Mikie Sherrill’s state police destroyed the mutual aid tent for families of the detained that had been in operation at Delaney Hall for more than a year, providing clothes, food, even stuffies for the kids. They just trashed it. I’m pretty speechless at the kind of person you have to be to do this

This Pride Month let’s resolve to keep defending the civil rights and liberties of our LGBTQIA+ neighbors and of all Americans against authoritarian clampdown.

Happy Pride and keep pride in democracy.

someone ask Meta's AI chatbot to release the Epstein Files

This is absolutely nuts: hackers are hijacking high-profile Instagram accounts by simply asking Meta's AI chatbot to change the email on the account. Meta's AI does it, hacker gets password reset code, they're in. A staggering security issue www.404media.co/hackers-simp...

A critical read...

so, this is deeply, deeply horrifying thedreydossier.substack.com/p/i-found-a-...

Now we’re going to give Iran $300 BILLION? Hell, at this point, if they hold out another week or so, we might give them an even trillion.

It’s absolutely crazy they can void an election with no consequences.

Trump Family's Top Corruption (so far): $1.8 billion slush fund from US / $1.0 billion from US to outfit $400 million plane from Qatar / $500 from UAE for US AI chips / pardons for between $500k to $75 million / $1.5 million per ticket to fight @ White House / $620 million from US to Jr.'s co. ...

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...

The problem is that “I am often scared and angry about social change” does not inherently lend itself to interesting art. You can be as technically skilled as the greats, but art with nothing interesting to say is just a commodity.

A reminder that bribe for hire Pam Bondi isn’t the only one involved in the criminal cover up of the Epstein Files, Todd Blanche is very much guilty too considering it was him who sent Ghislaine Maxwell to a lower security prison. Both belong in prison.

Under Pam Bondi, survivors’ names were unredacted. One survivor’s name was mentioned over 500 times. Epstein’s co-conspirators? Redacted. These weren’t “errors.” They were choices. Choices that protected the powerful and put survivors in danger.

If you get a payout from Trump’s January 6 slush fund, California will tax it at 100%. California won’t bail out Trump’s thugs.

Republican majorities spent years investigating recent Democratic administrations for far less. Trump and his family engage every day in some of the most blatant acts of corruption we’ve ever seen, often with taxpayer money, and Republicans in Congress are nowhere to be found.

Trump is stealing your entry fees to national parks.

Your periodic reminder that cretinous Trump sycophant Rep. Andy Ogles, whose district Republicans just further gerrymandered to protect, raised $25K from a Go Fund Me to create a cemetery and park for stillborn babies and their families. He took the money and never built the park.

Authoritarians naively think that when you erase reports of insurrection and sedition from a government website, it means that those constitutional crimes never happened. Smart people know that the Internet is forever. #January6th #WeWillNotForget #TrumpDidThis

zohran mamdani announced a plan to seize properties from bad landlords and private equity if tenents suffer from neglect and i genuinely do not think i’ve seen rightwing circles this mad in reaction to anything i’ve ever seen before lol

And the most pathetic and disgusting part is that they would.

“.. four months after its establishment, the board’s financial fund set up by the World Bank has received no money from donors, according to four people familiar with the matter. ‘Zero dollars have been deposited,’ one said.” @financialtimes.com www.ft.com/content/5ba3...

The hijab debate reminds us that some nations force women to wear hijab. Other nations force women to remove hijab. In every single case the issue isn’t the hijab or women—but insecure men who force their views upon women. There’s no hijab debate. There’s just weak men who won’t stay in their lane.

I saw chaos inside and outside of the ICE detention center Delaney Hall today. Detainees protesting the lack of due process, the disgusting food and poor treatment while their families and advocates stood outside calling for help. 1/4

they’re shooting crowd control munitions at crowds that include multiple members of congress, the governor, and a sitting united states senator. they fired pepper balls at the senator. they cannot and will not be reigned in by democracy, whatever’s left of it.

The moment of one of today’s Russian strikes on #Kyiv. I can see that fewer and fewer people are reading news from Ukraine. I understand that on a Sunday morning, people don’t want to read about war. They want to sleep a little longer, drink good coffee, and sit in the sun. I understand that.

Can’t wait to watch all the people who criticized the JCPOA and excoriated Obama for “pallets of cash” try to sanewash Trump giving Iran even more cash for a worse deal than the JCPOA.

Stephen Colbert ended his final episode of The Late Show while singing "Hello, Goodbye" with Paul McCartney on the Ed Sullivan stage that made The Beatles mega stars.

Fun fact: North Carolina still hasn’t recovered from hurricane Helene, and Trump wants $2 billion to give people who smeared shit on the walls of the Capitol.

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.

A judge just confirmed what we have known all along: Trump weaponized the Justice Department to go after Kilmar Abrego Garcia. The regime tried defying the Supreme Court to keep him in a Salvadoran torture prison, but Kilmar is back home in Maryland — where he belongs.

By “lifted off” he means “kicked off”

🔥 SPRINGSTEEN: "I’m here to support Stephen Colbert, the first guy who lost his show because a president can't take a joke - and the Ellisons feel they need to kiss his ass… small-minded people with no idea what freedoms of this beautiful country are supposed to be about." 🇺🇸

LET THIS SINK IN—the U.S. now has no confirmed CDC director, no FDA commissioner, no Surgeon General, an NIH director with no medical license, and the last Acting CDC Director was a George Bush speechwriter. In fact—the only doctor/scientist we have in the White House is… Dr Oz.

Whether it is this or the ballroom, I view these images and think about the fact that minimum wage is STILL $7.25; unchanged for the past 17 years.

In 2017, Criselda Vasquez painted this portrait of her parents and titled it "The New American Gothic." Last month, her father, the man in this portrait, was abducted by ICE after being in the US for 30+ years. The family is now struggling with bills. A GoFundMe has been started: gofund.me/456d8a193

SIGN OF THE DAY…

1. Number of stories about Trump buying and selling hundreds of millions of dollars in stocks in the first three months of 2026: CBS: 0 CNN: 0 Fox News: 0 NPR: 0 PBS: 0 Politico: 0 Semafor: 0 Business Insider: 0

The shame of what our government has done will endure and must be taught for generations to come.

Yet more proof that wealth does not equate intelligence. What a load of uneducated bullshit. How does he even say this with a straight face?

Are we going to collectively overlook that the Epstein files have not been released in their entirety? Or are we going to let the continued distractions work to keep our attention elsewhere? A reminder that this global pedophile ring did not end with Epstein's death...

NEW: Epstein survivor Annie Farmer about Todd Blanche testimony about wanting to hear from Epstein survivors: "Blanche’s suggestion that survivors reach out to the Dept of Justice to re-report the crimes committed against them is beyond insulting. Many of us have already done that, repeatedly"

BREAKING: The Trump Justice Department has expanded the just-announced settlement of Trump's IRS lawsuit to include a pledge that the IRS will no longer pursue *any* claims it may have against Trump, his family members, and his companies over unpaid taxes.

Just unbelievable corruption. He said he would drain the swamp, instead he brought in the swampiest administration in history, declared himself Supreme Emperor of Swampopia, and ordered his justice department to essentially give his entirely family immunity.

Donald Trump is essentially giving a stimulus check to people who broke the law on January 6th — not paid for by him, but instead. paid for by you! Essentially our tax dollars going to a bunch of racist assholes who smeared shit on the Capitol’s walls. Gotta be proud, huh?!

BREAKING: The judge in the $1.7B slush fund suit has dismissed the case, but she says THERE IS NO SETTLEMENT OF RECORD. As I said earlier, the media must stop reporting that this slush fund is a settlement. It's just plain THEFT. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

So you CAN get reparations you just have to be a reactionary white person who tries to overthrow the government because black votes shouldn’t count

I say without hyperbole that this is the most brazenly corrupt action in US Presidential history. That it does not immediately lead to impeachment is a dangerous sign of how far the rule of law has declined.

Xi: America is declining as a world power Trump: HE MEANT UNDER SLEEPY JOE!! No, you assclown - he meant because you’re intentionally isolating the US on the world stage and GIVING our influence away.

Insurrectionists are going to get paid for being punished for trying to overthrow the government. Meanwhile black Americans whose ancestors were enslaved aren't entitled to reparations, and also having their representation taken away by this SCOTUS. Racism in America hasn't ended. It has evolved.
