Now that it's swimming pool season, it's wild to think about how many cities used to have public municipal swimming pools, but then after the Civil Rights Act was passed, cities just started closing them. Now they're mostly private and membership only. Or you're rich enough for a backyard pool

Fox personalities are showing their support for a threat from the administration that would throw international flights into chaos around the World Cup.

At the end of the day, Trump protecting his own looting of the government is more important that rewarding his supporters looting

☢️☢️☢️

Shouldn't knowing the law be a requirement to be Attorney General?

BREAKING: Blanche testifies that the Trump tax blanket immunity order portion of the slush fund “settlement” is NOT rescinded. Judge Williams, who has reopened the case, has said there IS NOT A SETTLEMENT. I imagine her probe into whether there was a fraud on the court will continue.

Burn it all down

"Developers" are looking to continue to expand data centers, enrich utility executives, and undermine our renewable energy goals for the sake of growing an already bloated surveillance apparatus.

Love that some red Texans are fired up to vote against any suggesting more data centers for the state! Go Talarico! #USDemocracy

That deal with Iran is coming any day now, right Trump?

Luxury Boomer Communism

of the US Senate and have the power to appoint a Nazi to the SCOTUS over the next two years. And if you don’t think Trump won’t nominate a Nazi you aren’t paying attention. This is literally the easiest choice in the world despite how repulsive it may feel to cast a vote for Planter.

Your choice in the Maine Senate race is a guy with a Nazi tattoo and numerous personal flaws but if elected would help take control of the US Senate away from the fascists currently controlling the most powerful political body in the world. Or a known fascist who would ensure fascists regain control

If you want to live in a false reality because it gives you comfort and hope I have no problem with that. These are extremely difficult times and I can appreciate the need to soften some of the blows. But Planter’s opponents are polling below 5%. He’s the nominee. That’s what’s happening.

Holy crap. The ways in which this is bad is very very many.

“This particular report reflects a very dangerous attempt to characterize that protected First Amendment activity — activity which is fundamental to our democracy — as something other, something more dangerous, a breeding ground for something more sinister” said civil rights lawyer Paul Hetznecker

This is what Citizens United created: 8 of the 12 biggest outside spenders in House primaries this election cycle are AI, crypto, and AIPAC. Not voters. Not constituents. Corporations and billionaires picking your Congress. Reverse Citizens United.

And 35 years later, Milli Vanilli achieved greatness by promising not to sing

You just voted two weeks ago to ban any mention of LGBTQ people from federally funded schools and to forcibly out trans kids. Don't you dare come here and say happy pride.

Releasing Tina Peters is wrong. Hours after being released, she’s lying again about our elections. Trying to appease Trump sends the wrong message. You respond to a bully with strength & fight.

And here I thought it was the new health care plan is coming soon. Good to be corrected.

😂😂😂

Republicans HATE freedom and now they’re paying for violating people’s free speech.

At last year's Mariners Pride game, I sat next to a 50-year-old gay man who moved to Seattle 3 years prior from Arkansas. He is a *HUGE* sports fan, but because he had to hide for most of his life, he was still super hesitant to attend a sporting event, even in a supportive place like Seattle. (1/2)

california is gonna have so many mail in ballots that don’t get counted because people don’t know the new USPS rules that are impacting mail in voting. tl;dr don’t put your ballot in the mail today, find a ballot drop box. www.kqed.org/news/1208537...

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

BREAKING: we are NOT accepting media reports as proof that the $1.8B slush fund & "settlements" associated with it are dead That's why we @democracydefendersfund.org have just filed a new lawsuit to make sure this ENDS --on behalf of former J6 prosecutors with Platkin LLP, WLG & Heaphy Smith

“If a Nazi is sitting at the table, and ten others are sitting there chatting with him, you have eleven Nazis at the table.” —German proverb since World War II This is for all you people debating to vote for Collins over Planter cause he *might* be a Nazi. Collins is hosting the fucking pot luck

No mention that ALL the Dems opposed this and helped create the environment where Republicans had to oppose the fund. Nope, it’s just the GOP to the rescue when good and when it’s bad it’s a bunch of handwashing and treating Republicans like they have no agency. Legacy media is broken

Happy Pride 🌈

another day, another story about the administration's war on knowledge itself, all in service of allow its corporate patrons free rein to rob us blind and poison our world www.nytimes.com/2026/06/01/c...

In other words Republicans are devoid of ethics and morals and will do anything to maintain their own power at the expense of the Americans they pretend to serve. There are no good Republicans.

You’re fucking repulsive @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social This man promoted & encouraged a mob to raid the US Capitol. People who would’ve gladly murdered you in the Senate chamber. And here you are yucking it up with him over a basketball game on a site owned & operated by a Nazi. Wake the fuck up

Folks, we got US Senators normalizing fascists on a site owned by and filled with Nazis. We are not winning. You’re fucking delusional of you think we are.

There are no good Republicans. Stop treating them like they’re actually normal. They’re vile and weird.

Guy who spends his days cheerleading fascist oppression: "It's actually rude to point out I'm a piece of shit."

Billionaires shouldn't exist.

Musk bought the 2024 election. Trump knows it. The oligarchs running our stock market know it. That’s why the market is about to reward him with a SpaceX IPO, the greatest smash-and-grab in the history of American finance. But this isn’t just a heist. It is the systematic looting of a state.

The right-wing think tank is actively pushing “civil terrorism”—increasing penalties for minor crimes committed while people engage in constitutionally protected free speech. www.wired.com/story/the-ma...

Continue to suspect that both pro- and anti- AI factions haven't really grappled with the weapons of the weak potential of this technology. A lot of people frame refusing AI as the luddite position, but in many cases using AI is literally sabotaging your employer...

This guy laid people off and attempted to use AI to force a work speedup. Love this for him 🥰🥰

Heads-up Maine, NH & VT: feds may move to open up areas to mining Appalachian #lithium deposits are claimed by a new USGS report at 300+ years of import supply Much of that's in Maine but as @livescience.com reports it's toxic & can harm habitat & #biodiversity: www.livescience.com/planet-earth...

It seems pretty clear that this proposal violates the Major Questions Doctrine. It is economically momentous and politically controversial. And as Dan explains, it rests entirely on an obscure, vague statutory provision.

Amazing things happening in Ohio politics right now. www.dispatch.com/story/news/p...

Greg Bovino and the head of New York's Young Republicans were in Portugal this weekend for a neo-fascist summit on ethnic cleansing. So why didn't the press cover it? My latest for @theredoubt.net, on extremism, antisemitism and media double standards: www.theredoubt.net/why-did-the-...

Every crime in which an ethnic or cultural minority is the perpetrator used to justify repression or worse of minorities. Every crime in which a minority is the victim used to argue for the idea that ethnic diversity is inherently unstable and should be reduced or eradicated.

ICE is in fact the worst of the worst
