Dershowitz is genuinely loathsome and has been for a long time.

Rode the Bergen Bike Bus today to make a big announcement: We’re redesigning Bergen Street and Dean Street, from Court Street to East New York Ave — adding new bike boulevards and more pedestrian space. Safer rides to school for New York City kids coming soon.

These southern states are moving us back 60 years to before the Voting Rights Act, where there was nearly no Black representation in Congress. We have to fight back with all we have.

🔴 NEW - Nigel Farage has accepted £2 million since becoming an MP @desmog.com’s analysis, published by The Guardian, shows that the Reform leader has raked in millions on top of the £5 million handed to him by Harborne

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...

Another example of the shameful weaponization of DOJ against Trump's political opponents. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Come on, guys, please let’s get the word out, and spread these articles around. Media complicity in Reform’s rise is truly shameful.

A Reform UK candidate sent messages mocking disabled residents as “ponces of society,” "lazy c****" and "skanks" with “made up ailments" while mocking their appearance. He boasted to one recipient that reporting his conduct to the party would be ineffective because he is “a board member for Reform"

relentless poll chasing + contempt for your political base + a total absence of principle or vision = political disaster www.nytimes.com/2026/05/05/o...

We’re losing the country. The rule of law is gone.

Very concerning. "Reform UK candidates standing in this week’s local elections appear to have posted racist and Islamophobic views on social media, as well as support for far-right figures like Tommy Robinson and Nick Griffin."

If you vote for anything other than Reform tomorrow, there's a good chance they'll do their best to do things like fix potholes. If you vote for Reform they're more likely to waste your money on providing parking spaces for themselves. www.lbc.co.uk/article/refo...

BREAKING: in April 2026, *every single one* of the 1,570 refugees admitted in the United States were white South Africans. In FY 2026, the U.S. has admitted a total of 6,066 white South Africans, three Afghans (back in November 2025), and nobody else.

Hello from Minneapolis.

A Harvard study just published estimates Elon Musk's destruction of USAID has already caused 600,000 deaths 2/3 of them children. That is his legacy in this world.

I would like the media to stop trading in blatantly antisemitic caricature

Man, that sounds terrible. Killed with impunity by agents of the state for just being on the street and protesting? Hard to see how regimes like that can continue to claim a popular mandate.

Democrats must come up with a strong offense strategy against Blanche, Trump, and the rest of the administration who continue to meddle in our electoral processes. Otherwise, they'll do it again. LP's Stuart Stevens has more in the clip.

There are antisemites at the Tommy Robinson protests. There is footage of attendees doing N*zi salutes. As Harry Shukman’s book attests, several of the far right groups who support TR engage in antisemitism behind closed doors. I wonder when we’ll get to asking if they should be restricted/banned?

Cuba hasn’t been able to pose a threat to US national security since 1962. The main threat to world peace comes from Marco Rubio. Just ask Greenland, Canada, Panama, Colombia, Mexico, Venezuela, Nigeria, Yemen, Somalia, or Iran.

The Trump regime is using an official social media account — managed with taxpayer funds — to post offensive horseshit like this.

The Fox/Trump ”nuke” justification for the Iran war — and the higher prices it's wrought — has collapsed www.mediamatters.org/fox-news/fox...

This is utterly disgusting.

De-MAGA-fication is going to be a massive project. Future Congresses are going to have to think big. The reforms might have to be bigger than those that came after Watergate: newrepublic.com/article/2099...

This can't, or shouldn't, be even remotely good enough, and surely wouldn't be accepted as such for any other party leader. Amongst many, many other things, it can't have been both 'unconditional' *and* 'to pay for my security'. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I’m so glad I got the shingles vaccine a few years ago. Approximately one in three people in the US will get shingles in their lifetime. It’s painful, miserable, and lasts for weeks. RFK Jr. wants you to suffer.

The message of peace is understandably unwelcome by warmongers.

Marco Rubio explains that the Trump administration's goal now is merely to reopen the Strait of Hormuz -- the prevailing state of affairs before Trump launched his pointless war

It's a good piece, but the critique that the Reform policy would "punish" Green voters inadvertently plays into Reform's hands. Reform see it as a 'gotcha' on the lines of 'if you're so keen on asylum seekers, how many will you take in your house?' 1/4

281/ “Top Pentagon general says strikes ‘all below the threshold’ of restarting full combat…Speaking at a joint press conference, US defence secretary Pete Hegseth said that the Pentagon was “not looking for a fight” good to see some escalation management bsky.app/profile/robe...

If the President wanted to curb nuclear risk, withdrawing from the JCPOA clearly moved us in the opposite direction. Now Americans are paying the price of Trump's reckless decisions with a 40% spike in gas prices – hardly a ‘small price’ to pay.

It gets weirder by the day. Here, a health secretary whose policies directly undermine children's health rambles on about physical fitness for military service in front of a POTUS who got exempted as unfit and now appears to be virtually catatonic.

It's weird that Donald Trump describes America like it's one of the young girls he targeted for sexual abuse, selfishly manipulating them to get what he wanted and destroying them callously, before walking away scot-free and, oh, wait, OK, yeah, I see it now.

Greens work harder to deliver for their communities. Vote Green on Thursday. 🗳️ ✅

Good to see: Senator Adam Schiff tells me that if Dems win Congress, wholesale fumigation and reform of DOJ will be essential due to Trump's world-historical corruption. "DOJ is in shambles," Schiff says. He and others lay out ideas on preventing future travesties: newrepublic.com/article/2099...

So typical of Farage to try to deflect from the brazen corruption of his £5million gift from a foreign-based crypto billionaire by making a mad and fascist policy announcement so we talk about that, instead of him. We can easily do both. Reform is corrupt and racist. Farage is corrupt and racist.

Families can't afford to fill their tank and put food on the table because of Republican wars and tariffs. Health care is more expensive than ever thanks to Republican cuts and obstruction. Americans simply don't care about a stupid ballroom.

About time. “Spying was a problem for Austria,” she continued, but the government had embarked on a “change of course” and was “taking consistent action”.

"Quote from Count Dankula" — the Russian government

French police are forcibly separating asylum seeking families as they try to board small boats. On Saturday, this resulted in a 3-year-old crossing the Channel alone, his mother left behind. Full thread and story below: www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

What does normalisation of the far right look like? How about being told that if it’s a choice between the SNP or a party that would send refugees to their deaths you must pick the latter, while also being told the ex-leaders of the Scottish Greens are extremists? www.thetimes.com/uk/scotland/...

Farage & The Tories delivered Brexit Make them own it And yes, feckers voted for it. I don't know if folk believed the lies or wanted to. Or were wearing their exceptionalism on their foreheads🙄 But ffs you fecking damaged us & helped Putin in trying to destroy European Countries 🙄 Vote #SNP1 #💚2
