A round up of this week's @250to250.bsky.social one-minute videos about U.S. History:

The removal might just be the most attended event at the Kennedy center since Trump took over.

THIS

Remembering the first Memorial Day observance. In 1865 South Carolina. Organized by 10,000 newly freed slaves. Forgotten by history for more than 100 years. www.history.com/articles/mem...

If releasing your tax returns and the Epstein files would end your presidency, then your presidency must end. It’s that simple.

Thomas Massie: “Today is the six month anniversary of the Epstein Transparency Act. We’ve taken out two dozen CEOs, an ambassador, a prince, a prime minister, a minister of culture, that was just six months. I’ve got seven months left in Congress.” video courtesy @acyn.bsky.social

Hello, Harry! #GreatBlueHeron #LakeMurray #SouthCarolina

The more things change The more they stay the same.

I saw this yesterday. I love when words have multiple meanings.

THIS!

“Feud with the Pope” is BACK as a likely Wikipedia section heading after a 400-year gap.

My new thing is that when someone asks me what I think about 2028, I ask them what they think about 2026. Because this November is the next election. Focus. There'll be plenty of time to talk about 2028 after we're done celebrating over washing Republicans out of Congress this November.

TIL the last us president who didn’t bomb brown people was Jimmy fuckin Carter.. well then..

Former TIME editor Richard Stengel: “He is repeating every foreign and domestic policy mistake the US has made over the last 5 decades, but he’s doing it with a gracelessness, cluelessness, and corruption that has no precedent.”

He is correct. It is right-wing news saying one outlandish thing after another to get stoopid people to agree and educated to debate. Causing debate and division. "Left wing news" spends its time countering with overly polite reporting, not to offend right wingers.

Octavia E. Butler, 1998:

Holy Cow! Who isn’t talking and no one talking about? open.substack.com/pub/wisewolf...

JD Vance is on a historic roll: He campaigns for AfD in Germany - they lose. Invited the Pope to come to US for Trump’s big event - Pope refuses. Leads peace negotiations with Iran - fails miserably. Campaigns in Hungary for Orbán - who gets smoked.

Man I miss when there was some class, some subtlety, when we fucked with other countries' elections.

PLEASE DO NOT GET DISTRACTED….THERE IS AN ORANGE RAPIST, PEDOPHILE, FELON, BIGOT, ANTISEMITIC, RACIST MONSTER IN THE WHITE HOUSE!! THIS IS NOT NORMAL…. 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

After the sloppy and inept execution of Trump’s failure in Iran last week, I hope the precise and letter-perfect execution by NASA this week reminds the world that the United States is still capable of high levels of competence, in spite of its ridiculously incompetent and stupid president.

“Join with us in choosing hope over fear, democracy over authoritarianism, the rule of law, lawlessness, ethics over unbridled corruption. Resistance over complacency, truth over lies, unity over division, and peace over war.” -Bruce Springsteen in Los Angeles variety.com/2026/music/c...

Here's one that's gone under the radar. Trump is moving the US Forest Service to Utah, the implications are savage. "The only beneficiaries of the move and other rollbacks to public land policy from this past year are billionaires and extractive industries." www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Welcome Home #Artemis Heroes!!! #NASA

Happy TACO Tuesday

Happy War Crimes Day to all who celebrate.

This is an actual post. This is not funny. This is beyond desperate. This is a deeply unwell man who doesn’t belong anywhere near the levers of power. Every member of his cabinet and Congress is complicit in not demanding his removal now.

A different perspective. Always helpful.

NASA’s Earth photos from Artemis inspired me to put this on today… 🙂 Getting lots of positive comments on it as I run errands…

Seems reasonable

We don't do this out of anger or revenge. We do it because principle has to mean something. New piece open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

Well, if you're feeling burned (yet again) by legacy media completely flopping (yet again) after Trump's bullshit presidential address, just a gentle reminder there's never been a better time to support independent media. Subscribe: charlotteclymer.substack.com

That's awesome. I enjoy watching PBS documentaries such as Frontline, NOVA, Nature, etc. He can't handle the truth, especially the ones criticizing him and his corrupted administration.

Think about that..

I was just helping my kid with their high school Gov homework, and was astonished to learn the United States has a Congress.

Five-time draft dodger says what now?

Trump is an abhorant piece of Human garbage.

And the way to fix it is universal basic income and taxing wealth. We have to properly distribute productivity gains with ALL.

Happy 3.14(159265…)!!

✋ Former USG war crimes lawyer here. Apropos of SecDef's remarks this morning: Denial of quarter—even the declaration of no quarter—is a war crime. And recognized as such by the US Government. From DoD's Manual for Military Commissions.

After watching this shit show in Iran can we now agree that maybe having academics isn’t a bad thing?

THIS!

Trump openly lies about the bombed girls school. As Americans we make mistakes in war but they are unintentional and we own them. Trump blaming Iran is no different than what Putin does when he blames Ukraine for attacks Russia clearly does. We’ve become accepting of pure lies

A must-listen. A brilliant, concise analysis of the war and its implications. The Rachel Maddow Show: Maddow: Trump admits what the attack on Iran is really for Episode webpage: www.ms.now Media file: dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3...
