This is the single most alarming thing I’ve seen yet from RFK Jr. He is attempting to get identifiable medical records from ALL OF US. “Under the proposal, HHS would get data from 90% of the population’s medical records by 2028”. This CANNOT be permitted to happen.

The most recent showy AI-related IPO, CBRS, popped 70% day one to $385. It’s still well above the offering price of $185, but 15 trading days later down 45% from that high. This would be the point Nasdaq includes SpaceX but if you knew you had a guaranteed bagholder maybe the stock would stay up?

Literacy is the GOP's worst nightmare.

The arc of the moral universe only bends towards justice if we bend it. There's no karmic comeuppance for fascists. There's just us. Community and hard work and a willingness to to take risks and fail.

We’re going to have to learn to test our own food for E. Coli before this gets better.

Meet the ‘superdodgers’: The few who never had COVID Researchers say there's a big difference between people who think they’ve never had COVID and those who truly haven't. Data suggest only 2–3% of people worldwide avoided infection, with many unnoticed cases due to mild or asymptomatic illness.

nothing in the fossil record contradicts this

Again, if someone says "Vote for me, because my dad was an SS officer, so I know service!🤡" That wouldn't go over well. "Vote for me! My dad was an ICE agent!🤡" Bad. But "Vote for me! My mom and dad were cops in New Jersey in the 70s, when NJ cops beat all those Black protesters to death!🤡" Works?

Reminder that Widow’s Bay creator Katie Dippold is behind one of the greatest Halloween tweets of all time:

sometimes it does hit me how incredible and surreal it is that he’s the literal president, clothed in immense power, and all he really wants to do is build gaudy tourist attractions.

This was always the most frustrating thing to me about the rhetoric around forcing the TikTok sale. Chanting red scare nonsense while all our data is up for sale from any number of data harvesting apps dressed up as mobile games/whatever else.

SpaceX is worth only 48% of its $1.75 trillion IPO target, Morningstar says SpaceX recorded a net loss in the latest quarter of $4.28 billion after losing $4.94 billion in 2025. Musk is a con man. www.cnbc.com/2026/06/03/m...

To be clear: the lower court said the map intentionally discriminates against black people in violation of the *constitution* (not just the VRA) and the MAGA Majority of SCOTUS is saying "that's ok now."

Only bollards can deliver this much happiness. #WorldBollardAssociation

Ah yes, the "Thdpsssps"

the death of 60 minutes and the rest of the VRA on the same night really brings home how the current conservative project is to kill the progress and ideals of the mid century

“Republican friendly” is just a sanitized way of saying racist here www.nytimes.com/2026/06/02/u...

If Democrats aren't advocating for massive Supreme Court reform, then they aren't the change you seek or need, folks. If they aren't willing to fight or campaign on this, then we're totally f'd.

especially re: 2, one must ask, in what way is this court majority actually opposed to Plessy v. Ferguson?

This will not end w/ voting rights. The fundamental premises of these SCOTUS opinions are: 1) Anti-discrimination is actually unconstitutional discrimination; 2) Intentional discrimination isn't actionable if any alternative rationale is presented. It's the beginning of the end of civil rights law.

Adam Hamawy is a seasoned veteran combat medic who literally saved the life of a sitting senator of the United States; volunteered to treat Bosnians and Palestinians during their genocides, helped 9/11 victims on 9/11, and this is how the NYT decides to describe him after he wins a seat to Congress.

First day on the job and you want respect? Go right up to the most recognizable and respected guy in the newsroom and have him yell at you until you cry. Then it's time to send him a weepy email telling him how disappointed you were that he did all that. Shouldn't have any trouble after that.

What's happening to CBS News is what the tech oligarchs call "parallel" strategy. Buy an existing institution, gut it, and convert it into a right-wing zombie version of itself. They are doing this to media, government, education, biotech, defense tech, etc. Some call it the "Network State."

I can't stop mentioning that Marco Rubio was confirmed in a 99-0 vote that had a celebratory atmosphere and literally none of them have apologized, explicitly, for that vote

if any senator had chosen to be the one guy who voted against every single trump nominee, they would be the front runner for 2028 right now

So many people who can reasonably be described as “that little shit” are in charge of so much of society.

ngl, Schumer endorsing Platner but not Zohran is funny af, really highlights his racism.

The U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) is less than 10 days away from falling to its lowest level since August 1983- over 15,625 days ago- a level not seen since the SPR's initial fill-up that began in 1977.

Greater than zero chance Anthropic dumps Colossus 1 (or reprices it way lower) in Q1/Q2 next year. SpaceXAITwitter could equally see some Q over Q AI revenue declines next year. 100x revs though for the value investors.

Having a billionaire heiress run one of the largest urban police forces is one of those things that maybe all too obviously gestures at the way our kleptocracy squanders public funds on a violent, militarized police force at the expense of welfare to reinforce class hierarchies

Someone actually did a study a while back that showed the most effective way to get women out of TERF groups wasn’t people trying to change their minds, it was them getting literally any benign hobby, like learning other languages or taking up needlework

The U.S. government handed a 3-year-old to an abuser to torture him to death, and then his mother was allotted one hour for his funeral.
