I would like to know what is "illiberal" about not wanting a data center poisoning my neighborhood. About wanting Black Americans to be able to vote in free and fair elections and have those votes count. About Palestinian liberation. About affordable housing. Explain that **** like we're all 5.

Take a moment to appreciate my friend’s derpy goat 😎

@blueheronfarm.bsky.social - this thread should be right up your alley! ABSOLUTELY read the alt text

what the ACTUAL FUCK???

Good evening, I'm at the Montrose Center here in Houston for a vigil for Persia Amarra Conway, the transgender woman who was found dead in SW Houston. Her family is going to speak the media soon and give us an update.

That’s it - headline of the day. We’re done here!

Stephen Colbert had Paul McCartney and Bruce Springsteen during the final week of his show, trump couldn't even get Milli Vanilli!

A study finds that an mRNA vaccine is highly effective at preventing recurrence of this dangerous skin cancer, when used in combination with Keytruda, an immunotherapy drug. n.pr/4u3FHCZ

Look up ‘mensch’ in the dictionary and the definition is just this photo of Stephen Colbert

Ossoff: "While you pay more for everything, Donald Trump wants your tax dollars for what many are calling the Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Ballroom."

Ossoff: He’s trying to put his face on the money. He's building a monument to himself . But see, Atlanta, he's doing these things now because no one will honor him when he’s gone… because he's a failed president and a national disgrace.

Bill Clinton: I balanced the federal budget Barack Obama: I won a Nobel Peace Prize Joe Biden: I passed the largest long-term investment in US infrastructure since WWII Donald Trump: I can identify a camel

in an alternate universe, we're feasting on videos like this one as we prepare for the Semiquincentennial instead of reading all about second-rate musicians refusing to perform for a complete shitshow www.youtube.com/watch?v=pliw...

I was there at the unveiling of the quilt in 1987 and it remains one of the most moving experiences of my life. This was about the LGBTQ community honoring and remembering its own because their government sure as hell wasn't doing it. A time of great devastation and enormous bravery.

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

I'm old enough to remember when David Letterman had a whole bit on his late night show where he'd go up on the roof and throw shit off the edge. Pristine throwback bit! youtu.be/eBKWKu2Rqxc?...

BREAKING: we just won our Kennedy Center case! Both the renaming & the closure of the Kennedy Center are enjoined Kudos to our wonderful client @repbeatty.bsky.social & my colleagues @democracydefendersaction.org & Washington Litigation Group This is a 1-2 punch against Trump's corruption

substack.com/home/post/p-... "I want to suggest the opposite. Strongmen at the height of their game don’t need the ballroom. They don’t need to rename the Kennedy Center after themselves. They don’t need the gold leaf, the fake portraits, the rebranded monuments and memorials.

if you're not following @johnfugelsang.bsky.social on Substack, you need to remedy that situation pronto. substack.com/home/post/p-...

The Republican Party quietly deleted their own ad attacking Ken Paxton's record on crime... because Paxton is now the Republican Party's nominee to represent Texas in the U.S. Senate. Figured if the ad is important enough to delete, it's important enough to see...

Funny story: 13 is the same number of service members who died in the pullout from Afghanistan, for which Biden received brutal bipartisan media coverage for months

truly, sincerely, from the bottom of my heart: fuck ai

Our entire economy is being artificially propped up by astrology for men: AI, crypto, sports betting, and prediction markets. It's an economy shaped entirely by male insecurity and lack of impulse control, and we'll all pay the price.

One of the many sources cited in the new papal encyclical is... Gandalf

BREAKING: Pope Leo XIV makes historic apology for Holy See's own role in legitimizing slavery and for failing to condemn it for centuries.

I took a lunch break from my remote job and sat on my living couch watching the 'proceedings'. I remember at one point I texted my office mate to see if she was watching. we proceeded to watch together. so incredibly surreal

there's this gen-z YouTube creator/audio engineer with a channel devoted to him listening to classic rock artists and voicing his opinions. I have never in my life had a more 'GET OFF MY LAWN' moment. what do you mean you've never heard Fleetwood Mac in your life???

And let’s not forget the writers, producers and crew who also made the Late Show what it was and who have lost their jobs because our president is a thin-skinned thug who deeply fears the ridicule he so richly deserves.

best headline of the day: "Cybertruck driver takes vehicle into Texas lake, again" www.chron.com/texas/articl...

The path to universal child care is now six blocks shorter. Thanks to our expanded 3-K programming, families will have access to affordable programs closer to home. That means less time spent commuting and more time focused on what matters most: our children, our families, and our communities.

Okay. I’m going to be real fucking honest here. I have two adult children, neither of whom are the least bit interested in having children because (gestures absently) and neither are any of their friends. If end times are a thing, here we are. Buckle up

In an unusual flight path, jet flies into World Trade Center.

after a year and a half of retirement, I went to 'work' today. I was called in by my former CEO, and it was so good to see her! I haven't touched a windows machine since I left, so THAT was an experience 🙄. NGL, it was kind of nice to be in a workplace environment - short term, by choice.

Texas limits eligibility for Medicaid to families living below 15 percent of the poverty level, meaning that a family of three earning more than—get this—$4,098 annually is not eligible for any benefits. trib.al/xIxx6h8

I'm not sure if folks outside the state have caught this yet, but these are the people who think their best move against Jim Talarico is to imply that HE is weird.

Update: Louisiana voters tonight have rejected all five constitutional amendments that were on the ballot today; they were there with the support of the GOP legislature and Gov. Landry.

My problem with democrats refusing to say genocide and instead saying “I think what has been done to the Palestinian people has gone too far” is that it implies there’s a medium level of killing Palestinians that is reasonable.

in a nutshell ...

Happy Mother's Day!! I have some good news about Tennessee cracking Memphis black district!!

I often say that the fight for democracy is the fight of our generation. But let me be clear, if you aren’t fighting for Black voting rights right now then you aren’t really fighting for democracy.

Happy Mother’s Day to those who celebrate

Ceci n'est pas une golden calf.
