They wanted to pass this evil budget to take away healthcare from millions earlier today. It’s still stuck in the rules committee cause House Dems introduced over 500 amendments and we are lined up to debate on them. Delaying is important. Keep up the pressure on these Congressional Republicans.

So NYT confirmed what I’ve been reporting out since 730pm last night — including the Brittney Griner connection — but did not cite me, a fellow journalist. Exactly as you predicted, @jsweetli.bsky.social!

also russ vought created the “center for renewing america,” part of which includes paying that irredeemable dork wokal_distance on x the everything app americarenewing.com/staff/

I have some suspicions on *which* specific patients this was most likely to happen to...

wake up y'all, new overtly misogynistic nickname just dropped. move out of the way "barbie bubble" and "meangirl communists" we're "magazine clone conformists" now

Great news! I'm told a few moments ago US Institute of Peace Board Chair Amb. George Moose went to the USIP building where he and legal counsel were able to retake possession after the recent court decision. They were accompanied by a small team securing the building and assessing maintenance needs.

Ms.Rachel is showing more humanity than our politicians

The Yale University freshman has seemingly committed herself to the most important work a nepo baby could do: trying to radicalize her parents. www.jezebel.com/violet-affle...

Casar: What we discovered last night, which is really breaking news, is that they’re not just robbing Medicaid—it turns out they’re also planning to rob Medicare of nearly half a billion dollars if they pass this bill.

it’s neat that murder is okay when it lines a CEO’s already filled pockets it’s neat that literally thousands of murders are okay when they serve capitalism, but we’ll have a media circus and pursue the death penalty for one murder committed in retaliation to literally thousands of murders

Librarian here. Got an email from a patron about our "poor selection" of books on AI, w/ list of new books that we HAD to get so ppl could stay informed about this important subject. Title, author, synopsis. Of 11 titles on the list, 10 Did Not Exist. At all. "Yeah, I got it from Ch*tGPT, why?"

Nowadays, I've accounted for this and I carry enough things in my purse that obviously nobody should be confronting me in any bathroom. Cassie shouldn't be confronting me. Strangers shouldn't be confronting me. What's so scary big man :D @cassieloux.bsky.social

Hi Cassie, the last time I used a men's restroom was in 2011. A stranger confronted me, asked if I was a woman, then tried to rob me. Since then I've used women's bathrooms, no one has confronted me, asked if I'm a woman, or tried to rob me. So, did I confront you or try to rob you in a bathroom?

Israeli Officials Explain Balancing Act Between Overt Genocide And Maintaining Western Support They have opted for their slow-motion strangulation approach because that's what's necessary to maintain essential western support and avoid war crimes tribunals. www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/israeli-of...

I spoke up when they came for Mayor Baraka and I'll sure as hell speak up now that they're coming for @replamonica.bsky.social. This is gross overreach by the administration and Americans everywhere must speak up against it. www.cnn.com/2025/05/19/p...

Also I think it’s very important to stress that the internet does not have to be like this. Social media does not have to be like this. It was better less than ten years ago!

Of course 404 has it figured out while the Sun-Times is firing off its “we’re getting to the bottom of this” statement

The level of surveillance and policing demanded by transphobia will always be more disruptive to your life than the rights and demands of trans people ourselves

"Totalitarianism in power invariably replaces all first-rate talents, regardless of their sympathies, with those crackpots and fools whose lack of intelligence and creativity is still the best guarantee of their loyalty." -Hannah Arendt

Columbia University Acting President Claire Shipman welcomed to Columbia College's graduation ceremony with sustained jeers and boos. Minutes later, students break out in loud chants of "Free Mahmoud":

A Congress with any self-respect would impeach and remove her just for this

People who are still shouting that Israel is not committing genocide must be clapping their hands over their ears every time an Israeli minister steps onto a podium because

This is exactly what I mean when I say that it is impossible to reduce friction, only to move it around. The text-making-up machine dropped the friction of "research" to zero, but every single person downstream of that "research" who has to act upon it now shoulders a double workload.

Got followed for about 2 blocks. They were saying something but my headphones were on. I finally pulled out my phone to record and as soon as i did the cop driving the car blew me a kiss and drove off. Only to drive past me 6 more times on my walk. Fuck cops. Fuck cpd. Fuck these pieces of shit.

🧵 As you may have heard, RFK/HHS have changed the name, but not walked back their Autism registry/database, and have confirmed they will be integrating information from Medicare/aid, medical records, and wearables. Here is a template for requesting that medical providers don't provide that info:

this may come as a surprise to some of you, but some skeets contain a fictitious scenario of which the author conceived in order to convey a humorous idea

I mean, there are obvious example of this totally tracking..

Makes sense. Not much can get in the way of all the unearned benefits white males receive automatically, simply by virtue of their race and gender.

Folks, The man grew up in Pinochet's Chile. Not to sound dismissive of academic experience, but there are few people on the planet better qualified (but many equally so) to talk about life in an authoritarian regime and how to overcome it.

Another good one. Welcome, gingers 🔥

Don’t worry, the site won’t even have a mark

There’s a TikTok “debate” going around regarding who’d win a battle between 100 Americans and 100 British people OMGG you guysss ☠️💀✊🏽🇺🇸

At least two dozen dead so far—the tornado warning system was delayed because of DOGE cuts.

As a race/racism expert, I’d be remiss if I failed to point out how this “Gingers are Black” movement really highlights the absurdity of the social construct of “race” -literally invented by ppl who designated themselves “white” to give poor white ppl something to hold over their poor Black peers.

If enough Black people get onboard, treating a tiny minority of white people [here, redheads] with our favor, it’s literally a powerful enough social force to change these people’s lives.. Love this 🔥🔥

The evidence is everywhere 😂☺️😩🔥🔥 welcome, gingers!!

i found this subreddit and i can't stop laughing

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government. No one has heard from you in 64 days. As vigil, I’m posting a photo of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

that’s it i think he should drop out

ok but imagine Jackie Chan fighting all the members of the polycule in and around this thing

😳

Possibly the most incredible gift I’ve gotten in years: Went to my high school reunion tonight and the school librarian—my high school classmate—was decommissioning books and saw I was the FIRST person to borrow this copy of CS Lewis’s THE LAST BATTLE. She saved it for me and gave it to me tonight.

BREAKING: statement from health and human services secretary RFK jr “i’m going to swim in every sewer in this great nation”

your regular reminder that buying Harry Potter stuff gives money to Rowling and she uses that money directly and in large quantities to fund attacks on trans people no ethical consumption under capitalism and all but “don’t buy Potter stuff” is an extremely easy baseline to follow
