My latest: I wrote about Trump's Golden Statue. And as a former Christian, let me hold y'all's hand when I say...the Trump figure is not the modern version of "golden calf". If you know your Bible, the statue represents something far worse. karenattiah.substack.com/p/trump-is-n...

Tlaib is introducing a War Powers Resolution to prohibit US military activities or support for Israeli military activities in Lebanon (where Israel has displaced over 1,000,000 civilians and systematically ethnically cleansed entire villages in the south) and Gottheimer decides to lie and say this:

Josh Gottheimer should be censured for what he said about Rashida Tlaib today, or at the very least condemned by party leadership, but he in all likelihood won't be.

Don't all these guys love Snyder's 300 which makes Greece look like one big Power Rangers rock quarry

as many jews on the left have said, over and over again these past few years, anti-zionism isn't antisemitism except when it is. this is what swapping in "zionist" in the place of "jews" looks like. and this is what many folks are doing when they claim they're just condemning zionism.

Hours after ICE arrested Israel Makoka and his younger brother, Max, as they boarded their school bus in Diamondhead, Mississippi, Israel found himself in a living-room sized cell with 25 men and a single exposed toilet. He slept on the floor that night, using his shoes for a pillow. Their story:

I honestly think this is overthinking an election decided mostly by fundamentals again.

Trump’s announcement did not mention that developers have been struggling to build a refinery at the 240-acre Port of Brownsville site for almost a decade. Learn more: news.oilandgaswatch.org/post/trump-r... Watch video: youtu.be/_D4Hy5uxPIc @texassierraclub.bsky.social @anothergulf.bsky.social

Saw an AI bro refer to "brain-only writers" lol

Early results in the West Virginia Supreme Court race: Flanigan, a GOP lawmaker, is leading a GOP-appointed justice by a wide margin for now. Who is Flanigan? He has spoken up *against* some of the GOP’s culture wars recently. My brief write-up (boltsmag.org/your-state-b...):

The Tennessee Speaker of the House will remove all Democratic Caucus members from standing committees and subcommittees as punishment for their redistricting protests. Democracy dies in Nashville.

Are we supposed to believe SCOTUS read 107 pages — 26,000 words — conferred, voted and wrote a dissent in half an hour? The fix was already in. www.al.com/news/2026/05...

Trump goes on social media conspiracy posting spree nordot.app/142695946615...

BREAKING via Ralph Chapoco: The U.S. Supreme Court Monday vacated a 2023 ruling blocking use of a congressional map the courts ruled as racially discriminatory, which could open the way for Alabama to use new district lines this year.

The Mississippi Legislature no longer has to redraw its state supreme court maps to create a majority Black district after a federal court vacated an order requiring the 38%-Black State to create a new map that complies with the Voting Rights Act of 1965. buff.ly/uPtqbCp

here we go again, the new york times calling an increase of 115k jobs under Trump "solid" while it called similar or considerably bigger gains under Biden "disappointing" or "weak"

The European Commission (@ec.europa.eu) has updated the top follow buttons on its web page. Mastodon and Bluesky are in, X is out. commission.europa.eu/index_en

The Republican Party has effectively ended the Voting Rights Act because they want to keep a dying pedophile in office for the rest of his life.

Breaking: Tennessee Republicans pass new 9-0 gerrymander after SCOTUS destruction of Voting Rights Act eliminating state’s only majority-Black district & last Democratic seat. Splits Memphis, which is 63% Black, into 3 districts to disenfranchise Black voters. Quite literally a return to Jim Crow

The French still got it

The world’s richest man is also the thinnest-skinned man the world has ever seen. Imagine posting constantly, at all hours of the day, and then also posting through a variety of burners — including every member of your family? — to defend yourself.

RESULTS from Texas: The school district of Grapevine Colleyville, near Fort Worth, drew national attention after conservatives running on an explicitly Christian message took over the board (archive: www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...). Voters just ousted 3 conservative incumbents tonight.

I won’t pretend I’m not enjoying it but it’s probably not a great sign that it’s mostly the Jewish RW influencers (Shapiro, Raichik) who are telegraphing money problems

after the tucker subscriber news starting to doubt squeakys audience numbers as well lol

returning to a pre reconstruction amendments state of affairs but with 21st century surveillance •_____•

Biden inherited an out of control pandemic from Trump, quickly got it under control, then presided over a historically strong job market and rising wages. His economic stewardship was envy of the world. Trump on the other hand is now poised again to leave his successor a flaming bag.

I celebrate each and every detention release that I learn about.

democrats: we're waiting for our good friends the republicans to wake up and turn on trump republicans: we're indicting james comey for an instagram pic and trying to get disney thrown off air cause jimmy kimmel talked shit about us

How much money does the Department of the Interior have just sloshing around that it can make payouts like this? (And what did congressional appropriators originally intend that money to be spent on?)

We’re at the “Marilyn Manson going door to door to shock people” phase of this presidency.

I am truly embarrassed for our country.

What Georgetown Law Professor Randy Barnett is referencing here is Obama's 2012 statement that, if he had a son, he'd look like Trayvon Martin Feels absurd that a prestigious law prof is out here making posts with layers to the disgustingness!

Ending offshore wind projects is obscene on its own. But bribing the companies with public dollars to end them is just so much more so. apnews.com/article/trum...

Australia's government has signed $60m of Palantir contracts. It owns $160m of Palantir shares. But what does the pro-Trump company actually do for us? Internal documents shows how an agency uses it to analyse 42 million call records, messages and other data points

".. the UAE exit from OPEC represents a big win for U.S. President Donald Trump, who has accused the organisation of 'ripping off the rest of the world' by inflating oil prices." @reuters.com www.reuters.com/markets/comm...

i think it takes either extreme chutzpah or extreme stupidity to post “no ideological framework why things happen” from a website run by a far right billionaire that uses it as a propaganda and coordination device for the fascist international

Seems reasonable, think about everything that the attendees needed to deliberately ignore in order to show up in the first place

2,000 professional journalists literally on the scene when it happened and no one knows what is actually going on?

Ah I see the Times has fired up the ol' conservative commentator is sorry generator again.

Wrong. Negotiators were not "bedeviled" by such things from 2015 to 2018 - because a deal was in place to address them. Trump left it. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/04...

Forbes is gamifying news about the horrific mass shooting in Shreveport, LA this weekend, encouraging readers to bet on the likelihood of gun regulation with fake money via its "ForbesPredict" feature. Eight children were murdered in the shooting. futurism.com/future-socie...

This is incredible. Also. Fuck RFK Jr.

These agents "don't know how to operate in these situations,” said former DOJ attorney Christy Lopez. Their behavior “is on par with the worst protest policing and just law enforcement that I've seen from any department, even in their worst days." With @frontlinepbs.bsky.social

"Pancreatic cancer mRNA vaccine shows lasting results in an early trial: Scientists caution that more research is needed, but nearly all of the patients who responded to the personalized vaccine are still alive six years later."

Alex Bores, a former Palantir employee, helped pass one of the country’s toughest AI laws. Now Silicon Valley’s biggest names are trying to stop his rise to Congress.

We have a serious problem with appellate courts not having district courts' backs on things like fact-intensive injunctions. The Trump administration literally lied about the need for ballroom construction, and the appeals court is saying we like to be lied to.

wait i thought prices already fell and that affordability was a hoax

American farmers bet on solar. Then Trump changed the rules.

Can we just stop, please.
