this is an extremely textbook scumlord developer move — initiate construction quickly because the courts move slowly, then claim it’s too late to stop because you’ve already started. the court should tell them to eat shit.

The Art Institute of Chicago has censured a faculty member for making an assignment that has “anything with Palestine in it,” in this case just quite literally the existence of a Palestinian. US higher education is actively policing Palestinian existence as ‘antisemitism.’

This is beyond ridiculous. She was suspended for acknowledging that Palestinians exist. Not even endorsing a Palestinian state, addressing borders or anything, just the basic acknowledgement that some people are Palestinian. All because one student complained.

Here are the 117 Democrats who voted with Republicans against Rashida Tlaib's Lebanon war powers resolution. Thomas Massie was the one Republican to join 91 Democrats — who all bucked party leadership — in voting for it.

If I walked in to a toilet and someone was at the sink going "WHAT IS YOUR SEX?" to me I'd call the police because this person is obviously having an episode and is a danger to herself and others.

another day, another insane arrogation of authority

I just got some Issey Miyake “Le Sel Dissey” for $16 for my EDC. My wife really loves this. Says It’s more mature than my other freshies. It’s much less cloyingly sweet. It’s a seaweed/salt/fresh scent that smells like the ocean. This has signature summer scent written all over it. My only thing is

If you're born in France, no matter your race, you at least have the right to a pathway to full citizenship. If you are a non Jew, born in "Judea" aka the occupied West Bank, you are permanently stateless and have no pathway to citizenship in Israel while Jews born there get it automatically.

I often wonder about what economic benefits we are getting from Israel, and in this clip, this girl explains that a conglomerate of Israeli bio-tech companies are using holes in the USDA’s definitions to fill plugs, where say “a product only has to be “3.25% milk-fat, youtu.be/qdGeoshbUzE?...

The lady in the video makes a great point. The guy posted 50+ times in 7 hours, pictures of himself with Presidents who are dead, and can’t object, like Washington, and Lincoln. He lives in a world of digital AI hallucinations. He is sundowning. They want think of this youtu.be/bfk-YdgKiHc?...

Rise of Trumpism: "The Left needs to acknowledge Trump is their fault!" Rise of Gen Z Socialism: "FIGHT THEM!!!"

it's kind of hard to escape the conclusion that the entire spacex IPO is just a way for Elon Musk to financial engineer a huge, distributed theft from index fund holders?

Israel has abducted 20-year-old Palestinian women's national football team player Rand Halawani, abducted former national teamer Natalie Abu Diyeh, and imposed a travel ban on Musab Abu Salem. This is another facet of the ongoing athleticide, likely emboldened by FIFA's refusal to apply sanctions.

Ah, “demanding answers,” my favorite…

207 Republicans voted AGAINST the war powers resolution. Only 4 joined Dems and voted for it. Congressional Republicans voted to keep an illegal war going. This is what a cult looks like.

That is not a technicality. That is the whole point. Article I is clear. The power to send this country to war belongs to Congress. The framers built it that way because they had just escaped a king who could march a nation into war on a whim. They never wanted that power in 1 set of hands again.

Things like this is why it will continue to be darkly hilarious every time any non-Republican coughs out of turn during the christian bigot prayer breakfast or whatever and the media ecosystem spends a week warming up the old "Democrats shred norms of dignity" chafing dish yet again.

Muhammad Shehada explains that Israel refuses to allow the disposal of the giant piles of garbage in Gaza and is blocking the entry of essential items into the strip, including toilets, water filters, crutches and wheelchairs.

You are welcome to look up any one of the dozens that have been made since 2001. All of them would be far more effective and eliminate the security theatre of confiscating shampoo from millions of travelers while throwing all these allegedly dangerous items in a trash can next to the checkpoint.

I wish we wouldn't call it "Obama's deal". It was multi-national with Russia and China on board with our allies. It took years to get done through hard negotiations. If only we pointed that out, perhaps it wouldn't be seen as a Dem move but a global move.

On a level playing field? Or when users can choose their algorithm or what content they see? Progressives dominate, and it's not close — because that's who knows how to make culture * tell stories. But the thumb is on the scale in a huge way on the platforms that major media would call "mainstream".

The fascist call to familial and national strength is the same stuff documented by Wilhelm Reich in the 30s. "Sexually awakened women, affirmed and recognised as such, would mean the complete collapse of the authoritarian ideology." So wild to see them lay it out so directly.

80+ villages have been nearly or totally destroyed by Israel, 3,200 people have been killed, more than 1,300,000 displaced and yet there are people “fuming” about this resolution?

Complaints about the wording of the Lebanon resolution are especially stupid since the resolution does not claim that the US is about to launch a “ground operation” of its own, but instead that US material support for Israel’s invasion de facto makes this a joint war and an illegal one.

I think America is amazing, anyone can succeed here as long as you're genocidal. The fact that Barak Ravid still has a job is an inspiration to all except those of us who are unable to habitually lie.

An absolutely insane story from @telliotter.bsky.social about a US government employee who exposed Elon Musk's DOGE for accessing and exfiltrating sensitive data. Days after he went public, he was driving his car and discovered his brakes had been cut.... www.wired.com/story/he-ble...

If you want a vision of the future imagine an orthopedic new balance sneaker stamping a human face. Forever.

My friend's bike was stolen in Cincy and she had an airtag in the seat. She tracked it to a shady bike shop & called the cops to tell them where it was, and they said "ok, so?" When she said she was going to go get it herself, the cop told her, "if you take it, that's theft and we'll arrest you."

Adam Hamawy is a seasoned veteran combat medic who literally saved the life of a sitting senator of the United States; volunteered to treat Bosnians and Palestinians during their genocides, helped 9/11 victims on 9/11, and this is how the NYT decides to describe him after he wins a seat to Congress.

calirornia voters boldly asked “could we get a governor worse than gavin newsom” and they discovered yes, easily

our lawyers drafting this motion

AIPAC seems to be doing this everywhere, and it's disgusting.

"For our semiquincentennial I want Donald Trump on stage ranting like a lunatic. We squandered our inheritance. We should be confronted with our choices. America doesn’t need a celebratory retrospective. We need a mirror."

"Who is the best agent you've got?" "Jack Ryan, sir." "Great, get him in here, I want a frivolous mortgage fraud case against every Black woman in government by the end of this week!" "Uh, sir, excuse me, but: wat." "Goddamnit, this is a matter of national security!"

"To pay TotalEnergies, the Justice Department used the Judgment Fund, an unlimited account created by Congress to settle lawsuits against the federal government, even though the energy firm had not sued the United States." Blue states suing argue this was illegal: www.nytimes.com/2026/06/02/c...

One of the most radicalizing things I ever read was the TIGTA report that describes how they retire cases on high income non-filing (not non-paying, non-FILING) taxpayers due to lack of resources

“But we need to wait for specific details. For example: what does it mean that Israel will not fire on Hezbollah?” Israelis struggling with the concept of not shooting people.

Car brain is a thing but I've never seen a case so terminal

again: the only interesting question in all of this is "is bari aware that this is her job? or is she just so haplessly dumb and ideological that she is just doing it instinctively"

Mandani fixed NY in 5 months. 12 billion deficit fixed. Which proves if you really want to fix things it's possible.

Texans, vote for James Talarico for senate and Gina Hinojosa for governor!

It is simply untenable for the Senate Leader of the Democratic Party to be someone whose number one issue is being unconditionally supportive of a country that >80% of his party's voting base views negatively

The IDF raped people who were from allied countries. Think about that. The Australian government hardly has done anything. You are a fucking disgrace @albomp.bsky.social and @senatorwong.bsky.social

It’s absolutely crazy they can void an election with no consequences.

the national republican party as an institution is dedicated to the expansion of fascism and the national democratic party as an institution is dedicated to the protection of fascism

Watching the planes come in over the harbor.

The Dems are going to fuck up every way they can. We need to know that. You don't lose to fuckface Trump twice without being the biggest fuck ups in political history.
