Many of his voters are fine with this as long the people they hate are suffering. It's actually important to understand this.

My local indie movie theater is currently having a Jewish film festival & I went to see this today, about Israeli transgender pioneer Efrat Tilma. It was so good!! Highly recommend if you get a chance to see it.

While the world’s eyes are on fashion’s biggest night, we’re turning ours to the garment, retail, and warehouse workers who keep the industry running. From true love found on the picket line to a free tailoring school out of a Brooklyn basement — meet the New Yorkers who make it all possible.

NEW: A rule change pushed by White House officials would slash benefits or end support for as many as 400,000 Supplemental Security Income recipients with Down syndrome, dementia and other disabilities whose parents or relatives receive SNAP benefits.

Remember the wave of chattering class solidarity we saw after Sarah Huckabee was politely declined service at a restaurant? Get ready bsky.app/profile/atru...

the irony is that there are many journalists who are threatened and killed for their work globally, except they don’t overlap at all with the people willing to attend the MAGA White House correspondent’s dinner

Every publication should publish the names and outlets of the people who attend tonight because most of us will want to be sure we never make the mistake of listening to them again.

In nine hours the national press corps will raise their glasses to the most racist person in the country and claim it’s a “work dinner” for “source building”

(getting dressed up in a tuxedo to go see an 80-year old racist insult comic who is also a serial sex offender and also responsible for the deaths of innocents across the globe) I'm a journamalist!

Timeline cleanse! This ball mysteriously appeared on my deck & Henri thanks the kind stranger who put it there @darthbluesky.bsky.social

When people say the Swalwell allegations are a distraction from Trump/Epstein (they are all part of the same bigger picture), I have to wonder why these people even supposedly care about Trump and Epstein. Do you care about sexual violence or don’t you? Why do you only care about some of it?

The Manhattan District Attorney’s Office said on Saturday it is investigating an allegation of sexual assault against Rep. Eric Swalwell. www.cnn.com/2026/04/11/p...

Democrats withdraw endorsements of Rep. Eric Swalwell and demand he end his bid for California governor following allegations of sexual misconduct.

Politico: A former Swalwell staffer agreed not to disparage him in discrimination settlement, document shows The California Democrat has claimed that no one on his staff signed an NDA during his tenure. www.politico.com/news/2026/04...

The letter fragment I've seen from Swalwell's attorney threatening defamation bears several things that, in my experience in this area, makes me immediately suspicious of Swalwell and his attorney and reflect meritless thuggery. /1

Yeah so he is just going to keep doing the thing where we are in a constant state of uncertainty, confusion, stress, and tension because that is what abusive people do and the people who are in a position to address this are asleep at the switch.

I think people are allowed to draw conclusions about the American people based on their decision to put this man in office bsky.app/profile/pear...

Muted the livestream so fast. I know there will be lots of jokes but honestly it makes me so sad how he ruins everything good. Trump doesn’t care about science, these astronauts or any of us.

Is this a joke? Whose to say with my favorite chaotic geriatric author

If the estimates were right, there were about 9 million people at No Kings rallies today. That would mean this protest was THIRTY TIMES AS LARGE AS THE TEA PARTY PROTEST which we were told, over and over again, was a massively important sign that US politics had shifted dramatically to the right

A few of my favorite signs from #NoKings today in Harrisburg PA

you don't use violence to build things because you can't control violence. it's depressing that so many people need this explained to them over and over again

For years, when we had conversations about intersectionality, I attempted to include the experiences of children & was dismissed. This is changing. Which is good. What would be GREAT is more people, adults really, being able to hear how much sense it all makes when a child says the same thing.

People on awards shows don't "make it political." The world is political. Our lives are political. Our choices are political. The only decision is whether to acknowledge it.

i don't know how to teach people to be more curious but i think that's what we desperately need

Nobody hates living veterans more than Republicans. Dead veterans they can exploit in videos. But living veterans with opinions and medical needs are literally offensive to conservatives.

this guy challenged a sitting Democratic lawmaker in yesterday's primary, angered by her pro-ICE vote, and he ousted her 70% to 22%. boltsmag.org/north-caroli...

There's been a lot of debate within the Democratic establishment about what rhetoric to use via ICE. Well, an incumbent doesn't lose by 48 percentage points very often—and her vote on collaborating with ICE was the defining issue here.

JUST IN: North Carolina's Dem lawmaker Carla Cunningham gave the GOP the decisive vote to pass a law forcing police to comply with ICE. She said "all cultures are not equal." She just lost reelection BIG in the Dem primary to a progressive pastor & activist, Rodney Sadler. 70% to 22%! Context:

For years on my old blog I published the names of servicemembers who died in Iraq & Afghanistan. No other outlets were. These are the first 4 Americans to die in the Iran War. Capt. Cody A. Khork, 35 Sgt. 1st Class Noah L. Tietjens, 42 Sgt. 1st Class Nicole M. Amor, 39 Sgt. Declan J. Coady, 20

“direct your anger at trump not the democrats” buddy you are severely underestimating the amount of anger i have available to me

we were probably all up last night staring at the ceiling with our own version of the same thought running on endless loop, but mine looked something like this: I hate these people to a degree that feels simultaneously corrosive to the soul, and also the only righteous response to this kind of evil

I'm late Gen X and all I'm saying is Millennials got fucked harder than anyone else. They were raised on post 9/11 American media and government and it's just been an endless stream of shit. And I'm not even talking about the 09 collapse. The wars, watching guns shred schools, social media insanity

Imagine if whether you lived or died depended on whether an old senile and malevolent man got annoyed by a segment on CNN or if there’s another news story about a minor development in the Epstein Files?

Just want to note that 3am in Washington is like 11:30am in Tehran. The American people are the ones he snuck up on in the dead of night to conduct this illegal attack, not the purported enemy.

democrats should internalize that this is what their colleagues think of them and act accordingly

The democrats should walk out. This is just unfiltered racism. There is no point in giving it audience.

That Democrats are still just sitting there through this racist rant is unsurprising but disgusting all the same. We can all see it! You don’t need to be there on our behalf as “representatives” and for “norms”

This is just open racism about Somalis. No other way to describe it.

In a historic year for women at the Olympics, Trump specifically awarded male athletes with the presidential medal of freedom at the SOTU. They never cared about women’s sports. They never cared about women, period.

NEW: Jeffrey Epstein cultivated relationships with CBP officers at the airports he frequented. Epstein emailed and texted with six CBP officers, invited them to his island, visited with them at the airport, and frequently sought to determine who was going to be on duty when he was traveling

ICE deports asylum seeker to Africa, where abuser who bought her as ‘wife’ is waiting to kill her, lawyers claim

The decline of right wing cultural production is just due to the fact that they don’t like culture, they like the signifiers of culture, ie “classic sculpture means white people are better.” They don’t like art at all except for this purpose. They don’t even like the nerd stuff they whine about

Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

"Protesters in Minneapolis. Survivors of Epstein’s sex crimes. A grand jury in Washington, D.C. These are the true leaders of the resistance to Trump’s authoritarian project." Elected officials? To be determined.

There are a lot of people who are going to complain about being unfairly vilified by that halftime show and it's because they know in their hearts they're on Team Hate.
