‘These are murders’: Trump killing spree hits at least 185 therealnews.com/trump-killin...

Excellent reporting here on the Trump administration’s successful assault on the food stamp program, undertaken as the ranks of hungry Americans desperate for assistance include more and more “working families who cannot keep up with the cost of living and inflation.” www.nytimes.com/2026/04/26/u...

shoutout to one of the greatest tweets of all time

Adorno: "Lies have long legs, they are ahead of their time. The conversion of all questions of truth into questions of power not only suppresses truth...but has attacked the very heart of the distinction between true and false..."

If he apologizes for this, there must be incontrovertible proof that the company is responsible for much worse, even if I cant quite imagine what that worse is.

This admin chose to withdraw certain forms of aid, largely destabilizing US workforce abroad, local economies that build up around dev industry, and upending local social services, while also maintaining military presence and extractive businesses (other forms of ‘aid’). Similar process here

So for class I was (re)reading nkrumah’s neocolonialism. it is relevant for thinking about the post-1960 ‘development’ industry. Which includes what folks are now calling global health

"Nuclear energy startup" is the most cursed term ever written

All adults and some children on ICE flights—some 50 flights a day now—are shackled at the wrists and ankles attached to a chain around their waists. I have spoken to migrants and their attorneys who report being shackled for 50, 75, and 82 hours while being deported. Flight data backs this up.

Yeah I think pretty clear that there is a BIG chunk of MAGAs who are mostly in it for the racism

Getting some secondhand fox news exposure in this hotel bar and good fucking god is it dire

>Agents interviewed the girlfriend, queried databases for information on the reporter, Elizabeth Williamson, and recommended moving forward to determine whether Ms. Williamson broke federal stalking laws, the person said. Attempting to weaponize stalking laws against a journalist.

Below is a statement from the unionized workers of the Southern Poverty Law Center.

I missed this. The DoJ is trying to destroy the SPLC. apnews.com/article/sout...

Im a historian and can think of very few good reasons why anyone would know Oswald's 1939 speeches by heart

trees as cooling infrastructure! this is a fascinating story from @smaldo.bsky.social:

🚨 ICE Glasses are coming - specialized smart glasses designed by and for the Department of Homeland Security, documents reveal: www.kenklippenstein.com/p/exclusive-...

Emiratis are threatening to use petroyuans. www.wsj.com/world/middle...

just a reminder to my friendly leftists & liberals on here: if you’re going to speculate about future AI-caused layoffs etc please do so on a human level, your comrades aren’t merely job numbers

Gonna spend the next two years spamming every elected Dem about the concept of "damnatio memoriae." Chisel his name off every inscription. Build over the various Trump Towers like they're Nero's Golden House. Remove him from physical memory, not to forget but as a sign of disrespect to the man.

The Arc de Triomphe was commissioned to honor Napoleon in 1806. By the time construction had really begun in earnest, Napoleon had suffered a disastrous military defeat and had been forced into exile.

If there's one thing the gentry hate it's the very idea they may ever face consequences for their actions.

If this weren't so horrifying, the idea of the Palantir dweebs as the standard-bearers for a "culture producing vital advances" would be beyond fucking hilarious

the more i think about this, the more i think about how i have not heard this phrasing just about anywhere and i'm a prison abolitionist, the more i feel that part of what happens here is a think tank group just TELLS these guys that (phrase) is everywhere, out of control, and they go "oh shit!"

strange these op-eds about women being too angry have all come out the last few days when during the same time there's also been a massive investigation published on an online rape academy with millions of viewers a month and none of them have bothered to even cover it, even as news

If this actually happens, it may rank as the single most corrupt act in the history of American politics. I cannot believe this is even under discussion.

Corporations & the government are turning the US into one giant "sacrifice zone." It’s staggering how many working-class people I've spoken to @therealnews.com in towns/cities who are being poisoned by toxic explosions, train derailments, data centers, industrial runoff, etc...this is a major crisis

nonzero chance the FBI is plugging LLMs into wiretap data under the legal theory AI alone can’t implicate 4th amendment concerns (semi-known 702 issue). or the NSA has now hard coded wiretaps across all newly built US data centers due to expanded ECSP scope. or probably both.

IBM, specifically, represents arc of corporate diversity post CRM. IBM was once a case study for “racially progressive” capitalism. Their march from Black Company Man to diversity apologia asks a Q: what is diversity in a post liberal state? www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Reposted it from @hamiltonnolan.bsky.social earlier, but here it is again:

Ah well no one flies over summer anyway

learning that Israel is one of the main suppliers of the fluoride that gets added to our water supply is like the Super Bowl for conspiracy theorists

i can't help but think about 10 or 11 years ago when conservatives insisted that obama was uniquely anti-catholic because his administration thought that catholic-led orgs could just fill out a form if they didn't want to cover contraceptives in their health plans for employees.

Dear god. Very, very serious allegations of mass civil rights violations at the State of Florida's Everglades immigration detention center (officially known as "Alligator Alcatraz").

The initial reports of damage from Super Typhoon Sinlaku in Saipan are catastrophic. www.guampdn.com/news/beating...

Texas' only licensed Hindi, Punjabi, and Urdu legal interpreter is now languishing in a Raymondville detention center. She’s lived in America for 35 years: www.texasobserver.org/immigration-...

They just did a fly-by because the moon greased itself up so they couldn't climb on it

hey I wonder why Chappell Roan ended up the target of a hate campaign when she fired her management company because its founder Casey Wasserman turned out to be close, personal friends with noted human trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. weird. what a coincidence.

kinda wild you can just watch a couple hundred million dollar drone get rinsed on a flight tracker

When you attempt to scale the beneficent effects of tutoring, those effects go away. Feels like this would be pretty obvious to anybody who has ever been or had a tutor. The 1-to-1 instructor to student ratio is definitional.

Dude do you know how off you have to be to take out a liver when you were looking for a spleen www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

It's me, the no-nonsense progressive who gets shit done. I think the people making pennies picking strawberries while they flee from the gestapo are getting a little too greedy.

free speech is when you're free to shut up and sit there while i give a speech

Hoping they respect the union. Banner guy praising the Blocks as caring about local news isn’t great.

The Baltimore Banner’s parent organization will buy the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, a deal that will keep one of the country’s oldest newspapers open
