The humiliation for Trump is playing out on the world stage. Iran’s foreign minister is now holding public talks with country after country—Japan, Saudi Arabia, India, Brazil, the UK, Italy, South Korea, and more. Allies are adjusting to a world in which America appears weakened and isolated.

Lmao

“Stop talking about the thing that is going to cause us & our children mass suffering & probably kill us” is WILD

actually as a working class person who lives in the West and is aware of the physical effects that heat waves have on low-wage workers whether we be in the fields or, like myself, manual care or domestic labor, No. sometimes leadership means dictating the terms of the discussion!

Republicans: we’re gonna raid your houses and steal all your shit and then burn them down and punch you in the face Democrats: we’ll call the police Republicans: you can’t bitch, that’s against the rules Democrats: oh okay. didn’t mean to upset anyone

By the way, the @nytimes.com knows better. They know that the two key issues (other than Epstein) in the midterms--the affordability crisis and Trump/GOP's war on Iran"--are a direct consequence of our misguided continued reliance on fossil fuels.

american politics now got the vibe of a monopoly game where one guy keeps stealing cash from the bank and everyone else is still asking whose turn it is

Agreed. It's not possible to reconcile "rule of law" with "one week the GOP SCOTUS will nullify a 43-year-old statute so they can allow racial gerrymandering, then the next week the GOP VA SC will block voter-approved redistricting and have themselves a laugh by citing the SCOTUS liberals' dissent."

It’s very important to note (because the people this will affect are already prone to anxiety!) per the article the FDA has no authority whatsoever to do this and in fact drug companies can simply refuse to comply - and have done so with other drugs as recently as last month.

There is no clearer case for the necessity of Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 than how quickly southern states moved to eliminate Black-majority districts and dilute Black power after SCOTUS eroded Section 2. SCOTUS’s reasoning was immediately disproven by reality.

AOC has accomplished more than Jeff Bezos, and will continue to accomplish more, and that kills him every day

yes. change the statute on which this decision turned and redistrict according to the legitimacy conferred by the people of the state

Not only did Virginia’s right-wing Supreme Court throw out the people’s vote to redistrict, but the feds raided the office of the Black woman who led the effort. This is horrifying.

The Sargent at Arms blocks Representative Justin Pearson from Memphis from entering a committee meeting about redrawing the map specifically for the district he represents.

My entire lifetime has seen Republicans benefit from every structural bias in the system: two republican presidents elected while losing the popular vote,the senate being biased towards small rural conservative states,house and state legislatures being heavily gerrymandered, and a captured SCOTUS.

One side is like “can we disenfranchise all the Black voters by this weekend” and the other is like gotta follow the rules that govern the rules that control the rulebook

There it is

*infinite scream*

Trump seemingly calls a reporter who asked him about soaring gas prices "a bitch"

Y’all should really read this entire piece— it’s even wilder than what’s been said here. This should be massive international news

Mafia ass country

Multiple women serving sentences for nonviolent crimes at the minimum security prison where Ghislaine Maxwell is now serving time were punished for speaking to reporters about the special treatment Maxwell receives. At least two women were transferred to higher security facilities as punishment.

This story is WILD. Juan Orlando Hernandez, the Honduran ex-president pardoned by Trump for narcotrafficking, seemingly caught on tape in dozens of conversations (if true), discussing plans with GOP and other figures to attack left-wing governments, and saying Israel paid for his pardon from Trump.

A bracing read from @lebassett.bsky.social on the hantavirus outbreak and what it reveals about the dangers of RFK Jr. as HHS Secretary — delivered in her signature acerbic style. www.laura-bassett.com/p/hantavirus...

Unrelatedly, “panican” is a made-up Trump word that’s supposed to mean a panicking Republican and I find it hilarious that even his own administration is misusing it

Excited to live in a country where you can mail someone a handgun but not an abortion pill

🤔

It’s kinda sad that the Washington Post is going after New York’s mayor because there are so few other politicians talking about taxing the rich. They should have more bogeymen than Mamdani

I wrote about one today that ICE wants to use, the infamous "Rape Club" outside San Francisco.

This is blowing my mind

Because they know exactly what they’re doing. Chaos and confusion is how they win.

“The steep cuts to the program's inspectors baffled CDC officials since the small team's staff is not paid for by taxpayer dollars. Fees from cruise ships companies pay for the program, which is supposed to inspect large vessels at least twice a year.”

"It was at this moment he truly became president"

30 percent of Americans are against [squints at notes] the Pope urging peace

And they’re so real for that.

John Roberts increasingly the Susan Collins of SCOTUS. Always very concerned, swears he and his colleagues aren’t doing what they’re obviously doing, provides a veneer of moderation when all the others are flying insurrection flags over their houses.

Also because the vast majority of congressional districts are so uncompetitive that the member doesn't have to worry about losing reelection. They're much more worried about losing primaries.

Five-byline alert: 🚨 “.. Trump’s abrupt reversal on his plan to help ships go through the Strait of Hormuz came after a key Gulf ally suspended the U.S. military’s ability to use its bases and airspace to carry out the operation ..” @nbcnews.com www.nbcnews.com/politics/whi...

Last July, the pope called his bank in South Chicago. He wanted to update the phone number on his account. The teller told him that any changes had to be made in person with an ID. Knowing that was impossible, he asked: “Would it matter to you if I told you I’m Pope Leo?” She hung up on him.

Louisiana GOP is obviously & severely harming the public by nullifying the election of Calvin Duncan but also my jaw dropped, when researching, seeing how much Governor Jeff Landry and Attorney General Liz Murrill are like 'fuck this one Black man in particular' ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

No more cruises babe. Gonna have to knit at home

“More blue districts” is not the same as protecting Black voting power - this is something that must be made clear as the VRA is demolished and redistricting wars continue to escalate

Elon Musk accidentally revealing his mom's account is one of his alt's means that he has both impersonated his own infant child and mother online

Aside from the embrace of Wellness Eugenics I think RFK jr's moves all make sense if you are trying to destroy actual medical industries and replace them with wellness snake oil. We can all agree on the greed of the former but at least they create actual usable products

The government is doing its level best to try to punish black women for our vote and a hypervisibility in the culture that we did not ask for. But the real tell is not in who they punish, but in who they elevate.

I think they still would have supported it tbh

We are watching the worst assault on multiracial democracy since the Pettus bridge. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/06/u...

100% retaliation for this tweet that went viral

42,000 Louisianians voted absentee before Gov. Jeff Landry suspended primaries for the state’s six U.S. House races
