“The person who was murdered was a representative of a hateful ideology, the person thought to have killed him […] may have tried to oppose that hatred in the most destructive manner imaginable. And yet something in the transformed landscape of this country tells me I’m not supposed to say so.”

Infuriating.

ICYMI: Jay Carey, the Army veteran who set fire to a U.S. flag near the White House to protest President Donald Trump’s recent executive order on flag burning, pleaded not guilty Wednesday to federal criminal charges.

REPORTER: How much wealthier are you now than when you returned to the WH? TRUMP: The deals I made for the most part, other than what my kids are doing - they're running my business - were made before. Where are you from? R: Australia T: In my opinion you are hurting Australia right now. Quiet.

Karen was the last full-time Black opinion writer at the Washington Post. She was also one of the last courageous voices on an opinion page that has now been gutted of them. Supposed defenders of free speech are actively silencing anyone who disagrees with them.

A 90s-era internet keyword filter, but for peoples lives and livelihoods.

Disgusting. We can condemn political violence and opine that Kirk was not just a good man with bad politics, but a bad man with dangerous politics. Yes, it’s a fucking tragedy and an escalation of this descent, and Kirk was an evil human being if there is such thing as evil, all at the same time.

Today—like so may days—is a good day to have a partner or close friend you can talk candidly to about current events, instead of posting about it on social media.

Zuckerberg saying Meta intends to spend at least 600 billion in the US Zuckerberg at the end caught on a hot mic

She's right!

Proud to work with ‪@ocasio-cortez.house.gov and others to enact reforms to campaign finance and ethics laws —including banning Members of Congress from trading stocks or becoming lobbyists. Let’s get it done!

People are constantly asking me — what can I do? Between now and the 2026 midterm elections, here are five practical steps you can take to make a difference.

I see we have brought Vladimir Putin in as a consultant on how to operate “fair and balanced elections.”

Our nation’s chief executive only unfriended his pedophile bestie after his own teenage spa workers were “stolen”. His administration has spent six months doing everything it can to run our top science talent out of the country. A huge chunk of the electorate still supports him. We’re cooked.

I’m not surprised at my Colorado senators at this point but I am still disappointed in them. Way to go, New Mexico!

Can not one reporter convince someone to let her take a spa day at Mar-a-Lago and talk to the therapists there while getting a massage? Most massage therapists are talky people and “wow, you’re good at this, how long have you been doing this? When did you start working here?” could be journalism.

Never forget, when everyone in future says they were always against the Gaza genocide, some Republicans wrote death messages on the missiles used to commit it.

This video is nuts www.instagram.com/reel/DMWa8sp...

A horrifying statement published today by the Editorial Committee of the Agence France-Presse (AFP) news agency. "Without immediate intervention, the last reporters in Gaza will die" Translation from French to English by @cnorristrent.bsky.social:

A few days ago: Mike Johnson: "God miraculously saved the president's life -- I think it's undeniable -- and he did it for an obvious purpose. His presidency and his life are the fruits of divine providence. He points that out all the time and he's right to do so."

This is true and needs to be part of the messaging for universal healthcare in American. The right used to argue is wasn’t economically feasible. Then they blew up the budget for unpopular programs and are telling people need to stop eating carrot cake. There is so much opportunity for real change!

She walked out of her immigration hearing smiling — papers in hand, standing tall. She had no idea the man waiting in the hallway was ICE. No idea she was about to be detained. This is happening inside NYC’s immigration courts. Every day. #ICE

Democrats could write a bill right now that reverses everything in the current GOP bill & run on that. They could take their own "Big Beautiful Bill" to the people & promise to pass it first thing if they regain power. It would be clear to everyone where they stand on those issues. They won't do it.

Finished this a few days ago and it's been on my mind ever since. It is a very well written and devastating look at the damage industry has done and continues to do to the world we will pass on to future generations.

This song is old enough to buy a beer.

Nothing to see here: just cops on horseback, bicycles, foot, and vehicles harassing a small group of peaceful protesters in a Charleston, South Carolina neighborhood.

The Times questioning Zohran’s experience kinda just boils down to ideology & racism but the idea of 33 being too young to hold a major political office is so funny. If he was a CEO of a startup that produced something worse than nothing they’d write a glowing feature on his new bold ideas.

I haven’t seen nearly enough people talking about this. The levels of greed and inhumane thinking on display is actually terrifying. America really is dystopian as fuck.

In March. Prescient.

Hi everyone I was denied entry, detained, and deported from the USA over the last 48 hours because of my reporting on the Columbia student protests I arrived back in Melbourne hours ago and had my phone handed back to me upon landing

Oh shit - look how few people it took too

No Kings poster is ready for tomorrow!

Listen to this great American. This nation is privileged to have a man of this character in the United States Senate. Thank you @padilla.senate.gov. We stand with you.

What is going on in our country??

I think she’s onto something. Some very Ayn Rand-ish woven into this type of statement. “I am an ‘ideal man’ and should not be bothered with things that do not relate to my genius personal project.” And that thinking is present in the views of many Americans, regardless of political party.

Friends, do not sit down if violence breaks out at a protest. Sitting down will put you in danger of being beaten and make you an easy target. Turn and walk back the way you came. I wouldn’t have even mentioned this, but “Occupy Democrats” has millions of followers 👇🏻

Clash between protesters and federal agents at ICE raid in Omaha

Who would’ve believed a month ago that going into No Kings/Trump Parade weekend that Trump’s biggest public feuds would be with Elon Musk and Gavin Newsome?

Is it… is today Liberation Day?

People around the world are starving now because of Musk’s cuts. They are dying of disease because of Musk’s cuts. They are being born with diseases they will carry with them for the rest of their lives because of Musk’s cuts. https://trib.al/91rI7x6

NEW: Attorneys for MyPillow Guy Mike Lindell said in opening statements at his defamation trial in Denver that they won’t present evidence of his claim that the 2020 election was rigged. “It’s just words. All Mike Lindell did was talk,” said Lindell’s attorney. #copolitics

I love to see this type of strong political statement from a public figure like @minakimes.bsky.social! ❤️

COMMENTARY: Claims of election rigging will be tested in a courtroom in Colorado next week. Here's why many journalists, Democrats, and Republicans aren't talking about it.

🧵 Martin Diaz came to the U.S. as a toddler, fleeing cartel violence with his family. They had proof of the danger—a letter from a Michoacán official. He married a U.S. citizen & was advancing his visa. Then ICE showed up at his home in Spokane: no warrant, no ID #OnYourSide VC pslspokane

Fascist, authoritarian things being done in Worcester and Newark in the name of “We the people”. Meanwhile, I see posts every day about which corporate chain is “best” for tariff panic-buying. Let’s do better, America. The window for meaningful resistance may be slipping away.
