NYT visual investigative journalist Christiaan Triebert with a vital fact check of Palantir CEO Alex Karp:

Why are Congressional Democrats such 🗑️? Top House Democrat waiving the surrender flag but thankfully @atrupar.com went into his mentions to talk some basic sense.

Holy shit, these people have no idea: The people launching the pogroms against immigrants in Belfast are loyalists, i.e. loyal to the British crown. They hate the concept of being Irish.

I have complicated opinions about guns, but telling a bunch of people in Northern Fucken Ireland that more people having guns is a surefire way to guarantee political stability is ... there isn't a word in any language on earth to fully capture the fathomless depths of misplaced this take exhibits

What White House? 👀 #TrashyTackyTawdry_tRump 🤢

If you want to know how dumb maga really it, consider they paid $500 for a $40 phone.

Elon Musk spent millions to elect Trump. His company Starlink, which dominates rural broadband services, lobbied to cut funding for rural broadband alternatives. Now, Starlink is jacking up prices on its captive customers. Government for the billionaires, by the billionaires.

With Donald Trump’s pardon of former Indiana Rep. Steve Buyer over the weekend, he has now pardoned at least 11 former GOP politicians, almost all of them on charges of corruption or somehow violating the public trust.

🚨BREAKING: The Wisconsin Supreme Court agreed Thursday to hear an appeal seeking to strike down the state’s Republican gerrymandered congressional map, reviving a major fight for fairer maps that could reshape Wisconsin’s U.S. House delegation for 2028. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

What I saw on video this morning at Commodore John Rodgers Elementary/Middle School is deeply disturbing.

ABOLISH AND PROSECUTE ICE. THERE IS NO MOVING FORWARD WITHOUT TRIALS.

NEW from @toni-v-aguilar.bsky.social and yours truly. A deep dive into the federal contracts and corporate sponsorships that are flowing into the Trumpified 250th anniversary celebrations. Lots in here! Enjoy! www.citizen.org/article/maga...

DOJ Agency Has No Record of Trump’s Shady IRS Settlement newrepublic.com/post/211731/...

“The DOJ’s strategy is shaping up to be: move fast, argue mootness, and hope the judges blink. But the judges don’t appear to be blinking. And the collisions are imminent.”

This is Arlo. He was on a walk when he found a missing and injured dog by following a trail of blood. We're awarding Arlo and his keen nose with our highest honor, a 15/10.

The escalation of ICE tactics in Baltimore, including staging outside of schools and now apprehending people on school property, is wholly unacceptable. Our thoughts are with the people now in ICE custody, and the little ones who had to witness this disturbing incident.

Schools should be ICE-free zones. www.thebanner.com/education/k-...

So I feel like the Book Club Spam, while continuing unrelenting, is becoming more obviously ridiculous. They no longer get my name right. They claim to love books that I've never written and that probably don't exist. x

It seriously bothers me that so many journalists who cover space related subjects refuse to hold Elon Musk to account for his racism, bigotry, and calls to violence. I’ve lost respect for some genuinely talented and knowledgeable people who pretend not to see what’s happening.

Another case today of someone who was frequently in the US rejected at the border on arbitrary grounds & having that rejection permanently making travel to the US hard/impossible for the rest of their life. I can't stress this enough: do not travel to the US. It wouldn't happen to you until it has.

#datacenters are billionaire cash grabs at the cost of the local communities who will pay higher utilities costs, have water resources comprised and on top of it, #CEOs want us to fund it through taxes and investments. Hey #DemocratSenators and #RepublicanSenators - WE DON'T WANT THIS. #ai

These are simply the dumbest people of all time.

Avec moi le déluge!

A sekret opening!

95% of CDC workers say Americans will die because of federal cuts to the agency. Virtually all staffers (99%) say reductions in staff and lack of leadership have left the agency unprepared to respond to a pandemic or other public health emergency. ow.ly/UTK550ZaH3c

Jane was my neighbor and acquaintance, many years after being somebody whose books gave me great comfort and joy. She was kind, clever, welcoming, generous, and absolutely a badass and she will be very much missed.

Last summer I grew some weed. It’s legal here. Think you can have 12plants a person. Woof. I have three. A deer ate one.

Reading the recent Stalin biography by Simon Sebag Montefiore, and this paragraph sounds quite familiar in our current context. Highly recommend btw.

My mother, the inimitable Jane Yolen passed away this morning after a blessingly short fight with Alzheimer’s. She did not suffer, and went peacefully into the ether which, I am certain for her, will be filled with words of the most exquisite beauty and meaning.

Day 12 Tirana Albania: the streets as packed with protesters, it’s a multi-generational event that transcends all the Albanian society as a whole. Hands off Albania! 🇦🇱

@memizon.bsky.social no other possible explanation

They came here fleeing persecution; rather than give them refuge, Marco Rubio’s state department will send them to die in countries they’ve never been to. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/11/w...

I just want everyone to know that every single day 5 million people tell @bencollins.bsky.social that it's hard to differentiate between The Onion and real news now. Every day. Every hour. Every single time a new person talks to him. And honestly, I can't blame them with this one.

By law, the DNI must have extensive intelligence background and Jay Clayton has none, but he did sign the indictment of Maduro & is willing to spread Trump’s election lies. Trump is in countless wars but still picks a DNI who knows nothing about intelligence. This is dangerous & illegal malpractice.

In reality, y’all loathed Obama because you’re r*cist. We loathe Trump because he’s r*cist. Qasim Rashid

Mike Johnson lies like a grifting 1980s televangelist.

MIKE JOHNSON: “Look, some of these efforts are so diabolical and so far upstream it’s impossible to prove. But I think everybody knows instinctively that something is wrong here.”

Smoking, or non-smoking..?

Corruption is contagious!
