Always a good time to remind y'all that it was Frank Luntz who came up with the term "climate change" specifically to downplay global warming. He's a peach of a guy.

I don’t think anyone here thinks it’s a mystery who I (as a voter and citizen, not as a reporter or w/e) voted for in 2016, 2020, 2024, will vote for in 2028, but I also find “vote blue no matter who” as hysterically funny because the people saying it often only expect it to go one way…

I’m sorry but whatEVER is going on here there is no way his constituents should reelect him without knowing wtf is going on www.nytimes.com/2026/05/25/n...

solar is so cool man. I climbed up on my shed roof last week and installed a panel to charge my yard tools and now I’m mowing my lawn with power I stole from a fucking star

Can the state of NJ use eminent domain to take over a privately owned and operated detention center?

PBS uses "deal" 4 times—post, hed, subhed. Many US outlets are likewise normalizing reporting about peace negotiations in a way that's deeply weird but aligns with this administration's brand & the fact that I just typed "administration" and "brand" together makes me want to yeet myself into the sun

Hey that's true! I wonder if this logic would also apply to universal healthcare provided by tax dollars rather than being funded by employers?

“I’m not a scientist or a policy expert. But I understand this: The drug that kept me alive for my children was built on a foundation of public investment.” Science saves lives.

For all the endless hoopla about "Democrats connecting with ordinary people," 99% of which is "Democrats must rigidly adhere to the directives of elite reactionary centrists," Steyer here is talking about an issue in the same way that actual people who vote for Democrats do. Good stuff.

The @nytimes.com is whitewashing mass murder again. "An SUV drove into the crowd." No, the SUV didn't drive. Someone drove it. And don't get me started about the journalistic abuse of the word "tragedy." That word had a meaning once. @nateschweber.bsky.social

Basically people who think we are going to colonize Mars so we don’t need to take care of Earth.

so dark

The DOJ dropped misdemeanor charges against anti-ICE protesters, admitting it used improper tactics to secure the indictment. Kat Abughazaleh, one protester and former Democratic congressional candidate, said the administration's attempts to silence them are "not going to work.”

Trump's war is putting massive new pressures on American farmers from rising fertilizer prices and shrinking markets, but #climate change and severe #drought in the US breadbasket is making the problem even worse. Here's the latest US drought monitor report.

“Chud the Builder” was a rising star on the racist right — then he shot a man. Now he’s facing serious prison time. This episode takes a look a genre of right-wing content we’re calling “confrontation porn.” Late stage capitalism vibes are high. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/p...

The most extraordinary thing about this is that *not one* major media source mentions that Trump sexually assaulted the mother of the son whose wedding it is. Can one fathom any other circumstance where that fact would be omitted?

District 20 has had black representation for 30 years. This is probably a mistake on her part. #USDemocracy www.sfltimes.com/news/wasserm...

The only way back to global dominance and prosperity for the U.S. is accountability. If Democrats recommit to liberal democracy, end gerrymandering, expand the Supreme Court and imprison the majority of Trump officials for a variety of crimes, then there is a path. Otherwise, party's over for good.

Does Trump mean this Ken Paxton? • Indicted for securities fraud • Impeached by Texas Republicans • Accused of bribery • Investigated by the FBI • Sued by his own whistleblowers • Accused of abusing office • Tried to overturn the 2020 election Texas Republicans impeached him 121-23.

Autopsies show how hard doctors tried to save babies who died after not getting a vitamin K shot: tubes inserted in their airways, blood transfusions. They’re excruciating to read because they underscore how preventable these deaths could have been. By @deldeib.bsky.social

It’s the socialism, it helps them score points

Weirdos.

Some of us were calling “homeland security” ominous in 2002 Some of us were right

Because yeah, he couldn’t have done that.

omg this is insane

Tarrio was convicted of seditious conspiracy.

Truth always comes out.

*taps the sign* bsky.app/profile/nucl... The absurd performance continues.

Yes and: disastrous actions will continue & intensify the longer we leave Trump et al in power. Trump has to go & Congress is the 2nd easiest legal way for that to happen. He has unrestricted nuclear launch authority & control of a shit yourself terrifyingly powerful military force.

We’re about to go into our last hour!! Please join! And even if you don’t, please help us raise the last $30k of our legal bills after our unjust prosecution.

Quite the meltdown: Trump associates are absolutely losing it on their own allies right now, as even some of the president’s supporters are sounding the alarm over what they see as Trump potentially surrendering to Iran.

This is worth reading, for excellent communication & story-telling. “I’m driving less. I don’t want to see the world through a driver’s eyes any more. Before I began driving less, I had long had a melancholic sense that the city lifestyle I lived was cut off...” #UrbanTruth From @irishtimes.com

Still chuckling every time I see this go by

Instead of hacking canvas things like this should be hacked to say everyone goes free

Bicycles are hugely space efficient, which is why they make a lot of sense in congested cities. This video demonstrates why there aren’t traffic jams in bike lanes. Just imagine the traffic queues if every bicycle here was a car.

congrats to jared polis for getting played like a chump

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.
