Palantir put out the most cartoonishly evil statement possible. They’re so arrogant and self-confident they don’t seem to believe their fascistic plans can be opposed. We must get rid of Palantir altogether. twitter-thread.com/t/2045574398...

Another Peter Thiel funded attack on Journalism 😠 And I am totally here for @rebeccabellan.bsky.social bringing the lumber to techbro lackey Aron D’Souza in the interview transcript haha. Give em hell, Ms. Bellan. techcrunch.com/2026/04/15/c...

Clarence Thomas ruled in favor of Citizens United. Harlan Crow's political contributions then went up 862%. Then we later find out Thomas let Crow take him on lavish trips, buy his mom's house, and help fund his wife's conservative nonprofit. But go on about how "progressivism" is a problem...

Pilot shot down in Iran visits the White House. Looks familiar, can’t quite place her though

You know I knew that Door Dash woman looked familiar

So the five hungry dinosaurs set off for the Great Valley. There had never been such a herd before. A long neck, a three-horn, a big mouth, a flyer, and a spike-tail all together, all knowing that if they lost their way, they would starve or find themselves in Sharptooth's shadow.

I wrote about U2’s Days of Ash and Easter Lily EPs, which were released with minimal fanfare on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday, respectively. It’s the best U2 music in a long time, though I admit this is faint praise. open.substack.com/pub/fluxblog...

One man put us in this deadly quagmire. One man is wrecking our economy. One man’s immigration agents have terrorized our communities. One man has ridden roughshod over our system of government. We said "No Kings" 250 years ago. Congress must say "No Kings" today. If not, they must be replaced.

FYI if you’re talking about the #Artemis II mission and you want to get the spaceflight terminology right, the mission is “crewed,” not “manned.” (NASA made the terminology change official decades ago, so this isn’t new, but a lot of folks just aren’t aware.)

Both of Marco Rubio’s parents were born in Cuba. Marco Rubio was born in Miami in 1971, before they became US citizens. He is a US citizen because he was born in the US under birthright citizenship. #Hypocrites

Star Trek figured this out thirty years ago. It's not hard. Even an old, drunk Klingon got it.

i swear this gov is a TV show. the head of intelligence got hacked and used his real name for a porn account. the head of dept of war accidentally texted war plans to a journalist. and now former head of homeland security grappling with husband's secret cross-dressing double life in anti-LGBTQ admin

“No book is genuinely free from political bias. The opinion that art should have nothing to do with politics is itself a political attitude.” - George Orwell

People in the US really don't know the only reason Iran has a religious theocracy is that the US overthrew the democratically elected gov't in Iran, and installed the brutal Shah, because they wanted to control their own oil ? Really ????

It’s a good day to revisit this Ursula Le Guin quote. In the best possible reality, Earthsea would be the dominant fantasy series for children.

7 years ago, we learned about Bob Mueller’s conclusions. Today, there are a lot of posts on social media claiming it was a farce, or worse, a fraud. But those posts are disinformation. Here is the actual information, with links for those who want to do a deep dive. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

The Supreme Court seems alarmingly willing to trash thousands of ballots www.vox.com/politics/483...

Meta paid an effective fed tax rate of 3.5% on its latest tax bill — its lowest on record. Mark Zuckerberg's net worth just hit $222 billion. And Meta is pumping $65 million into elections this year to boost AI friendly candidates. Now it's reportedly planning to lay off 15,000 workers. Hello?

If there is a point to being human, it probably is something stupid like writing poems and songs. So go write your book. Do your part.

1/2. He took the greatest military force in history, lost a war to a middle power in a week, begged the world to save him, & demanded the media lie about this & everything else. I try, but at a simple human level I do not see how anyone mistakes this man’s almost supernatural weakness for strength.

Reminder: DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate — and violated the STOCK Act against insider trading as recently as last August. He currently holds stock in L3Harris, which has millions in contracts with ICE and FEMA. The grift continues.

One of the seminal figures in the decline of the United States, the man who made extreme partisanship the standard for our governance, now has some thoughts on how the world should end.

-A living wage -Guaranteed healthcare -The right to join a union -The right to vote -The right to choose when, how, and with whom you start a family -The right for you and your family to live free from gun violence Remember: These are the foundations of real freedom.

Still not sure if we need Medicare for All?

I can't even find the words to express how repugnant and despicable this post is. People who spew such Islamophobic bile don't belong in the United States Congress. The job of elected officials is to combat hate, not fan its flames. (1/2)

me paying $30 in gas to buy imported things that have been hit with tariffs bc joe rogan is learning about politics at age 58

I get yelled at for saying this but for many hundreds of years people went to university not to get diplomas or be employable but because immersion in the humanities was considered foundational to a good life, and school must return to its original purpose: the joy of learning.

"Guys" - Actually, a group of women. "Girls" - Actually, a group of fully grown women. "Old Bats" - A group of women who used to be goths in high school and still listen to The Cure. www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/nam...

I need some recommendations for the best Arthurian novels - the original Malory (there must be a good modern English version?), retellings, re-imaginings, modern and old, including works that aren't quite retellings but take a lot of inspiration (like The Everlasting by @alixeharrow.bsky.social).

Bernie's new billionaire wealth tax would raise $4.4T from the super-rich over the next decade. That's more than enough to reverse Trump's Medicaid cuts, raise teacher pay, make childcare affordable, and build millions of affordable homes. And guess what? The super-rich will still be super rich.

I'm sorry, if you're going to make a big show about how you've got a Department of WAR helmed by a Secretary of WAR and staffed by WARfighters, it's totally inane to then claim that your massive bombing of a foreign country constitutes something other than a war.

Kinda weird that the party that controls the House, the Senate, and the White House claims there's rampant voter fraud.

-A living wage -Guaranteed healthcare -The right to join a union -The right to vote -The right to choose when, how, and with whom you start a family -The right for you and your family to live free from gun violence These are the foundations of real freedom.

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage. The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.” It’s about control.

NEW: Senate Democrats REJECT funding for DHS, which will lead to shutdown of the agency. Keep in mind, ICE and CBP are still funded by supplemental money in the BBB, but it's harder to spend and will deplete those funds. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Pamela Jo Bondi coldly ignoring the Epstein survivors as she memorizes her next irrelevant lie to protect one of the main perpetrators.

Jayapal: To the survivors in the room, if you are willing, please stand. And if you are willing, please raise your hands. If you have still not been able to meet with this DOJ. Please note for the record that every single survivor has raised their hand.

Pam Bondi has been a complete and total failure at her job. The Epstein survivors showed more courage just by being in that room than she did under oath. She refused to answer questions and chose complicity. America deserves better.

1. Internal documents reveal that Freedom 250, which purports to celebrate the nation's 250th anniversary, is a vehicle to promote Trump and "America First" propaganda, including election conspiracies Major corporations like Mastercard and Deloitte and spending million to bankroll this effort

LISTEN: There are a lot of folks out here working tirelessly to get the truth out there. Replying to us that nothing matters because there'll be no consequences is not only incorrect, but it belittles the work we do. It's insulting and shortsighted. Stop following us if you don't want the info.
