Napping #Caturday away seems like a good thing. ≠ doom scrolling

In order for the United States to become a party to the International Criminal Court and have our officials be subject to trial at The Hague, the US Senate would need to ratify the Rome statute by a two-thirds vote. Let’s start running on that.

We’ll take the people of Memphis over wannabe fascists & hate mongers like Stephen Miller seven days a week. Twice on Sunday. 🇺🇸 📸 via @indivisnashville.bsky.social

Driving by Mar-a-Lago, my driver slowed down amazed. Trump was pointing at a roadkill on the asphalt and christened it road pizza. JD Vance tears off the first bite, then offers the rest to the GOP like a holy sacrament. He checks his eye liner and wipes his chin: Please, sir, may I have some more?

We were warned: Dice Medicaid & rural hospitals bleed. Trump gutted them, tossed coins in a golf course coffin, and Marshall whines like the knife’s not in his hand, the corn cob not up his…, the blood not in his coffee. One thing about living in DC I never could stomach… all the damn vampires.

Hegseth’s “warrior ethos” and preaching no beards, while wearing more makeup than a Studio 54 drag queen. Great days of glory when the mirror ball shined a thousand points of light, pink boas flying, lashes sparkling. He’d have been drinking cocktails and chasing… well… lines. [rise up]

Celebrating 50 years of the iconic "Bohemian Rhapsody" 🎂 Making the most-streamed song from the 20th century took ambition, hard work, and a dash of opera. Roger Taylor and Brian May sat down with Rolling Stone to reflect on Queen’s masterpiece: www.rollingstone.com/music/music-...

Bella glued ANTIFA stickers on the White House walls while Bondi cried like a chastised child, Trump howling orders, Homan weighed down w/ $50K in greasy bills, and the FBI strangled. The whole thing buried alive in bitcoin, a digital coffin for a justice system rotting in the sun on RFK Jr’s hood.

@democrats.org — what the hell are you doing?! Betting on 2028 like junkies waiting for a fix while the machinery of free elections is gutted in broad daylight. Normal is a corpse buried under the Rose Garden cement. J6 is over. Stop hiding. Where are the roses? 🥀 [defy]

100% agree. Nothing to add. On point.

Federal officers took 11 Democratic officials into custody inside a federal building in Lower Manhattan after the group demanded entry to Immigration and Customs Enforcement holding cells where migrants were being detained.

So if anti-fascists are Trump’s political enemies, what does that make Trump?

DC soldier threatened to call cops on Jar Jar Binks playing the Imperial March. Survived basic training but got defeated by the most annoying character in Star Wars wielding a speaker. Mesa thinks our defender needs backup.

Anyone asking senators who voted to confirm the wholly anti-qualified Kash Patel how they’re feeling about their vote today?

It’s 3 a.m. I’m behind a palm tree near Mar-a-Lago. A coked up poodle w/ collagen lips panted that Trump had iced Kirk to smother the Epstein archives. The kicker: she’s hustling RFK Jr. stamped vaccines to anyone that isn’t a zombie. She fades into the darkness. I hear a bark in the distance.

Time to rename the game of Golf to War - it’s literally people battling to get balls in holes using sticks as weapons. End this woke “golf” nonsense and call it what it is: suburban warfare with overpriced carts and beer. Rich guys declaring victory over landscaping while wearing pastels.

"Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do to stop my simpleminded nephew from destroying your country."

Trump's so terrified of batteries and sharks that he raided the Hyundai plant, thinking they would be making batteries and farming sharks. Now Donny can sleep better, snuggling with Stephen Miller and rubbing his shiny skull as he dozes off thinking about his lost marbles. [defy]

The moderation system here at Bluesky @safety.bsky.app is really amazing. An impersonator account scamming people was taken down within five minutes of reporting. The block function is nuclear. I can hide offensive replies, and even replies to replies. I truly feel safe here. Thank you @bsky.app

Our former friends are laughing at us in private; our empowered enemies are laughing at us in public. Who but Trump could have brought such jolly unity to the world? by Marc Thiessen

Don't look at any social media after this and go out and seize the day. The real world is waiting - touch grass, feel sunlight, a gentle breeze, rain, listen to birds. Life is happening outside these tiny screens. Look. There is a butterfly. [carpe diem]

Nothing fancy for this one. Sore, vengeful losers just like their supreme leader. Fuck these so called humans and the rotting meat that let them fester into maggots. Fuck everyone one of them. [time to defy]

I’m sitting in a boarded-up Roy Rogers watching “crackers” lose their minds over Cracker Barrel's logo. They vanished Herschel, and suddenly it's the fall of civilization. Grown men weeping into hash browns because corporate minimalism murdered a white grandfather figure. Cold mystery gravy. WTF?

Alice was baking hash brownies when I stumbled into the hotel kitchen. "Sixty years of voting rights," she said, "and they're carving it up like prime rib." Outside, Texas Republicans redistricted democracy into oblivion while Democrats made strongly worded posts, pale w/ empty eyes. [time to defy]

[time to defy]

Sunburnt poolside at a decaying pink Miami Beach hotel, only shade from the umbrella in my bourbon, yes in my bourbon: Fascists burn bridges and people cry about ice cream melting. The disconnect between catastrophe and casual indifference is beautiful and terrifying. [time to defy]

NEWSOM: “We are asking the voters for their consent to respond to what’s happening in Texas.” There will be a special election this November in California.

I’ve had my complaints with Newsom over the years, but he’s handling this moment exactly right. And Ted Cruz is throwing an absolute fit about California redistricting. 🤣🤣🤣

Got lost in the White House, wandered into the Oval Office while the occupant was on the roof mooning the press. I witnessed more "Crime, Savagery, Filth, and Scum!" in the hallways than in the streets of DC. Bella checked the facts - 30-year crime lows. Pure savage theater for the cult.

I can’t help but notice the Wall Street Journal stopped getting Epstein leaks after Todd Blanche met with Ghislaine Maxwell and she was moved to a minimum security resort.

A fork in the road, and now you’re on the off-ramp and entering the Caturday Zone.

Let’s talk about science, baby. Let’s talk about empathy. Let’s talk about all we do know. And all we don’t know, that may be. Let’s talk about science. 🧵 Keep reading for a health communication crash course 1/10 @kmpanthagani.bsky.social @meganranney.bsky.social @ylepidemiologist.bsky.social

We are already an authoritarian country. We’re not working to prevent it; we’re now working…to get out of it.

Maybe Sydney and I share the gene for eating the whole damn bag of chips. Thank God people don’t have enough to worry about and can judge a fucking gene commercial while we spiral in salt, shame, and hereditary snack eating compulsion. #iblamemyparents

1903. Sting and I were in a lighthouse smoking up and drinking rum. Sting called himself JR back then and muttered about sending a message in a bottle. He passed out, talking about saving Roxanne or some such. I’m hungover and feel like I’m 120. He still looks 30 and won’t stop dancing.

This is a wonderful final encore for Ozzy.

I think people are misinterpreting this wonky headline. The bombshell story CBS is reporting is that the Epstein jail tape the public got IS missing time and the FULL video exists. The FBI and DOJ have it. So when Bondi said the missing minute is normal, she lied. www.cbsnews.com/news/jeffrey...

Congress eliminated public media funding, and the president signed it into law. At a time of deep division, public media brings us together. Help keep it strong. Join our monthly donors today: n.pr/458sOhq

Hate is really a strong word— so I’ll say this: I really, really don’t like Trump and his regime. Dramatic pause— I fucking hate them all.

A reminder: The perpetrators in the Epstein files are Oligarchs, and so are the ones protecting them.

Ozzy going out after raising $190 million for sick kids and a Parkinson’s cure is metal AF.

I didn’t know the grief would hit like this—like waking up and finding the sky gone. Ozzy didn’t just change music—he rewired the world for weirdos like us. Sabbath raised us. Ozzy freed us. And now he’s gone, and it feels like gravity quit too.

Fuck Trump— This is 1,370 light-years cooler. Oh and good morning. Enjoy your Sunday.

An endorsement from the largest local union of professional musicians in the world sounds a little different than the others but the meaning is the same: solidarity forever. Thank you Local 802 AFM!

Bondi torched the Epstein client list, and MAGA shrieked like lab rats on fire—Jones foaming, Beck twitching. Then the left swallowed the bait. While both sides chase phantoms, Trump guts Medicaid, floods LA with jackboots, and ships teens to Salvadoran black sites. There are worse things afoot.

This is all just exploration of the new, extralegal space these evil fucks now exist in. "Can I get away with this?" "Well, what about THIS?" Like a serial killer working up from B+Es to knife attacks and finally to murder, the MAGA forces are working up to shooting anyone not-MAGA. It's coming.

WTF?!? Border Czar Tom Homan claimed that ICE and Border Patrol agents don’t need probable cause to detain people they suspect are undocumented, saying they can do so based on factors like physical appearance. This is straight-up racial profiling, not law enforcement.
