This week, Trump filed a financial report required by the Office of Government Ethics. It’s a roadmap to how he is personally profiting from the powers of the presidency. Please share and spread the word. youtube.com/shorts/Iyf0c...

Medics in Nabatieh, Lebanon, continue to aid residents amid the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hezbollah that has displaced over 1 million people. At least 100 medical volunteers have been killed, according to Lebanon's Health Ministry. https://wapo.st/4tzz37e

Really underestimated how much of my adult life would be spent thinking, “that’s not right” and “he shouldn’t be allowed to do that!”

I rarely say “major breaking” and rarely put out these video hits, but this is pretty major.

“BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) — Tens of thousands of Argentines flooded the streets of major cities nationwide on Tuesday to protest funding cuts by libertarian President Javier Milei to the public university system that represents a near-universal point of pride in this crisis-prone country.”

Pretty cool, 65,000 retirees in Connecticut will now have the choice of taking traditional Medicare restored, after a forced mandate into private-sector Medicare Advantage plans was rolled back. prospect.org/2026/05/13/r...

It's this simple: Government officials shouldn't be making rules that govern businesses that they or their families OWN. But time and again Trump admin officials are caught doing that. More corruption from the most corrupt admin in history.

Billionaires suck in countless ways, but here I am preparing to vote Tom Steyer in California's governor primary. I disagree with him on several important issues, but he seems the best of Democratic bunch. I'm worried that Dems are going to divide and let Trumpists conquer.

Chris Hayes: “They want a new Jim Crow. They’re very explicit about it. They’re hard at work trying to make it happen, and now they have a blessing from the Supreme Court.”

Because of course he did. newrepublic.com/post/210174/...

There was never once a point where, under Obama, there were enough votes in Congress to "Codify Roe". Also note that "codifying" it is no magic wand. The Voting Rights Act was codified, and the Supreme Court gutted it anyway. The SCOTUS would have gutted a "codified" Roe anyway. Please stop this.

Irrigated corn for ethanol withdraws 40 times as much water from aquifers as all American data centers will collectively consume onsite in 2028

Corn ethanol serves no purpose and is purely a handout to farmers. It costs more and emits more than normal petroleum. And it takes up half as much land area as all urban and suburban land in the US. If we replaced the land with solar, we'd get 3x as much power as the US uses.

it is not judicial activism when it is going after what scalia called a “racial entitlement.” you know, voting rights.

On Israel/Palestine, @sanders.senate.gov and @vanhollen.senate.gov are the voices of moral authority and reason in the US Senate.

Free speech must include the right to speak out against genocide. It is absurd that the Trump administration continues to trample on a basic right our nation was founded upon in order to defend a foreign military from criticism.

📌Barack Obama was targeted 11 times in assassination attempts during this two terms. I bet you don't remember any of them because they were handled through proper channels, professionally, and he isn't a whiny bitch.

"Do the Green party have a problem with antisemitism" @zackpolanski.bsky.social : "I don't think it has any more of a problem than any other political party or in society, & far too often I see Labour politicising this.. antisemitism & criticism of the Israeli govt are 2 different things"

The *intro* to the indictment against SPLC “speaks about millions of dollars….used to pay informants,” but when u get to the “actual charges, the amounts dwindle to…$13,905 [total]… No explanation has been given…4 the huge discrepancy between the introductory language…& what is actually charged.“ 1/

As an infectious disease specialist, I’d urge @mayorjacobfrey.bsky.social to listen the experts, and in this case, the majority of the council. Decriminalizing possession of clean needles and syringes helps us prevent incurable diseases. You have experts you can turn to. Listen to them. Don’t veto.

Database world trying to build natural language query systems again – this time with LLMs

Do we really have a constitutional republic, with elected representatives making decisions on tax and spend issues, when an imperial president can just take our money and buy an airline? We don’t have a govt functioning with the consent of the governed - we have one man run amok.

Today is earth day 🌎 A great reminder that caring for the only planet we all call home should never be political. We must all do our part to protect our home - and no action is too small. @usatoday.com shared a few simple Earth Day tips worth checking out. #everydayisearthday

There's actually a fun story behind this: the guy who was NYC superintendent of school buildings from 1891 to 1923 was an architect who believed in holistic learning, and wanted to inspire kids to rise out of poverty by giving them a sense of the possibility of granduer through construction.

Here's Jeffrey Epstein and Peter Thiel (JD Vance's patron) discussing their plan to create chaos in the US as a way of grabbing more power and money for themselves. From the DOJ Epstein files.

This moment demands a reset. J Street is calling for the U.S. to end unconditional financial military subsidies to Israel and to move towards a relationship where we treat Israel like any other ally. 🧵 1/6

Arthur J. Finkelstein, American pollster, political consultant, with his client Netanyahu's recommendation brought Orbán to power One of Finkelstein's most important devices was making Soros public enemy No.1 www.bbc.com/news/world-e...

As we await the Hungarian election results, it’s worth remembering that Orban first rode to power using the same antisemitic Soros conspiracy theories that fuel MAGA. The US consultant who gave him the idea (Finkelstein) got his start selling Goldwater and then Reagan in the US.

Marianne Szegedy-Maszak wrote this a few days ago and totally nailed how this could happen. (Also she's off to Budapest this week and what a fun trip that will be!) www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

George Soros living long enough to witness Orban's humiliating defeat is the cherry on top.

I think I know what people *mean* when they say this war is being fought with “tactical competence, strategic incompetence.” And i don’t entirely disagree. But, also, they hit a girl’s school. Read the room.

"By week one, I was already tired of his anti-rich, pro-Samaritan bullshit. I wanted to take a course in Christianity, not liberalism."

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.

This whole "Crime as a Service" trend is really under-covered – it's widespread across Europe. Enemy intelligence agencies don't need secret agents or embedded saboteurs any more, they just need to find some idiot 16 year olds on a Discord who'll firebomb an ambulance station for pocket money
