Taking it seriously, this would shut down essentially every major international airport in the US that's not in Florida or Texas.

i cant believe tom steyer is the first dem politician (that ive seen) to proudly and forcefully make this correct and obvious counter argument to the bigotry but im glad he did

The total, comprehensive failure of the actors & institutions on full display. He wasn't removed either under the 25th Amendment or via impeachment. The vindication of Juan Linz & the ultimate discrediting of our entire constitutional order.

"In the end, American consumers paid $159b in nat'l sales taxes for which most will never be reimbursed a penny. And rather than those taxes being used by the federal govt to, say, repave roads or build bridges, most of the money will instead provide corporate windfalls." — @schaller67.bsky.social

Is it the fault of the 250 lb object moving 10 mph or the 3000lb object moving at 30 mph?

Nearly every single creator involved in the Tenet scandal is more popular and has more access to the US government than before

How does AI give them an edge??? Wtf man...stupid fucking shit.

This is completely deranged: Iran is required to play games in the US but ISN’T ALLOWED TO STAY IN THE COUNTRY OVERNIGHT. They will instead have to fly back to Mexico. www.bbc.com/sport/footba...

Being into fitness to a degree means im aware of the Enhanced Games, which was supposed to be like an even where a bunch of people allowed to use PEDs would break a bunch of world records. I got a bad vibe when Brian Johnson was one of the hosts...and boy it sucked.

HOLY SHIT prosecutors kicked off grand jurors and then re-presented the case against the Broadview 6, then altered the grand jury transcripts to hide it from the judge. www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news...

“.. American officials did not learn of the outbreak until Thursday, nine days after the World Health Organization did, and almost a month after the first person died.” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2026/05/20/h...

The Trump administration will not rest until every elite institution has purged itself of black people. ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

How many times do we need to say that 'should be all of them'? 😮‍💨

They're stealing billions of your money to pay off violent right-wing psychos while doing everything in their power to spike gas up to $5 a gallon, make groceries into a luxury and hand the country over to the oligarchs who want to permanently replace you.

There are a few zombie stats like this in the food/agriculture/sustainability space. One is the claim that smallholders produce 70-80% of the world’s food. The real number (for farms less than 2 hectares) is 30-34%. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

A reminder that Gottheimer said in a private meeting of Democratic caucus members in the House that Muslims should all "feel guilty" for October 7th. He was never formally reprimanded by party leaders or made to apologize.

Spoke recently to a friend of mine who runs a lab. This administration is profoundly, maybe irreversibly, undermining the foundations of scientific research in the US. We won't feel the effects right away but they're coming

The kids are all right

i have been writing about the virginia supreme court decision with a certain amount of analytical detachment but if i’m being honest i’m also fucking furious i took the time to go vote and then my ballot got tossed out by these dipshits

Halo timeline confirmed

Laid off AP journalist: “We can love our jobs but it doesn't mean that they love us back. No matter how long we've been at our job or what position we hold, ultimately we are all expendable. Today was just my turn to be reminded of that.”

they’ll never admit it but the transphobic agenda end point is murder of trans people. the transphobe wants society alienated away from us, repulsed by us, so disturbed by us that the only thing that can enter their mind is our literal eradication

Ken's side beat is tracking the genrotocracy and it's a real failure no one else in the media touches it because it's completely out of control.

Trump allies keep bringing meritless lawsuits against the government, which Trump's DOJ then "settles" for enormous sums of taxpayer money now Trump is personally getting in on it, negotiating with himself for a "settlement" in the *billions* we're being robbed ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

Even worse, Jared Golden was a cosponsor on the bill!

speaking of anti-corruption in 2028, i'd like to see candidates publicize lists of people who likely lied to congress, who they intend to investigate for this crime. give me a whole website for it.

We went sponsor by sponsor through Sean Duffy's corporate funded vacation, which also gives companies "VIP access" to the Transportation Secretary, and listed everything these companies want from the government and were willing to pay up to $1 million to secure.

i don't hate being trans. i hate what the world does to me for being trans

These opinions and attitudes are a reminder of the pandemic where people didn't want to believe it was real and therefore following restrictions was pointless to them.

so funny how many companies are now actively involved in covering up how bad iran has rocked our shit

this looks like an extra tough captcha test

Chicago teen battling terminal cancer dies hours after reuniting with parents An 18-year-old Chicago resident battling terminal cancer has died, just one day after being reunited with his parents following their release from U.S. immigration custody.

I love this as a model for what to do when voting is not enough, because it's not.

Every single one of these mfers is a brother in law/ cronyism deal. They don't know how to function any other way.

At this point, solving climate change is cheaper than not solving it -- not only on some grand 50 year time horizon, but tomorrow, today, immediately. Soving climate change *is* affordability. Maybe Dems should tell voters about that.

"Larry Ellison reportedly told Trump that he would 'implement the CBS playbook' at CNN if the merger is approved, which would mean removing anchors and commentators at the network that Trump doesn’t like, the letter alleged."

Yep. This is why when places end cash bail, the conviction rate goes down. Because a lot of those convictions were just innocent Black folk taking plea deals for crimes that they 100% did not do, to avoid a life destroying year in jail. Like this.

It's like half correct, yet plenty of people work around this recognizing their choices are simply about experiencing joy, and allowing others space to do the same.

Narrator: but they didn't. In fact they made it worse.

Friday night wedding smoke break

I just read in AP yesterday that the virus was isolated to a cruise ship and "was not another Covid" My trust in this assessment is about 20% given what we just lived through.

This is really fucking bad

We murdered three more people in a boat today

YouTube has removed one of my videos because I reported that women can still access abortion pills. I shared *factual & medically accurate* information about women's health—yet the platform says I'm "facilitating the sale of illegal drugs"

He has this weirdly wholesome demeanor and maybe plays it up for the press, but so far, so good.

Dude what the hell

Followed up by admonishing people for drinking too much starbucks

Feels like we should just have a weekly thread to tally up all the unresolved scandals that we should follow up on over the next 5 years, that have fallen out of the headlines.
