We've become numb to this stuff, but a president accusing a journalist of treason -- a capital crime -- for reporting on an ongoing war is not normal, and we should never accept it as normal.

This is amazing - @kevinolearytv 🤡 is fearmongering about Chinese agents opposing his giant Utah data center… but it’s 2 young local girls in Utah who hilariously call him (and his “dumbass hat”) out👇🏽 Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DYU074V...

One more time for the people in the back!

1/ Thread about Mayor Mamdani’s plan to tax second homes in NYC. From 2013-15, I served on the School Leadership Team (SLT) for PS 59, my daughter’s elementary school on 56 Street between 2nd & 3rd Avenues. SLT served as a strategic sounding board for the Principal, not fundraising (PTA).

I feel like this might be a dialectic we all need to embrace.

JUST THE FACTS: 👇 Felon Donald Trump has been president for only 2% of America's history… He is now responsible for 25% of our national debt. That’s 25%, folks! $39 trillion…and growing daily.

leave it to Trump, the GOP, and nuts like Meghan McCain in response to shots fired to say build a corrupt WH ballroom instead of pushing for gun reform.

I'm rewatching the Chernobyl series on HBO, and the opening voiceover from Legasov resonates: "What is the cost of lies? It's not that we'll mistake them for the truth. The real danger is that if we hear enough lies, then we no longer recognize the truth at all."

Thank you @vermontgmg.bsky.social. Today is my birthday and this column felt like a gift to me. I got emotional as you put into words so much of what I have been feeling. Finding joy & feeling awe are gifts of being human. They cost nothing, but if you fail to let them into your life you pay dearly.

The shared excitement over NASA’s recent mission compared to the general indifference to SpaceX missions speaks to the power of something seen as the product of communal human effort rather than just the ego and avarice of one obnoxious dork.

You know something has gone terribly wrong when 94% of teachers have to dip into their own pockets to buy school supplies while the average Wall Street employee got a bonus of $246,900 in 2025. Hello?

This is so well done. 👌

"Light Fossils" dinosaur light painting by artist Darren Pearson, known as Darius Twin, using a unique photography technique. The artwork is created using long-exposure photography, where the camera shutter remains open while the artist moves handheld lights to "draw" the figures in real-time.

Bizarre example aside, I'm trying to think of a something my spouse has asked me not to do simply because he "doesn't want his wife ___," and I'm drawing a blank. I asked him to quit cigs when he turned 40, but that's bc I don't want him to die soon, not bc "I don't want my husband ___." So gross.

cognitive reframing: I am putting ice cream in my coffee -> I am out of milk because I am disorganized -> negative affect I am putting ice cream in my coffee -> I am making affogato, a sophisticated italian dessert -> positive affect

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

After Trump's latest genocidal utterances, I'm posting this again from Anaïs Nin’s diary from 1939-1944: “America is in even greater danger because of its cult of toughness, its hatred of sensitivity, and someday it may have to pay a price for this, because atrophy of feeling creates criminals”.

The Squeaker of the House when reporters ask him if he has any comments on President Genocide’s post…

This is everything that is wrong with people who stream this type of programming all day and track markets my the minute. I hope these people have people in their lives that point out to them that they have become horrible wretches.

I have a father and mother in law in Iran. I have a sister in law. A niece. She's 14. She likes silly pink headbands and purses and dresses, just like kids her age all over the world. There are 93 million people like her in Iran. People who do all the normal mundane life things as the rest of us.

I'm not sure how you can be against removing this man from office right now. What will it take? A nuke being dropped? It's too late then. The purpose of impeachment and the 25th Amendment is to prevent that type of thing from happening, not just to react to it.

The New York Times deleted Trump’s “open the fuckin’ strait” line to make him look less insane Their write-up falsely says his post says only “Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!!” and “Praise be to Allah”

Trump said we “can’t take care of daycare” because “we’re fighting wars.” Hello? The $200B he wants for his war could provide every child in the country with a free school lunch for a year & have $170 billion to spare. Trump can help people here at home — he’s just choosing not to.

RUBIO: “Imagine if Iran spent billions on its people instead of weapons... They’d have a much different country.”🤔😕 Unreal. @marcorubio Do you even hear yourselves? Your shameless hypocrisy is killing us

Simple information about what the SAVE Act would actually do to American voters. Tens of millions would lose their right to vote unless they spend lots of $$$ and jump through bureaucratic hoops before November.

Pete Hegseth spent $2 million on Alaskan king crab, $7 million on lobster tail, and $15.1 million on ribeye steak in just one month. — But please, tell me again how the elderly who’ve worked their entire lives to get $800 a month on Social Security are bleeding this country dry.

The funniest thing about the Trump admin is how all of the "eff your feelings" and "cry harder lib" alpha males turn out to be the whiniest saddest snowflakes, unable to handle a negative picture and walking about in ill-fitting shoes to not upset Trump. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

I'm no fancy political consultant, but, hey, if you're in Dem comms, you should notice that Fox News panicked over Trump wearing a cheap Trump merch baseball cap to receive the bodies of soldiers he got killed for no reason he can articulate, and you should absolutely lean into that.

“Doublethink means the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one's mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them.” — 1984, George Orwell

Maybe we misunderstood Trump and he meant BORED of Peace.

Kash Patel in 2023: “I’m just saying Chris Wray doesn’t need a government funded G5 jet to go to vacations. Maybe we ground that plane. $15,000 every time it takes off. Just a thought.”

The reason we're here is that tens of millions of people will punch a hole in a wall if they hear someone used food stamps to buy soda but they're fine if the right-wing podcaster turned fbi director uses his taxpayer funded private jet to go party whenever he feels like it bsky.app/profile/thed...

Let's try this again 👋 Hi Bluesky - I'm Massachusetts' Attorney General. You might know me from suing President Trump nearly 50 times, beating Uber and Lyft in court, or being the first woman of color elected to statewide office in MA. I officially left X today - help me find my MA people?

Getting shown up in the arena of elite impunity by *the British monarchy* is an incredible “America at 250!” achievement

What a brilliant observation.

another year of us not running a super bowl ad

You've heard of Kent State (1970) & maybe Jackson State (1970). Did you know #tdih 1968, 28 students were injured and three killed (one a HS student) — most shot in the back by state police while involved in a peaceful protest in Orangeburg, SC? 💔 🧵 Read ⬇️ www.zinnedproject.org/news/tdih/or...

This is an immensely significant document that continues to get virtually no attention in US media—but lots abroad. In Jul 2015, Epstein arranged a meeting between a known highest-level Russian intel operative, Sergey Belyakov and Peter Thiel,

1. It was not an accident. 2. It was not a staffer. 3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia. 4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares. 5. His base agrees with him. 6. He will do it again. 7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

My feed is full of so much infuriating news, but I choose to share this wonderful clip (that I have watched multiple times), in case you need a pick-me-up too.
