The best cosmic justice available in the US is that none of these guys can be eulogized for their accomplishments (which are abhorrent to everyone watching) so you just get their idiot friends going “he was REALLY IMPORTANT. I don’t know what he did but he was THE BEST at it, whatever it was.”

If ICE can simply execute anyone at any time, none of us have any basic rights.

i drew again for the first time in months today but i cannot post it bc i cant use my vpn on my phone and i refuse to give my ssn numbers just to verify im an adult so yall are just gonna have to trust me on it

also my mom texted me at 5 am to tell me a certain senator died with caption "wonderful news" lmao

I did not know this & I have a new life ambition

oh they already are, the EU invested over a billion in their own internet satellites last year and France is switching to their own Linux distro on government PCs

www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFn1... very thorough, nuanced version of my general feelings about how Greece is handled in modern (historical sense) western culture and it is nice to hear it from someone else of Eastern Mediterranean ancestry but actually culturally connected to it

The son of the man shot and killed by ICE: I am Ronaldo Salgado, the oldest son of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. He should've been picking up the last of his guys before heading to finish up construction. Unbeknownst to all of us, my dad had been shot inside his van by ICE agents in unmarked cars.

elderly council of wizards mandates child gential inspections.

Picking the right door as a young Black person can be a matter of life or death. A lower-stakes example: I tell people who are nervous about canvassing their neighborhood to start with the people who have signs indicating similar values. Gestures matter if they help us find each other.

live view from the great american state fair

The clear & obvious text of the Constitution wins by the slimmest possible margin at the 'court' that claims to be its most solemn guardian. This means the fascist movement currently in control of the US federal government is just one (1) vote shy of what it needs to fully suspend the Constitution.

Running for president, or really any federal office, without a plan to deal with this out of control institution is pointless. You might as well play pretend

can’t tell yall enough what a breakthrough it was for me to learn from this interview that most people just want to feel like they’re being obeyed they rarely follow up on whether you actually obey them

“These packets of zines are a fundraiser for the Prairieland Defendants! Each packet comes with letter writing materials & 15 zines that were used as evidence in the Texas trial touted by the federal government as the first case against ‘antifa’.” all of these zines can be found online for free

Some amazing quotes in this article about how Ford replaced hundreds of engineers with AI, which broke a bunch of shit causing billions in damage and forcing them to rehire those people. www.the-independent.com/tech/ford-ai...

helpful coverage from @elpais.com english.elpais.com/usa/2025-08-...

The news coming out of Venezuela is fucking horrifying. Over five hundred confirmed dead, with fifty thousand missing. I sent some money to WCK and Direct Relief since those were the orgs with concrete response plans yesterday.

My not-so-hot take is that what Mamdani is doing *IS* incrementalism, and the bar is so deeply in hell that a politician just doing *anything* good consistently is a total anomaly for people. And I think for now that is good and fine, because it is restoring people’s faith that better is possible.

what’s happening tonight in NY is how we win the infrastructure is there, you don’t have to build it from scratch, it’s called the Democratic Party you just need to go and wrest the controls from the people who aren’t serious about doing what needs to be done, and as tonight shows, that’s doable

One of the most accurate tweets ever made about any human ever

i love that vance is like if you flipped the polarity on the most obnoxiously woke millennial imaginable

Oliver is so good at this. Absolutely devastating account of how Rufo and DeSantis destroyed a college and fucked up its students’ education. youtu.be/jFMc07F1UUU?...

my least favorite thing about Austin is you get days where it is cloudy all day, absolutely horrible for my constant need for sunlight or i fall asleep. i really miss that in Florida it is usually super sunny or intensely stormy (sometimes both!) none of this British doldrum shit

the majority flipped in favor of interracial marriage within my lifetime (i was born in 1995)

3 other Dem lawmakers in NC who voted for the GOP's anti-trans legislation were beaten by 20+% yesterday, too. Centrist DINOs ate shit last night in NC.

How to win in November

If you or I had deliberately murdered hundreds of thousands of people and recklessly endangered millions more, I would reckon we’d be facing some pretty serious charges.

Not sure what impact I'm supposed to have on national politics when I couldn't even convince my friends to leave Twitter.

the one thing these people cannot countenance is being Accurately Described. all of this is happening because the internet provided a means for people to Accurately Describe them to their faces. and they lost their fucking minds

Deb Haaland has won the New Mexico Democratic Governor primary. If elected, she will make history as the nation's first Native American governor.

Got my student loan bill lol (it had been temporarily suspended and that got lifted) right before midterms

If you want a picture of the future, it's the government forcing you to listen to Kid Rock and Lee Greenwood. Forever.

Really enjoyed going on the I've Had It Podcast to talk about the psychosexual panic known as the Make America Great Again movement, and talk about why you've just gotta make fun of these people. www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1qr...

Study: “rewilding” with large mammals increases insect diversity, especially that of Orthoptera (crickets, grasshoppers) and Hymenoptera (bees, wasps).

My relationship with Big wasn’t the only thing I blew up that day. At the Trinity test site I detonated the first plutonium bomb, unleashing a 22 kiloton blast. Had I become Death, destroyer of worlds? Meanwhile uptown, Samantha had her hands full with her own “Manhattan project”

@stokori.art www-22worldmagic.myshopify.com/products/air... saw this ad on insta and thought of you omg

Mean But Highly Accurate Austin in 2026 Map

Maybe I should have helped attack the capitol so I can afford groceries.

The message shouldn't be "taxes are bad," it should be that you should get something for them, it's your money, it shouldn't be going to some rich dipshit's Dr. Claw-ass ballroom or into the pockets of J6 child molesters

Can someone explain this to me, because I really don’t understand: why do the rest of us have to follow the law

Billionaires must be targeted with tax policy and antitrust policy not because it helps everyone else (though it does) but because their political power must be limited so they can't wreck the world the way they're currently doing

BREAKING: Harry Dunn and Daniel Hodges, two law enforcement officers who clashed with Jan. 6 insurrectionists, have sued to block the Trump 'slush fund'. They're asking a federal judge to find the creation of the fund illegal and reverse any transfers that Treasury has made to DOJ to implement it.

not an absolute hater but the problem i have with AI is you can basically make an LLM say anything. but it's always going to be definitionally a lie. sure you can hire a liar off the streets but sometimes you hire a solid, moral person. these guys will always be lower than worms

The Vatican released a historic report today criticizing conversion therapy and featuring gay Catholic testimony. It proposes a new methodology for addressing controversial issues, calling for listening and relationships. Read my report: religionnews.com/2026/05/05/v...

funniest thing i’ve ever seen

I have said this before and I will say it again, but it is my firm belief that given the blatant and naked corruption exhibited by some members of the Roberts Court, decisions of the Roberts Court should not be treated as precedentially binding on later courts.
