So you CAN get reparations you just have to be a reactionary white person who tries to overthrow the government because black votes shouldn’t count

We play Eastern Conference Final hockey this week

Congress works 140 days a year and earns $174K annually, plus full benefits. How can anyone survive on that without a few stock trades and a little insider trading? They get 225 days off a year and think it’s okay to hold the federal minimum wage at $7.25 an hour for 17 years.

I am very upset to hear people on tv are using the “r” slur again. Disabled people have worked very hard to make the world a better place and bringing the “r” slur back does not feel like progress.

15 Glasses of orange juice and sell them for $5 each. Then buy 75 glasses of orange juice and sell them for $5 each...

First, they taxed the private jets And I did not speak out. fortune.com/2026/05/16/n...

Oh my fricking god! Watch them shoot protesters in LA. This is a routine practice by the LAPD. Of course they are just an arm of the Feds and ICE. All the bootlickers stick together. #pinks

Mike Johnson thinks $174,000 isn’t enough to survive without insider trading. But $15/hour is too much to ask for everyone else. Every single day, these goons prove how disconnected they are from everyday Americans.

“Shifting light from morning to evening [via Daylight Saving Time] makes it harder to fall asleep and can lead to chronic sleep deprivation… Standard time is ‘natural time’ and aligns best with our circadian rhythms…”

Make sure to take care of yourselves or no one will. I've had mine checked regularly.

I find myself spending too much time laying in bed lately, not because I'm bed rotting, but because my elderly cat wants to snuggle against me under the blankets and I think "...how much longer before this will be gone?"

Black folks (and Black women in particular) getting activated as these primaries wind down and folks start tuning in for the midterms. Now watch a lot of these online accounts kickoff their best vitriol and hatred for Democratic candidates as those GOP/foreign checks start flowing.

I'm her.

Thinking about how Oregon Dems are trying to massively slash transit this year

Just used my coworkers' ballots to vote an additional 5 times for Sonja Fischer to unseat Ben West in Clackamas County. You work with fear I work with power. #BlueWave

I wish people would stop thinking you can only be gullible in your old age. You can be gullible at any age. A scam isn't always only for monetary gain… Plenty of scams and tricks can be played on your mental, emotional, and physical self.

Rep. Ted Lieu stated that the U.S. acting attorney general is no longer America's lawyer but Donald Trump's, accusing Todd Blanche of enforcing the rule of Trump rather than the rule of law.

if i was superman i'd use my x-ray vision to give bad guys really gnarly cancers

Trump is proving this to be true every day.

Leave it to white men to argue about which actress should play an imaginary woman who hatched from an egg, when her father turned into a swan to impregnate her mother.

Thou shalt not become ENRAGED that a mythological character in a movie will be played by a Black woman whilst loudly supporting the nullifying of all Black votes in the South and then pretend you’re not racist when I call you a fucking klansmen.

This was more important than the American people.

"As they rushed into his apartment...he felt the jaws of a large dog biting into his ankle, knocking him to the floor. He screamed as the dog tore the flesh from his thighs, hip and wrist. Down the hall, agents took a mother and her 16-yr-old son at gunpoint..." www.propublica.org/article/chic...

The stories & photos from today’s voting rights marches in Alabama deserve to be seen by people who weren’t able to stand there in person. If this piece moves you, please share it widely & help make sure these voices aren’t lost in the noise of a crowded news cycle. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Met a woman last night at the Craigie show who taught with Fiancee ages ago. She claimed to be "apolitical" & didn't like that Craigie "talks politics sometimes. I just want to hear him sing!" Took everything in me not to say, "Must be nice to live a life so privileged that you can be apolitical."

Today in Selma and Montgomery, Alabama, crowds gathered for the National Day of Action. Activists, lawmakers, and everyday people pushed back against attacks on voting rights and Black political representation happening across the South. Here are scenes taken by Nikolai Pizarro on Instagram.

Does he, or does he not look like a guy that would molest a masseuse at a Beverly Hills hotel?

A lot of AFTERMATH has sort of found its way into a lot of properties — Cobb Vanth and Mister Bones and whatnot, which is gratifying. I mean, I wouldn’t hate a thank you in the credits somewhere, but life sucks, I guess

Didn't expect to get emotional watching a neighbor mow his lawn, but just a few months ago I watched with my heart in my throat as ICE surround his house. They only backed off because our neighborhood showed up in full force. Now there he is, out in the sun, completely in the open, unafraid 🥹

The cherry season is happening in firebaugh CA. A group of workers wait—ladders in hand—to begin working .The issue is they are given a time to arrive and then often have to wait a long time to actually start working. They tell us don't get paid for that time. #WeFeedYou

Alex Haley grew up in Tennessee. He traced his family tree back to his original enslaved, African ancestor, then wrote 'Roots'. He received a Pulitzer Prize for it. Knoxville just banned it 'cause it might make white kids sad.

Well now that the man babies are losing their minds about it I guess I have to go see it. Like when I was forced to have to drink Bud Light.

The Cohen brothers are ruining Homer's legacy. Odysseus never records a hit song. This is an assault on western culture. I am very smart.

Rep. @brotherjones.bsky.social in Montgomery: “We’re here united to take on this new confederacy, 60 years after the Selma March… because we know their intent is to dismantle everything gained during the civil rights movement.”

"CBS is assenting to its own diminishment." "The biggest loss is to core America values, including the right to speak freely, even in brutally mocking terms, about those in power..." www.nytimes.com/2026/05/16/o...

Wonder if Andy has a family member who's willing to be his DD?

Where we are in a nutshell.

The news seems constantly preoccupied in figuring out if some people in a country of 300 million people have bad opinions

This is not okay! Colorado Gov. Jared Polis announced today that he’s commuting the sentence of Tina Peters a former county clerk and 2020 election denier who received nine years for tampering with election equipment

I kind of wish it wasn’t ruining the world because half of the country basing all of their political opinions on movies and Buzz Lightyear being woke instead of healthcare or clean water is objectively funny

THE INTERSECTIONALITY of it all… there’s a gay man trying to preserve “Southern heritage” meanwhile some other white man is outside that gay white man’s house screaming God hates f**s.🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️

Imagine having to get towed out by a minivan...🤣🤣

CDC has confirmed the first cat to human bird flu case in the US. A Los Angeles vet, asymptomatic. The agency advises pet owners not to feed raw animal products to cats. Meanwhile RFK Jr. is telling humans to drink raw milk and has defunded US H5N1 vaccine development. The UK is running our trials

It’s National Bike to Work Day! Whether it’s out in Chicago or in the halls of Congress, I always enjoy a chance to take my wheels out.

I’m going to keep protecting bike lanes and bike infrastructure that keeps our cyclists, drivers, and pedestrians safe🚲

This place gets it.

I remember my ex picking me up for lunch and taking me to KFC. I asked if he wanted anything and he said no. A few minutes later, he asked for a piece of my biscuit and I said no. He pulled a gun on me and told me to get out the car. I had to call someone to pick me up and take me back to work. 😩

"Heat pumps just shift gas burning to the power station." Wrong. Even if 100% of electricity came from gas, a heat pump at SCOP 3.8 uses 51% less gas than a boiler. At a terrible SCOP 2.5, still 25% less. David MacKay made this point in 2008. The maths hasn't changed.
