One thing to understand about the shadow docket is that it's a deliberate "fuck you" to literally everything and everyone who isn't in the majority of the Supreme Court. The rule of law, the American people, and especially to the lower courts whose work is summarily reversed without explanation.

In 1970 a kid got a lawn dart in the head and they were off the shelves the next day. Today, "AI" software will reliably tell kids how to plan their suicides and school shootings and none of the monsters who built it are held accountable. This is indefensible.

remember when trump lost the election and refused to accept the results and people were saying “come on just go along with it for a little while” this is what the ballroom is like right now lol

i believe this is related to the rise in people who are utterly incurious about anything not directly beneficial to themselves

What's on the chopping block so Trump can bankroll his Pentagon budget? Food for little babies and lifesaving cancer research.

in 2024 mr trump was swept back into office by an angry public who was fed up with not having a ballroom... and he will not stop until he delivers for the american people

I’m pretty sure he wants to prove to his father that he’s one of the great presidents who did a Big Important Thing, and since he can’t buy Greenland, he wants the White House to have his name on it. He is so desperately insecure he doesn’t need a 4D chess reason.

hello everyone who is checking out my profile for what I assume are innocuous reasons unrelated to current events have you read discworld? it’s very good

The funniest thing about people who say that chromosomes are determinative of sex and gender is that 99.9% of them have no idea what their own chromosomes actually are and if they had them tested, a good number of them would suddenly have a problem. 🤷🫠

Nah, people around the world asked a specific question about the shooting, got told “no,” and then stopped caring

The point at which a sane, morally principled award winning teacher who is angry about school shootings picks up a gun and thinks it’s the only way to make a difference is a bad place to be in. Dismissing him as a crazy person and blaming Dems is disingenuous and dishonest

This guy is indicative of people who are anti Trump not having a voice because Congress and SCOTUS have enabled Trump to obliterate any recourse they have when he does horrible things.

This guy does not have the profile of a mass shooter and he knows what he’s forgoing. I worry that we’ll see more of this because Congress and SCOTUS refuse to constrain Trump and people who would not otherwise be radicalized are feeling a kind of moral injury by extension

Have you ever noticed that the massive, coordinated, multi-year assault on trans rights is based on NOTHING WHATSOEVER

Incredibly funny for Bloomberg to talk about dude like some kind of mastermind. His entire plan was “what if I run real fast…”

Please tell me "I'm not a rapist. I'm not a pedophile" is going to be quoted for 50+ years the same as "I am not a crook" has been.

Pope said "I never mentioned your name, funny how you took it personal"

OK, so do I have this right? 1. the shooter wasn't anywhere actually close to the WHCA dinner 2. Trump, his cabinet, and the fascist enablers in the press corps present were never in danger 3. security actually worked as it should have 4. everyone making Trump into a martyr preemptively is a turd

a) We fucking called this before Roe fell ffs LISTEN TO US b) if they win this will set our whole society back to the 1950s or earlier. Workplace equality? Sexual freedom? What??? THIS MUST BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY AS AN ALL HANDS ON DECK ISSUE c) (see next skeet)

The original “now with AI!”

Checked my daughter's instagram this morning. She was critiquing photos of the WHCD event last night. Says the correspondents displayed a potentially fatal lack of teamwork and skill, and would have failed a middle school active shooter drill.

Lmao Jamie Raskin is also telling Clara Jeffrey to shut the fuck up

I don’t think I would go to the goof around with Hitler banquet

there are so many of these in the cemetery where I walk several times every week. I should take pictures of them to share, because they tell you what RFK Jr wants life to be like again. (I mean, infant and maternal mortality in the US are too high *now*, but RFK Jr thinks they're too low)

If you think AI surveillance cameras aimed at drivers’ faces is a good idea (no matter how well intentioned the justification), you are a naive fool. This data will be harvested, sold to fascists, and used to imprison activists. Oh, and car companies will 100% use it for ads you can’t turn off.

If your news org isn't going tonight post up in this thread and I'll donate.

a tincture made from this post could purify the water in 10,000 poisoned wells

Like, Trump cheaping out on renovations should be viewed as him trying to keep money in the coffers to steal for himself

Happy National Library Week! 💙📚

this whole administration is like when they shut off the containment unit in ‘ghostbusters’

Staten Island traffic cameras have caught a white RAM 1500 pickup truck blasting through school zones or running red lights more than 547 times since 2022. The truck belongs to James Giovansanti, who lives and works there as an NYPD officer. nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/04/23/t...

It was never about legal immigration. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/apr/23/trump-administration-denaturalization

hey not to be dramatic but this is gonna get someone killed

This is a very nice video.

This piece by @drstaceypatton.bsky.social should be required reading for every person in the #NotAllMen crowd.

Just in case you hadn’t seen the news from Jim Crow Louisiana

What Bovino means: About a third of the population isn’t white.

fuuuuuuck

And by using buyouts you’re very obviously trying to prevent the ageism labor lawsuits you will lose when you lay off 20000 people who all happen to be over 50

Even as a critic who has tried to write about MJ’s legacy with nuance and grace, I appreciate the clarity the director of Leaving Neverland brings to the table

Guys the problem with boosting Tucker Carlson when he says he now regrets Trump is that people 100% get the idea from that one out of context quote that he regrets the bad things Trump is doing. This is not the case, he regrets the bad things Trump has failed to do.

Social media companies will err on the side of taking accounts down or hiding them rather than face fines. And they'll have to PERMANENTLY store all the sensitive documentation (birth certificates etc) for when there are inevitable legal disputes and parents request to see what was provided.

Sorry this is the point in the thread at which I had to stop and giggle maniacally.

Yes, Swiss scientist Fritz Zwicky coined the term “dark matter” which is impressive, but he also coined the term “spherical bastard” to describe people who are bastards no matter which way you look at them, and I think that should be celebrated more.

If you want friends join a pickeball club, you are not being sent to Congress to form friendships "across the aisle" you goober, go fix my fucking healthcare and cry to your therapist 6 times a week about not having friends you chose this career not me
