Two conservative incumbent West Virginia Supreme Court justices lost to more moderate* opponents last night. *by a matter of degrees

This would constitute one of the most brazen, most appalling acts of corruption in U.S. history. I know we’re numb to all of this but this is a seven-alarm fire. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/12/b...

folx, I’ve been working on AI "ethics" for almost a decade now & hate to tell you there’s no such thing as "ethical AI" the only "ethical principle" that works is regulating the shit out of the industry & to take back control of our autonomy, fundamental rights, freedoms & right to exist w/out AI

USA racism is in full view.

This is all by design from this administration. They know ICE is incredibly unpopular so they are simply shifting tactics. Don't believe the BS about a softer approach. Immigrants are still under attack. They're just getting better at hiding it.

Unearthed reports reveal that RFK Jr. fired every full-time CDC cruise ship sanitation inspector ahead of the Hantavirus cruise ship outbreak. www.cbsnews.com/news/cdc-cru...

What aren't they stealing?

The straightforward effect of adding more administrative burden on stores will be that fewer stores will accept SNAP. These are the equivalent of abortion TRAP laws, like mandating the width of a corridor.

I’ll never forget the Boston City Council hearing on civilian flaggers – an officer said cops NEED paid details because they’re required to live in Boston for a number of years and don’t want to send their kids to Boston Public Schools. They want cops IN our schools, but not their own kids.

"We would never sit in these bodies and say that ranchers can only be represented by vegans." @staceyabrams.com in Tennessee today discussing what the Supreme Court's gutting of the Voting Rights Act in Callais means for Black Americans – and every American.

"Our days shall not be sweated from birth until life closes, Hearts starve as well as bodies, give us bread, but give us roses"

The real cost of the Iran War: $72 billion for the first 60 days open.substack.com/pub/populari...

The WH (Trump) releases a Rpt in the middle of the night a/b a possible agreement w/Iran. Around 4 AM Oil $ immed tumbled below $100 barrel. Another opp, I’m sure, for the friends & family to cash in on the market along with the rapidly growing Prediction Market. This has always been about money.

#travle what happened to trivia?

Finally got to #newbritainmuseumofAmericanArt

Totally flunked #connections today. Had one right idea but wrong combination

Thank you to all the Jane's Walk Providence 2026 organizers, Walk coordinators and fellow walkers. It was a chilly weekend, but we'll worth it.

If you're investing with Schwab, Fidelity or Vanguard, you should probably look elsewhere because the people running them think the Trump investigations of SPLC are legit. That's a warning sign that they are dumber than dirt. Get your money out before they invest it in raw milk futures or something

This is an outrage and they are cowards

Corn ethanol serves no purpose and is purely a handout to farmers. It costs more and emits more than normal petroleum. And it takes up half as much land area as all urban and suburban land in the US. If we replaced the land with solar, we'd get 3x as much power as the US uses.

Israel kidnapped 211 European Nationals this morning 1,000km from Israel, for committing the great crime of trying to bring food to Gaza where people are dying every day from starvation. You won't see this on the news though, and no major politician will mention it.

Yes, but remember Thomas is 78 next month. Alito is 76 and Robert is 71. If the Dems win the Senate in November, and the Presidency in 2028, that's a minimum of six years they'll have to remain alive to be replaced by another right wing justice. It could be ten years if the Dems win in 2032.

“One mile on a bike is a $.42 economic gain to society, one mile driving is a $.20 loss.” “Which means that Copenhagen, a city of 1.2 million people, saves $357 million a year on health costs because something like 80% of its population commutes by bike.” #CityMakingMath Some costs are savings.

Every GOP needs to be voted out.

Defense attorneys Roy Bryant and J.W. Milam appealed to the all-white jury to summon its "Anglo-Saxon courage" to acquit the defendants in the Emmett Till murder trial. Word for word.

“We must also reflect on our shared responsibility to safeguard nature, our most precious and irreplaceable asset.” Thank you for your advocacy for our planet, Your Majesty.

They are all fools.

What is a fan zone?

by my tally we are now spending ~$2B to companies to NOT build more energy infrastructure. in the middle of an energy crisis

OK, I checked and yes this is real

"Former New Mexico Attorney General Hector Balderas says he was ordered to 'stand down' by the Feds in 2019. It wasn’t until reading files this year that he realised the FBI sat on murder tips while claiming they had no 'probable cause' to search the ranch." bit.ly/4w4d0rN

1. Don’t go to school or work. 2. If you must, then don’t buy. US activists plan May Day economic blackout: ‘No school, no work, no shopping’. Actions expected to exceed 3,000 as unions and groups expand protests inspired by Minnesota ICE crackdown www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Trump’s Doral National golf course in Miami installs gold statue of Trump, which is remarkably similar to one of Dear Leader in North Korea.

Southern Poverty Law Center attorneys say it appears the federal grand jury that returned an indictment last week was "not merely misled" by the government, but "actively weaponized" to facilitate a case against a party disfavored by the Trump administration.

He's handing our money out like candy and these companies gladly take it.

Millionaire's Tax opponents claim that small businesses will be on the hook - and it's just not true "Those who claim to represent the interests of small and micro businesses need to stop pretending that the biggest threat is a policy that doesn’t even apply to the majority of them."

The war against women

PVD blooming. And I think of late April as the pink phase.

Literally nobody cares about the attack. Many think it was fake. A result of this time, of this government, of the absence of truth, standards, & ethics. There's no seriousness or accountability. Lie after lie, daily. People don't believe anything anymore. That's why so many think it was staged.

In 1994, a man crashed his small plane into the White House. Clinton did not build a ballroom because of it. In fact he barely mentioned it. And he definitely did not say that no one can criticize him anymore.
