In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.

Absolutely dying at right-wing radio host Sid Rosenberg getting so angry that Mr. and Mrs. Met hugged @mayor.nyc.gov that he started calling them antisemites and became a Yankees fan.

In a nutshell, Palantir wants Silicon Valley to run our lives through AI and if we were smart, we’d shut up and let them. And we should quit making fun of Musk and Theil.

Palantir put out the most cartoonishly evil statement possible. They’re so arrogant and self-confident they don’t seem to believe their fascistic plans can be opposed. We must get rid of Palantir altogether. twitter-thread.com/t/2045574398...

I was on the @ualberta.bsky.social campus today for the unveiling of this remarkable art installation by Metis painter Christi Belcourt. It’s called In My Grandmother’s Time, and it blends traditional motifs from Metis beading and embroidery with digital technology. And it’s gorgeous. #ualberta #yeg

This is valuable @wired.com reporting on prominent DOGE operatives and their fates. Where are they now? Some still inside our government, sadly for us. www.wired.com/story/where-...

With the rape Academy in the news, I’m reminded of Michael Jay Meyden. 2024, he got only 24 mths for drugging smoothies of three 12 y/is at a sleepover. He separated one unconscious girl, getting caught because another girl didn't finish her drink and secretly texted her parents to pick her up.

At the same time the Trump admin is attacking the pope. They are trying to create a new religion with themselves as the gods. That's what QAnon was also

There are not always such clear warning signs. In this case, they were definitely there. www.pbs.org/newshour/nat...

Trump just publicly referred to the Strait of Hormuz as the “Strait of Iran.” Not only does this look like total capitulation from his administration but I am trying to imagine the GOP/Fox response if Joe Biden had said this.

The only president or major party candidate in half a century not to disclose his tax returns—who fought for years, at taxpayer expense, to keep them private, and lost—now wants the IRS to MORE THAN DOUBLE HIS NET WORTH at taxpayer expense as a part of the systematic pillaging he calls a presidency.

The fact that Mamdani just seems like a cheerful normal guy who's policies are things like "we're going to tax second homes to fund pothole repairs" or whatever and yet this generates panicked responses like "This is basically Stalin's great purge turned up to eleven" is... telling. It tells things.

It's journalistic malpractice to cover the murder of Dr. Cerina Fairfax solely through the lens of her husband's career failures and emotions. In the U.S., every year, men kill ~2,000 women. Black women are murdered by men at a rate two and a half times higher than white women. Read 🧵

Are surgeries on women REALLY reimbursed at 30% lower rates than equivalent surgeries on men? Yep that's the conclusion of our new paper, and the discrimination impacts physician training and safety for patients. Check out the paper (& LMK if you need full text). journals.lww.com/greenjournal...

Pope Leo XIV: Jesus told us, blessed are the peacemakers. But woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic, or political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth.

I’ll never get used to the president being a petty, whiny little bitch

Among many other heinous things he’s said, RFKJ said Black children with ADHD who are medicated should be taken away & “re-parented” all while insinuiating they’re violent because of this. 😒 How many insane tropes can this 🧠 🪱 bitch fit into a single sentence? From this Black poster with ADHD, 🖕🖕🖕

NEW: We’ve identified the man who runs the far-right troll account on X “HowlingMutant,” whose jokes about rape and the Holocaust have earned him nearly 200,000 followers, which include Vice President JD Vance. His name is Alexander Norden, from Rockaway Park in New York City.

Ahem

MONTANA SUPREME COURT: “Transgender discrimination is, by its very nature, sex discrimination,” and is subject to strict scrutiny under the Montana Constitution.

The Fire Rises and the Rage Grows Against The Broligarchs When the Billionaire Class sucks humanity dry, the people begin to rise and burn it down. We discuss the growing revolution against the Epstein class and highlight some of the wins. thelefthook.substack.com/p/the-fire-r...

JUST IN: John Eastman, the conservative attorney who helped devise President Trump's last ditch strategy to overturn the 2020 presidential election, has officially been disbarred, per the California Supreme Court:

Man Who Threw Molotov Cocktail At Sam Altman’s Home Claims He Was Following ChatGPT Recipe For Risotto

I will always find it confusing that some people think a person riding a $2000 bike to commute is a privileged elitist but the guy in the $80k truck that costs $150 to fill is the working class average joe.

Turned on NBC. They talked about “President tipping a DoorDash driver $100”. This woman participated in GOP ads before playing other roles. There is no DoorDash deliveries to the Oval Office. Please exercise proper judgement when consuming news.

For more than a week, Amazon has managed to keep a death at its Troutdale, Oregon, facility out of public view. Workers I spoke to are pissed.

"We just don’t know enough. Are they aliens or demons? Are they psychic projections of our deep-seated fears given a terrible facsimile of life through dark magics? Are the same clowns behind everyone’s shower curtains, or do we all have individually tailored monstrosities?"

Working with a group from the department of agriculture this week and man oh man are they pissed off at the administration! These are folks who grew up rural and many are still farming and ranching along with their govt jobs, in other words, mainly conservatives. I cannot believe they will vote

NEW—I got an exclusive excerpt from a USAID whistleblower's new book that made me gasp multiple times. It details Trump's dismantling of the humanitarian aid agency & his team/DOGE's shocking ignorance to public health. 'Into the Wood Chipper' by Nicholas Enrich is out tomorrow. Read excerpt here:

Another genius Lex Luthor move to show the entire world that you as CEO, who blew $80 billion on VR nobody wanted, are replaceable by AI

"Of course, quitting my job means losing our health insurance, but now I’ll have more time to cure us with my tinctures and homemade vaccines. Who needs a PPO when you have mason jars and an eye dropper?"

Mother’s Day done! #embroidery

why was a married man drinking with young women and inviting them to his hotel room? why was he having sex with women when they were blackout drunk?

We deserve so much better than a lunkhead with money and we need to mobilize. I need help getting the word out. Anyone want to write an op-ed for me?

There it is: A full year of days spent playing golf in just over five years as president. www.pbump.net/outofoffice

The 'kin' of ‘napkin’ means "little." ‘Nap’ comes from ‘nape,' which means “tablecloth.” So a napkin is a little tablecloth. 10/10, no notes.

Happy National Pet Day! These freeloading goobers always make my day!

Hello, I made you a feed of your cats watching the Artemis II splashdown bsky.app/profile/did:...

I’m very proud of my wife for sharing the details she did. I’m disgusted by all of it. She found herself in one of those moments where she didn’t care what she lost if it helped one other person. The reality is the truth don’t care who tells it, but she told it. Love you @allysammarco.bsky.social

I can't stop laughing at this post. It's perfect.
