i genuinely hate how internet culture has become so normalized and widespread. i do not want a white house deputy chief of staff saying "it's white boy november" or a secretary of state tweeting that he's "locked in for this banger." grow up.

“It’s just burning. I just wanted to try to keep people safe.” ICE fired pepper spray at Senator Andy Kim and protesters outside a detention facility in New Jersey. Not another penny should go to these out-of-control agencies — and when we regain power, we will hold all of these thugs accountable.

There's a situation unfolding in the land of online bookselling that I haven't discussed primarily because I have little information to share. An unknown company is making multi-volume purchases, and when I say multi-, I mean some of us have been getting 500 orders a week. For REALLY random books.

Another woman has been shot and killed by her partner. Law enforcement will tell you there’s no threat to the public, but this woman was a member of the public, as are the 70 women shot and killed by partners every month in the U.S. We have to name this as a pattern… nbcboston.app.link/FYOZ1Ypwr3b

The best way to honor fallen soldiers is to avoid careless reasons to create more of them.

Several treatment centers have been destroyed and tensions are rising in Congo, the center of the Ebola outbreak.

Again, straight from Delaney Hall in Newark NJ: ICE just tear gassed Senator Andy Kim.

I’m 95% done with dinner I just have to decide what I’m eating, how I’m cooking it, and what store I want to shop at

Again, please share. In every aspect of American history you will run smack dab into the critical contributions of Black people. It’s not Black history. It’s American history. Trying to erase it is a fool’s errand. We live it every day. time.com/5836444/blac...

Most people think pandemics start in a jungle or a lab. No. They start when the alarm system fails. And right now, America is quietly dismantling its own...budget cut by budget cut, vacancy by vacancy. Almost nobody is talking about it. Here's what's really happening. www.jackhopkinsnow.com

Terrorist leader Putin, through his spokesperson Maria Zakharova, is threatening to kill diplomats based in Kyiv. Prediction: Western democracies will pretend this isn't happening, ignore the undeniable fact russia is at war with them, and do absolutely nothing.

On Memorial Day, we pay tribute to the brave men and women in uniform who gave their lives for this country that we love. It is a debt we can never fully repay, but we must never stop trying.

“Trump admin shutting key US researchers out of global virus response talks, documents and sources reveal.” They gutted the experts. Silenced the scientists. Now America is facing Ebola and hantavirus outbreaks with empty chairs, broken chains of command, and politics where competence used to live.

Welsh scientists have developed a new biodegradable plastic made from seaweed that could one day replace fossil fuel-based food packaging

Fuck Israel and the American government. The moment America stops sending arms to Israel, all these wars will end. This will stop Israel's arrogance, genocide, and hatred towards all who are not Jews

“After 60+ years on this planet, I think I finally understand how Ford Prefect felt.”

Dear CEO, rollin' up on a graduation like, "Enjoy the robot uprising and 20% unemployment." Stop actin' surprised when your ass gets booed and whatnot.

60 Minutes confirms Iran is bypassing the US blockade and exporting 100,000 more barrels of oil per day than before the war. Most of it is reportedly going to China.

The sheriff's office still claims that the woman, a US citizen, was deportable despite all evidence to the contrary because the motivation is just racism, not anything else. Same as it ever was, and it endangers us all. thelensnola.org/2026/05/23/u...

A day after The Late Show ended, Colbert hosted an episode of public access program Only In Monroe, reviving his 11-year-old gag. How bad is CBS/Paramount taking it? They issued copyright complaints for a show they don't own. 🤣 CBS would hate it if you watch here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DlF...

Anyone else just going to skip all July 4/250 celebrations, large & small, this year? I will go to any and all ethnic festival & art festival, but I cannot celebrate the slow death* of my country at the hands of stupid, corrupt pieces of shit. *Which we can reverse if voters stop being idiots.

The tech bros gave us crypto currency that isn’t currency, artificial intelligence that isn’t intelligence, and prediction markets that are inside-trader scams. On the other hand, they have given us gigantic data centers that employ no one and destroy communities. So there’s that.

In a functioning democracy, we could count on the government to give us something approximating the truth after a fatal shooting outside the White House. But in whatever transitional system we’re in now, we automatically assume the regime is lying to us.

He is... the most interesting cat in the world.

The comparison I heard was data centers using the same amount of water as golf courses, and for that I was all, my brother in Christ, let me tell you what I think we should do with golf courses

Stephen Colbert ended his final episode of The Late Show while singing "Hello, Goodbye" with Paul McCartney on the Ed Sullivan stage that made The Beatles mega stars.

Abrego Garcia should apply for compensation from the weaponization fund

Why this GOP Congress sucks...

Who cares about the DNC report? It's one of a million opinions and theories, that frankly I am sick of hearing about. Everyone has an opinion about why we lost. I don't need to see a bunch of them in writing. I don't need to justify my vote for Democracy. It was obvious which way to vote.

These 8 Democrats voted to pass a national ban on trans teachers and mention of LGBTQ topics. Rep Henry Cuellar (TX) Rep. Don Davis (NC) Rep. Cleo Fields (LA) Rep. Laura Gillen (NY) Rep. Vicente González (TX) Rep. Marcy Kaptur (OH) Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (WA) Rep. Eugene Vindman (VA)

NEW: You've asked for the text of my $8.647 million dollar claim to Todd Blanche pursuant to the $1.7B slush fund so you can write your own. Here it is: www.muellershewrote.com/p/new-ive-fi...

“.. American officials did not learn of the outbreak until Thursday, nine days after the World Health Organization did, and almost a month after the first person died.” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2026/05/20/h...

One of many reasons why the Founders specifically chose not to require that is because 8 of the signers of the Declaration of Independence were born outside the colonies and 9 of the 95 representatives elected to the first Congress were born outside the US.

NEW: The Colorado Democratic Party has formally condemned and censured Governor Jared Polis for granting clemency to Tina Peters. Polis is hereby banned from speaking or being honored at party events. 90% of CDP central committee members voted to reprimand Polis.

This means opposing anyone and everyone who supports or enables the fascism currently spearheaded by Trumpists, which includes fascists like anti-Trump Republicans and the anti-Trump far right (Massie/MTG) but even any Democrat being bipartisan with ANY Republican in office. Anti-fascism is the goal

Barney Frank lived his truth at a time when doing so cost everything, and he did it anyway. The first sitting congressman to come out as gay, the first to marry his husband. He fought for all of us with humor, ferocity, and brilliance. Rest well, Barney. We carry your courage forward.

Look all I see is Democrats voting with Republicans on issues such as these which you should not be so what is the point of voting blue no matter who if you’re going to vote with Republicans anyway maybe you wanna talk to your colleagues bsky.app/profile/patr...

“Everyone, especially in South Sudan, wanted to know if the US really had cut off aid. It was easier for them to believe that the aid organizations were lying to them than to think that the United States would do this."

You cannot commit genocide in Gaza, invade Lebanon, bomb Iran, Syria, Yemen, and Iraq, violate Geneva and Vienna Conventions, international law, human rights, and state sovereignty, then hide behind anti-Semitism... There is no rise in anti-Semitism.

Somehow I missed this, but a worker *died* at the spacex facility in Texas. It's classified as an "accident" but there's no coincidence- spacex has 6x the worker injury rate compared to other aerospace companies. Until we regulate them, oligarchs will always prioritize power and profit over people.
