Is there any valid reason someone would go through so much effort to protect the KKK? Dark days indeed

The right gambled, tried to rig the election, lost, and now it’s excuses and tears. Thanks for everything, Virginia. 🙏🏽

Pervs of a feather.

1/2 The military moving backwards on vaccines reverses a long history that (as @katelynburns.com highlights!) goes back to Washington and smallpox, and has continued to the (almost) present day - see below from Open Evidence (go-to medical AI resource).

Only a matter of time.

If they really do it, great. But transparency or humility have ever been part of the fabric of the place. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/21/b...

Trains were free in Germany with a ticket for the 2006 World Cup.

😂 alliteration for the win!

People are scared of telling the President of the US the truth. This can not end well.

Why isn't this the headline on every paper nationwide? A promise not kept! #proudblue #pinks Our anger has a message..... it will be heard. Release the files. Change the world!

The US military lost more soldiers to flu than to enemy weapons in WW I, 1918-1919. In all, about 45,000 died of flu.

This is brilliant military strategy by our adversaries.

“It’s amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.” - Harry Truman As Trump proves often, the reverse of this is also true. It’s amazing how much you can fuck things up when the only thing you care about is getting the credit.

The Liquor Cabinet pass it along

Oof.

How tragic that you could publish, then re-publish, then re-publish, then re-publish, then re-publish a cartoon like this over and over again...

Eli Lilly agrees to acquire cancer drug maker Kelonia in deal worth up to $7 billion

Honestly in my reporting of this all I could think was: I really think I need people to be a little more afraid of needles. Not afraid of needles, but more cautious of INJECTING RANDOM UNTESTED SHIT INTO YOURSELF. Stuff that isn't just unapproved, but actually banned!

Just a professor standing in front of BlueSky demoralized because exams my students used to get a mean of 83% on prior to 2020 are now failed in large numbers. It seems that their ability to APPLY concepts to new contexts/domains has all but disappeared. I love these students & I am worried.

Another day, another study showing once again that there’s no link between Tylenol in pregnancy and autism—RFK Jr’s claims are not based on data, only his own “vibes”

Clownishly evil sociopaths like Elon Musk, Sam Altman, Peter Thiel, Marc Andreessen, Donald Trump, Stephen Miller, Larry Ellison and Benjamin Netanyahu should be *nowhere near* the levers of global power—and increasingly both the left *and* the right see it. So what do we do now?

PM Carney: “The U.S. has changed we must respond.” Our biggest strength became our biggest risk. Time to stop relying on a neighbour acting like a rival. Canada builds: new allies, new markets, new strategy. 🇨🇦 #cdnpoli #Carney #USDemocracy #Pinks apple.news/ALM46dsyOTNm...

My new thing is that when someone asks me what I think about 2028, I ask them what they think about 2026. Because this November is the next election. Focus. There'll be plenty of time to talk about 2028 after we're done celebrating over washing Republicans out of Congress this November.

🔊 Iranian navy to ship attempting to pass through the Strait of Hormuz: “The Strait of Hormuz is still closed. We will open it by the order of our leader Imam Khamenei, not by the tweets of some idiot.”

Undocumented immigrants contribute $97 billion yearly in federal, state, and local taxes. They paid $25.7 billion in Social Security taxes, $6.4 billion in Medicare taxes, and $1.8 billion in unemployment insurance taxes in 2022. Bessent is galactically stupid. www.cnbc.com/2026/04/15/b...

Trump's bet on Viktor Orban flopped. His war in Iran is massively unpopular. His insanity is becoming clearer even to erstwhile supporters. My latest Authoritarian Watch column for the Nation explores Trump's dog days. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Latest in @theatlantic.com The Ukrainians are now longer pretending that Donald Trump's USA is their friend. Their honesty is important as they seem to understand how much Trump is helping Putin and how important it is that Europe stick together. Gift Link. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Haha 🤣

We saw the nest, thought about it for a year, took our shoes and socks off, and jumped on it with both feet. And now that we're being stung, we're blaming all of our ex-friends for not destroying the nest while we were pondering it.

Trump’s war of choice will cause households to spend an extra $740 extra on gas this year. Meanwhile, Trump used his presidency to boost his net worth by $3 billion. www.forbes.com/sites/danale...

We stepped into a massive hornets nest.

Imagine being an employee to an executive team that views you as a liability they are trying to replace…

Your favs / unfavs are through the fucking roof, Your Holiness

Secretary Hegseth has become emblematic of how incompetent this administration is.

Death rates for cervical cancer in the United Kingdom have fallen by 80% since 1950— Cervical cancer death rates among women in the United Kingdom have fallen by around 80% since 1950. You can see this reduction in the chart. This progress happened for a couple of key reasons.

Over the past week, the president posted an image of himself as Jesus, the vice president challenged the pope on Catholic doctrine, and the secretary of defense quoted the speech of a fictional hit man and presented it as scripture.

lmao

He is only religious in that he thinks he is God and wants to be worshipped and obeyed.

The minute Trump goes after you online, you and your family get death threats. Wash rinse repeat. Police investigate bomb threat at the home of Pope Leo's brother www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

The world has become the 1980’s video game “asteroids”

The same people who argue with climate scientists about who knows more about climate are naturally going to argue with the Pope about who knows more about Jesus.

what’s funny about this is that tarantino wrote this “ezekiel 25:17“ for the film. it isn‘t actually in the bible. publicwitness.wordandway.org/p/hegseth-bo...

I'm gonna guess that the new book about Vance's faith journey will mention nothing about the fact that Vance's conversion to Catholicism just happened occur the same year he got his first big check from Peter Thiel.

Wow, who would have guessed alienating the entire world would have consequences

Political relationships with Trump just jumped over to toxic.

The best thing Jeff Bezos ever did for the world was freeing up Mackenzie to do good things.
