As a certain wedding creates gridlock & drains resources in NYC, the bride's fans gush it's all grand- she "donates millions" as one of the "good ones." Nah. That's practically couch change to a billionaire, just a tax break/ PR. No such thing as an ethical billionaire. youtube.com/shorts/5s9VH...

I really didn't expect people to elect a bunch of literal Captian Planet villains out of spite because of COVID but here we are.

Wacom recently asked me to talk about why I make queer comics, and given there are multiple bills right now floating around in congress that are effectively "we will kill your livelihood if we get a sniff of queer" I had some pretty strong, simply feelings to relay.

What they're setting up with this is a precedent that federal statutes can place a ceiling on civil rights for protected groups at the state level. California and NY have protections in their constitutions enacted by popular vote to protect trans people. www.washingtonpost.com/education/20...

there is a literacy crisis at the Supreme Court: only 5 of 9 justices are capable of reading the Fourteenth Amendment AND it took them a year and a half to do so tragic tbh ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/birth...

I'm not catholic but holy shit is this a fun read. It's a huge thread but @clairewillett.bsky.social does an amazing job of explaining everything in an interesting and clear way that even non-catholics can follow.

But ultimately, people don't hate @housedemocrats.bsky.social generally and @gluesenkampperez.house.gov specifically bc of a position on a single issue. Ppl hate them bc they listen to the desperate pleas of a parent and have nothing to offer beyond thoughts and prayers and maybe a lottery.

But this is a member of congress. @gluesenkampperez.house.gov is listening to a constituent tell her that they fear their child has no future without winning a college scholarship lottery, and MGP's response is, "What if we banned 0.1% of people from the lottery?" and not "What if we fixed funding?"

Awesome. Hope they die mad about it

This country was one person's vote away this morning from putting any birthright citizen in danger of being deported tomorrow. We are so much closer to the abyss than we think. Man oh man.

Surprise! The Pedo Party is using the transphobia and subsequent induced mayhem as a way to access underage girls.

the clear takeaway from the 100-plus pages of dissents in Trump v. Barbara is that these mfers aren't going to stop coming for birthright citizenship their morally illiterate misread of the 14th Amendment will motivate the conservative legal movement for years ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/birth...

Just found this next to the definition of lemming:

It's STFU Friday. Refresh the script 👇

What do you mean abolishing ICE is not doable? It was created in 2003. There are Missy Elliot songs older than ICE.

I continue to think that Mamdani’s inability to stop smiling really takes the sting out of this stuff “this man is destroying the country!” *smash cut to an extremely happy-looking Mamdani smiling like a dork* everyone else in this one looks quite nice too

At this point, it’s clear as day that Democratic Socialists are more in line with what most democrats want than the weak, sniveling, moderate establishment dems. You reap what you sow. They’re trying to frame this as if the party is being stolen, but it feels like it’s being taken back to me.

PETERS: If a state refuses to turn their absentee voter list to the federal govt, will Postal Service still mail their ballots under this proposed rule? STEINER: No PETERS: So it basically coerces states to hand over their absentee voter rolls or face consequences of not being able to vote by mail

"A MAGA congressman has been splurging thousands of donor dollars on ski trips and fine dining like someone who didn’t just spend half a decade under investigation for alleged abuse of campaign funds. " #hidezenga www.thedailybeast.com/maga-rep-spl...

Musk is a dangerous parasite.

Musk says not a single person has died due to him axing USAID. Sadly, part of my job involves tracking aid spending. So here’s a thread with just some of the people who lost their lives because of USAID cuts

Bookshop is having a bunch of sales for their event Anti Prime Day! bookshop.org/info/anti-pr...

Elon Musk keeps killing people but remember, he is very rich.

The women have won four World Cups, but absolutely congratulations to the men for making it to the knockout round. Yes, this is a reminder that the USA has, in fact, won a World Cup — four of them. In case you heard otherwise.

@slotkin.senate.gov gonna vote to bankroll another genocide or was one enough for your aipac donors?

What goes unsaid in these heinous stories about denying essential aid is that a 28-year-old DOGE lackey with zero experience named Jeremy Lewin was named Acting Director of the State Department’s Office of Foreign Assistance in April 2025 and still hasn’t had a confirmation hearing.

Excellent thread that is also an implicit recognition that our total ideologically-based partisan sorting is a *very* recent phenomenon, as best distilled—like everything else in all of American political history—by the Supreme Court. That sorting may be good or bad, but at least it’s clarifying.

"Why do innocent people flee the police?" Idk, maybe the fact that they kill newborn babies and puppies might have something to do with it. Just saying.

The Czar’s feelings are so bubble-wrapped from reality that he has no idea most of the country is praying for him to [REDACTED] as soon as possible

Mike Rogers voted to raise prescription drug prices 60 times. Architected the legislation that kicked off the opioid epidemic. Took a $14 million payout as a pharma lobbyist. Lives in Florida. We're going to beat him in November.

My puppy turned 8 today! Seeing as there are absolutely no other birthdays of note today, let's celebrate her! Despite having the coloring of a border collie, she is a pyrenees/ black lab mix who weighs 100lbs and I love her

Nathan J Robinson: Instead of discussing how Elon Musk is now the world's first trillionaire, we should talk about how he killed hundreds of thousands of people through his dismantling of food and medical aid to poor countries www.currentaffairs.org/news/how-elo...

Mainstream media is 24/7 saturation of poor people committing petty crimes. Shoplifting out of control! Venezuelan thugs are stealing your apartment! Meanwhile billionaires are genocidal serial killers and treated like the pillars of our society

The world's first trillionaire received 38 Billion Dollars from the US government. But, no, we won't have enough money to pay for school lunches for your kids. Or give you healthcare. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

couple things. i’ve never wanted to do political comedy. and it’s also really hard to punch up when they’re so low. i dislike this timeline and also can’t get my hands around its neck.

I think conspiracy may be a bad frame for right wing election denial because what they’re really expressing is a belief in is the idea that non-white people shouldn’t be able to vote.

Party of family values!!! Amirite.

i don’t have to believe any conservative other than Graham Platner, who already told us all exactly what he believes, which is nazism. the woman coming forward about Platner is a republican because Platner was a republican & dated other rightwingers. you lack critical thinking on this topic.

We quite literally have a whites only refugee program and somehow the media won’t call the Administration white supremacists.

"Be more queer, be more goth, tell the TERFs to fuck right off."

calling women who take allegations of domestic violence seriously “HR ladies” is a way to diminish the power we have worked so hard to gain and make women feel annoying for caring. i hope women in this category know it is never annoying to care.

There is no word in the English language to adequately describe the anger and frustration and disbelief that Americans are feeling….

We’re not even remotely close to angry enough in this country.. They’ve already stripped us of power and manufactured a dependency on the billionaire class. Fear of lost wages, loss of job, Mortgage, rent, car insurance, health insurance etc.. You’re too poor to protest or disrupt the status quo.

We don't want a government run like a business, we want a country run like a household. Because we live here.

subtle.

I will not allow Jewish suffering to be used as a shield for war crimes. And I will not let American Muslims be smeared when 25 years of data flatly contradict it. My analysis of who is really behind antisemitism in the U.S. based on the ADL's own data:
