The maker of jets that crashed and killed everyone onboard and the carmaker fined tens of millions for mishandled recalls have suddenly decided to sponsor their top regulator's reality show purely for the love of the open road www.wsj.com/business/boe...

Please take advantage of me as a class traitor now before I disappear up my own ass. Your govt does EXACTLY what it wants to. If they claim poverty then make them take money from the wealthy before you do it with a pitchfork. Save the wealthy from themselves!

This is rage bait but 1 of the most eye-opening things I’ve learned from leaping up a few tax brackets due to luck is HOW MUCH MONEY there is at the top. Straight up unfathomable. Way, way, WAY more than you think! California can afford ANYTHING. YOUR govt can afford ANYTHING. Demand it all!

Between 2021 and 2024, USAID is estimated to have saved 91 million lives. Before it shut down, the agency accounted for less than 1% of federal spending. The collapse may have already caused 762,000 preventable deaths and could lead to more than nine million preventable deaths by 2030, study says.

Trump-endorsed GOP Rep. Max Miller has been accused of physically abusing his ex-wife Emily Moreno—daughter of GOP Senator Bernie Moreno—for years. Miller has denied the allegations. trib.al/Ir1a3db

"One study found that increasing the number of people who receive SNAP benefits by 5 percent could have prevented nearly 32,000 suicides over 15 years. And a $1 increase in minimum wage has been linked to roughly 8,000 fewer suicide deaths over a decade."

Okay so I’ve got my “get rid of entry level work” tshirt and my “end welfare” hat on in my office adorned with “stop universal healthcare” posters. Time to take a big sip from my “keep childcare expensive” mug and check online what the deranged commie masses are mad about now.

this graduation speech moment is notable, and her amazed shock at having failed to read the room feels instructive. when you're inside the bubble, you think everybody else is. but everybody isn't.

new zealander everlee wihongi was due to meet with her lawyer yesterday. then ICE moved her to their most notorious tent facility in texas: 3000 people, highest death rate, most sexual assaults. and today, she disappeared off the system. please RT: www.webworm.co/everleehasdi...

Prime Minister Péter Magyar inaugural speech: "The psyche of the whole country was poisoned by politics that was artificially inciting hatred. The Hungarian state is not allowed to do anything like this ever again... This era is, once and for all, finished."

Feeling helpless about politics? Then help us build power by meeting our community’s needs! This week, we got wiped out of 💥 diapers 💥 dental hygiene supplies 💥 toiletries 💥 period products 💥 pet food 💥 men’s clothes (pants!! shoes!!) Drop off or mail to 7016 N Clark St, Chicago IL 60626!

being a Republican has gotta be so embarrassing, man. the entire party is a cult devoted to an antichrist like figure and is basically just full of people you wouldn’t let babysit your kids. how the fuck are these freaks controlling our country

As extreme politics have normalized, young people have grown up not knowing any other way. For months, I've spent time getting to know 10 college students who literally do not recall a time in America without Trump. My latest for @thewesternedge.bsky.social www.thewesternedge.media/p/the-age-of...

The Bezos Post is essentially becoming Jeff Bezos’ personal blog to whine about people who criticize the idle rich like him. A hit dog will holler. Imagine arguing that hoarding billions of dollars is the peak of “human potential” with a straight face.

It feels like a year but it’s truly been decades of work by the Federalist Society that did this and these SCOTUS members who have participated in what amounts to a traitorous, anti-democratic conspiracy for white supremacy should be in prison. ( @fivefourpod.bsky.social has a great series on it:

This is how every other country imagines life in America

I really like the most popular cat names in china

You are a skilful and trusted vizier. You will advise me wisely on how best to rule the kingdom. You will not scheme or plot. You will not inveigle my other courtiers into turning against me. You will not lie to me about scheming or plotting. If you scheme or plot against me, you have to tell me,

Look if you've got a better way to run a country than "putting an illiterate octogenarian bigot on TV every few days to free associate and complain, and then everyone tries to figure out if it means we're about to start a war or not" I'd love to hear it. But the constitution says this is it.

before the internet was a corporate hellscape it was built by ordinary people! the slop was wacky and homemade just like mom (and David) used to make. alas the good old days are over but I can't believe how lucky we are to have @archive.org to remember them :') web.archive.org/web/20080803...

I was forced to the back of the bus. This ain't theoretical for me. I lived this shit.

Who's going to buy into the gigantic IPOs of companies with no profits and questionable paths to profitability, such as SpaceX and OpenAI? You will, through your employer's retirement plan, writes @jmackin2.bsky.social www.wsj.com/finance/stoc...

i've been getting more folks telling me about this and it's not anything i agreed to. it's been stolen like AI steals. please vandalize it if and when you see it.

He asked ChatGPT for advice on a mass killing. Minutes later, two were dead. OpenAI is wrestling with how to handle its most chilling conversations.

The US only became a full liberal democracy around 1965. Significant regions of the country ever embraced it. The country has a bizarrely glowing self image, but this is not an old democracy. At all.

the guy is a dumb asshole who sucks. that's all there is to know

What The Onion is doing with Infowars is exactly what should happen to all of these freaks. They should be forced to watch their empires crumble. They should have to experience the shame, guilt, and embarrassment of becoming pariahs. Their scarlet letters should be visible from space.

important and incredibly easy-to-read history of the voting rights act & racist discrimination in voting

Looking good, Sir!

I don't know how widely understood it is that the US is now conditioning lifesaving, utterly essential health aid to African countries on access to minerals and other ~sweet deals. I probably only know about it bc of the @unbreaking.org team that tracks it. healthpolicy-watch.news/ghana-rebuff...

(barely paying attention to the news) We've got to build Donald Trump's big bathroom. Or else they'll shoot him some where else.

There are things that are very hard for me to understand. He could simply pay the tax and he would be left with about $260 Billion in wealth. More than any single human could every possibly spend across any number of lifespans. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/27/u...

"The structure whose supports our elites are steadily kicking down is also the one that props up their own personal safety from disaster and political invulnerability to accountability. And all of this can go away." me in @bostonreview.bsky.social www.bostonreview.net/articles/a-y...

LAWYER: The shooter shared your post: “Bugs Bunny is a two-pump chump. I’d show Lola how to smash ‘Animal Style!’” What did you mean by that? ME: That Bugs Bunny cums fast. LAWYER: He lacks sexual prowess? ME: Yes. LAWYER: Did you consider that posting something this inflammatory might be dangerous?

Correct, this is the exact same tone they took when they changed the Land 'o Lakes packaging. They're shrieking in a pitch that nobody can hear anymore.

He said members of Congress should be executed five months ago and that isn't even the most memorable instance since then of him calling for violence and/or celebrating the death of somebody he dislikes.

"The Mint buys gold that originates in a Colombian drug cartel mine. It makes Lady Liberty coins out of gold from Mexican and Peruvian pawn shops and from a Congolese mine that is part-owned by the Chinese government..Some gold has come from a company in Honduras that dug up an Indigenous graveyard"

Yes, I think the enormity of Elon Musk racking up Pol-Pot levels of mass killing is so hideous to contemplate that many people just….aren’t.

It's not hyperbole in the least to say Musk purchased a six-month shadow presidency for $280 million and used the power of that shadow presidency to 1. Steal the government’s data, 2. Permanently damage the state’s ability to regulate his businesses, and 3, kill non-white people.

“The right wing is on the decline. People are realizing that they have no vision or solutions, just hatred and empty slogans. All they’ve brought to the world is war, inflation, inequality, and social division.”
