Looks like the invisible hand of the market to me. 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

Thank you, Chicago. ❤️

This is great and all, @theguardian.com , but can we please do this by law rather than by poll??

Mike Johnson’s position is young pregnant American women shouldn’t have to wait before being turned away to die in the parking lot from an ectopic pregnancy the hospital is afraid to treat

Her what, now?

The word "run" is doing some awfully heavy lifting there.

Oh my God he's SO CLOSE.

Soooo are our officials not allowed to shop in Paris, for example? It seems only fair. US bans Iranian officials at UN summit from ‘shopping spree in New York’ www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Elon Musk did this

Hit CVS today in Upstate NY (and got my flu shot while I was at it).

And it’s a fine one.

Kind of like "Trump 2028"?

@theathletic.com I would really like to privately discuss some of your recent content, which was flatly offensive and xenophobic, but I cannot get through via email or phone, do not have a Twitter account, and your specific writer's DMs are not open on Bluesky. I would...

Just spitballing here, but if this is something you can't live with then fully funded supportive services and healthcare instead of demonization and criminalization would go a long way towards ameliorating it while also preserving and recognizing human dignity which is a core Catholic value.

60 Minutes Australia ran a well-reported 20 minute segment on Trump & Epstein yesterday. But it’s been pulled from the internet. It would be a pity if this link to the report went viral archive.org/details/60-m...

Saying slavery was an atrocity and slaveowners were monsters running concentration camps from their pretty villas is only divisive if you're a racist.

thinking about how the CR that Schumer and Democrats let pass in March blew a $1.1 billion hole in DC's municipal budget, but we weren't supposed to worry about that because Republicans definitely agreed to pass a fix (that has not happened) Now Rs will cheer as Trump deploys troops on the streets

the wild thing about Cuomo is that he *literally* resigned in disgrace, and then after that launched some kind of delusional redemption narrative that makes no sense

a message; a word.

Have they considered pulling themselves up by their bootstraps and showing personal responsibility?

Can we claw back the House's salary and give it to PBS/NPR, please?

Again: I would love for @mattyglesias.bsky.social or some other Popularist to explain how they cognize this. If you chase what's popular *now*, you will be constantly behind the thermostatic swing, flattering what public opinion *was*.

Today I learned that there are two kinds of people in the world: those who when separated from their spouses at the train station in a foreign country hop on the train in the theory they'll meet at the other end...

Timeline cleanse: late afternoon in Florence. You're welcome.

Thank you so much for posting these. I am in NY, beside myself at this and feeling helpless. These helped. Calls to my elected officials - including Chuck Schumer's answering machine 🙄🙄 - are on my list for tomorrow morning.

Earlier today ICE agents hit someone with a car and tear gassed a neighborhood, sparking several fires and disrupting businesses. Immigrants, by contrast, did not.

Leader of @seiuca.bsky.social was almost murdered by ICE. He now faces charges. The union, one of the largest in the US, is calling for a demonstration on Monday.

Every accusation is a confession

Oopsie. (Via @us.theguardian.com )

If only there were some way to show that they'd taken this to heart....

Clearly cutting Medicaid is unpopular, but they're still trying to do it. The reason? Because screwing over hard working people is okay with them if it means catering to their rich friends.

Welcoming committee. (Literally I just went downstairs and came back up.)

The ICC’s chief prosecutor has lost access to his email, and his bank accounts have been frozen. American staffers at the court have been told that if they travel to the U.S. they risk arrest. NGOs have stopped working with the ICC, the leader of one won’t even reply to ICC emails.

Is this in addition to the first 90 deals in the first 90 days or

This is the right approach — speak to them as you would an especially stupid child, spell out their crimes and your contempt clearly.

...one of us is confused about what "maxed-out" means....

92 years ago today, the Nazis raided the Magnus Hirschfeld Institute for Sexuality, where the first study of trans people was conducted, and burned all of its contents. Fitting that today is also the day SCOTUS greenlights the project of the eradication of trans people from society in the US.

Once upon a time in America we rid ourselves of a king who Cut off foreign trade Imposed taxes without representation Deprived us of jury trials Imprisoned people overseas based solely on accusation Overthrowing kings is our duty! It’s in our country’s DNA. Show up June 14th! #DemVoice1

Happy May Day, don’t be a scab.

how's that anti-christian bias task force coming along

Donald Trump isn’t just illegally removing U.S. citizens from the country without due process. He’s illegally removing U.S. citizens who are literal children undergoing care for cancer. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Let me summarize the current stance of U.S. economic policy.

The number of times this year that I have advised my students that I swear to God I will haunt them if they ever file litigation of this, um, caliber....

Via the Guardian and, um, lol no.

I generally really like US political coverage in @theguardian.com . This headline, though, has me dismayed. An "overhaul" would be something more like a change to formal laws and procedures with appropriate input. I believe the word you're after in this case is "abuse."

It’s worth noting that JK Rowling is not only funding meritless legal challenges against trans people until they can appeal up to the court that will back them, she openly gloats about how this is where her money is going. This is what the Harry Potter TV show is bankrolling.
