“When we boot up the data, it’s obvious the main reason Harris lost…is that 2024 simply had too much inflation-induced anti-incumbent sentiment for the incumbent party to overcome. This is curiously missing from its main diagnosis. The word ‘inflation’ isn’t mentioned in the autopsy a single time.”

ICYMI — SEBASTIAN STAN (who played Trump in a movie): “It’s not a laughing matter. I think we’re in a really really bad place right now. I really do.” 🇺🇸 He says media consolidation, censorship, and nonstop legal threats are signals he has witnessed firsthand while working.

21 May 1971, Marvin Gaye released his album 'What's Going On'. The concept album told the story of a Vietnam veteran returning to the country he had been fighting for, and seeing only the hatred, suffering and injustice. It is regarded as 1 of the greatest albums of the 20th century. #WhatsGoingOn

People are fed up & not taking it anymore. These data centers are NOT wanted & the politicians who are going behind the backs of their constituents are paying the price. These people showed up, voted out them out & are recalling everyone who was NOT on the ballot! H/T @janettes-999.bsky.social

Mood of the day: irritable 😒

We lost Norm Peterson (actor George Wendt) a year ago. He was aged 76. A consummate performer, he appeared in all 275 episodes of 'Cheers'. Along with Sam Malone & Carla Tortelli, Norm was one of only three characters to appear in every episode. We loved him! #GeorgeWendt

I think TVs should have component/av inputs on them I like HDMI but the fact you can’t put captions on VHS or older media on them drives me nuts

Warrants are supposed to prevent the police from unconstitutionally searching and seizing our belongings — not open us up to pervasive government spying. That's why we're fighting in the courts, Congress, and state legislatures to stop law enforcement from using overbroad digital warrants.

Dogs get mad at the silliest things 😆

Bust up big corporations and tackle Wall Street’s greed. Get big money out of politics. Strengthen unions and boost wages. Pass Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare, and so much more... This is the agenda Democrats need to fight for. It's not enough to simply be anti-Trump.

In 1985, Carl Sagan told Congress that continuing to burn fossil fuels will increase global temperature, cause climate change, melt glaciers and ice sheets, and cause sea level rise. Imagine if we had listened to him them.😒😒😒😪

It doesn’t surprise me that the elections were potentially fixed by Elmo

Just a head's up - I post cute videos of dogs or cats because they make me happy. And with the way the world is moving, I need little bits of joy wherever I can find it and want to share it with you so you can have those bits of joy too. It's getting hard to find reasons to be happy these days.

I wish more parents would recognize the danger things like this present to their children. My granddaughter has grown up with her mother's cell phone attached to her and I gave up trying to discuss it with my daughter. www.cnn.com/2026/05/20/h...

One of Oregon's rural counties has finally stopped trying to secede and join Idaho, in part due to the realization that "Idaho doesn’t really want us." Nobody likes to talk about it but almost every rural county is a welfare case that represents a net drain on state budgets.

For years, scientists and environmental organizations have warned that certain pesticides can cause severe harm to pollinators.

Let’s post what we would do with the 1.8 BILLION slush fund instead of giving to traitors & criminals who attacked our country. I’ll go first I would create a fund to pay for veterinary care & pet boarding for low income pet owners. I personally believe that pets are essential to mental health
