I hate this timeline.

Deploring Israel's actions as a state isn't antisemitic. Attacking Jews and symbols of Jewish culture in supposed retaliation for Israel's actions is however *textbook* antisemitism and these are not complicated thoughts to simultaneously hold in one's head.

Oh. Stage an assassination attempt, you say? Interesting.

Civilizations throughout history have had to deal with the consequences of a ruler who is a malignant aging despot sliding into dementia. I guess now it’s our turn.

Wow, those Epstein files must be something else! in the meantime, FIFA called, they want their prize back.

This one hits hard.

have you ever read one of my Discworld QOTDs and thought, hey, I should really get around to reading those books? good news! the full series is back on Humble Bundle - it’s Kobo but it’s pretty easily to transfer those to your preferred e-reader you won’t regret it

In case facts still matter…

Street art memorializing Alex Pretti in Seattle. Per r/Seattle, it was painted on a building facing Swedish Hospital in the First Hill neighborhood www.reddit.com/r/nursing/co...

TIM WALZ: I feel you anger. I'm angry. They want a show. Don't give it to them. If you protest, protest peacefully. Please stand with Minneapolis. Know that we will stop at nothing to seek justice. We do not need any further help from the federal government. You've done enough.

Literally a publication for eight-year olds 40 years ago

Look, I'm not "excusing Medicare fraud", I'm simply pointing out the fact that when Republican Rick Scott was caught doing it you silly fuckers elected him to the United States Senate

Bending your institution to meet the prejudices of your dumbest, meanest students is a surefire way to destroy a university. Now any student can just scrawl “the Bible says this is wrong” on any test and skate to an A at the Oklahoma Football Outlet and Diploma Factory.

Terrific

“Trump's much ballyhooed realignment seems fragile...GOP redistricting suddenly very risky”

All the 2nd Amendment warriors are sure fucking quiet about the 1st right now. I stand with Jimmy Kimmel,

Just saw someone refer to Cheryl Hines as The Marvelous Mrs. Measles and 💀💀💀💀💀💀

Marines and DHS arrest anti-ICE protester after children were spotted in chains at the federal detention center in LA

Can you hit repost? Marjorie Taylor Greene doesn't want you to know the name of her opponent but will try every desperate attempt to save her seat. My name is Shawn Harris. I am a Democrat, husband, father, Retired Brigadier General, farmer, and I'm running against MTG. Can you share and follow me?

So am I reading this court decision correctly? We now have 50 micronations with their own laws interpreting the U.S. Constitution wholly separate from one another? But there's one guy with private law enforcement who is immune from all punishment who can do whatever he wants in those 50 states?

We don’t know what the real name of the Director of White House Personnel is, we don’t know what country he came from, he refuses to turn in background check forms, and nobody will ask the president or press secretary about it.

FINALLY Democrats are putting out HARD-HITTING ads. WATCH AND SHARE: #MAGAKidnappers

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

Apparently states’ rights stop the moment women board a plane with autonomy in their carry-on.

Shall I be plain? I wish the bastards dead

Here’s the thing, if they are picking up folks working in the country illegally, I’m going to need to see some white guys also being arrested for employing people working illegally in the country. Otherwise, it’s just racism.

For those who sacrificed all, and the ones who will never forget them.

You have three days, starting today, to leave a public comment with the FDA about, say, why COVID-19 boosters should remain available to everyone and also free. "Individual consumer" is the category you most likely want (unless you are one of the other categories; if so, choose that).

What happened to this RFK Jr.?

BREAKING: This is unusual trading by a politician. Marjorie Taylor Greene bought Palantir, $PLTR, on April 8th. On April 17th, Palantir, $PLTR, was awarded a government contract with ICE to develop ImmigrationOs. Marjorie sits on the Homeland Security Committee. Palantir is up nearly 50% since.

Calling ASD a “disease” is stigmatizing and without basis. Tracking people with ASD in a database is fascistic and terrifying.

Who made this?

Here's the secret of "university indoctrination." Professors aren't doing it. Your little darlings are finally meeting a diverse group of people and realising that the stereotypes you've been feeding them are closed-minded garbage.

I am advocating for due process for Abrego Garcia.

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring *all* removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

i am fascinated by the outright refusal of people in the professional political commentary class to just consider the possibility that there is no plan and that trump really is a braying idiot with the more acute case of narcissistic personality disorder on record

Congratulations to Judge Susan Crawford on her victory, and to the people of Wisconsin for electing a judge who believes in the rule of law and protecting our freedoms.

Casar: One of the most important things I learned is how so many of the most right-wing elected officials break things, do not want services to work, and then campaign on them being broken in order to gain political power.

In 1862, a Union soldier found cigars wrapped in a piece of paper in a field of clover. The paper was a copy of Confederate Gen. Lee's invasion orders. The Southern sloppiness helped the Union stop Lee at Antietam. It's unknown who lost the orders in the field, or if he was related to Pete Hegseth.

Whiskeyleaks Whiskeyleaks Spilling deets with his Signal freaks Is he drunk? Listen bud He’s got Woodford Reserve for blood Oh shit Here comes Whiskeyleaks

It’s worth stating this simply: For literally anyone in the US Govt from 1945 to 2025, Signalgate would require an instant resignation—and a criminal investigation. It would be a matter of personal *honor* to resign. The fact Mike Waltz & Pete Hegseth are choosing to fight it out is a terrible omen.

If only America would protect school children the way it protects Teslas.
