13 May 1928 | A German Jewish girl, Ruth Albersheim, was born in Bielefeld. She lived in Amsterdam. In November 1943 she was deported to #Auschwitz and murdered in a gas chamber. --- ▶ A short video showing the ruins of gas chamber and crematorium III: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/ipQmBPAlJQ8

important thing to note here is dr oz cites a current american replacement rate of 1.5, which is not true. the american replacement level in 2025 was 1.79. interestingly, the white replacement rate is in fact at 1.5 though

For those outside the Seattle area, the current area drama is that wealthy residents of a mansion neighborhood are complaining to the city that helicopters that carry children to the Children's Hospital are too noisy. I cannot say my thoughts publicly :)

I love how when Democrats propose a relatively boring and novel legal theory, corporate media frames it as a FURIOUS AND DESPERATE FAR-FETCHED BANK SHOT, but when Trump tries some crazy shit like overturning birthright citizenship, it's something to consider seriously.

When Marjorie Taylor Greene occasionally does something right, I chalk it up to a broken clock being useful twice a day. That doesn't mean ignoring that it's wrong the rest of the day. Those on the far-left attempting to prop her up as a hero have lost their goddamn minds.

The western stretch of the Arkansas River is in trouble, compounded by uncertainty about what, exactly, is polluting & drying the river, & how such problems can be fixed.

Cat to Human H5N1 transmission. Next time someone tells me I discourage raw food because I’m getting paid off by big pet food I’ll drop this one on them. The veterinarian seroconverted but never had symptoms. None of the symptomatic contacts of the cats tested positive by either PCR or serology.

Unprecedentedly illegal murder on the high seas

Trump gathered all of the very worst people in the country in one place and got them to break a million laws and then pardoned all of them, and now local law enforcement has to go get them one by one as they commit new crimes.

“The process of relocating people from New Orleans should start immediately, as the city has reached a point of no return that will see it surrounded by ocean within decades due to the #ClimateCrisis, a stark new study has concluded.” The consequence of believing we “can’t afford #ClimateAction.”

What do you call camps where people keep disappearing and dying

At least 79 kids have been harmed by tear gas or pepper spray during Trump’s immigration crackdown. In most cases, they were going about their days when officers shot chemical munitions near their homes and schools and into their cars.

ICE is beyond redemption and should be dismantled bit by bit

Seattle rocks.

Samuel Alito cited erroneous racial voting data in his ruling opinion that effectively ended the Voting Rights Act. So why does it feel like the data was correct?

Doctors say that fluoride helps build strong teeth. A guy who snorts cocaine off toilet seats and takes raccoon penises home for “further study” says it causes autism. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.

Sen. Cory Booker said on Meet the Press that SCOTUS was a "corrupt court" that is in desperate need of reform, in the wake of its ruling gutting the Voting Rights Act. Booker: "Obviously this decision would result–and they knew this–in stripping political representation from African Americans”

Just f-ing play legislative hardball to move forward anyway, like GOP state legislatures have been for years. Use every stupid loophole at their disposal. Why is this so difficult?

Justice instead of punishment. Gift link.

This is a party asking to die

Lynx held a moment of silence for Alex Pretti and Renee Good ahead of the season opener at Target Center:

The hill I’m dying on: The Marco memes are the best.

It remains great work

To the members of the Epstein Class, the lives of critically ill or injured children are a nuisance Noise complaints from Seattle neighborhood inhabited by the 1% force medical helicopters carrying children to land 1 mile away from emergency hospital www.fox13seattle.com/video/fmc-d3...

virginia voters should call their delegates and senators and demand that they ignore this illegitimate ruling

WATCH: Sen. Gary Carter, D-New Orleans, confronts Sens. Jay Morris, R-West Monroe, and Caleb Kleinpeter, R-Port Allen, during a congressional redistricting hearing. Morris is the author of legislation that’s removing an elected court clerk and judges in New Orleans.

A Georgia couple who terrorized a Black family at a child's birthday party with Confederate flags, racial slurs, guns, and death threats were sentenced for a hate crime. Joe Torres got 20 years; Kyla Norton got 15.

The Bezos Post is essentially becoming Jeff Bezos’ personal blog to whine about people who criticize the idle rich like him. A hit dog will holler. Imagine arguing that hoarding billions of dollars is the peak of “human potential” with a straight face.

The man is unwell. Seriously unwell. Lame-duck presidents fade away, but injured dictators can be dangerous. Robert Reich

Marco Rubio: Operation Epic Fury is over. Our preference is to return to the pre-war status for the Strait of Hormuz. 🇺🇸US Senator: But the SOH was already open before the war? So what was the point of whole war? You have created a Global Crisis OUT OF NOTHING” #cdnpoli

And by the way, John Roberts, Trump approaching you at a State of the Union speech to shake your hand and say, "Thank you, I won't forget it" doesn't really scream "unpolitical" to anyone who has eyes.

We've had plenty of career politicians serve as Chief Justice -- former senators and governors, even a former president -- and yet none was such a nakedly partisan political figure in their role as Chief as John Roberts. He is a political hack and I'm glad hearing that simple truth makes him sad.

VInay Prasad tried to prevent the FDA from even reviewing this vaccine.

Most relatable comic of all time?

I wonder if James Comey now regrets using Hillary and her emails to subvert an election?

COLBERT: How dumb do you think it is for people to say that I should run for president? OBAMA: Well, you know, the bar has changed. I think you would perform significantly better than some folks we've seen. COLBERT: Is that an endorsement? OBAMA: It was not

At this point, I think he is just trolling us.

We live in a time dominated by deeply unserious people making deeply unserious arguments in support of tragically serious results that serious people would have both avoided and known to avoid.

Don't forget: my old Yale Law classmate Clarence Thomas refused to recuse from Jan. 6 cases despite his wife's involvement in the plot. And he's taken at least 100 gifts worth over $2 million while serving, including from GOP donor Harlan Crow. He's a disgrace to the Court.

Mark Zuckerberg built a massive data center in Georgia just hundreds of yards from people’s homes. Now the water pressure is gone. Sinks don’t run. Toilets won’t refill. Homes shake nonstop. Power outages are routine.

SCOOP: The F.D.A. blocked the release of studies finding that Covid and shingles vaccines were safe. In the case of Covid, FDA staff had to withdraw studies heading toward publication: www.nytimes.com/2026/05/05/u...

Biden's presidency and the aftermath we're living through should be enough to destroy the "let's the turn page, let's look forward, let's move on" mantra that has animated centrist Democrats for decades now. Accountability matters. There has to be a reckoning.
