least deserving. That’s the real test.

Guys, I love all of you, but the answer to RFK, Jr. is not that autistic adults hold jobs, pay taxes, and get laid, it's that everyone deserves to live even if they can't work, pay taxes, or get laid.

Back to our discussion about men using AI to make shortcuts on actual work…

It’s a month since the administration detained and disappeared a green card holder, a lawful permanent resident. We cannot allow this to be normalized or forgotten.

In years to come, the people who did this will be the ones who will go to jail.

The United States kidnapped an innocent man and sent him to a prison in a foreign country without due process, ADMITTED they were wrong, are leaving him there to be a slave and are now bragging about it. If you think this cannot happen to you, you’re incorrect. This is MONSTROUS.

He’s tanking the economy, destroying our standing in the world, depriving women and LGBTQ communities of their fundamental rights, attacking the environment, disappearing legal immigrants, gutting Veteran’s benefits and Social Security. And he’s making you pay for his golf trips while he’s at it.

A lot of "post-left" personalities like Brand claim they were pushed away from the left but were in fact drawn to the right as a means of escaping accountability for their own actions

Russell Brand has spent the past few years aligning himself with the American right as allegations of sexual violence were made public against him. He knew he would find defenders and protection among their ranks. That should tell you everything you need to know about what the party represents

So good. 🤡 @brendanvduke.bsky.social

Wow. Rep. Jake Auchincloss minces no words about Signalgate on Piers Morgan: “Pete Hegseth is lying to the American people, lying to Congress, lying to the military.” “It’s incompetence incarnate…It’s embarrassing & it’s dangerous.” This is how it’s done.

Good morning. Listen, you have to just decide. They are not taking the Black Smithsonian. Resolve it in your spirit.

Gosh. If only there were an historical analogue we could study to learn about the horrors of rounding people up without due process and sending them to torture camps in other countries.

When you look at the list of institutions they want to defund: libraries, museums, the Smithsonian, public schools, PBS, NPR, archives, you can clearly see that the real threat to an authoritarian regime is an informed and educated public

Since January, SpaceX has received over $560 million in government contracts—an amount projected to surpass $2 billion in taxpayer funding by year’s end, averaging roughly $6.1 million per day. Follow the money and see where it goes.

There are junior sailors in training school with a better understanding of how to handle classified information than the Secretary of Defense and the Director of National Intelligence. Let that sink in.
