Trump holding meetings in the literal Situation Room treating the potential release of the Epstein files like a national security emergency speaks volumes about the administration’s panic level right now

Thinking a lot recently about the outrage over Lizzo playing James Madison's flute

This is what the Democrats have been raising hell about.

Republicans would rather protect Donald Trump from the Epstein files than pay our troops and reduce your health care costs. Republicans should get back to work.

Oh wait that wasn’t even an embellishment huh they’re really wylin out

Pretty sure that when you have giant frogs everywhere, God is very disappointed in how you are treating immigrants.

Can you think of a single movie in which there is a video from the government denouncing its political opponents playing on a loop in public spaces in which that government was the good guy?

aaand we are officially in the hide-your-neighbors stage

Donald Trump: Stop trying to incite Illinoisans into violence. Pack up and go home.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Texas proudly invading Illinois. It’s hard to describe the level of potential constitutional crisis here.

Video taken one hour ago outside the Portland ICE facility of the violent insurrectionists in question

ICE is hog tying protesters in Portland and removing them on Dollies. This is dangerous and could cause serious injury. The Department of Homeland Security thinks it’s a joke. They’ve shared this video with the tagline “Refuse to Walk? We’ll give you a ride”. Stay strong Portland.

This is the way. Phenomenal.

This morning, the Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.

ICE just blatantly violated the law and arrested sitting Chicago Alderperson Jessie Fuentes while seeking to illegally arrest a patient in a hospital. Fuck these fascists.

I'm pissed that they're blaming women for a nonexistent "autism crisis." I'm pissed that they're lying about what autism is and that mainstream people are normalizing what they're saying about autistic people. I'm pissed that this murderous grift is continuing. I'm just pissed.

20 years of this charming music video -- and a chance to boot up an emulator (or even vintage hardware) and check out its BASIC code for yourself. Down memory lane to 1979 -- or 2005 -- with @stewartsmith.bsky.social (h/t @davidlublin.bsky.social !)

What’s with all this Republican-on-Republican crime? Can’t these folks stop shooting each other? Put the guns down already.

20 years ago this week I created a music video for “Jed’s Other Poem” by Grandaddy. It went viral—and was the world’s first open-source music video. Here’s the full story: stewartsmith.io/work/jed #Music #MusicVideo #Grandaddy #Apple #BASIC #OpenSource

I refuse to be lectured on how to properly react to anyone's death by members of a party who willingly accept the death of women as the "price" paid to ban abortion care or the death of children as the "price" paid to allow the gun industry to sell weapons of war to almost anyone

Losing my goddamned mind. We can condemn political violence without valorizing a destructive, hateful bigot.

Yes. Yes, they are.

What an amazing write up from @stewartsmith.bsky.social on one of the coolest music videos from the early 2000s, a great example of code generated art from that era. Definitely worth a read for anyone working with visuals!

Trump was impeached, twice. Considering posting this every day until the Smithsonian corrects its exhibit. Feel free to join me.

Just to translate this into the original German: this is the Wehrmacht being put in charge of judging the actions of the SS.

This is so crazy, I had to look it up. The U.S. Department of Defense will no longer provide satellite weather data, leaving hurricane forecasters without crucial information about storms as peak hurricane season looms in the Atlantic. We will have to pray now. www.npr.org/2025/06/28/n...

the Lander Zohran double interviews are incredible, this is next level politics, they have the Jewish guy affirm his commitment to muslim NYers constantly while the muslim guy does the same for Jewish NYers, whoever is planning the media strategy is a HOFer

Truth Social is where POTUS announces bombing raids on nuclear sites now? NYT still has it as a a “maybe” as of 2 min ago…

“Americans are being forced to accept masked paramilitary forces stopping you anytime, anywhere—demanding to know where people are from,” says @chrislhayes.bsky.social. “It is an assault on the idea of America itself.”

In a lengthy exchange, with ICE Deputy Field Director Bill Joyce, Reps Nadler and Goldman are denied the ability to visit the 10th floor. Joyce says it's not a detention facility it's just a place ppl are housed for several days w/out beds.

Based on crowd-sourced records of No Kings Day event turnout, and extrapolating for the cities where we don't have data yet, it looks like roughly 4-6 million people protested Trump across the U.S. yesterday. That's nearly 2% of the U.S. pop! Mobilized anti-Trump resistance is exceeding 2017 levels

Tear gas can cause long-term health consequences by making people more susceptible to contracting respiratory illnesses, including COVID. The chemical agent can also hurt people inside their homes if it seeps into residential neighborhoods. What you need to know (published 2020):
