seeing how much bigger Catturd's footprint is than Fox News here says it all

Pretty sure that’s the East Bay.

A metaphor in plain sight.

Governments must not adopt emerging and powerful AI technologies without also adopting strong and clear safeguards to protect Constitutional rights, EFF’s @mguariglia.bsky.social testified today to a House Homeland Security subcommittee.

Only because you're in charge.

An astonishing level of surveillance — 600 million plate reads in a year. oaklandside.org/2026/06/05/f...

Reframe the question and it becomes very clear. If you hire a manager to run your estate can that manager burn down the buildings on your estate or chop it and sell it off in parcels? Pretty obviously not. The president doesn't own the country. He's hired to administer it for four years.

Periodic reminder that Teapot Dome, the worst scandal in American history prior to Watergate, involved $9 million changing hands. That’s adjusted for inflation. This story by itself is 55500% bigger than Teapot Dome. That’s not a typo.

Wanna save the CBS brand? ✔️1. Shitcan Bari Weiss and Nick Bilton. ✔️2. Re-hire Scott Pelley, Cecilia Vega, Tanya Simon, and Sharyn Alfonsi with apologies and raises. ✔️3. Leave them alone to do the excellent journalism they've always done. Otherwise the CBS brand remains shit.

Meta is unhappy b/c they handed us a boiler plate statement that just repeats things we already wrote at the top of the piece (minus calling our work "sensational"). We sent Meta a full explanation of what was in the piece and provided 10 detailed questions. They refused to answer any of them.

I wrote a thing. "Pulte isn't a qualified intelligence administrator. He does, however, seem to be unquestioningly loyal to President Trump and willing to use his position to attack and smear the President’s political foes."

Here’s the voter fraud MAGA has been complaining about.

FINALLY, something MAGA can use all that ivermectin for.

I spent more time on this piece than almost anything else I've written in the last year. Building a better, more decentralized internet is an inherent necessity if you want a functioning democracy. I hope people find it a useful encapsulation of where we're at. www.liberalism.org/p/enshittifi...

"Pelley was not uncivil. He didn’t threaten anyone. He didn’t curse or scream. He was professionally disagreeable. Which is basically the job description for journalists. It’s the job description that Weiss herself wrote. She just didn’t mean it."

Don’t weep for Scott Pelley, Cecilia Vega, and others axed from “60 Minutes;” they’re top-shelf pros likely to be snapped up by other media outlets. Weep for the loss of one of our last well-respected and profitable news institutions as America slides further into authoritarian media control.

Methinks the mad orange emperor gives no fucks whatsoever.

The court's conservative majority essentially said the gerrymandering isn't racist, it's just partisan. But that rationale doesn't contemplate that the party is inherently racist.

Y'all Qaeda strikes again.

He never made an honest buck in his life - why would he start now?

America's foreign enemies are laughing their asses off.

The official party of brutal racist murderers.

I won't trust this until there's detail on paper about dropping it permanently. Don't forget the settlement also let Trump and his entire family off the hook for any tax crimes they've committed. That needs to go too.

With the slush fund now basically dead, let's all say it together: "Get stuffed, you fascist shitbag."

Ending the war he started is sooooooo boring. No wonder he keeps dozing off.

Scott Pelley from the top rope, FTW.

Oh is that how it works? One candidate is such a corrupt criminal that his own party tried to purge him, a crook who pardoned a pedophile and is loathed wide and far. But he plays the man card and now it's "front and center" in the race? "Sorry, folks, the crook said we have to talk gender!"

It’s so funny that conservatives pretend to be the manliest men who hate Hollywood, but then vote for the dumbest bitches in the history of reality TV.

NEW: Trump's gross Aliens.gov site claims to map where immigrants have been taken into custody, but it includes more 83 spots where Americans alone were arrested. Over 700 locations include citizen arrests. The counter is fake. The music was ripped. And Puerto Rico is listed as a foreign country.

This is what Trump's done to the people's house: A third of it is rubble. Another third is a cage match. What a metaphor.

Welp, it worked for Adolf Eichmann until it didn't.

The building must be de-vandalized immediately.

Abolish ICE. No amnesty for Nazi thugs.

Homie was just field testing the GOP's 2026 slogan

Hear that? . . . . . . . It’s the resounding silence from all the MAGAs who bitched about Hunter Biden’s laptop.

The American Dream is to starve for freedom

No one could have possibly seen this coming except for the many people documented in this story who saw this coming.

Whatta douche.

Remember when Obama attacked the dignity of the presidency by wearing a tan suit?

Not enough people are talking about this. A Florida airport was renamed after Donald Trump. He walked away with the trademark, the licensing rights, and a deal that lets him profit off every piece of merchandise sold there. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Fuck Mitch McConnell. Speaking accurately about this doesn’t excuse him for subjecting America to this dumpster fire in the first place.

TRUMP: "We have total control of the Strait of Hormuz" TRUMP MOMENTS LATER: "We want the Strait of Hormuz open"

Former congressman Barney Frank has passed away, aged 86. Eleven years ago, he came to @cwclub.bsky.social in San Francisco to talk about his career. Watch our 2015 program with Frank in conversation with @joshrichman.bsky.social: youtu.be/FMcL_S8hopE?...

I had the pleasure of moderating a discussion with Barney Frank at the @cwclub.bsky.social in San Francisco in 2015. What a witty, fascinating man.

Any DOJ settlement that gives the President a dollar -- or a direct material benefit -- is a plain-as-day violation of the Presidential Emoluments Clause: "The President shall not receive ... any other Emolument from the United States, or any of [the states]." Art II, S.1, cl. 7.

Of course.

Sure sounds like Trump is trying to make the White House into a fortress for when he refuses to leave office.

Force them to go on the record.
