These 8 Democrats voted to pass a national ban on trans teachers and mention of LGBTQ topics. Rep Henry Cuellar (TX) Rep. Don Davis (NC) Rep. Cleo Fields (LA) Rep. Laura Gillen (NY) Rep. Vicente González (TX) Rep. Marcy Kaptur (OH) Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (WA) Rep. Eugene Vindman (VA)

Anon reviewer told us to cite more of my work:

The feds harangued Kat and my family over bullshit charges for a year. They tried to beat her down, bankrupt Kat and her codefendants through legal fees, and a defeat her spirit. They fucking lost. They will continue to lose. Fuck ICE forever. To this criminal gang of a government: stay losing.

BREAKING: VA Gov Abigail Spanberger just vetoed a bill that would ban ICE from making warrantless arrests inside of courthouses. VA Dems have the House, the Senate, and the Governorship. They have all the power and still under a Corporate Centrist Democrat, align with fascist ideology.

Sometimes when I think things are bad, that my country is run by idiots, I just need to look over at what the UK is doing.

“Look at the size of it”

"Pathetic..."

When I'm too busy and stressed to "cook" I just eat a $4 canned soup with some chips. Sometimes I toss in some scraps of extremely cheap rotisserie chicken.

it's actually true that you cannot fund good government entirely by taxing the rich, which is why slopulist proposals to gut the tax base are a bad idea but taxing the rich at punitive levels is a goal in and of itself, billionaires are simply too dangerous to public policy to exist

Can anyone point to a moment in American history where “Instead of prosecuting these people who violated the law to serve their own political ends I think they should face no consequences so we can heal our divided nation” didn’t make things worse

this is what some of you look like in short sleeve button-up shirts

and now, your moment of zen. 🎥 (https://www.instagram.com/reel/DYhEwUvv67q/)

my gf works corporate and is on a training about AI and there's a word cloud for "what do you use AI for." the largest word by far is "Nothing" and the trainer is PISSED

The normalization of far-right ideas continues as Curtis Yarvin and Lauren Southern are invited to a glitzy tech conference in Vancouver - which several Canadian politicians also attended. Full story here, no paywall: thetyee.ca/News/2026/05...

I'm begging for one article--just one--that is "Trump says Iran war is worth the economic pain. These urban voters in Harlem say `We told you he'd screw everything up, why didn't you listen to us?'" Just one. Just one "diner" interview in a place w a density above 1 per 1000 sq mi and < 95% white.

This is another huge issue with ai. I don't care if it's useful to you, can you actually afford it's true cost? We're still deep in the phase of this shit being run at a massive loss as they hope people become dependent.

I immediately block AI lib slop posters on sight now. These hand made photos area vastly better.

I saw this on Facebook (there was no creator credit) so now you have to as well. It hurtsses us.

guy who is mad at Nolan’s Odyssey because it depicts the sea as blue instead of wine-dark

1) "without help from their parents" is not even true for the guy the article is about 2) the numbers are taken from a study by the national association of Realtors, which does not even include this data 3) once you do find the data, the massive, national news-worthy difference is 2%.

Jesus Christ this is the most chilling thing I've read in ages. The "new understanding of truth" described here is not new in any way, it is basically a return to pre-literate dark ages & the inevitable result is going to be fascism.

Caught in a barb wire fence, twisted sideways, pants ripped down to my ankles. Outsmarted again by gophers. Suddenly, I see dust billowing up from the horizon. It’s a convoy of rental cars! Hundreds of national reporters are on their way to ask me about gas prices and woke

Step 1: find a trans person of the opposite gender. Step 2: both go to the Texas detransition clinic and ask for hormones of your assigned sex at birth to undo the damage of gender ideology. Step 3: swap your free hormones with your trans homie. Step 4: transition.

a lot of people have moved on from the fact that Russia has been waging a war of ethnic cleansing against Ukrainian civilians for almost half a decade at this point

Update: the BBC is a transphobic propaganda rag which identifies as news media.

fuckin crazy story. some Ukrainian kid probably saved his whole family from being killed by a Russian drone murder squad by spotting and cutting the fiber optic connection www.washingtonpost.com/world/2026/0...

compare and contrast: when IDF soldiers were caught on tape raping a Palestinian captive at Sde Teiman prison and prosecuted, Israeli civilians rioted outside the court and all charges were eventually dropped

"we're willing to trade kidnapped children for POWs" is a completely insane admission of guilt

From @karthiktadepalli.bsky.social

So often politicians act like they're taking on big bad evil "big insurance" but in reality its almost always a wealth transfer from poorer people living in prudent locations to wealthy people who insist on living in known high-risk areas like wildfire zones or rapidly erroding waterfronts.

I am willing to be proven wrong in my Luddite ways but it seems like at this point we should have seen a short film or song or book made by AI that’s genuinely good, it feels like I’ve heard people squawking that within six months it’s coming for at least two years

NYT is such a fucking rag

Louder for the “left” NIMBYs in the back “This shift is driven by a surge in supply. More inventory is still on the way, with peak units expected to deliver by the end of (the second quarter).”

we need a new kind of castle doctrine for streamers, so normal people are allowed to open fire when a guy like this tries to fuck with them in public for his audience

These "requirements to build affordable housing" are a demand that home builders rent or sell a percentage of brand new homes at a loss. This is a tax on new housing that has worsened the housing shortage and increased rents in every city where it was implemented. Policymakers should reject them.

frankly I have come to believe techies are illiterate. science fiction isn't about the future, stupid. it's about the current political situation but set in space so no one gets mad. duh!

#OtD 13 May 1985 Philadelphia police attacked the home of Black liberation and environmental group MOVE, then dropped a bomb on it, killing 5 adults and 6 children, destroying 61 homes in the predominantly Black neighbourhood, and making 250 people homeless.

Google, Microsoft, and Meta brag about how most of their code is AI-generated now. The developers generating that code say it sucks and that it's making the stupid www.404media.co/software-dev...

<grabs the mic> Right wingers loved that they could blame declining test scores on the "closing the schools during pandemic" culture war to cover for their targeted decades long campaign to defund public schools and the media took the ball and ran with it and lots of Ds followed along

I wrote about the campaign to criminalize “organized retail theft” in this piece. It’s the only time I’ve written something where I felt like I was going crazy. Theft is already a crime! But retailers lied about the stats, the law, and the causes—they claim that MS-13 and Hezbollah are behind it.

So, Timothy Chalamet, if no one cares about ballet anymore, why is *every* channel on my TV showing Swan Lake right now?

I would love it if we had a major political party that is against defunding the public sector.

I really can’t state strongly enough how utterly stupid this is. Once you eliminate taxes for a class you will never be able to bring them back. And it WILL domino. Eliminating taxes and privatizing everything is the republicans’ end goal. Do not help them!!!

What people don't get is the fact that a retired person with the resources to rage against their city council person has WAY more local power than a big Chicago developer. The real dichotomy is "people who already own homes here" vs "people who rent or want to own"

“For the good of society, your son will work in the trades. Oh, my son? My son will be a titan of politics and industry. For the good of society, your daughter will be a tradwife. Oh, my daughter? My daughter will host a lucrative rightwing podcast.”

Small historical side note: the first folks in the US lobbying for an embargo were Chinese-Americans! And it worked! Not only that, but it might very well have been the teensy-tiny domino that set in motion the defeat of fascism in the 20th century. Never let anyone tell you activism is pointless.
