This is extremely cool!

Morocco absolutely deserved that. Ball don’t lie. Dutch tried to penalty their way to the win.

Unbelievable 🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦

A half Senegalese man born in France playing for Morocco through his mother’s side scoring on a half-Dutch, half-Surinamese (and part Chinese) captain of the Netherlands is peak diaspora World Cup in action

#ResistanceRoots Larry Kramer was born on this day in 1935 in Bridgeport, Conn. He was a playwright, author and public health advocate who reshaped national policy during the early years of the HIV/AIDS epidemic. He channeled rage into activism and landmark theater to force action on the crisis. /1

“I will be one of the Jewish members of Congress most willing to stand up for Palestinian human rights. And I will stand firmly against bigotry aimed at Jews. Those are not two different jobs. They are the same job,” Brad Lander said.

Some things Labour and Dems need to understand: 1) National elections are base elections 2) "swing voters" are not moderates, they are usually cross-pressured, low-info, or inconsistent 3) voters are persudable 4) voters contain conflicting narratives, and tacking right activates their narratives.

The objection from leadership will be that this is too abstract, too institutional, too risky. It misreads both the moment and the country. Americans have grasped the urgency of structural reform before. The window for Reconstruction opens only when the abuses are fresh, and it closes fast. /x

If we had put Trump in prison for Jan. 6 like we should have none of this shit would be happening.

“A more moral AI is not enough if that morality is determined by a few.” There are great quotes in this thread if you don't want to read the whole letter. #PopeLeo #AI

This photo of Andy Kim in the moments before ICE gassed everyone at Delaney Hall is going into the history books. We need more of this from our electeds.

Melania 🤷‍♂️

FINALLY YES

Remember that amazing video in 2015 of a high school teacher dancing with his students through the halls to Uptown Funk? The teacher’s name was Scot Pankey and he appears to have an account here 🤩 @spankey.bsky.social

This is such a moving piece. If your interested in #Ebola — the damage it causes, the trauma families and communities and responders face during and after an outbreak — please read it. www.statnews.com/2026/05/20/e...

democrats appear to be broadly underestimating the base's anger right now. that's not really a problem for the midterms, purely in terms of electoral strategy (see @gelliottmorris.com's analysis), but i have a feeling it will be disruptive down the road in unforeseen ways

Trans people: we're about to be genocided by the US government GOP: Awesome, can't wait Centrists: Thoughts and prayers Liberals: It's your fault because you are a wedge issue and support Palestine Leftists: It's not a real genocide like Palestine is

So I tried Instagram’s AI photo enhancement tool - and the Caucasity! Hey Meta - don’t fix my face. Fix your structural racism

Farmers vote against workers' interest bc most of us aren't working class. Farmers are business owners. With inherited wealth & property. It's not that hard to figure out! It's not folksy, & it's not "economic anxiety." Most *small family farmers* in the US are millionaires w 6-figure incomes.

1/ Ohio’s November election is a battlefield of "structural entrenchment." These upcoming amendments are being positioned as helpful for families, but forensic analysis reveals a "systems realignment" designed to favor the wealthy and centralize power. 🧵 #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

I’d say this is a ploy by Trump to get his supporters to snap these up (and anti Trump folks to avoid them) and then use them to vote under whatever voter ID bullshit he’s planning

👏Columbus -- Vote YES on Issue 5! The @cbussafety.bsky.social worked with @cbuscitycouncil.bsky.social to reach a historic compromise and bring the Community Crisis Response Amendment before voters in the May primary.

"Billionaire death cult" is truly on target. It's a death cult supported by religious fundamentalisms that tell you its "god's will" that the climate is spinning out of control, supported by an endless supply of soulless ghouls in Congress, and corporations that have no bottom.

"AI data center" moratoriums are not the way. They risk pushing burdens to places with less regulation, and driving up the price of compute, which will worsen inequality. jacobin.com/2026/04/ai-d...

We’ve become way too inured to the constant violence because of all of the people in power who revel in it. What a joyless, artless, sexless, rudderless country we became so fast.

6/ Vince Hutchings tells us that racial animus is not the reason for racial bias, interest in maintaining a racial hierarchy is. The forces fighting to save the union and the forces fighting for racial justice are not the same—they weren’t during reconstruction—if they were, we wouldn’t be here now.

Fuck these assholes

“We just want to undo democracy with arguments about how wealth should be able to purchase any service to crush anyone not of the super rich with their full participation in the system of destroying themselves” version 9,811

This is the top thing I’m looking for - mostly because I’m not hearing about it from anyone.

Palantir put out a 22-point summary of their CEO's book The Technological Republic. It's pitched as a defence of the West, but if you read it through the VDA framework, verification, deliberation, accountability, what it's actually doing looks rather different. twitter-thread.com/t/2045574398...

Here it is live. What a time.

And woe to those who manipulate the truth and freedom, and the very ideals of our civil and democratic natures, for their own military, economic, and political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth. Pope Bob nails it 💪

no we don't need to revisit just war theory just because some fake hillbilly from central ohio has been elevated way the fuck beyond his station

Holy shit, they’re listening.

So when the Antichrist is revealed, are Christians supposed to do anything? Asking for a friend

the Democrat who wins will be the one vibrating with desire to drive the MAGAs before them into the snow and cold, unheeding of their piggy little squeals for mercy

Magyar's no mercy approach needs to be used in the US Trump will pardon everyone for everything he can-including himself But pardons don't cover state crimes. And despite the SCOTUS immunity decision, there are still ways to prosecute him We cannot repeat the failures of the Biden administration

Fuck this corruption 🤬

we will have to see how well he follows through but so far the rhetoric from Magyar is a pitch perfect model for what we need from the next Dem administration no mercy, no reconciliation

On a more serious note, this does show the necessity of a big-tent single-issue pro-democracy coalition. Autocrats lose when anti-authoritarianism is the opposition-uniting priority, and win when they can play divide and conquer on lesser issues.

Let’s goooooo Tisza - and democracy!! 🇭🇺❤️🇭🇺❤️🇭🇺 www.reuters.com/world/hungar...

The moment

No no no you see it’s only illegal because he’s not profiting from it

Oh, then, so this was all for show. What joke - like you open talks with a regime you’ve been at war with for 50 years and then you’re like oh whoops won’t happen and go home

But the core truth remains. You cannot have what works without the attending toxins. They are inextricable. As ever, my primary contention is that the technology is destructive to the fabric of human society, and on those grounds should we make our stand.

Always exciting to see the Avignon Papacy in the news

Shortly after I read about the toll idea last night, I said to myself - hold on, something stinks here. My theory was that Trump went to the IRGC and said, You’re thinking about this all wrong. We can make money. Shut up and do this. And here it is. Holding the world hostage.

Trump is a pussy ass bitch. “A whole civilization” - shut up, you bloated fuck.
