What happens when instead of trying cases properly, insane people are trying them per the whims of an insane, infantile moron (who we freely chose to be led by). emptywheel.net/2026/05/05/r...

A crumb of good news and manifestation of sanity. I know the cool kids and our rulers are all in on insanity…

The good old days when, for the briefedt period, the major outlets engaged in honest journalism that actually informed people. www.counterpunch.org/2026/05/03/h...

BAD NYPD!! hellgatenyc.com/ice-wyckoff-...

One doesn't need agency to be complicit. “If past atrocities have taught us anything, it’s that the problem is never just ‘the leader’. Look at those who follow him. The hands that clap. The mouths that incite. The bodies that obey.

For those who weren’t paying attention or trusted establishment media reporting: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026... If you had been paying attention, this was to be expected and not surprising. It was a long term ongoing project.

“We had started to try to catch up and then we decided to vote for a TV star because we thought eggs cost too much and the old man and the Black lady were icky.” digbysblog.net/2026/05/03/w...

Great reminder that one big thing Democrats bring is not being Republicans. Can’t expect much better than that from them. Can’t and shouldn’t. www.axios.com/2026/05/03/j...

“Pentagon staff have been surprised to see him accompanied to official meetings by his wife, Jennifer, a former Fox News producer who frequently sits at the back during such encounters.” Tough man needing a babysitter… www.eschatonblog.com/2026/05/but-...

It's official! I'm *permanently* banned from X for tweeting "TLDR: Fascism." (appeal denied) What an honor—and a sign that the Silicon Valley billionaires feel threatened by my book. (One of my final viral posts featured this cover.) Pre-order here! www.simonandschuster.com/books/The-Ne...

As some might recall, I frequently characterize Trump as insane. I’m not a pro, I just keep my eyes open. But this is what some professionals said ca 2019 and he’s gotten much worse since. worldmhc.org/wp-content/u...

SCOTUS tells me that nothing says "well regulated militia" like all the wrong people having the easiest possible access to guns and assault weapons. So of course this. www.thetrace.org/2026/04/atf-...

Here comes tomorrow -- possibly. If not in 2026, then probably 2028. Gotta love how much the self-proclaimed patriotic party hates democracy so. www.propublica.org/article/trum...

"A blaring example of how John Locke's blasphemous fetish for the 'protection of private property' is destructive of the Constitutional mandate to govern justly." real-economics.blogspot.com/2026/05/week... Wikrent does god's work here with this blog but that quote is pure bullshit.

The capitalist world may well be at a tipping point where things climate-related must be addressed and maybe are about to be addressed at the needed scale. 🤞🏻 www.meditationsinanemergency.com/truth-conseq...

Interesting take from @ritholtz.bsky.social, a finance guy that isn’t a Wall Street (aka establishment) guy. Subtle but important distinction. ritholtz.com/2026/05/regi...

His solutions are so delusional that it's breathtaking in that they come from someone who surely knows better. His first mistake is assuming a D trifecta would have a POTUS and majority actually interested in SCOTUS reform and collapses from there...

I think there's a scandal here but the establishment media are ignoring it so I guess there's nothing too bad here. www.readtangle.com/the-everythi...

DINOs plus a Republican minority equals a de facto Republican majority much of the time. While a D majority isn't as good for Donny as a R majority (duh), it'd be much less of a problem than one might think. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/trump...

OK. covertactionmagazine.com/2026/05/01/u...

How about compelling the arrest of her murderer? Not possible of course. But remembering the scumbag is still free is possible. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

You know, I initially had a problem with Kamala running again. On reconsideration though, notwithstanding that no DNC allowed candidate is what the nation needs, she'd be the perfect candidate, specially if Trump gets to run again. www.counterpunch.org/2026/05/01/i...

The bribe is less interesting than it's a bribe -- and the establishment media don't care because they're all doing it instead of reporting honestly on he who is being bribed.

The most transparent administration ever per a pathological lying monster. www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

Maybe the WHCA can next start reporting honestly instead of protecting and promoting Trump and his party…

To be a person of no consequence, to speak without power, is a bewilderingly awful condition, as though you were a ghost, a beast, as though words died in your mouth, as though sound no longer traveled. It is almost worse to say something and have it not matter than to be silent.

FWIW. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

After the accumulation of obscene, our masters' next favorite thing is absolute compliance form the masses which of course can be provided by AI and devices...

Now I wonder... I'd love to see a poll asking people about their hating Trump. Not Trump Derangement Syndrome but simple repulsion by a monstrous subhuman being. You know; 🫪🤢🤮 www.rawstory.com/reflecting-p... 8647 4ever...

More truth in a headline than in a couple shit tons of establishment media”reporting”. isdonaldtrumpalive.com/donald-trump...

Theyve been showing their true colors for years. The failure to them pulling shit isn’t on them. It’s on everyone who couldn’t or chose not to see it, national Democrats on down… www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Photo of the year: A family broken up by the terrorICEs at an NYC court. Via mymodernmet.com/world-press-... Only Trump could unless this lawlessness against the weak — not a man but a real, thorough cunt.

"The Pentagon's acting comptroller tells Congress the war has cost $25 billion thus far." Well, some of it can be clawed back from the bribes paid Trump to conduct the war, huh? www.forever-wars.com/the-iran-war...

War can be fought by means other than military. The Civil War only ended the military action. The war and violence continued by other means (with an arguable interregnum of Reconstruction). And now, the ex-CSA has won. whowhatwhy.org/politics/ele...

"...there are blindingly obvious answers to tech problems, which our lawmakers are paid to ignore..." Fixed it. Otherwise, a good enough piece. pluralistic.net/2026/04/30/s...

Yet again because people don't and won't learn: The writing has been on the wall since 2013 when SCOTUS rendered the VRA ineffective. And then the national Democrats did nothing substantive. kottke.org/26/04/farewe... Pay fucking attention and resist when bad things happen.

The shot that wasn’t fired…? emptywheel.net/2026/04/30/w...

For the idictment to succeed, “86” has to be read as a variant on the word kill. Problem for the sick fucks at DOJ, it means no such thing as our establishment media refuse to report. Reality check: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/86_(ter.... www.popehat.com/p/the-comey-...

This is awesome. people.com/teen-14-used... At the end of the day, making the world better is on us. Our leaders aren't interested in doing any such thing.

Contrary to what we've been taught, maybe money isn't everything. Believing it is is how a society stays backward and uncivilized. www.scottsantens.com/the-angine-d...

True, but it can be all things. Trump's baseline is being a subhuman pathological monster so...

👏

“A close reading of the Justice Department’s charges… hint that he didn’t fire any weapon at all. In fact, it’s not clear from what we know that this was a ‘shooting’ at all.” So everything about Allen is true. Only the claim about the shooting is Trumpshit. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/is-the-jus...

And our national decline continues just like our leaders want…
