Please check out the latest vid summary of the report I led for the lovelies at @greenpeaceap.bsky.social Bluesky why do you hate 9:16 aspect ratio so much, it's what all the kids are doing!!!!

This right here.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz signs legislation paving way for return of 3,400 acres to Fond du Lac Band. #landback www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

Chris, the world is built on shitty people because it takes a tremendous amount of strength and skill to remain decent and still be able to fight in the cesspools where these people reside - and so they often win by default. Greed has destroyed so, so much in this world and for what.

Former human rights lawyer here: under international human rights law, bombing or gassing a medical facility is a crime against humanity. Last night, the NJ state police gassed the medic tent at Delaney Hall over and over and over again until medics had to abandon it and flee for their lives.

I’m a climate scientist. Let me fix this headline. “Nearly a century ago, scientists showed that burning fossil fuels warms the planet. Today, we know human emissions account for over 100% of the warming. Yet dark money and disinformation still work to keep Americans addicted to fossil fuels.”

you know social media isn't what it was a decade ago because back then The Masshole Meteor gimmick account would already have 30,000 followers

Just going to join with the many others saying: this is simple courage & humanity & whatever else you think about the race, Steyer deserves enormous credit for it.

The other thing that’s really bothering me about Mikie Sherrill’s most recent press conference is the idea that only people in New Jersey should be protesting at Delaney Hall. There are 300 people on a hunger and labor strike inside in deplorable conditions. Does empathy stop at the state line?

@edmarkey.bsky.social got a very enthusiastic response from the crowd here when he said “we don’t need a senator who scapegoats trans kids”

Eager to add your voice to the "de-ICE" movement, especially related to Delaney Hall? @filmmakerjulie.bsky.social and I have a suggestion in this op-ed we wrote about boycotting Citizens Bank, which finances private prison companies running ICE concentration camps. www.nj.com/opinion/2026...

It’s telling how many of the large news organizations who are flush with money aren’t sending journalists to cover ICE (and now state trooper) violence overnight outside Delaney Hall and the independent outlets with far less financial and insurance coverage are braving it.

www.nbcnews.com/politics/imm... - The people who have been pushing back on this are winning.

Trump took another cognitive/dementia test at Walter Reed. They don’t just give these things out for fun, and it’s definitely not normal to take them several times a year if there’s no concern. He was also seen by 22 specialists and got a chest CT. And they released the results 11 pm Friday. 🤔

My mom finally switched from google to duckduckgo, and has already substituted "ask the Duck" for "google it" No notes

It’s true. They don’t fix anything. They are not attractive to women, or men. They are not muscular or quick-witted. They are not nurturing. They do not seem confident, or they wouldn’t be trying to eliminate everyone else from full social participation. Their aim seems to be King of Incel Nazis

they are freaked out.

Garcia: "I asked former AG Bondi five times about her conversations with President Trump, whether he directed her on the Epstein files, what he knew, and she refused to answer any questions about President Trump."

Vietnam War veterans who dedicated much of their lives to U.S. government service are suing the Trump admin to halt the construction of Trump's proposed arch. Its planned height — twice of the Lincoln Memorial — would obstruct the view between the two hallowed memorials in a "disrespectful" manner.

4pm!! 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

🏉TIME TO BE DETERMINED but it’ll likely be between 5 and 6 pm🏉 The last game against L-S HS was epic, so you are in for a really good game ⚡️ 📸 by John Donovan #SouthShore #IrishRiviera

I was surprised, coming from the west coast. People kept saying oh, but it's old. I was like HAZARD ⚠️

After a Wisconsin town did this, the mayor said: “The fact that they didn’t take the cameras down shows that we are the product. They were never really selling to us in the first place. They're selling to much bigger agencies the ability to spy on a ton of people.” (via boltsmag.org/verona-wisco...)

NPR is shrinking its newsroom through layoffs and buyouts and is reducing staff dedicated to covering both climate and science. "The climate desk no longer exists separately but has been folded into the National Desk," writes Neela Banerjee, who headed the climate desk but was just laid off.

Sadly, another has fallen:

President of MIT not mincing words today in @statnews.com www.statnews.com/2026/05/27/s...

Hey university professor types! Please nominate the good people of Minneapolis for a Nobel Peace Prize! 💜 You're eligible to do so!

Milli Vanilli won't sing— yeah, we knew that.

🚨ICE Recklessly Kicks Protester Into Massive Moving Truck, Protesters FOOT AND LEG BENT UNDER TRUCK. SUPPORT this ON-THE-GROUND reporting for as low as $5 bucks a month—join link in follow up post. www.statuscoupsubstack.com/p/horrifying...

We fought a war 250 years ago to get a King’s name off our laws. Now, we have a President forcing his face onto our money just to brand the government like a hotel chain. We didn’t trade a crown for a gold-plated ego. This is a Republic. Not a franchise.

station wayfinding 7.5 million???? Everyone will have a smart phone and can find their way to south station. If this number is accurate, I cant imagine how much money the T is actually waisting.

Yikes. Although $7.5m for wayfinding seems like a lot and making the T foot the $8 million bill for security for soccer hooligans … also a lot.

Justice Department launches a criminal investigation into Trump accuser E. Jean Carroll

Fuck this demented bigot and fuck everyone who supports or apologizes for him

In the end we were just his latest casino and whatnot.

This sounds like an important job: "STAT is seeking an ambitious and intellectually curious reporter to cover one of the defining issues in medicine, science, and public health today: declining trust in science… This is a new role at STAT.”

NEW: The $1.8B slush fund is NOT A SETTLEMENT. And now, 35 former judges have filed a motion to REOPEN the Trump/IRS case so the judge can commence an inquiry into whether the court was deceived. I've been sayin!! storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

OK, has anybody checked to see if the guy who’s doing the reflecting pool was the same guy who did the Mar-a-Lago pool when it flooded where all of the confidential records were? Or whatever? Cc @muellershewrote.com

With Forbes warning the Gen AI bubble bursting will wipe $40 trillion off global markets, I wrote about the foundational lies the industry tells about the usefulness, durability, accuracy and - yes - intelligence of its products All of which are weapons-grade horseshit medium.com/@patchgaley/...

Ohhh… maybe this is why Trump skipped his own son’s wedding to rage-post all night (again)? www.lgbtqnation.com/2026/05/quic...

I think a lot about these words of wisdom on voting from the two Rebeccas: “Voting is a chess move, not a valentine.” — @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social “We don’t vote for candidates we admire so much as we vote for the next fight that we want to have.” — @rfkuang.bsky.social

David has many very good posts, but his best posts are carbon removal political economy posts, yet somehow they never get the RTs they deserve

They stole the internet’s knowledge and all the work that went into it and they want to sell it back to us for a fee. What a business model.

Absolutely nothing is stopping John Cornyn, Tillis, Murkowski, & Paul from caucusing immediately with Democrats & giving them control of the Senate. The same is true of Thomas Massie & any 2 retiring GOP Reps in the House. It is a choice to continue caucusing with the authoritarian personality cult.
