I only hope that when it happens there’s a camera on him.

Quiet part out loud alert

Ffs, just vote for @davidcostello.bsky.social 🤷🏻‍♂️

Let’s gooooo!!!

I'm imagining a woman candidate for Senate who works for her mom, blamed men for crimes against them (don't be a jerk & you won't get punched), sexts with various men while she is married to a different one, and has no standard qualifications for office. She's the breath of fresh air we need.

In 1933 Adolf Hitler shook down German industrialists for millions of Reichsmark to establish what he called the Adolf-Hitler-Spende der deutschen Wirtschaft—a slush fund he used to pay off Nazis whose violence got them into legal trouble. In 2026, Donald Trump is quietly doing the same thing.

Christ, you're the governor of the entire state. Shut the building down. It's not sovereign territory like a foreign embassy. Pull the certificate of occupancy. Cut the power. Back it up with state police. Stop coddling fascists and groveling every time they order you around. Act like an American.

The regulatory state is more important to the smooth operation of society to which we’ve become accustomed than anyone in this administration realizes, and in a lot of ways, we’ve already run off the cliff and are just starting to look down

Haven’t been online at all all day and it’s been blissful. A news-, social media-, and drama-free day - a Shabbat on a Wednesday. Delightful. Peaceful. And here is a pic of my aged dog at the local sushi place.

another day, another story about the administration's war on knowledge itself, all in service of allow its corporate patrons free rein to rob us blind and poison our world www.nytimes.com/2026/06/01/c...

Hormuz open next week is the new infrastructure week

About 400,000 people have been detained by immigration agents since Trump returned to office. But it’s nearly impossible to know how many family separations the sweeps have caused since the administration does not track this information.

congrats to jared polis once again

I think we are going to find out exactly what happens when the oil inventories run dry and I don’t think anyone is going to like it very much

Since Trump’s second term began, ICE has entered into contracts worth a total of more than $25 million for Glocks and related supplies, like holsters and red dot optic sights, according to usaspending.gov. www.thecarceralreport.com/p/ice-is-buy...

Plug in Solar Let's gooooooooooooooo! www.thecooldown.com/green-busine...

It’s no big surprise that Trump’s DOJ is deleting all of the January 6th press releases from its website. Here’s the thing: I downloaded all of them in Feb. 2025 (that’s right, more than a year ago) suspecting that they’d do just that. And we’re working to post them all online, as are others.

I can’t get past the fact that you all are mad at a woman for telling other people that a man behaves in a predatory way. Gee, where have I ever seen that happen before - oh yeah, everywhere, all the time, my whole fucking life.

I didn’t know there were FIVE ICE detention hunger strikes going on all over the country.

yes I am still walking yes this is a jump scare every ding dang time

It's crazy how we have both the World Cup and America 250 this year, and almost no one cares about them because this regime has wholly sucked the joy out of even momentous national events.

brief hope that "Badasses" Sherill and Spanberger wouldn't be dogshit and oh well

The most strategic fumble I’ve witnessed among dem leaders is letting their cops beat up their constituents. And it’s been going on for years and weakening us all. It leaves people with few options but to lose faith in the entire system. And faith is all you got because there isn’t very much proof

Just going to join with the many others saying: this is simple courage & humanity & whatever else you think about the race, Steyer deserves enormous credit for it.

I can’t get over the lid-up loo in the background on the gross @grahamformaine.bsky.social hook-up app selfie. 🤮🤮🤮

Please don't forget that there is a very solid second candidate running on the Democratic ticket, and to the best of my knowledge he doesn't even have a Nazi tattoo. he's a career USAID guy from an ACTUAL working class family

Fuck Platner, Maine. Rank @davidcostello.bsky.social first

If you are pissed as hell about OMB politicizing scientific and research funding to align with the MAGA agenda, please read this guide on how to participate in the public comment process

I should not have to know this much about any man from Maine

dude's a regular red flag factory

Part of packing for a cross-country move is finding my first child’s red ruby slipper sticker drawings

If I see one more person say that if people aren't breaking the law, they won't be arrested at protests, I think I may actually dissolve into a puddle of goo.

Ce n'est pas un Stalin.

tl,dr; Scientists no longer allowed to use federal funding to publish, attend meetings, or talk to the public. They cannot collaborate internationally. Grants can be cancelled for any reason, at any time, political appointees have a final say over what gets funded, and who gets funded.

What's really astonishing is not the far right authoritarian party doing this, but the near-total lack of <loud public collective action> by university chancellors & presidents to oppose this existential crisis. Almost impossible to overstate how total a failure of leadership this is.

NEW: A group of activists have built an awesome new tool to help immigration attorneys and the general public know when an ICE flight is headed to their area. gillianbrockell.com/habeas-fligh...

Americas golden age they said

Rocket blows up days after he says teachers don’t need his taxes to go up. Karma, bitch

Meiselas: Katie Miller has been posting about you. I want to give you the opportunity right now to respond. What do you want to say to her? Paulina Mangubat, Content and Creative Director for @TheDemocrats: I want Katie Miller to know that her husband is an ugly fuck.

Excellent piece on Russian regime tactics & the expressions describing these in a dictatorship. Manual control, info dumpster, election activities, give me the man and I find the crime, inner colonization - all becoming so familiar here in this quasi-dictatorship podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/o...

The "We Are Just Going to Dick Around Indefinitely" theory of the Iran war remains undefeated.

if you're in the metro DC area i hope you heard that shout of ICE OUT NOW from nats park, it may be the loudest i've heard it here ever.

Any infectious disease peeps here? I think I might have contracted Mycobacterium marinum through an urchin splinter in Hawaii. How easy is it to find a lab for a culture or PCR? (DC area). Doctor is pretty clueless. Any suggestion for good doc familiar with M marinum symptoms in the area?

This truly makes me sick

if us lawyers want to maintain any semblance of credibility in a post-MAGA world, we must disbar all of these stooges who are asserting patently unlawful lawsuits & prosecutions

Foreign policy experts say that the United States is suffering a humiliating defeat in Iran. A guy who shits himself in public and thinks windmills cause cancer says the war is a glorious victory. For busy Americans, it can be hard to know who to trust.

i just want talarico to say “if you care more about my taco order than $7 gas you are a giant fucking idiot”

When you’re THIS CLOSE to getting it.
