My latest. "Do not allow your values to be captured and contained behind a screen in a cycle of inactive reaction. Jailbreak your cynicism and isolation, and escape your devices. Bring your hope, rage, and potential into the world."

The President announcing his ballroom’s occupancy as 999 is an oddly specific statement. Almost as if he is trying to skirt venue occupancy rules and requirements. Any DC building code nerds in the chat?

We’re mere months away from “There’s ALWAYS been a ballroom, the White House NEVER had an East Wing, snowflake!”

Mister Matlack cannot offend.

Q: “Most hospitals + people who will lose insurance are in rural areas. If Trump & Republicans are so intent on sticking it to their own voters, why not let them?” @aoc.bsky.social : “That’s the difference between us & Trump. I don’t care if you voted for me, I want you to have health care.”

Charlie Kirk’s Show Is Now the Trump Admin’s Forum for Detailing How It Wants To Target the Left talkingpointsmemo.com/where-things...

Three words: President CJ Cregg.

No money for Universal Healthcare or better roads, but ICE agents, FBI agents, and the military are mysteriously getting paid, and Argentina is getting a $40 billion bailout to appease a despot and his VC oligarch buddy. Where is this “funding” coming from? Who controls the tariff revenue?🤔🧐🤨

NEW: The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. We found more than 170 such incidents since the start of the second Trump administration. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes nearly 20 children, two of whom have cancer.

Our “President” is content with letting the city that “built” him rot for not supporting him fully and unquestionably.

Will they be legally required to turn them on and have them record? And will the footage be stored for the legally required time period in case of need for investigations and subpoenas?

Mike Johnson is not Speaker of the House. He’s the Hand of the King.

i'm sure duffy is just lying here but also i'll say again that they hard time conceptualizing relations between people that aren't strictly hierarchical.

A large new study confirms: Age and gender biases are deeply baked into what we see online

southsideweekly.com/federal-agen... The building is in a 27 million dollar foreclosure filed by Wells Fargo. The next day, Wells Fargo filed an emergency motion for receivership. The fascist regime kindly emptied the building for donor Wells Fargo.

Greta Thunberg has arrived in Greece following her deportation from Israel, after the Gaza aid flotilla was intercepted #GlobalSumudFlotilla She said: “I could talk for a very,very long time about our mistreatment and abuses in our imprisonment.

There’s the good way, the bad way, and the Kemi Badenoch Way.

SCOOP — Pennsylvania prosecutors were alerted to possible voting irregularities by one of MAGA's leading voices against voter fraud. A long paper trail shows Jack Posobiec has been living in Maryland but voting using his parents' PA address for years. From @jsweetli.bsky.social, @slate.com + me:

“Because I Said So” is not a reason for anything. It’s a cop out. It’s admitting you’re weak and desperate. It’s making plain you celebrate ignorance and lionize cruelty. We are not coming to a dark place. We have arrived 10 minutes early.

If you want to know why Charlie Kirk is being lionized by the right it's because performative screaming goes all the way to the top. He even says "Russiagate". The administration is one big podcast.

Lisa Cook after hearing she’s been fired by the Orange One:

Plot twist: it’s all spray painted gold because that man is a notorious skinflint and carnival barker. Come 2029 (we hope sooner), that plane departing JB Andrews at 11:30 am will be so laden with ill gotten wealth it will barely get off the ground.

Oh cool, FIFA made the Orange one a replica World Cup trophy and gave it to him as a gift because we elected Smaug as our leader! He really is an 8 year old given access to too much wealth and never told no in his life.

In Donald Trump's demented mind, the U.S. economy might be doing great, but in the real world, China is soaring past it substack.com/home/post/p-...

If love comes with conditions, then it’s not love at all. It’s emotional robbery disguised as a business transaction.

Vouchers are a scam.

“This sounds like the same story as LAST time!” “Yeah but this time there’s a twist: crypto-collateralized mortgage securities.” “…my god, that’s BRILLIANT!”

Trump's own DOJ website still has a press release up from January pointing out that violent crime in D.C. is at its lowest in more than 30 years.

In Rise of Skywalker, the exchange between Threepio, Finn, and Poe when the Jet Troopers attack, and all three exclaim “They FLY NOW!” in three intonations. All three sound like they’re trying the local slang. “They fly now?” “…they fly now!”

He builds our city but the companies he works for treat him like he’s disposable. 80-hour weeks. Paychecks worth what 20 hours should earn. No sick leave. No safety. No dignity. This isn’t the “American dream.” It’s wage theft in plain sight. Watch. Share. Demand change.

An update from us here at PBS 💙

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent acknowledged that the "billions" in tariffs the president says are flowing "into" the U.S. are footed by importers, who can pass the cost to consumers. Story: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Because implied consent worked SOOO well with sports broadcast piracy.

A former “Alligator Alcatraz” worker says detainees are subject to “inhumane” conditions — packed by the hundreds into cages without sunlight, with overflowing toilets and limited access to showers.

Concerning to sociopaths? No. Concerning to anyone halfway “normal”? All the way fuck yes.

Starving for manpower in late 1944, the Nazi Volkssturm raised the age of service to 60. Seven months later, it was over. This is not a sign of strength.

It's endearing how much fun these guys are having talking through this craziness. www.thebulwark.com/p/epstein-sc...

“California, the fourth largest economy on planet Earth, is this summer using 40 percent less natural gas than it did two years ago to generate electricity. If you wanna know why the fossil fuel industry is freaking out and sponsoring every bad politician on Earth, that's why.”

Either that, or the coffee alternative business is about to boom. And then bust. Chicory root coffee is a fair analog, but if you’ve got ragweed allergies it will make you both miserable AND itchy.
