Been saying for a good minute now that “efficiency” is fundamentally inhuman. We don’t think or function that way. No more!

DAMMIT!!! I was so excited to hear JoJo’s take on Chess, and now they’re closing?!

The 'abandon Texas' discourse in the USA seems analogous to the 'abandon Hungary' argument in the EU. In both cases it's morally wrong to abandon people trapped under authoritarian. And in one case so far the government has flipped.

Mmmmmm, the sound of rain.

We’re going to celebrate an inclusive United States of America. We are going to celebrate an America that looks out for its neighbors. An America that recognizes it is an interdependent part of this rock hurtling through space. An America of expanded opportunity, wealth, health, safety, and shelter.

We are all having entirely too much information thrown at us. And how and why are there SO MANY PODCASTS?!

This all day. EVERY DAY I HAVE TO WALK PAST THE EMPTY DESKS OF PEOPLE WHO WORKED TO STOP HIV. A SEA OF EMPTY DESKS. EVERY. DAY. the folks screaming the loudest about genocide are actively perpetrating one.

Twenty years of showing up for Houston. Rep. Al Green came to Congress in 2005 as a civil rights veteran and never stopped fighting. He carried that same energy to the House floor every single day. We honor his service and his legacy.

Republican primary voters are all in, man. Wild. Just an incredible bunch of rubes.

Looks like you really won’t be able to throw a stone this upcoming theater season without hitting a cast member in a production of Come From Away.

Some body fat is key to youthfulness. Look at everybody who ended up in the MCU. Like, even Paul Rudd aged after the Marvel training regimen.

Sanity prevailed. Appreciate the Republican and Democratic leaders who did what was best for SC and not what was best for the White House.

Yesterday: Trump falls asleep at Memorial Day event Today: Trump goes to Walter Reed for his second "annual" checkup in just 7 months Tomorrow: Trump holds rare cabinet meeting at Camp David for undisclosed reasons 🤔

Hide your ketchup!

🚨GREAT NEWS — My bipartisan bill to address gaps in recycling and composting infrastructure across the country passed committee and is now heading to the House Floor for a full vote!  ♻️

Trump’s crew is handing out IRS audit immunity & a $1.8 BILLION DOJ “compensation” fund to reward his loyalists. Thousands of stock trades disclosed. Brennan Center calls it “corruption in plain sight.” www.npr.org/2026/05/25/n...

RIP Sonny Rollins, a great jazz talent and the last surviving musician in one of the best photos of men in suits during the 20th century

The world tries to make transness complicated, but there is nothing simpler or more beautiful than a person finally coming home to themselves.

Remember that whimsy is also revolutionary. The bastards hate it because they don’t understand it.

Despite what you may see portrayed every day, there remains incredible beauty in this world and in us. And it is very much worth fighting for.

I guess I have to go to work.

I’m pretty sure that’s the esteemed DR. Pickles. Pickles didn’t earn that Ph.D. for nothing.

“Conservative” is such a timid adjective for the what the Republican Party has succumbed to today. And it always was.

Next Sunday! Join @xavierbecerra.bsky.social for the big Get Out The Vote rally in Long Beach! #BecerraEra #BHive #BecerraForGovernor

It is with deep sorrow and profound love that we announce the passing of Sonny Rollins. The Saxophone Colossus died this afternoon at his home in Woodstock, NY at the age of 95. 1/2

Widow’s Bay is so good. And you can just turn Matthew Rhys loose to do anything on camera and it’s absolutely riveting. Telling entire stories with just his eyes.

The conditions in Delaney Hall are absolutely unacceptable. Shut it down NOW.

And we’ve still got stupid internal drama going on in our party. And these egos need to get over themselves.

Sonny Rollins, one of the most influential Jazz musicians of our time, died this afternoon. He was 95

Y’all, can we please focus? Apparently 31% of Americans consider themselves MAHA, abd 41% believe we need fewer vaccines. We have got to work to reverse the spread of ignorance and stupidity. youtu.be/8rRDXLZ28NQ?...

BREAKING: Adam Hoffman has been released from jail for "good behavior." Hoffman is the Waco, TX attorney who faced life without parole for repeatedly raping a young boy, until Texas AG Ken Paxton offered him 1 day in jail and no need to register as a sex offender.

Found this short from @gbhnews.bsky.social explaining Memorial Day's Black beginnings. #academicsky #blacksky

📣Listen up, my pale siblings. Have you been guilty? We can always do better.

Note the tone of every Democrats’ Memorial Day post versus that of our President. He is an absolute embarrassment to the office.

#OnThisDay 1946: In an annual Memorial Day tradition, the crew of a westbound Chicago Northwestern train stops to lay flowers at the grave of "The Little Fellow," a young boy who died of smallpox while travelling with his itinerant railroad worker family in South Dakota in 1888.

SImplicity is having a huge pattern sale if youve been waiting to pick something up

BREAKING: Pope Leo XIV makes historic apology for Holy See's own role in legitimizing slavery and for failing to condemn it for centuries.

Y’all might get sick of hearing this, but I’ve been waiting fifty years for it. I am a Bicentennial Baby, born in 1976, and I love the idea of this project. I am most proud of this country when we are expanding who we are and what it means to be American. 🇺🇸 #EPluribusUnum

Honestly, one of the funniest tweets I've ever seen.

May 24, 2026

To my peeps, and my Brown and LGBTQ friends. Never forget that your light was so damn bright they handed the world to the first asshole who promised to dim it.

i am so bitter about how western gay leftists shat on rainbow capitalism, they signed the death warrant for all of us in exchange for ingroup signalling

I don’t understand being this willfully ignorant of the costs of such alliances. Maybe that Thiel money is just that good.

It’s Pedro Pascal. And puppies. youtu.be/sDMhITZIMqU?...

Once again: All I can say about BlueSky engagement is that I’ve raised over 3x as much for Democrats so far this cycle (when I’m primarily posting here) than I had at the same point 4 years ago (when I posted almost exclusively at Twitter).

Hey if you missed MPR’s broadcast - on radios! - of Wits, they’re REPLAYING it tomorrow at 9am central! @pftompkins.bsky.social! Your Smith! John Munson & the Witnesses! @billcorbett.bsky.social! Me! Others! www.mprnews.org

“We should close ranks behind Ken Martin, fix what needs fixing behind the scenes, and aim our fire where it belongs: at Donald Trump and the Republicans trying to dismantle democracy, not at the organizer‑in‑chief of a party that keeps, inconveniently for his critics, winning.”

It is what we thought it would be, which is, find the dumbest radical centrist former politician you can think of and install them as DNC chair to keep Third Way and Searchlight running the show
