Tina Peters, following a jury trial, was convicted of 4 felonies and 3 misdemeanors According to VP, she’s a prime candidate for the Trump Slush Fund

The vice president of the United States is just standing up here saying people should feel sorry for domestic terrorists who were given free and fair trials and were then convicted in a court of law. Absolutely despicable.

The absolute fucking insult to injury here is that he's using the language of reparations re: these traitors. THAT'S the headline. "Just compensation for people who were mistreated by their government" oh you mean like a Constitution protecting slavers? FHA's redlining? Mass incarceration?

This exemplifies how Hegseth has used the firing, and intimidation, of general officers to induce them not to satisfy their duties of candor to the Congress.

If Donald Trump tries to confirm a Supreme Court justice in his final two years, Senate Democrats must follow The McConnell Rule™… WHO AGREES?! 🤚

People say Bari Weiss is failing, but just because she’s not a journalist, isn’t qualified to run a news organization, and has little to no journalistic integrity—that doesn’t mean she’s not succeeding at what she set out to do.

If his job was to represent the rest of South Carolina, he would be Senator Clyburn.

My problem with democrats refusing to say genocide and instead saying “I think what has been done to the Palestinian people has gone too far” is that it implies there’s a medium level of killing Palestinians that is reasonable.

This is what “energy dominance” looks like in practice public land, transferred out of federal protection, handed to a state that has been explicit about its development priorities, with legal challenges as the only remaining check on what happens next.

The Ambler Road, notably, would be closed to the public. Controlled access for approved commercial uses only. You’d be handing over public land to build a road you’re not allowed to drive on.

The corridor encompasses the Trans-Alaska Pipeline, the Dalton Highway, and proposed routes for two major industrial projects the Ambler Road, a 211-mile access road to a remote mining district, and the Alaska LNG pipeline.

buffer zone along the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System. It’s not just a pipeline buffer. The corridor connects three national wildlife refuges Kanuti, Yukon Flats, and the Arctic and borders Gates of the Arctic National Park. It is one of the most critical wildlife migration corridors in North America.

The Trump administration just handed 1.4 million acres of your public lands to the state of Alaska and they didn’t even try to hide why. The Dalton Utility Corridor has been managed by the Bureau of Land Management since the 1970s, originally established as a protected

It truly amazes me how the NYT just does not think smaller publications are worthy of being cited in its pages.

Roberts led the charge against precedent and norms. Shameful. Money talks. Citizens United. Harlan Crow. Jane Roberts business records.Thomas’ open theft. Kavanaugh debts. Gorsuch land sales.

When we safeguard history, we have a better shot at safeguarding the future. Great work being done by the HBCU Radio Preservation Project.

Water at the Kalamazoo Jail in Michigan has elevated levels of copper and lead, but it’s still used for cooking. People at the jail shower with it - several have reported rashes & bleeding. Residents of Flint a few years ago had similar symptoms.

When fascists call for unity, it means "you quit fighting back." Always. Every time.

new release from Trinity University Press! The New Sentience: Reimagining Animal Poetry edited by Ashley Capps and Allison Titus, foreword by @alexispauline.bsky.social I have a poem about cows in this beautiful anthology 💜 "Cows in the Evening"

Happy National Library Week. In less than 10 years, U.S. spending on immigration policing & detention increased by 171% while funding for libraries didn't even keep up with inflation. Some priorities. 🤔

Did you know that as head of state, threatening war crimes IS a war crime?

Statement from Israel’s Proxy Secretary of War:

It’s as if the Iran war was fought to sustain the Russian economy. Lifting sanctions for Russians does nothing for Americans. It just makes it easier for Russia to continue its war in Ukraine.

mRNA technology is one of the most revolutionary developments in the history of medicine, [especially in] vaccines.... A near-magical vaccine technology is being thrown out by a dishonest charlatan, and we all may suffer for it soon. — Ryan Cooper prospect.org/health/2025-...

The stupid just stupided.

Someone asked me why Democrats are now coming out vaguely against starvation. People who celebrated and funded this inevitable result every step of the way are issuing statements now in a futile attempt to distort how history judges their unforgivable crimes against humanity.

Given how often we are getting reports of ChatGPT driven psychosis in people because the thing is designed to be sycophantic and agree with everything you say, is it safe to assume yet that all billionaires are totally unhinged because that’s what their daily life experience is?

There’s that quote out there about how being a billionaire is the equivalent of being kicked in the head by a donkey every day because having that much money is so terrible for your brain.

NEW: The Miccosukee Tribe is seeking to join a lawsuit against the state and federal governments over the hastily built migrant detention facility in the Everglades — a place the Miccosukee call home.

The simultaneity of his laughableness and dangerousness can still be astonishing.

@lataco.bsky.social is doing heroic work in this crisis. Started with tacos, moved on to human rights and democracy, by providing some of the best coverage of what's happening and what to do about it. lataco.com/what-to-do-i...

47 prefers lies. And sycophancy.

Yes, Donald, we're still talking about Jeffrey Epstein. Americans want answers.

It's the derelict Kristi Noem and her derelict, deadbeat boss, 47, who seem YET AGAIN to be the fakers.

While Kristi Noem’s out here blaming everyone but herself, here’s her own April press release bragging about clawing back $882M in disaster resilience grants. The kind that could’ve helped in Texas. They’d rather wage culture wars than actually protect human lives.

Reuters: WISCONSIN SUPREME COURT SAYS 19TH CENTURY LAW BANNING NEARLY ALL ABORTIONS CANNOT BE ENFORCED

I am not super optimistic that the Dem gerontocracy will learn the right lessons from Mamdani’s win but here’s my analysis anyway: newrepublic.com/article/1972...

Medicaid cuts will lead to hospital closures across the country, especially in rural and underserved areas. By showing up at our local hospitals and speaking out, we can hold our elected officials accountable for putting billionaires ahead of working families, seniors, and people with disabilities.

Senate Judiciary Committee Democrats, when 47 submits his next batch of nominees for the federal bench, please demand REAL answers from them about January 6, birthright citizenship, and more. If you let their BS fly, they'll further aid the destruction of the rule of law. Do better.

Today might be a good day to remember that Sen. Mike Lee tried to subvert the Constitution but Utah reelected him anyway. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Just so I’m clear… Terry Moran got fired, but Mike Lee is still a sitting US senator?

My issue with the parade wasn't the Army. The problem was that Grump hijacked what should have been a special day for them to feed his ego. They deserved to have a huge turnout for their service, not to be relegated to toy soldiers for a wannabe dictator. (Also, Fetterman is an asshole)

Completely agree. No one was protesting the army or suggesting they didn't deserve recognition and as looney as Fetterman is lately, he was being disingenuous suggesting it was a protest against the army.
