From reversing their stance on the pesticide RoundUp after meeting with its CEO, to appointing a Chevron & Big Tobacco lobbyist as a senior health official — this administration doesn't have a "Make America Healthy Again" agenda - it has a "Make Corporate Donors Richer" agenda.

"The 42 Democratic votes to advance Speaker Johnson and Donald Trump's surveillance agenda are dangerous and shameful," said one critic of the FISA Section 702 House vote.

The conservative justices talk all this shit about how they are mere faithful "interpreters" of laws that Congress passes. They are lying, but they are never lying harder than when, as here, their response to Congress passing a law they don't PERSONALLY like is "nah, we know better."

Biden accomplished a lot in 4 years. However, today amplifies his failure to make the John Lewis voting act a priority. Mississippi, Louisiana, and Alabama could all be without a single Democrat seat. The game was rigged today, and I truly fear the Democrats are not up to the fight.

We must understand that the Voting Rights Act was not merely about ensuring Black Americans rights, it was about democratizing America. This ruling is not just a decimation of Black rights and Black Americans’ ability to have representation, it is a fatal blow to multiracial democracy.

it won’t be hard to discern to people in the future that the first black president led to a relentless and hyper-radical effort by conservative elites to destroy not only the voting rights act but reconstruction itself.

this is worded exactly right. This country is not just mass deporting people. We are also concentrating people into private run warehouses where those company's are making huge profits from the government for containing people under miserable, unhealthy, and inhumane conditions.

trying not to fall into nihilism but this is exactly right. We are a captured country.

The John Roberts Court has done more to reduce the political power of poor people and Black people while enlarging the voting rights of rich people and corporations than has any court since Roger Taney was Chief Justice in the 1800s. I opposed his nomination in 2005, and I stand by that.

Segregationists are wasting no time

It is so depressing watching everything previous generations fought and died for be dismantled piece by piece. These basic protections and institutions, while imperfect, still pushed in the right direction. We are failing future generations and leaving a worse world behind for them.

The Supreme Court is an illegitimate institution. This remains the case.

People fought for lifetimes for the voting protections that have now been dismantled—and some died in that fight. A very sad day.

The Supreme Court's decision to restrict the Voting Rights Act weakens one of our most powerful civil rights laws.   The Voting Rights Act was born on the Edmund Pettus Bridge. This decision dishonors that legacy.   I'll keep fighting to protect voting rights and our democracy.

john roberts has fulfilled his life's work and fully dismantled the crowning achievement of the civil rights movement. these fucking neo-confederate freaks need to be driven from power forever

Happy 250th

they are just going to burn the world down. monsters all of them. I weep for the planet.

one time the biden administration politely asked social media platforms to take down covid misinformation to save lives and the rightwing ecosystem spent years screeching about the perils of censorship

literally fucking eugenics

MAGA “Christianity” is antichrist. Conservative evangelical support for Trump will be a stigma on that movement for years to come. I have not seen anything like this mass delusion in my lifetime.

He rightly understands a wealth tax is a structural attack on his class's very existence Now if only the rest of us could get that everything he does is an attack on ours

Thinking again about how Mackenzie Scott has given away $19 billion of her $38b and still seen her net worth increase, these are some weird little pissbabies

EAT THE RICH.

By this same logic, Donald Trump bears direct personal responsibility for the murder of Melissa Hortman, the assault on Paul Pelosi, the guy who showed up armed at the Obamas, the attempted pipe bombing of several prominent Democrats, the January 6th rioters who assaulted cops, and many many more.

what a fantastic profile. This part felt so true to life in the arts - "Then, in a moment of clarity, she looked up and said, “I find it hypocritical that some people want to work with him [Scott Rudin] but didn’t want to be the first.”

They shot Alex Pretti ten times while he was face down in the street.

monsters. pure evil.

Thats the level of career focused sociopathy we know and love from the white house press corpse

Shredding and shedding the First Amendment.

Absolute disaster.

there is just nothing but corruption in America now.

Just as a raw politics level, Janet Mills' veto of the data center moratorium in Maine suggests that she ultimately has no interest in running for office anymore

Thanks to the FTC spokesperson who suggests that @wired.com “Stick to computers.” But no.

Gay Americans exist, they are exactly as American as all other Americans, and their history is true American history just like the rest of American history. Ordering educators to erase millions of their fellow Americans from existence is sick, bigoted, and profoundly anti-American.

The fact that John Waters is, at 80, still vital and funny and just as forward-thinking as ever and no one will give him money to make a movie is proof this world is broken.

It's not hyperbole in the least to say Musk purchased a six-month shadow presidency for $280 million and used the power of that shadow presidency to 1. Steal the government’s data, 2. Permanently damage the state’s ability to regulate his businesses, and 3, kill non-white people.

To be clear: These people want us dead. Erasing us from history makes erasing us from the present easier, because if we don't have a past or a heritage, how real can we possibly be?

The attack-the-academy movement was never, ever about freedom and diversity of thought in the academy. It was always going to play out this way. It’s never been “nobody should dictate thought,” it’s always been “WE should dictate thought.” www.erininthemorning.com/p/texas-tech...

MTT was a great musician and a lifelong friend. He championed my music starting in 1971, when he and I and members of the Boston Symphony Orchestra performed my "Four Organs" in Boston and two years later in Carnegie Hall.

There is no way Trump wrote this. This is Miller or some other admin stooge posting under Trump’s name. Which, you know, ain’t great.

Favorite scene in All The President’s Men: Woodward & Bernstein attend White House Correspondents Dinner, hobnob with Nixon Administration officials, have such a swell time that they back off Watergate investigation so they don’t lose their access.

Watching Kenneth Lonergan's Margaret, the 3 hour cut, and not only is it now obviously a masterpiece but it really still hits so hard. Also THE CAST.

This country is fucking insane and evil

we are the monsters

also always fun to look through the spam folder and see an email from your dead dad telling you they want to share a picture with you.

This is monstrous. Just profoundly shameful behavior by our government. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/21/w...

I know nature is brutal but watching a goose look around for its mate that isn't around the pond where they usually are is breaking my heart.

For too long, bureaucracy kept 7 child care centers across our city empty — spaces that should have been alive with laughter instead collected dust. We've run through that red tape. This fall, all 7 will open their doors, bringing an additional 240 free 3-K seats & real relief to working families.
