"The Republican appointee supermajority on the Supreme Court did corrode the rule of law on Tuesday, debasing not just the “democratic process” but also the court by short-circuiting its precious processes and undermining its legitimacy — all to let Alabama kick a Black person out of Congress."

I heard about it because a FB friend from high school is a minister there. Somehow we have decided that the vast majority of mass shootings don’t count because they’re “domestic violence.”

We have become no better than countries we used to despise who abuse and neglect those with the least power. Leaving those dying from cancerous tumors to deal with pain with an occasional Tylenol. May these Geo and CoreCivic and ICE bastards catch incurable cancer and receive the same treatment.

If you can help out my old muckers The Hackenbush's get a new powered wheelchair please consider bunging them a few quid. I've known them 30 odd years, they're good people who could use a hand. Thx.

Welcome to my TED Talk on how propaganda beats truth by arriving first. This one is about a new ECFR policy brief from March 2026, and about why most people will never read it. Not because they are stupid. Because they are overloaded.

i heard reading is fundamental

This is Jack. His father accompanies him on the guitar while he sings. He’s also autistic. I’m sure that his father worries about the future of a special needs child. I’m fighting for special needs kids, especially when healthcare is not a ‘right’ in this country. #ProudBlue #Autism

@mrjamesob.bsky.social so the AH decides to finally turn up at Parliament 😡 'Official Parliamentary figures reveal that Reform leader Nigel Farage hasn't bothered to vote for anything in the last 11 weeks.' #LBC

“The Trump regime is at war with the truth, which is why defending it has become so important,” writes @markjacob.bsky.social for COURIER's Stop the Presses.

Tennessee isn’t sitting down. People are flooding the statehouse because Republicans think they can redraw maps and erase Black and Brown voices. They thought wrong. We see the plan. We reject it. And we will not stop until every vote counts equally. #momsky#sheshed

the one thing these people cannot countenance is being Accurately Described. all of this is happening because the internet provided a means for people to Accurately Describe them to their faces. and they lost their fucking minds

"Why do people think the court is too political?" -- John Roberts, political lapdog

This decision was so atrocious that it absolutely destroys their ability to be seen as fair arbiters. We need term limits and we need to completely expand the court and not just a little bit to the point where these losers are a minuscule minority. Add twenty seats to the fking court.

What's happening to CBS News is what the tech oligarchs call "parallel" strategy. Buy an existing institution, gut it, and convert it into a right-wing zombie version of itself. They are doing this to media, government, education, biotech, defense tech, etc. Some call it the "Network State."

Q: Will you apologize to Pope Leo? Trump: No. Pope Leo said things that are wrong. He's very weak on crime. There's nothing to apologize for. He's wrong. #momsky#sheshed

Omg!!! She won! @juliaelliott.bsky.social won the Carol Shields prize! Such a great collection! www.npr.org/2026/06/02/n...

So many people who can reasonably be described as “that little shit” are in charge of so much of society.

This is truly one of the worst things the court has done — both in terms of legitimacy and in terms of the law — since I have been covering the court.

Snowflakes. Bunch of fucking snowflakes. Can you imagine the fights Mike Wallace had with Don Hewitt?

Deeply shameless.

We should just call CBS "Ellison" from now on.

Greedy fascist oligarch Ellison is using Weiss to kill 60 Minutes, one of the great investigative journo shows in American history---all to please dictator Trump & smooth the way for a mega merger. The U.S. has been co-opted by morally bankrupt billionaires. 1st Step: End Citizens United. #Pelley

What if we just started ignoring SCOTUS rulings as illegitimate? Like jury nullification, only bigger.

I am in mad love with Henry Louis Mencken because he said this: “Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.” ― H.L. Mencken, Prejudices First Series He was of course not a Feminist.

There they go again with “update“. The reality is: Callais UPENDED the decades-old interpretation and enforcement of the Voting Rights Act.

Trump's "deals" vs a proper negotiation

Haaland is introduced by her sisters and led by a mariachi procession

Remember, anything that Mehmet Oz says is coming out of the mouth of a major stockholder in UnitedHealth!

Remember that time I made David Axelrod speechless? Haha, good times!

VAN HOLLEN: There was a pattern of false statements MARKWAYNE MULLIN: There was not a pattern VAN HOLLEN: Oh, I would say three in a row in Minnesota is a pattern MULLIN: A pattern of three people is not a pattern

We have secured the release of a brilliant and caring 18-year-old teenage girl held in ICE custody for months. She is now back on track to graduate from High School.

Free statement for democratic officeholders

The court went to GREAT LENGTHS in Callais to explain why that opinion didn't overturn precedent in Milligan, the case that struck down Alabama's racist-as-fuck map. Except tonight SCOTUS says, oops, apparently Callais *does* mean that Milligan was wrongly decided

BLANCHE: Who the president chooses to pardon is not a problem, period IVEY: What's the legal basis for that statement? BLANCHE: The Constitution IVEY: The Constitution does not give him the authority to pardon in exchange for payments. It does not permit bribery

The Supreme Court's Republicans let Alabama's GOP cancel an imminent primary to implement a House gerrymander that a lower court had blocked in 2023 over intentional racism. But now SCOTUS rules it's too close to the next elections for a lower court to again block the map for harming Black voters

Thank you!! I laughed hard enough to release about a million endorphins.
