Today U.S. Senator Andy Kim was pepper sprayed while visiting an ICE facility. If Trump’s gestapo will do that to a Senator, what do you think they’ll do to the rest of us?

Right on schedule.

My fellow cis folks, The FCC is asking Americans to submit comments about whether the TV Oversight Management Board (TVOMB) should create new TV ratings to alert viewers to trans/gender content. Time to be an ally and tell the FCC absolutely the fuck not. It takes five minutes to do.

He's brilliant. Go Colbert! A giant middle finger to the fascist, corrupt corporations and government.

Wow. They’re openly defending the deletion of DOJ records about a man accused in a child solicitation case who assaulted police on January 6. Truly the Epstein administration.

Every American should be disgusted by this.

The omission of Gaza in the DNC's recently released autopsy of why they lost the 2024 election is avoidant at best and dishonest at worst.

A new crop of state laws are “leveraging criminalization as a tactic against trans people,” Kae Petrin reports. At least 10 states have imposed new misdemeanor or felony penalties since 2022—a stark increase in the use of criminal law to target trans people & their support networks.

Even Trump appointees know how disgustingly corrupt this is, and it still has not received 10% of the coverage and attention it deserves as media moves on to other things.

Along with an apology from the IRS, Trump's arrangement would also guarantee that the IRS would never audit any member of the Trump family ever again.

NEW: The FBI wants to buy access to automated license plate readers (ALPRs) nationwide, which would likely allow the agency to track the movements of vehicles—and by extension people—across the country without a warrant, according to FBI procurement records reviewed by 404 Media.

I can see the effects all over the US, through traveling from the west coast to east coast using only local, county, state highway's. This country is in deep, deep trouble. Vacancies not only in retail/office, but also large manufacturing facilities, abandoned farms, and vacant neighborhoods.

Town/city pools are a vital resource for kids during the summer. Sounds like a great opportunity for [a] corporate sponsor to step up and support their community.

I see folks like Todd Blanche, Mike Johnson and Lindsey Graham on Sunday shows. There's plenty of evidence that they use such platforms to lie constantly. Giving them a megaphone to spread their lies is the opposite of journalism which is about seeking the truth. It's irresponsible & damaging.

This article has been tested. It is already changing votes. It can move the needle if enough people read it. Read and share if you agree. This race is important and we have to be smart. open.substack.com/pub/psychope...

🚨Trump just named Marc Andreessen’s wife to the SF Presidio Trust board, along with other MAGA allies & ultra-wealthy tech figures. Meanwhile, the Tech Bros have made it clear that they want to build a “Freedom City” in the Presidio. sfstandard.com/2026/05/14/t...

I guess many of you have forgotten the "dead" lakes in the northeast, I haven't. Look at this map. I've seen the effects of weak pollution controls in my lifetime, both personally and professionally. Dead wildlife and dead water...great! /s

Not good.

This a disgusting abomination. Republicans are going to make hard-working, law abiding taxpayers pay off the thugs and criminals who beat cops on J6 and were convicted of various other crimes. Vote every Republican out of office this Nov. abcnews.com/US/trump-poi...

When people are disconnected from the internet, it can impact everything — access to essential info, how they receive medical care, or communication with loved ones. Whether it’s from the government or natural disasters, you can prep in advance to limit the impact of such shutdowns. 🧵 (1/9)

“I struggle for adjectives to adequately describe the horror that this administration has visited on the world,” said a former State Department official. “It keeps me up at night.” Revisit this story from our series “The End of Aid,” a 2026 Pulitzer finalist.

Noted something a bit odd and wondered if any others had noticed the same. I'm in S CA and I have been out in the sun a fair amount the last few days. I don't wear sun-screen, I'm dark complected and don't burn. I usually get very dark brown, I'm not! My SO says same for them. Anyone else?

Key words: “by the school.” In Hollywood 80 years ago, we had very clear ideas about how to treat HUAC lapdogs and informers. No one involved in this choice should hold a job in education ever again.

Do you ever think about how Trump's posting was this wild new thing in 2015 and now it's just background noise in politics? I think about this a lot. So I read all his posts this year and analyzed them because THE PRESIDENT IS SAYING A LOT OF STUFF YOU AREN'T READING. www.npr.org/2026/05/08/n...
