Some Democrats think the party has gone too far left and needs to readjust towards the “center.” Rubbish. Where’s the center between democracy and oligarchy, and why would Democrats want to be there?

Before leaving SoFi Stadium, Iran’s Football Team left a note in the locker room thanking Los Angeles for their hospitality: “We came to Los Angeles with pride, competed with honor, and leave with dignity….. may peace, respect, and friendship prevail among all nations. ❤️”

An important race affecting affordability for millions is totally off the radar. Jane Kim, candidate for California insurance commissioner, is pitching a single payer program for disaster insurance, to align insurance with homeowners. prospect.org/2026/05/14/j...

I actually think they should try to pass articles of impeachment on a daily basis for literally everything he does that breaks that law. Like, instead of pretending it's not political, use it as a vehicle to make it clear just how extraordinarily corrupt this asshole is.

New post! Many Americans hold contradictory opinions on the same policies. Question wording effects can swing opinions by 20+ points on immigration, the budget, and transgender rights. That's a problem for people who interpret polls for a living. www.gelliottmorris.com/p/many-ameri...

Not sure who needs to hear this but the voter fraud rate is a mere 0.000003%. Anyone telling you otherwise is making shit up so they can take away your right to vote.

This all of it

Joker 30 ball. Nails a 3 to put the Nuggets up to their largest lead of 18. He's played just 23 minutes. Torching the Clips.

WTF

Morrison: "Congress cannot be complicit in facilitating these lethal operations & occupation of our cities. We're standing here as a united front today, pleading for our Republican colleagues who control the Congress & who took the same oath to defend the Constitution we did to stand up & stop this"

Imagine how much they’d be lying about what happened without all the videos showing it from multiple angles.

We are not the first people, or the first country, to suffer under a tyrannical government that does not respect our lives, or our rights. There is a method for how to effectively resist, and eventually topple, such a regime. We can learn from others who came before us. This is my favorite guide.

The NBA postponed a game because the United States government is killing its citizens. Can’t emphasize it enough.

Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system against your opponents is an authoritarian tactic. The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her.

I don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.

@zialcita.bsky.social 👋 stopping by to share my appreciation for the Denverite article on Neighborhood groups. Interesting and useful info on how some leaders are working to increase engagement. Thanks.

if i were a would-be dictator whose only civilian check on power had been consumed by total-complete partisan loyalty, something i would definitely do is call an unprecedented in-person meeting of the only people who could stop me and then proceed to illustrate why they should stop me

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

Omg lol

Steve Silberman is so pissed about this Tylenol bullshit that he's screaming from the afterlife he didn't even believe in. Increased rates of autism are due to testing, a broadened definition, and greater awareness. It's not vaccines. It's not Tylenol. It's like his work never happened.

It will never not be amazing to me that journalists and other people in positions of public influence willingly stay on a site that is being openly manipulated on every level by one of the worst human beings on Earth.

"Healthy debate" = when I criticize you "Cancel culture" = when you criticize me

Good morning girls and boys (among others)! Here in Chicago, we're girding our loins for whatever's coming this week and plan to... Be loud. Take care of our neighbors and friends. Gum up the works wherever we can. Video everything we see. And not take the bait on being violent. #Resist

How delightfully selective bodily autonomy applies to vaccines but not wombs. Apparently the Constitution protects your right to spread measles but not to choose motherhood. One can only admire such principled inconsistency. Freedom means infecting babies, tyranny means reproductive choice.

I know, I know, but: The president of the US saying, literally, "we're going in" in reference to sending the military to an American city for no reason beyond terrorizing the local population should be the most immediately impeachable shit imaginable

read trump's new executive order on domestic military dplymt + vigilante "portal." one of the reasons i am happy to be an independent journalist is so I can say that this is crazy, fascist, brownshirts shit without getting pulled into a meeting with PR for "opening us up to criticism from the right"

this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like

May this portion of the dissent by Ketanji Brown Jackson haunt John Roberts forever and be the final word on his tenure as Chief Justice.

The first planned migration of an entire country due to climate change is happening! Tuvalu, a Pacific island nation, is at risk of being submerged under rising sea level, so it has signed an agreement with Australia to allow 280 Tuvaluans to settle in Australia as permanent residents each year.

Here’s the bottom line for what’s going on with Grok - if the owner of the website is putting his thumb on the scale hard enough for the chatbot to turn into Goebbels, you should be deeply concerned about what he’s doing to the algorithm that you can’t so easily see, and what it’s doing to you

There is no such thing as an overreaction with what has now happened. This is the line in the sand. Every red hat who supports killing Americans is a traitor.

So proud to be a part of this amazing morning. Location ocean beach San Francisco #nokings

This isn’t about Brown versus white. This is about us fighting fascism. All of us. This is about them trying to keep their power; the power over you & me. They create conflicts to distract us from what they do & it’s all by design by them. Protect your neighbors. No family should ever be separated.

not the main issue here but i'd really appreciate it if democratic politicians spoke out in support of big-city life and culture with the same energy and reverence that all politicians have for small towns los angeles is "real america" and so are all the other big cities the president hates

it is jarring to know in detail how many people, including many senior elected officials, simply don't care how millions of people in and out of the US will unnecessarily suffer and die for the second time in five years
