This is a racist country through and through but I still find the capacity to be shocked.

It's not just measles: Doctors are seeing more of a number of vaccine-preventable illnesses. And it's not just childhood vaccines: They're seeing more adults refuse tetanus shots after injuries, and even blood transfusions bc the blood might come from a vaccinated donor. From me and Dani Blum:

Cold news for me

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."

This is truly one of the worst things the court has done — both in terms of legitimacy and in terms of the law — since I have been covering the court.

It is hard enough to get authorization for meds without this kind of bullshit on top of it.

How do we extricate ourselves from this nightmare that none of us asked for and is ruining all of our lives and not even enriching the rich people who are forcing it on us in the name of capitalism.

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

“I have been in combat in Afghanistan,” Scott Pelley told the NYT just after he was fired. “I have been in combat in Iraq. I have been in the war zone in Ukraine multiple times, risking my life and the happiness of my family because of my devotion to the broadcast.” www.nytimes.com/2026/06/02/b...

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

Who is the WE you are talking about here? Because taking credit for this when activists were beaten, gassed, trampled, shot with rubber bullets and arrested by Mikie Sherrill’s state police isn’t the flex you think it is.

The absolute bottom of the journalistic barrel is people in the media chiding Scott Pelley for having the gall to confront Bilton. If you want a job licking boots, become a bootlicker. You’re not a journalist.

For the first time ever I DNF’d a Lisa Kleypas. I had apparently read it once before according to my kindle but I have no memory of the book. Truly awful.

This is Freddy and Ozzy. They are transferring data. Please do not disrupt them until the process is complete. 13/10 for both (TT: whatfreddyretrieves)

Breaking—Today Lambda Legal, ACLU and NYCLU filed a federal lawsuit challenging the Attorney General’s and DOJ's efforts to compel NYU Langone to hand over the identities/sensitive health info of trans youth who received gender-affirming care from 2020-2026. Complaint: www.nyclu.org/uploads/2026...

Why are 99% of crimes done by 1% of people

Today I wrote an insane amount of check that almost made me puke but I have mini splits now and I will never need to worry about this house being a humid nightmare in summer again.

this is my kind of company motto right here

How freaking hard is it not to be a rapist/sex pest/harasser? Like really. How hard is it not to sexually abuse people.

Is Colman Domingo the best dressed man in Hollywood of any era? Discuss.

a head of intelligence with no intelligence sounds about right

Current cancer patient here. Despite having a best-case type and stage of cancer, I only managed to schedule 6 hours of work last week and 10 hours the week before. The only reason to make a rule like this is to kick sick people off Medicaid

Fuck every single one of these soulless monsters. I will never, ever, ever forgive anyone who voted for him.

another day, another story about the administration's war on knowledge itself, all in service of allow its corporate patrons free rein to rob us blind and poison our world www.nytimes.com/2026/06/01/c...

Oh, you can't write a 5-page book report without AI? I fucking wrote 5-page book reports without having read the goddamn book. Get your finger out of your ass.

"We underinvested for years in certain cities and towns, and now it's their time to receive the distributive justice that they've been looking for," she said. "If there's an increase in demand among the most vulnerable, why would you be cutting the budget?" www.wbur.org/news/2026/06...

As long as Democratic leaders are considering approving ICE funding if reforms are made, I won't be contributing. The only sane path forward is a complete termination of all ICE facilities, operations, and agents. There is no scenario where ICE is acceptable. I will not live in a police state.

The only place I have seen anything about what’s happening at Delaney Hall is here on Bluesky.

Throwback to when a TV station in Iceland accidentally aired an episode of Teletubbies with subtitles from the Sopranos 👌🏼

I don’t want fifty percent of a giant grift. I want the grifters held accountable and their ill-gotten gains returned to those they stole from.

It takes strength to look the person who could fire you in the eye and tell them that both they and their boss are giant pieces of trash. You usually don't win, but you definitely leave a mark, and you write your place in history. That's what Scott Pelley did today.

if this is what’s happening, it’s not an “AI” problem as much as it is a staggering product management and security failure

Love that the most unqualified Secretary of Defense in recent memory is allowed to remove qualified men and women from their jobs because he hates Black people and women and Black women in particular. Love to live in these times for sure.

major new respect for Scott Pelley

congrats to jared polis once again

why are we pretending anything is normal

At field day for youngest and nothing makes you feel older than seeing kids you knew when they were actually babies that are now tall, skinny squeaky voiced teenage boys.

Note to media: police arresting peaceful protesters singing “give peace a chance” is not protesters “clashing” with police. It’s the state violating the First Amendment rights of people upset that human beings who did nothing illegal are being held without due process and being fed maggots.

Watching the episode where Sam and Dean play “Jared and Jensen” on Supernatural and omg I forgot how stupid funny this episode is.

This is the message. Any Democrat willing to sacrifice trans folks—especially kids—will sacrifice anything.

I just saw that they are replacing Will Arnett with Nick Cannon as host of Lego Master when it eventually comes back and I don’t really feel like that’s an upgrade.

Spokane may be small, but this is important for everyone, and deserves national attention: The conviction of the Spokane 3 has chilling, far-reaching implications for nonviolent protest, free speech, and democracy. @hcrichardson.bsky.social @maddow.bsky.social @chrislhayes.bsky.social

Me to my teenager all the time in my head. And to my husband out loud.

Of fucking course it was. The universe reallly is unhappy with us right now.

Watching Lego masters again and it’s kind of gross that they’re referring to the openly gay couple as “friends” when they are clearly a couple.

Dying over the guy who stood next to Zuck's yacht and painted it in flames.

The next time a director says bullshit like this, I want the interviewer to ask: "If AI was around when you made your other films, which artists would you have fired?" I mean it. Name real fucking names. Of all the brilliant people you worked with, who do you think doesn't deserve a job anymore?

the fact is these democratic governors do not have actual control over their own state police forces, and that’s a seriously scary problem that no elected wants to talk about or deal with

i don’t want a president who does whatever they want, even if those are things i want them to do. i want a congress who aggressively guards their first amongst equals status and is representative of the people they are elected to represent.
