HUGE NEWS: ICE’s courthouse arrests have been STAYED by a New York district judge. That means that ICE will have to stop arresting our immigrant neighbors on the spot when they show up to court at places like 26 Federal Plaza, 290 Broadway, and 201 Varick. (1/2)

“If I use Gmail to compose emails, print them and take them to the post office, isn’t it unfair that people who just press ‘send’ don’t have to buy stamps?”

🧪 gossip! Apparently NIH director Jay bhattacharya was invited to give the commencement address at a fancy high school in Bethesda. The parents complained so much that he was disinvited 🤭

This popped up before the top of the 4th inning of the #nationals game.

best trend of 2026. boo all these fuckers.

I just can't get past "What do you mean I have to check AAALLLLLLLL my citations?" Like, dude, what? My PhD advisor would have hung me by my toenails on the quad if I didn't know what one of my citations was for.

I'm glad that AOC was able to say this in plain language that normal people can understand.

I am increasingly frustrated with the endless D struggle session about messaging. Your voters are getting outright disenfranchised! Your messaging doesn't matter if you don't fix that! www.everythingishorrible.net/p/if-your-vo...

I cannot stress enough how much anyone who complains about the government spending money to give new parents free diapers should never know one single moment of peace

Nearly 50,000 people in the Lake Tahoe area have been told that their utility will stop providing power to them, because it's redirecting that power to data centers. /1

This is amazing - @kevinolearytv 🤡 is fearmongering about Chinese agents opposing his giant Utah data center… but it’s 2 young local girls in Utah who hilariously call him (and his “dumbass hat”) out👇🏽 Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DYU074V...

I think there should be a windowless room you’re allowed to rent where you go in and build Lego sets you’d never spend 800 dollars on

NEW: We've spent 10 months tracking the outcomes in tens of thousands of lawsuits brought by ICE detainees amid an unprecedented detention push. It's not a cose call: judges have ruled more than 10,000 times against ICE, a 9-1 ratio. See the database: www.politico.com/news/2026/05...

Exclusive: Alleging a “pattern of deception” in virus studies done over a decade ago, the U.S. has proposed a ban on federal funding to a prominent coronavirus researcher whose more recent work has incited unproven accusations that he helped start the #COVID19 pandemic. https://scim.ag/3R7nQx1

Mamdani has demonstrated something that Democrats have largely forgotten. You can't just do good things for voters and expect to be rewarded for it. You have to tell them about it, over and over again. You have to advertise your work in office just as much as you did on the campaign to win it.

When we took office, NYC had a $12B deficit. Today it’s zero. And we didn’t close that gap on the backs of working people. We closed it while funding parks, libraries, safer streets, & public housing. Call it Pothole Politics or Democratic Socialism: We are government that delivers for the people.

not subtle

with the worst energy shock in history taking hold and American democracy in tatters, I know just what to do: a huge tax cut for the rich

The thing about how I write with em-dashes is—as I’ve said before—that I find they help approximate the vibe of my literal thinking in ways commas don’t quite, which is to say kind of twitchy and distractible and inclined to mid-thought asides It actually couldn’t be more human

new zealander everlee wihongi was due to meet with her lawyer yesterday. then ICE moved her to their most notorious tent facility in texas: 3000 people, highest death rate, most sexual assaults. and today, she disappeared off the system. please RT: www.webworm.co/everleehasdi...

Today in Philadelphia: Philadelphia will soon have some of the nation’s toughest local restrictions on federal immigration-enforcement operations after Mayor Parker approved legislation codifying the city’s sanctuary policies and banning ICE raids on city property. share.inquirer.com/rXwXKP

Am I wrong though?

Petition to stop using any version of: Make [noun] [adjective] Again No “Make Science Great Again”, “Science Makes America Great”, “Make Evidence Matter Again”, etc. We actually don’t have to rework the Nazi tagline. We can simply be creative and come up with something better.

The destruction of science, the public health system, & health research by Trump, Vought, Bhattacharya, and RFK Jr could take generations to rebuild. I don’t know what the final toll of suffering, pain, sickness, & death will be as a result of all this destruction, but it will be enormous.

More details on the firing of the National Science Board. The NSF now has no director, deputy director, or board. They have issued almost no new awards in 2026. The plan appears to be to completely destroyed the agency. The details are horrifying and have Russ Vought written all over them.

I agree with Homan, the Pope is welcome to do an ICE ridealong in my Fit anytime

In the dead of night, Senate Republicans passed a $70 billion blank check for ICE while voting down proposals to bring down the cost of health care, housing, food, and energy. We must fight this tooth and nail in the House.

Every time Matt Damon takes on a period role he ends up looking like a third baseman for the Phillies.

We need a labeler here that lets everyone know. ACTUALLY WENT TO THE 2026 WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENTS DINNER

RFK Jr. just said HHS is "cleaning up the risk pool" (i.e., people who are unhealthy) to bring down healthcare costs.

Netanyahu claimed last week that Magyar invited him to Hungary. Today Magyar said that Netanyahu will be arrested if he enters Hungary: “I made it clear to the Israeli PM — we will not back down... If a state is an ICC member and a person who is wanted enters that territory, they must be detained”

The task of de-Trumpification of science and public health will take a generation and a "Marshall Plan" to rebuild. Without a bold, expansive vision to guide us, there is no coming back. Small-bore, poll-tested versions of the future will not help us. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

This is a lazy story, trying to stoke a fight between Mamdani & LGBT NYers. @lindseyboylan.bsky.social will be a GREAT legislator for LGBTQ NYers. Former speakers Corey Johnson & Christine Quinn were tools of the ruling class & not v good for most LGBTQ NYers. gothamist.com/news/mamdani...
