Every summer I repost this article on how to spot drowning. Please read it and pass on. In the last few years I’ve had SIX messages from people who saved a kid’s life after clicking on the link from my feed. slate.com/technology/2...

Not pictured: throwing tantrums over movie castings, teaching his sex crime robot to make images of undressed minors, and trying hard to make human person comedy jokes

A new report determined that Louisiana governor Jeff Landry’s proposed increase in prison spending would come at the expense of $165 million in education funding, including $40 million for state colleges and universities and $125 million for K-12 education. With @veritenews.org

The NYT sees itself not as a defender of journalistic principles or a champion of democratic values, but rather a theater critic for political actors. There are no real-world consequences here, no pain or suffering for the common people who aren't in their social circles. It's just a parlor game

The smallest, most soulless creature to ever be over-stuffed into a human form has thoughts about quality television. With a world and nation in disarray and requiring remedy, the President of the United States feels the need to opine on this passionately. Our republic is so debased.

‘We must not be frightened nor cajoled into accepting evil as deliverance from evil. We must go on struggling to be human, though monsters of abstraction police and threaten us.’ 🫢

Watch Colbert’s finale tonight, and then never watch CBS again. 💯

By allowing our Military to be at the whims of this traitorous felon and helmed by a disgraced TV personality, we have failed our veterans; squandering their service and wasting their sacrifice... johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/on-memoria...

this show is hysterical. do yourself a favor and give it a watch. it hits every note re public access tv and as an added bonus there's the latest update on local big foot sightings...

The president posts an image of Iran as a US state

Absolutely demented

We’ve come a long way, baby

An extraordinary rebuke of Todd Blanche and his Justice Department. Federal judge dismisses the indictment of Abrego Garcia (an exceedingly rare outcome in a criminal case). Finding of vindictive prosecution and "an abuse of prosecuting power." The opinion name checks Blanche nearly 30 times.

EVERYTHING IS SO STUPID, part infinity

A year ago, I appeared on The Late Show alongside @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social. The idea of a cross-endorsement was still a hard concept for many to fathom. But the evening before Election Day, we went on to share how we united for the good of the city we love. (1/3)

CBS won’t be paying billionaire Byron Allen. Allen will ignominiously be paying CBS for Colbert’s time slot; CBS will “lease” Colbert’s time slot to Allen, and Allen will pocket whatever advertising revenue the show brings in. robertreich.substack.com/p/the-comedy...

A reminder for every graduate walking into the next chapter: "Those who try to hold you back, believe me, will not do so because you are unqualified. It's because they need a head start."

In Trump's second term, Bezos has received... -Huge new tax cuts for himself and Amazon -$260M+ in new Blue Origin federal contracts -A slap-on-the wrist FTC settlement for Amazon -A gutted NLRB led by a union-busting corporate lawyer No wonder he's singing Trump's praises.

not sure what's worse, trump bragging about taking food from hungry Americans or the crowd behind him happily cheering the fact that he did it. how gross.

Wut

Trump's shady IRS immunity deal is outright robbery from the American people. Billions of dollars that Trump and his family have pocketed — from foreign governments, billionaires, and corporate supplicants — are now untraceable, unaccounted for, and likely hidden for good. Corruption on steroids.

Don't fool yourself into thinking people who vote for Republicans are dupes or victims. Each one of them shot Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Each one of them starved children in Africa. Each one of them is helping crooks defraud us. Each one of them is stealing the future of the people you love.

These people are incapable of anything but destruction

none of the occupations are over

Great piece from @michaelharriot.bsky.social www.contrabandcamp.com/p/the-second...

omg🤦‍♀️ Our political discourse is now happening on the level of nine year old boys. Trump has damaged so many things that this doesn't even rate, but it's still pathetic and embarrassing.

Medicare for All - "That's socialism!" Social Security - "That's socialism!" Debt free education - "That's socialism!" Universal childcare - "That's socialism!" $30 billion+ on a war in the Middle East that no one wants, while millions of people at home struggle. "That's just how it is."

really worth remembering that you can fight these people in court and win don't let them intimidate you into preemptive compliance.

Jeff 🐷 Bezos.

Quite a first sentence in the new Congressional inquiry to Treasury Secretary about Trump's $1.7 billion slush fund "The American people & the world just witnessed one of the most brazen acts of public corruption & self-dealing in American history" democrats-waysandmeans.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

Trump repeatedly disparaged Fox News correspondent Jacqui Heinrich's husband, GOP Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick, while Heinrich tried to ask him questions: "Her husband votes against me all the time. Can you imagine? He likes voting against Trump. You know what happens with that? It doesn't work out well."

The Trump Admin should focus on lowering costs, not forcing neighborhood community banks and credit unions to enforce immigration laws. I saw this coming and introduced legislation to stop this overreach. Americans deserve access to financial services without fear, surveillance, or intimidation.

When the history of this sordid second Gilded Age is written, the list of neo robber barons will be long. But one greedy, public-be-damned oligarch stands out even above Musk, Trump, and the rest. His name: Jeff Bezos. robertreich.substack.com/p/the-worst-...

! Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.) just flipped his vote and helped Dems advance a bill to end Trump's war in Iran -- 3 days after Trump helped defeat Cassidy in his Republican primary. This was the EIGHTH time Dems have tried to force action on this. It finally worked. www.huffpost.com/entry/live-u...

BREAKING: A handful of Senate Republicans are finally starting to join Democrats to pull the emergency brake and end Trump’s war with Iran. Now is the moment to keep pushing. Call your members of Congress.

Ended more Iran Wars than any president

Lies, and the lying liars who tell them! 🤥

He promised to release his tax returns as soon as there were no more audits pending, and now there are no more audits pending.

Cost of extending ACA subsidies: $30B/year Cost of Trump's Iran War: $29B and counting It's not a question of what we can afford. It's a question of priorities.

AARRGGHHHHHH! 🤯

JD Vance encourages protesters in the UK who believe in the great replacement conspiracy theory to "keep on going"

Meta just paid its lowest ever effective tax rate, avoiding $13.7B in 2025 federal income taxes thanks to tax breaks and loopholes. But starting this week, Meta will begin laying off 10% of its workforce. More than 8,000 people will lose jobs as it ramps up AI investment. Trickle down hoax.

Outrageous!

Comparisons to Hitler are no longer exaggerations. What's left of my heart after 6 Trumpen years has been broken. 💔

COONS: Will you commit to making reports fully public so Americans know who is getting taxpayer dollars out of this settlement fund? BLANCHE: There are privacy laws that may prevent some of the information from being fully public
