It's never wrong to criticize bigotry.

I like that my feed right now is 100% lawyers going “legal expert here, judges only talk like this when they’re feeling a white-hot rage powerful enough to swallow a medium-size metropolitan area.”

This is Frank. He was getting checked out at the vet when he decided the appointment was over. Has things to do and places to be, but doesn't mind if you come along. 13/10 (TT: thatonevettech)

We Want Them Infected doctors spread a deluge of fake statistics, bogus predictions, and antivaxx. disinformation It had real world consequences. A lot of people didn’t care. They were entirely unbothered by it all. I’ll never understand the apathy.

The Maine sports ban referendum has been defeated after it fell 500 votes short after challenges. It will not appear on the ballot in 2026! www.bangordailynews.com/2026/05/21/p...

Nazi Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels was smiling for the camera until he found out the photographer, Alfred Eisenstaedt, was Jewish. The resulting photograph became known as "The Eyes of Hate."

/10 Trumpist prosecutor: well, firstly, this was only my second grand jury hearing ever, I am but a smol bean, and secondly, I just found out that vouching is bad? Holy fucking shit this is humiliating for DoJ.

/7 This encapsulates how Trumpism and Trumpist prosecutors have destroyed, probably for a generation at least, the reputation of DoJ and federal prosecutors.

The autopsy used the word "transgendered" [sic], which is basically the linguistic equivalent of blaming the election on "negroes". One has only to read that one word and realize the author is so out of touch and ignorant that anything they opine should be disregarded.

A win! A federal judge in Maine has dismissed the Trump administration’s lawsuit against the state for refusing to hand over voter registration data.

These prosecutors who made my family’s life hell for a year are criminals. I want justice and we’ll seek it. This can’t happen again.

Agents rappelled from a Black Hawk helicopter in a massive show of force. Authorities said Tren de Aragua “terrorists” had taken over the building. But after the cameras were gone, federal prosecutors did not charge anyone. (Published Nov. 2025)

I love @peltzmadeline.bsky.social's dry humor in dealing with evangelicals, who fetishize Jews in ways that never stop being strange. That said, this mode may be shifting to a new MAGA stance, which doesn't accept Jews as legitimate Americans at all. numbertwopencil.substack.com/p/being-jewi...

Not only did two neo nazi teens attempt to copycat the Christchurch mass shooting, the world's richest man falsely blamed trans people for it. Not a single outlet covered that he spread that disinformation.

Imagine being stressed out about life and the state of the world and then you walk outside to clear your head and see this

Hasn't even been a year and Zohran's governance is having a massive impact on my family. Our daycare was able to open a 15-seat 3K program because of the 2,000 extra seats the admin funded. Everyone we know got in somewhere they wanted. This is gonna save us almost 50 grand.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_R... today I learned about the Great Raft, a permanent log jam over two rivers in the Arkansas/Louisiana/Texas area that existed from circa the 12th century until 1830 when the US Army Corps of Engineers destroyed so ships could traverse those rivers.

Hey I dunno who needs to hear this but: if you want to paint your bathroom trim to match your cabinets, you can just contact the cabinet manufacturer, ask them for the RAL or hex code of the paint colour, and then get any major DIY store to mix the paint to match

🧵 1/15 The WHO Emergency Committee just met on Ebola Bundibugyo. This is the first time a WHO Director-General declared a PHEIC before convening the committee a signal of how urgent this is. I listened in and made a few notes which I share here. www.youtube.com/live/vLlbTW5...

New level of non-binary name discovered: naming yourself after a font

Every GOP primary story is like “syphilis loses to pancreatic cancer”

A story about KY GOP Senate nominee Andy Barr: In 2019 he got mad at AOC and demanded she come to his district to visit a coal mine. She said yes, which he didn't expect, so he withdrew the invitation. Then it turned out there were no working coal mines in his district. Because he's an idiot. 1/3

Not a metaphor or an exaggeration, this is literally true

During that time, he'll consider the plaintiffs' new TRO request, which includes the individualized assessments. He dinged DOJ because they said they couldn't respond to the TRO request before the last PI was to end on May 20, wouldn't consent to extension, and threatened to move trans inmates.

JUST IN: New Judge Royce Lamberth order. DOJ was too cute by half, and Lamberth said, "Fine then." Since the mandate in the D.C. Circuit's ruling requiring individualized assessment in the trans / fed prison case doesn't issue until June 8, he's extending his earlier classwide PI until then.

"the R slur is coming back" not within slapping distance of me it's not

Thomas Massie: “Today is the six month anniversary of the Epstein Transparency Act. We’ve taken out two dozen CEOs, an ambassador, a prince, a prime minister, a minister of culture, that was just six months. I’ve got seven months left in Congress.” video courtesy @acyn.bsky.social

I quite like this kind of moxie.

Congratulations to Dr. Jasmine Clark on this huge win! We’re thrilled that GA-13 will soon be represented by the Democratic fighter it deserves! Thank you to all of the Indivisibles in the district and across our country who made this win possible by supporting Dr. Clark’s people-powered campaign!

He also ran on universal basic income as part of his platform. Congrats, @chrisrabb.com!

Judge Reed O' Connor dared the 1st circuit to stop him and they backed down. They'd rather preserve constitutional order than stop the blatant violation of privacy by a forum shopped judge in Texas. O Connor will have access to the intimate medical records of trans youth in Rhode Island.

Breaking: the 1st circuit denied the emergency injunction request by the Rhode Island child advocate. As a result, Rhode Island children's will have to turn over medical records of trans youth to judge Reed O' Connor in Texas within the next 45 minutes. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Judge Andrew Oldham sounded frustrated by the UnitedHealthcare lawyer arguing 15-year-old Emily Dwyer no longer needed residential treatment. United’s approach, the judge said, essentially boiled down to “We’ll just gamble with her life.” (Published Dec. 2024)

I'm not going to pay a fucking fascist so I can go on his site and have my reasoned rebuttals to Russian bots buried by an algorithm

Good breakdown of the background and bottom line: "If you paid 2023 federal income taxes in the state of Connecticut, $3 out of every $100 you paid is now set aside for reimbursing people who a committee of people allied with the president decide were treated unfairly by government actions."

This scared the shit out of me until it was explained that it only crawls out late at night.

Cybertruck owner believes advertising, drives into lake (!), is arrested? and they say the perfect news story doesn’t exist

All forms of oppression—transphobia, racism, sexism, worker exploitation, etc—ultimately result in disability or death. Oppressors disable targeted group or redefine them as disabled, then wait for ableist society to abandon them. You must be actively anti-ableist to be effectively pro-liberation.

Sounds like a great time to switch your browser’s default search to DuckDuckGo, gang.

So you CAN get reparations you just have to be a reactionary white person who tries to overthrow the government because black votes shouldn’t count

The Supreme Court said Biden couldn't forgive student debt

Mount Saint Helens erupted on this day 46 years ago. John "Jack" V. Christianson took these photos from Mt. Adams, 54 km to the east, as his friend reacted to the eruption—really, the wholesale collapse of the volcano—at 8:32 am on 18 May 1980. Imagine what this must have been like to witness.
