We are apparently supposed to believe that Mayor Mamdani's decision to skip the Israel Parade today is a gross insult to American Jews, but the decision to host Diaspora Minister Amichai Chikli, who says Reform Jews are not real Jews, is not an insult to American Jews.

Amazing that Zohran Mamdani did not want to join a parade with Bezalel Smotrich, soon to be wanted by the ICC for crimes against humanity. www.haaretz.com/us-news/2026...

It’s easier to blame private prisons and their corporations for cruelty and violence because facing just how much jails/policing/prisons serve as “public” profit centers might make people question who the government is for.

Not only is this $300B of our money to reopen a shipping lane that was already wide open for free but the entire SNAP budget is $100B/year and I was told we couldn’t afford to feed American children fruits and vegetables

I can’t believe we’re sleepwalking into this shit.

“Abhorrent medical and mental health care, including for people with chronic conditions like cancer and HIV, indiscriminate use of solitary confinement to punish and silence...other flagrant constitutional violations, including exposure to measles, tuberculosis, and other diseases"

This is the message. Any Democrat willing to sacrifice trans folks—especially kids—will sacrifice anything.

I keep coming back to this, and aside from the general ignorance about the multi-crises impacting academia globally right now (including global fascism and tech tyrants seeking to control/decimate academia) there is also a marked ignorance about the costs (in all the ways) of mobility.

This is like the 18 millionth time the Trump admin has made clear they don't give a shit about how normal people are doing. Dems should be constantly highlighting this stuff with ads. No need to present any alternative policy messaging—just pure negative reinforcement of how awful Republicans are.

It's very funny that this long, long piece about how women should be "hetero-optimistic" about men never actually makes the case for men. Instead, it says "yes, some men are incels, but" and then just lays out the incel case against women as if it was true. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/31/o...

Part 2 of the corporate Lego theft saga is now on YouTube for free and this is where it goes beyond insane into ‘Utah judge approves warrant for a SWAT raid over Legos’ youtu.be/cxZPfj8AlmY?...

Be warned this is an hour-long video but seriously these people are fucking evil.

You can’t meet fascists in the middle.

Yes. He's saying income isn't keeping up with inflation because they're making sure people are receiving less income.

The first ever trillionaire will become a trillionaire by using political power to bend the rules of financial markets to force everybody’s retirement accounts to invest in his company

This answer alone should destroy this administration. This conversation is essentially: “people are hurting.” “ceos are fine.”

DFL: moment of silence for the Hortmans GOP: moment of silence for Chauvin

I find it totally bizarre that no twin cities outlets even mentioned this in passing. People were fired from jobs for criticizing Charlie Kirk, but praising a convicted murderer isn’t a scandal?

Pence: "This talk of a weaponization fund, the idea of creating a fund that could compensate people that assaulted police officers and vandalized the Capitol that day is totally unacceptable. My hope is the administration will drop it. Drop the idea entirely."

The slow disappearance of public amenities in general -- benches, toilets, etc -- has made a lot of public spaces relentlessly and intentionally hostile

Really sucks how so many headlines now are just eugenics Mad Libs.

state troopers with riot gear and horses are just smol beans

This guy was interviewed for a magazine in 1864 and had served as a page boy under George Washington’s command in the War for Independence www.americanrevolution.org/alexander-mi...

"The mainstream right is crawling into the sewer of neo-Nazi ideology but you probably wouldn't know it unless you were a right-wing extremist yourself."

Lawmakers said ProPublica’s findings showed a need for more restrictions on officers’ use of chemical munitions. “We cannot allow another child to be tear-gassed by federal law enforcement officers,” one senator said.

Burgum used to be a "normal" figure, w successful tech-biz career. When he was running for prez in 2024 primaries, against DJT, he told Meet the Press that he "wouldn't do business" w Trump, because "you're judged by the company you keep." www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRJU... Indeed you are.

Not an original thought, but the far right's use of gender is a subcategory of enforcing conformity in order to subordinate the individual to the movement/state. It's not only twisted and unhealthy on a personal level but fascistic on a socio-political level.

The Coolidge coin is actually quite a rare collectible precisely because the public didn't like it and the Treasury eventually melted most of them down. As a result, the rule against living persons on coins was instituted soon thereafter.

we don't have a masculinity crisis. we have a patriarchy crisis. patriarchy creates and sustains male unhappiness with its dogmatic, toxic, rigid definition of masculinity which says the worst and most undesirable thing a human can be is female which is how we get insults like "Low-T Talarico"

Stephen Miller’s pathological hatred of immigrants has made stupidity and cruelty official policy across every department of the federal government. “Only American citizens and green card holders can be airport janitors” is ridiculous. This man legally worked there for almost 30 years!

As horrifying as this campaign of premeditated murder is, what might be even more disturbing is the utter indifference of Congress, the public and our allies to such a shocking and unapologetic obliteration of the many laws and norms against targeting civilians. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/31/w...

A rare treat: Meat Puppets at Knockdown Center in Queens tonight. #NYC 🔥

The most strategic fumble I’ve witnessed among dem leaders is letting their cops beat up their constituents. And it’s been going on for years and weakening us all. It leaves people with few options but to lose faith in the entire system. And faith is all you got because there isn’t very much proof

While reporting on a large police presence breaking up a protest outside Delaney Hall ICE facility in New Jersey, Ali Velshi is escorted away by police.

Indispensable scientific breakthroughs that grow numerous medical fields and assist in the diagnosis and treatment of disease that we’ll wait decades longer to achieve because Republicans can’t grasp the concept of society. 🧵

We all know exactly who he means & the fact that this doesn’t immediately end his presidency is a total failure of the constitutional order.

Second night of Jersey cops attacking protesters who are there supporting hunger strikers inside a sadistic immigrant jail

Trump’s behavior on social media today is so unhinged even by his standards that I can’t help but wonder what the doctors really told him the other day. This is a deeply unwell person.

This attack raises an interesting international law issue: In the view of the USG, a use of force against a foreign-flagged vessel is a use of force against that flag state. (USG position during the 1987-88 Tanker War.) In other words, the U.S. just attacked Gambia.

The U.S. has officially killed more than 200 people in Latin American waters since Sept. 2, with next to no evidence presented to the public to justify the strikes.

You might’ve sounded like a loon if you said eight months ago that the ballroom would be his I’m-never-leaving-power bunker. You sound totally sober saying so now.

“You know what? We’re all citizens of the United States. That does not mean we have to align ourselves with those motherfucking dipshits. None of them!” 🥳

Trump posts an image of his “drone port” on top of the White House, which raises the question of who they’re planning to drone in and around DC

Walsh is also engaging with readers in the comments, with thoughtful and incisive responses. We can dump on the Times all we want, but very few news organizations have the will to do this kind of reporting

“An angry crowd gathered outside the hospital. “‘Killers!’ people shouted at us when we arrived, confusing us for foreign aid workers.” For NYT journalists Declan Walsh and Arlette Bashizi, the risks in reporting this Ebola story were not just biological. 🎁 link ⤵️ www.nytimes.com/2026/05/30/w...

Buried in the House's version of the 2027 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) released on Tuesday, is section 224, entitled “United States-Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative.”

Of $2.5 billion of fire relief funds, $0 went to fire victims. $75 million went to the military. $14 million went to pay cops to tear gas civilians who were protesting against ICE. www.nbclosangeles.com/investigatio...
