This headline from Justice Roberts and the red banner of what Tennessee just did to Memphis after the SCOTUS gutted the Voting Rights Act..

Limitless, manic, unfixable, unforgivable destruction.

Seeing little kids get gassed by their own governmnent in Portland is up there with the most traumatic things I've witnessed as a journalist

This is another reason for the decline in births in America. In many states, women are terrified of pregnancy. What if a pregnancy goes bad and needs to be terminated? In many states, doctors will just watch as they bleed out.

Good ole Senator Foghorn Leghorn shares his wit ‘n wisdom.

And your point, sir??

Uh, Marco? What, if any, were the objectives of that operation??

The bonus should help during their disbarment proceedings.

Love this concerned Georgia citizen!!

Growing up in Russia helped the brilliant M. Gessen understand our current political and economic catastrophe.

@jkbjournalist.bsky.social is a giant of investigative reporting. There would be no “Epstein Files” without her decades of work on this massive story for the @miamiherald.com .

As a knitter, I love this story! @joycewhitevance.bsky.social

All of this. Please.

I have two daughters and I think about this all the time. I don't know how I will explain it to them when the time comes. bsky.app/profile/carn...

This is what Marco Rubio decided to do with his life: "AIDS Creeps Back in Parts of Zambia, a Year After U.S. Cuts to HIV Assistance: A once-robust HIV treatment and prevention system, credited with saving hundreds of thousands of lives, has begun to crumble..." www.nytimes.com/2026/04/25/h...

This is a good time to re-read the decision in Carroll v. Trump.

Steve Witkoff's son Zach is the CEO of World Liberty Financial. World Liberty Financial has a business partnership with the Pakistani government. \_(ツ)_/¯ www.radio.gov.pk/14-01-2026/p...

I mean, this restriction is next level harassment of the poors. Good for these senators. (Reminder: Not everyone who needs supplemental food benefits has a fully equipped kitchen.)

Quick video, very interesting.

The Trump admin has made it difficult for even the most highly skilled people in the world to work in America. The denial rate for a green card for an alien with extraordinary ability nearly doubled to 46.6% by the end of FY 2025. @mclem.org @erikbryn.bsky.social www.forbes.com/sites/stuart...

Fun fact: the guy (Hung Cao) who now leads the US Navy claimed that Monterey, California (median home price $1.2M) had been taken over taken over with witchcraft. www.montereycountynow.com/opinion/mcno...

Also, your kids go from nine to nineteen in a matter of days.

I guess it’s better to eat steak than be treated by medical specialists.

“History will see the emergency docket and MQD as twin drivers of the Roberts court’s conservative activism. That’s a surprising legacy for a chief justice who came to the court as an advocate of judicial restraint.” www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

"In an interview with CNBC in early March, Karp suggested that AI would “disrupt” the power of “highly educated, often female voters who vote mostly Democrat”,and instead empower “vocationally trained, working-class, often male, working-class voters”."

The federal officials who are trying to help these communities are @ossoff.bsky.social and @warnock.senate.gov, both Democrats. The Repub Member of Congress for the district where the planned profit-making prisons would be located is nowhere to be found.

Being a mentally disturbed sadist in ICE is a feature, not a bug?

Fascinating, terrifying piece. Karp (as seen in interviews) seems crazy in a medical sense, so to speak. Manic.

This Is Just To Say I have turned off the AI features that were in the update and which you were probably hoping to monetize Fuck you they were stupid so unnecessary and so annoying

Since you can no longer assume that the people around you are vaccinated, update your own (and your family's) vaccinations.

One thing that I'm thinking about as a ponder how Todd Blanche put someone whose wife was investigated for foreign influence peddling on this case is that before Blanche was Trump's lawyer be was Boris Epshteyn's lawyer and before he was Epshteyn's lawyer he was Paul Manafort's lawyer. 😳

🤢 What a creep he is.

One of these “His dosage needs adjustment” situations.

Oof. Quite ugly. Maybe it’s the size of the crystals. Looks like something (bad) in a lab dish.

Fascination essay. Worth your time.

Something is MORE pathetic (revolting) than a man with mixed-race children condemning “race-mixing”??

Note that this post effectively admits that Trump and his entire admin have been lying for the last 7 weeks about Iran having been close to a nuclear bomb, with Trump reverting to the position he took just weeks before the war began that Iran's nuclear material had been effectively "obliterated."

Maybe the French government can get some answers about the disgusting treatment of this 85 year old woman and, by extension, the disgusting treatment of all others in ICE prison camps.

JD Vance is lecturing the Pope on Catholicism and Pierre Poilievre is lecturing Mark Carney on economics and RFK Jr is lecturing scientists about vaccines and Donald Trump is lecturing the world on tariffs and Pete Hegseth is quoting Pulp Fiction and thinking it’s the Bible

FYI from Wikipedia: Pope Leo “earned a Doctor of Canon Law (JCD) degree in 1987 from the Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas in Rome.” In case you were wondering about his qualifications re theology as opposed to, say, JD.

13 is tough for everyone. Hang in there.

Rohypnol www.drugs.com/illicit/rohy...

It's the corruption, stupid. Orban beggared the Hungarian economy and citizens noticed.

The water manager for Social Circle, GA has padlocked the ICE warehouse water meter. The town of about 5000 is struggling with their current water and sewer capacity vs needs. There is no way the warehouse prison camp can operate, although they have talked about trucking in/out water. Ludicrous.

Essential reading: this new book investigates the nefarious workings of private equity and its harmful impact on our lives. @hettieobrien.bsky.social explains tricky financial concepts and infuriating stories - from care homes to housing to water privatisation - in an engaging style. #books 💙🖋️💡

The president is not well. Like even more so than before

"Shortly before polls closed, the electoral authorities said that more than 77 percent of registered voters had cast ballots" This is what it's going to take here, too, to get rid of MAGA.

I don't buy that the women who claim assault were all "too intoxicated." Blackouts such as they describe sound much more like the effects of rohypnol, the "date rape" drug.

Thanks for sharing, Mr. Swallwell, but you still need to resign from your Congressional seat, where more than five women have alleged that you created a dangerous, toxic workplace.
