Trump Requests $1.2 Trillion To Have https://bit.ly/3RjdlH1

1. What I found in Trump's new 113-page financial disclosure report. It doesn't look good.

The restoration of Barbara Kopple’s HARLAN COUNTY USA (1976) is coming to Criterion 4K and Blu-ray Aug 25! www.criterion.com/films/777-ha... #FilmSky #Criterion

Ring the bell because for the first time ever: Jim Cramer is stunned silent. Just like the rest of us, he’s seeing the President commit insider trading right in front of our very eyes.

1) the pathology that translates “let’s be sure to nominate effective democrats” to “bashing democrats” should be studied 2) how are you going to defeat fascists and oligarchs by electing people who do not want to defeat fascists and oligarchs, my good Mitch?

Dems are polling crazy high based on the flaming catastrophe that is Republican fascist rule, so primarying as many of the bad weak complicit Democrats in favor of good determined angry ones has rarely if ever been more crucial

“Someone with a 1-hr car commute needs to earn 40% more to be as happy as someone with a short walk to work. On the other hand, if someone shifts from a long commute to a walk, their happiness increases as much as if they’d fallen in love.” #CityMakingMath 50 reasons for more walkable streets.

"Neither former President Barack Obama nor Joe Biden traded stocks or bonds while in office..." www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Louder for the “left” NIMBYs in the back “This shift is driven by a surge in supply. More inventory is still on the way, with peak units expected to deliver by the end of (the second quarter).”

I am not worried software is suddenly going to decide it wants power over humanity. I am worried about what people who already have power over humanity can do with that software.

Let's be clear, I am the ONLY candidate in this U.S. Senate race who is an elected union leader. I'm in my second term as chapter president with MSEA-SEIU Local 1989 where I represent adjunct professors at all of Maine's community colleges and before that, I was a dues-paying member for years. 2/

Today is May 1, International Workers' Day. This photo is from 2023. The fight for workers' rights isn't something that I just started doing with my campaign, it's a commitment that I've had for years. 1/

Exactly this. HIs argument is tough to take at face value as large events always rely on "mutual aid" from other law enforcement agencies... JUST LIKE WHEN LAPD WENT TO PARIS IN 2024! Also as the councilmembers note, the feds are in charge of all the venues, which should free them up quite a bit!

Something about LA just doesn't add up. Cost to do curb ramps per corner: Beverly Hills - $10,000 Caltrans - $15,000 City of LA - $50,000+ Why does basic infrastructure cost so much more in LA compared to surrounding cities or even our state transportation agency!?

Still thinking about this.

Happy May Day everyone and don't forget --

This is a bonkers choice for an Arrowhead Water ad. Despite what the ad copy states, Arrowhead water did, in fact, change. And they changed because they had to. So to make an ad that says "Some things change. Others never have to." is a weird choice... and a lie? www.latimes.com/environment/...

Happy May Day Hit the streets today Wealth tax 2026 and forever www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/confiscate...

I wrote for @brightwalldarkroom.com about the satirical softcore of WILD THINGS, an orgy of knotty/naughty camp noirotica that both satirizes the Cinemaxxxing of '90s erotic thrillers AND delivers a true erotic thriller that’s genuinely, toxically sexy. www.brightwalldarkroom.com/2026/05/01/w...

When Harry and Grogu Met Sally

The "no-cost Olympics" is a myth. It cost $30k to send three LAPD SWAT officers to Paris and London for 2028 Olympic Games "research travel." It's one of many trips made by the department and city officials over the years in the lead-up to the Olympics. All paid with city money!

7. Put another way, agents of the government want to prosecute Cole Allen for a "shooting" that appears to have been committed by agents of the government.

"Just as Hitler’s failures led him to resent the German people ever more strongly and destructively, we can expect Trump’s growing frustration to result in ever more nihilistic and destructive actions as his term moves toward its end."

this is worth watching in full just to understand who is in charge of the DNC right now. just an archetypal evasive, lying politician with zero respect for his audience.

Call me when the NYT is ready for a "12 Bitches Who Were Right about Everything" piece.

like, if you examine musk's record of charitable giving it's almost impossible to find a donation that isn't somehow directly beneficial to him... it would be a pretty shocking record even if he were only modestly wealthy, and not like the wealthiest dude alive

Now here’s a guy you could sell some magic beans

cars cost too much money for all of us in cities. even when EVs proliferate, which will be better for the air we breath, they will need lanes that are too wide, too much parking, and do too much destruction to our infrastructure. they are guests here and should be treated as such.

The White House Correspondents’ Dinner wasn’t at the White House. It never has been, and should never be. But somehow, the key takeaway is to demolish historic structures and build a $400 million ballroom in the White House. Make it make sense.

Reminder that @nithyaforthecity.bsky.social is on BlueSky and is running for mayor to the left of Karen Bass and deserves your attention!

“And I looked dumb as hell believing in fairy tales and wishy-washy promises.” Yeah, girl, you do look dumb as hell. Now what??

why would you think this

The merged Paramount/Warner Bros company will be 49.5% owned by foreign interests (including the Chinese), and 38.5% owned by Middle Eastern countries Brendan Carr, who was positively apoplectic about foreign ownership of companies like TikTok, won't make a peep about it because he's a hack

incredible how the entire thing collapses on top of Maher with a mere "like what?"

"If we wait for the hyperrich to finally realize that their fates are tied to ours—for their children to contract measles, or for them to get cabin fever in their apocalypse bunkers—it will be too late for many of the rest of us." - @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social www.bostonreview.net/articles/a-y...

So the most capable model randomly deleted an entire company database, hobbling the entire company, and the rest of the AI models are less capable? Got it.

An official adviser for the First Lady is on television urging a private company to fire an employee over what he said, then yes, it is absolutely a free speech issue. But if "half the country disagrees with them, they should be shut down" is the new standard, let's talk Fox News and the rest.

Remember when Reagan got shot at the DC Hilton and his entire administration and the right wing ecosystem demanded taxpayers build him a $400 million ballroom

They already absorb all of our tax money to brutalize us & the resulting settlements rob us of even more after that and you want them to pay even LESS money into the system when saying their FIRST $100,000 indicates their pay is already so high that they routinely bathe in coins like Scrooge McDuck?

Literally we spent the last six months being told private donors were paying for this thing

Great, the last app I still wholeheartedly enjoy is for sale. I’m sure this won’t end badly.

In case you missed it, I solved our gun violence problem.
