This functionally ends science in the United States.

Unmatched presidency-ending corruption & authoritarianism, for anyone other this One Special Boy. Folks look at you like you're crazy when you say we're in the midst of the worst Article I constitutional crisis in 🇺🇸 history, & then it's Thursday & Congress doesn't seem to exist anymore.

in a meeting where boss is announcing a new AI ‘tool’ we’ll be expected to use — trying to learn what day this starts so I’ll know when to make my last day at the company

"If data centres were a country, they would be the second-largest destination for gas turbines ordered from Q1 2025 to Q1 2026" New IEA report confirms this isn't a normal industry. It is a fossil-fuelled, high-polluting heavy industry producing socially corrosive products at massive climate cost.

President of MIT not mincing words today in @statnews.com www.statnews.com/2026/05/27/s...

eliminate what now?

A President ordering the Justice Department to criminally investigate a woman who won a sexual assault lawsuit against him makes Watergate look like an unpaid parking ticket.

And they're named similarly. "Free DC Slate" vs "Democrats United to Free DC". The establishment party folks are trying hard to tell you they're the ones behind Free DC, but they're not. They're using that name to try to claim the organizing work that Free DC has been doing. Because it's working.

A senior CIA official was arrested last week after investigators found hundreds of gold bars worth over $40 million stashed in his Virginia residence, a small fortune that he apparently brought home from work, according to court papers.

yeah you gotta willie horton ken paxton. have the party committees and super pacs run ads explicitly accusing paxton of covering up for a child abuser. “you love your children and would do anything to protect them. so why would you vote for a man who lets child abusers run free”

weird little fun rabbit hole

this is incredible

Every commissioned officer who took part in this needs to face court martial

yikes :(

Our entire economy is being artificially propped up by astrology for men: AI, crypto, sports betting, and prediction markets. It's an economy shaped entirely by male insecurity and lack of impulse control, and we'll all pay the price.

"Paxton's Corrupt Adam Hoffman Pedophile Pardon" and then you start shortening it to "Paxton Pedo Pardon" or "The Corrupt Hoffman Pardon" or any other variation you can think of on subsequent mentions in the same appearance. bsky.app/profile/dext...

the challenge for talarico and dems will not just be repeating this accusation over and over again, but telling the story over and over again, so that voters understand the words "adam hoffman" as a synecdoche for the entire case against Paxton every time they are invoked.

"Bad weather has hampered strike operations in recent weeks." So, the gap in lethal boat strikes between May 8 and May 26 doesn't necessarily owe to internal disagreements or a lack of boat traffic.

"Why are you still wearing a mask?" .... gee idk

Paxton only returned the stolen pen after the courthouse security cameras showed he was the one who took it.

frame: talarico is a vegan negation: eggs and cheese aren't vegan kirby:

Rubio is claiming the authority to deport people based on their views alone. Today, a federal court will hear a lawsuit challenging that authority on First Amendment grounds:

alright this guy absolutely has scrambled eggs for brains

calling on law bluesky, abolition bluesky, I cannot stop thinking about this wild, honest look into who and what people think the law is for and what cops actually do

1. Lead Left, a super PAC created on 4/24, purports to stand "against MAGA extremists." It has spent $3M+ in Democratic primaries. But it's funders and motivations have been secret. Until now. It's a GOP dirty tricks operation. 🧵

whoever spiked this messaging should go down in history as one of our great villains

Dictators Become Obsessed With This One Thing "They are obsessed with bunkers, with palaces..." Author and historian Ruth Ben-Ghiat explains a classic symptom of the autocrat's decline: the "bunker stage." @ruthbenghiat.bsky.social

Well holy crap. Erin Brockovich (yes, the same one the led the Hinkley, CA toxic groundwater lawsuit in ‘93) launched a website tracking AI data centers across the US and the ecological impacts to the environment and drinking water. MN is riddled with them. www.brockovichdatacenter.com

Probably fine!

Absolutely nothing is stopping John Cornyn, Tillis, Murkowski, & Paul from caucusing immediately with Democrats & giving them control of the Senate. The same is true of Thomas Massie & any 2 retiring GOP Reps in the House. It is a choice to continue caucusing with the authoritarian personality cult.

"...treat this merger not as an arms-length and above board business transaction, but as what it plainly is: a political arrangement to circumvent constitutional safeguards, with severe consequences for American democracy"

Now to sit back and trust the good people of Texas not to elect a cartoonishly evil howling demon man

Love that a clear ban on partisan gerrymandering can be sidestepped by a judge just straight-up ignoring the evidence.

What if taxing the rich works?

if MAHA were a meat industry conspiracy to trick people with cardiac disease to choke down as many beef products as possible before they croak, it would be doing exactly what it's doing www.statnews.com/2026/05/22/s...

100% of Republicans are not I presume child rapists, but I think it's a safe starting assumption about Republicans until they can prove otherwise.

they’re shooting crowd control munitions at crowds that include multiple members of congress, the governor, and a sitting united states senator. they fired pepper balls at the senator. they cannot and will not be reigned in by democracy, whatever’s left of it.

Pedocon theory out here explaining presidential endorsements in the Texas Senate race.

Memorial Day 2026 They didn't give their lives for an autocracy anntelnaes.substack.com/p/memorial-d...

my sincere hope for this moment is that people understand that these reports apply to every detention site, and that detention in of itself is a potential death sentence for anyone in this country no one should experience these horrors regardless of what they’re accused of

I’d argue governors being denied access to federal law enforcement facilities in their state is part of what I call slow civil war.

🚨 Silly little guy alert 🐙

So in other words there are two criminal gangs operating out there

Swift boating worked because democrats did the “we won’t dignify this with a response” thing and looked to the mainstream media to debunk it. It’s one of the dumbest things the party has ever done and it’s still how they operate today.

the smallest people in the world

this tracks like a laser beam

Never forget that YOU are a data center. Drink some water ffs.
