"Nearly 60% of those detained have no criminal convictions... 'When it was built in the middle of the Everglades last summer, officials said they needed to put it out there because they were going to house the worst of the worst... Clearly that’s not the case'..." www.nbcmiami.com/news/local/f...

This is utterly batshit crazy. FFS it's way past the time of some 25th amendment. He belongs in some mental institution babbling away every day. Absolutely he is projecting. His every accusation is a confession. Thank you for your attention to this matter, LOL!!

Epistemological systems for determining what is true and what is not are the backbone of modern society. We have annihilated them all in a decade, and replaced them with a digital dreamscape in which anything that is felt strongly enough automatically BECOMES true.

18 hrs. ago, Credit @huffpost.com "A LA man gave an impassioned speech calling out state Republicans for their racist gerrymander. “I believe the country as a whole is rebuking your party. Y’all are in a death spiral,” he said. “That’s why y’all have to redistrict. That’s why y’all have to cheat.”

Today is Nakba Day, when we commemorate the roughly 750,000 Palestinians who were forcibly displaced by Zionist militias during the 1948 Palestine War. Acknowledging the Nakba and making restitution is the precursor to building a better future for everyone living in the region.

Energy Secretary Chris Wright: "California had massively expensive oil and diesel before we decided to disarm Iraq's nuclear program -- Iran's nuclear program"

As someone pointed out to me offline, this is a really funny typo in Alito’s mifepristone dissent: www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

Today is Nakba Day. The ethnic cleansing of Palestine began 78 years ago today and it has never stopped.

Trump got called a declining nation to his face by a foreign autocrat he flew 20 hours to grovel before, and his response was to post a Biden blame thread. Staggering levels of humiliated delusion on full public display.

FYI you’re not being polite by waving someone through a stop sign when it’s your right of way. Being polite is moving your ass according to the rules and not confusing people.

Two police officers from Gratis, Ohio, an all-white town per the US census, showed up at a majority Latinx public school in Cincinnati—50 miles away—to search for kids for ICE, disguised as a “wellness check.”

One of the VERY FIRST things done after the Constitutional Convention in 1787 was to have the text of the new Constitution translated into Dutch and German, which were at the time the two largest non-English language spoken in the United States. Here's the National Archives making this point:

GILLIBRAND: How did we bomb 22 schools? COOPER: There's no indication we have G: So how do you explain publicly available information that 22 schools have been hit and multiple hospitals? C: There's no way we can corroborate that G: Have you investigated those claims? C: We have not

“We underestimated then—and are underestimating now—just how disillusioned people are. There was and is a pervasive sense that nothing works and the institutions holding us up have failed…We could not break the perception that we were the status quo.” www.thebulwark.com/p/heres-what...

I’m very surprised There seems to be a lot of Americans suddenly realizing that obscenely wealthy and powerful men, Are completely above the law This is not only true for the entire history of America But the entire history of civilization

BURGUM: When the sun goes down, solar produces zero electricity HUFFMAN: I want to enter into the record this amazing new technology that apparently the secretary is unaware of -- it's a battery

This is such an important observation by @jamellebouie.net about how the GOP thinks/operates, and it's highly informed by decades of the religious right aiming to "transform" communities to (their) Christianity by imposing it. Crucial read more broadly, as per usual www.nytimes.com/2026/05/13/o...

Netanyahu would be under a prison by now if he hadn't continously started wars. He's a warmongering murderer.

The US Department of State is just openly doing the racist, antisemitic Great Replacement conspiracy now, the very conspiracy theory that motivated the anti-Black Buffalo shooting of 2022 and the antisemitic Pittsburgh synagogue shooting of 2018.

"An ICE takedown caught on camera left a 19-year-old bleeding and requiring stitches to his head. Cellphone video showed the teen get tackled by agents. Once they figured out they had made a mistake, they dropped him off at a park, bloody and bruised..." www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/d...

Historian of abolition here, history tells us how we got here, to put it succinctly “John Brown was hanged for treason and Robert E. Lee was not.”

Democrats, and many non-MAGA folks, still don't realize that Republicans are playing for all the marbles. They're all in. If they can't get power, they will burn it all down. Trump is not leaving peacefully or legally. We have to prepare.

A University of Washington trans student was fatally stabbed in her campus housing building and the suspect is still at large. abc7news.com/post/seattle...

great post

This is the very definition of a chillul hashem. Everything Yeshayahu Leibowitz predicted that ongoing occupation would do to corrode the souls of the occupiers has come to pass. www.npr.org/2026/05/10/n...

As a haver of 0.0 human children, I'd say I'm optimally babied. Also, if a declining population is indeed a problem, there's a really, really easy solution that rhymes to schmimmigration.

This rules

The owner of The Atlanta Falcons NFL franchise, Arthur Blank, donated $1 Million to #TheTrevorProject as confirmed by former NFL player and longtime TTP supporter Carl Nassib. In June 2021, Nassib bravely became the first active NFL player to publicly come out as gay while playing for the Raiders.

Ghoulish stuff, and deeply counterproductive. The message this sends to immigrant communities is “Do not call the police. If you saw a crime? No you didn’t. If you were a victim of a crime? No you weren’t. If you see a cop? Run.”

NEW: ChatGPT advised the FSU shooter that a mass shooting would get more attention from media if it involved several children, according to a new lawsuit against OpenAI www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

I get this weird feeling that Trump thinks that uranium “enrichment” is like alchemy and that the “dust” is actually gold, which is why he wants it so badly.

I have seen "Jews do not face systemic oppression" as a talking point distressingly often lately, I think there's a big lack of understanding of how US antisemitism actually works. It reminds me of arguments that are made to dismiss anti-Asian racism in the US, a lot of model minority mythology.

On Mother's Day, a reminder that the oldest "Your mother" joke is from the Talmud. (Megillah 25b:9)

ARSENAL FANS WORLDWIDE, WE ARE SO CLOSE. TWO MORE GAMES. TWO MORE TO GO. 22 YEARS WE’VE WAITED FOR THIS. COME ON!!!!

“As a girl in Afghanistan, she was denied a formal education and taught herself to read…Today, she has completed 64 college credits while in high school, works nights and weekends to support herself and her siblings, and was admitted to 11 nursing programs. She cannot afford to attend a single one.”

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

A must-read thread 🧵

This is your occasional reminder that 77+ million of your family, neighbors, and coworkers voted for this.

It really seems like these people are trying to get us killed.

The feeling of watching powerful people normalize and protect Trump is felt by a million survivors when they watch their institutions and communities protect and reward their perpetrators. To the survivor’s detriment, but also the entire community’s. Even people who say they dislike the perpetrator.

Someone really needs to invent zipper-repellent tzitziyos

Trump threatened to nuke Iran during the same press event where he called a woman reporter "baby" and a "bitch" and we'll all just supposed to continue on tomorrow as though any of this insanity is normal or acceptable

I still don’t get how Schumer is able to hold on to his leadership posiiton. “I vote and lead my caucus according to what the voices in my head tell me” would be utterly disqualifying for anyone else.

I think we should be able to recall any and ALL politicians whenever the public deems necessary.

as per melissa's thread, it is really important to understand that a major goal of this administration is the resegregation of key institutions of american society

Excited to live in a country where you can mail someone a handgun but not an abortion pill
