"I was just wondering if you wanted to HANG out with me and smoke weed and fill our bellies with DIET soda and play Burnout Revenge for the PS2."

If I had a nickel for every time a Democratic Senate candidate out raised their GOP opponent, only for them to lose in the end, well, I'd have enough nickels to pay Iran to go through the Straight of Hormuz.

What's this?! A resting place for deceased humans entirely devoid of bees?! Millions of burrowing bees ought to put a stop to that!

If JD Vance gets excommunicated, he should learn it from Danhausen.

NEW—I got an exclusive excerpt from a USAID whistleblower's new book that made me gasp multiple times. It details Trump's dismantling of the humanitarian aid agency & his team/DOGE's shocking ignorance to public health. 'Into the Wood Chipper' by Nicholas Enrich is out tomorrow. Read excerpt here:

Doordash Grandma = Republican billionares like Trump want to end retirement, and have us all work ourselves to the bone until we die.

Yeah, I think it's good todo this actually. As exhausting as it can be, we have to remember that a lot of these folks, in media, in government are gladly buddy buddy with people who want to trample your rights, and representative government.

i do want you to imagine, you know, for shits and giggles, what the media coverage of a democratic vice-president absolutely eating shit on not just one, but *two* incredibly important geopolitical events in which he was ostensibly the most important american in the room, all in the same weekend

the fuck is the literal Secretary of State and supposed national security advisor doing at a moment like this

Marathon talks? Compared to what? It took years for Obama to deliver a detailed Iran deal. The Trump admin are packing it in after 20 hours. (H/T @bgrueskin.bsky.social)

Again there's simply no comparison between the scope, scale, & tone of the JOE BIDEN EPICALLY AND INCOMPETENTLY FAILED IN AFGHANISTAN coverage of August/September 2021 & the "just the facts, very measured" reporting of what's going on with Iran & Trump now.

Oil execs spent a lot of money to re-empower the president who in his first term escalated with Iran, undermined U.S. alliances, badly botched the one real crisis he faced. and had a long record of failing in business then screwing over partners. They got what they wanted, why are they complaining?

Same kind of attitude that leads to bad parents going "My sweet kid can't have done that!" When they do some heinous stupid crap.

it’s really striking how much we are now living in a normalized situation in which there’s the actual world and then there’s the narrative of the world that exists to allow the markets to keep functioning and these are not the same things even a little.

I've been thinking about this, just another thing about our history that he has torn apart and defecated on. A horrible stain of a human.

I’m still in awe over all the dumb fuck law firms, tv networks, and universities that caved to Trump. More or less everyone who has stood up to Trump has won and everyone who didn’t has suffered an endless series of humiliations.

I remember a decade ago when Scott Walker had taken the Wisconsin Supreme Court and insured a red Wisconsin for the rest of our lifetimes. We can still turn things around, we can still make the America we want for everyone.

But abandoning Bagram was a world historical humiliation

Surely they won't come to Charleston... Oh wait.

Someone with the handle @velocity69.bsky.social is sharing a video with the caption: "The highest quality video of the moon was just released… so beautiful * Artemis II" It's gone viral, but it's not from Artemis II. If you've shared it, you might want to un-share.

Mexico’s overwintering monarch population grew 64% this winter, with butterflies covering their largest area of forest since 2018. The recovery remains fragile, but suggests there’s been a positive impact from conservation efforts in the butterflies’ core habitat. buff.ly/XoPKQ9d #ShareGoodNewsToo

CBS News is laying off national environmental correspondent David Schechter, reportedly leaving no one at the network dedicated to covering climate change. Don't look up!

Once again, @booker.senate.gov they are not good if they are not willing to say what is right. They are bad. And you have poor judgement if you think they are anything other than craven.

If they are not willing to stand up and say what is right, then they are not, in fact, good people.

every political reporter in America understood one of the major stakes of the election to be exactly this — if Trump won there'd be a huge regressive tax cut for the rich and pain for the poor — and then decided to give more coverage to Tim Walz' national guard record. Why?

Just learned that apparently Artemis 2's Victor Glover listens to the Gil Scott Heron song poem "Whitey on the Moon" every Monday and now I'm thinking about reposting my thread it, from like, five years ago, back when the conversation was about Mars.

reminder to anyone saying "Trump can't do that" and just pay DHS employees without congressional appropriations

I said it back in early 2025 but Elon Musk seizing the Treasury's payment systems and the federal payroll systems from career bureaucrats was one of the most important steps in achieving Trump's coup against our Constitution and no one was paying attention

I had this thought awhile ago and had a silly/neat idea about a sci fi horror movie where a spaceship is travelling where Earth *used* to be and encounters ghosts.

POV: You are an interdimensional alien warlord. You destroy an entire planet and its inhabitants then slip back into your own dimension, where you think you’ll be safe from consequences. But no. One man will make you pay for your crimes.

Oh.

Big trucks and SUVs are dumb and we should create economic pain points for cars over a certain size.

You should take some cues from a resident of your state. youtu.be/KtQ9nt2ZeGM?...

If the roles were reversed, and a Democratic president lied that the families of soldiers who were killed in a reckless needless war he launched had insisted he "finish the job" in their memories, Fox News would meltdown and Republicans would be howling for impeachment.

Everyone in the media needs to be reminded of their repeated failures until the heat death of the universe.

This is appalling: “Case counts [of measles] in 2026 are more than double what they were the same period of 2025 and more than ten times what they were in 2024.” 4/1/26 … 1/ www.nbcnews.com/data-graphic...

Cool cool

A lot of folks, rightfully, have asked what the point of these protests is if there isn't more concrete action people can take. Well, they seem to be trying to funnel folks into more action. So that's good. Also they seem to be calling for a general strike kinda thing.

This movement is not just about historic protests ever few months. It's a springboard into other ways of standing up for your communities. Learn more tonight.

Good news! OpenAI is canceling so many large purchase orders and datacenter expansions that the global price of RAM is dropping.

If the estimates were right, there were about 9 million people at No Kings rallies today. That would mean this protest was THIRTY TIMES AS LARGE AS THE TEA PARTY PROTEST which we were told, over and over again, was a massively important sign that US politics had shifted dramatically to the right

Heartland Rock has a lot to answer for.

This is great because it's a different version of the "real American" garbage that Republicans and Fox have peddled for decades now.

If you think No Kings is too vague or insufficiently radical, I sincerely encourage you to go to your local No Kings rally tomorrow and hand out flyers/zines to recruit folks to your org/cause. It's a perfect recruitment event! Thousands of people eager to DO STUFF! Get out there!

And sink the party as a whole. “Republicans, the party against cancer and Alzheimer’s research and cures” is a devastating, devastating national ad and brand campaign. (And scientists should be ready to run that campaign.)
