oh shit TN judge just dismissed Abrego Garcia's case for vindictive/selective prosecution www.courtlistener.com/docket/70475...

These 8 Democrats voted to pass a national ban on trans teachers and mention of LGBTQ topics. Rep Henry Cuellar (TX) Rep. Don Davis (NC) Rep. Cleo Fields (LA) Rep. Laura Gillen (NY) Rep. Vicente González (TX) Rep. Marcy Kaptur (OH) Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (WA) Rep. Eugene Vindman (VA)

In a major step towards regaining public trust, the DNC has released its 2024 autopsy with the disclaimer that it was poorly done and you shouldn't trust it.

God dammit, that’s beautiful

This is Calarts. Arguably the best animation school in the US, its alumni include industry legends. The graduating class is booing school president Ravi Ranjan, he's been gutting creative programs and pushing Ai initiatives, corporatizing the school. His secretary is treating graduates like babies.

This is incredibly insane, but also, the official genius plan of Donald Trump and Israel was to install a Holocaust denier as leader of Iran.

David Lynch: People want to explain Grogu, but when you try to put his essence into words, it diminishes the effect his presence has when you see him on screen. Even the name "Grogu" robs him of a portion of his magic. Interviewer: I see, but would you ever lend him money? Lynch: Never.

Orson Welles: I worked with Grogu. Not in film you see but on the stage. Brilliant performer but a cruel disgusting wretch of a soul. Interviewer: Pourrions-nous parler de Citizen Kane à la place, s'il vous plaît ? Welles: yes he did sell out his friends to HUAC, I will never forgive him for that

Greater harms would come later but the entire reason for being of the Biden Administration was to 1) prevent Trump from getting a second term and 2) punish him for the harm and corruption of the first one, and it was such a failure on that front that now this is happening x.com/KFaulders/st...

Texas Children's caved and ended care under pressure in April 2022, over four years ago and they still got targeted by DOJ and Paxton. NYU caved and they still got served with a grand jury subpoena. Caving and abandoning will not save you. You have to fight these bastards or they will destroy you.

The Democratic Party is not a serious party

32 House Democrats joined the GOP to vote to criminalize bail funds. clerk.house.gov/Votes/2026169

The prime directive of liberalism isn't to win elections; it's to not feel bad about losing them. And so what matters to them above all is insisting there's simply nothing they could have done differently to actually win the election, because if there was, then this is their fault, not yours.

to say nothing of how dems are now all aboard "tax cuts! we're gonna be the tax cuts guys now. loooooooove tax cuts"

sometimes they mean "the economy, labor" in regards to the biden admin and even if you decide to be generous and hand it to joe on Everything there, it kinda sweeps under the rug how harris was cozying up to crypto and signalling she'd drop khan, or stuff like spanberger, mills, etc on worker rights

usually what people mean is "dems are better than they used to be on gay rights" and i gotta say, being for gay rights while actively getting worse on surveillance, policing, the border/immigration? i'm not a fan of the log cabin republicans, you know.

when people say "the dems ARE getting better, though", you gotta ask "on which issues? be specific." cuz surveillance and privacy issues have not been one of them! they just keepg etting worse!

One of the most terrifying images in history: Gaza transformed from life into death. Gaza in 2023 and 2026 💔

That statement how most Romans didnt know their empire had collapsed until one day a bridge collapsed and no one came to fix it, I think about it like every damn day

The Purcell Principle means it always too late for courts to fix something racist and never too late for states to do something racist

I got hella radicalized on this researching the YWA Iran-Contra episode. A worse-than-watergate scandal that no one disputed on the merits, it just never got framed as a scandal so the public assumed it was a nothingburger.

Dems and mainstream media are trapped in a doom loop. When objectively scandalous things happen, the media waits for Dems to treat them as scandals and Dems wait for the media to treat them as scandals. Eventually everyone just moves on.

Practicing as a public defender in NYC for a decade is why my position is Abolish ICE and not reform it. I have seen what "reform" looks like in an overfunded organization that feels (and largely is) immune from legal consequences. You cannot reform an institution this broken.

You read about how complicit the liberal media was with the ascendance of the national socialists in Germany and it's difficult to comprehend. The thing is, I see it now and it is still difficult to comprehend. To be this stupid and gullible. To be this incompetent. To be as complicit as this.

*Taps Sign*

inject this into my veins

Happy birthday to John Brown, who knew exactly how to handle the south’s “Peculiar Institution”

Klobuchar giving an assist to the Minnesota Republican Party. Useless. The moderates are useless.

watched this on repeat losing my shit for two nights now

I can't stop thinking about this video since I saw it last night

This is an overturned election. This is what it'll look like. Some technicality is brought up beforehand, the election happens, and if it goes the wrong way (Democrats win) the cancellation of the election is announced after the fact.

Virginia Supreme court has thrown out the voter-passed redistricting referendum, restoring the GOP's seats - the day after Tennessee legislators steamrolled Dems to eliminate the last Dem seat vacourts.gov/static/opini...

My primary thought, as southern Republicans drop all pretense and scramble to grab more power, is that if the rot runs deeper than we thought, so must the needed reforms.

It takes 4 years and 20,000+ gallons of water to grow a single peach tree to its full production size. Most wasteful economic system ever devised.

horrible. this country’s turn away from science based medicine in the name of “wellness” is killing children and will kill a lot more. www.propublica.org/article/more...

So the Feds did more to investigate VA workers who went to Alex Pretti memorial than those who killed him.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio today justified attacking a regime that shoots its own citizens. What about a regime that investigates co-workers bore witness to the killings?

not really an exaggeration to say the Republican Party is a criminal conspiracy and all Republican politicians should be assumed to be criminals until proven otherwise. the fish rots from the head

1. ICE has not paid for detainee medical care for 7 MONTHS The termination of payments to providers has coincided with a MASSIVE SPIKE in detainee deaths. This is a health crisis and a moral crisis. Follow along for details. 🧵

Axios is reporting that Josh Shapiro secretly helped a Republican state treasurer's 2024 reelection bid after the official's Democratic opponent had criticized Shapiro as a potential VP pick, a close Shapiro ally said last week.

whole states have stopped their election processes faster than the Biden administration was able to respond to an opinion that had already been leaked months earlier. i don't mean this as a random jab; republicans just understand power in a way that dems do not.

Many things are bad. Please remember to back up your computer and your cell phone. You will want those documents, those video and music files, all those photos of your pets, kids and other special moments. I know hard drives are expensive. It will hurt more not to have backups. Make three copies.

Happy May Day. They can’t kill us all.
