Hellfire is the new ceasefire.

I’m sorry, what even is the theory of the case supposed to be here? Millions of people are fraudulently… purchasing themselves expensive health insurance? Like that old Dana Carvey show sketch with the idiot pranksters who pay for stuff and then run off without taking it?

This is Bodie. His presence indicates the beginning of Pride Month. May his whimsy and steadfastness bring joy and confidence to all. 14/10 the parade starts right behind him 🌈🐾 (IG: hellobodie)

PEOPLE DO NOT FRAUDULENTLY PAY FOR INSURANCE PREMIUMS NO ONE FUCKING FRAUDULENTLY PAYS FOR THINGS THAT IS NOT HOW FRAUD WORKS

The president took your money illegally and he won’t give it back

You're probably going to want to read this book. bookshop.org/p/books/some...

Every time I think "that's the most painfully obvious metaphor I have ever seen; I mean, who's writing this script?" something gets posted where I'm reminded there's always something more outlandish just around the corner

<grabs microphone> the bedbugs are a metaphor! The bedbugs are <security tackles me, drags me offstage>

Nothing says Happy Birthday America like the Trump admin blaming vandals for their loser contractors pouring gasoline directly into four of the underground cisterns that irrigate the National Mall

Hilarious and deeply insightful writing by @brianphillips.lol.

The US is now spending more on data center construction than on public transportation infrastructure

“The arbitrary separation of citizens on the basis of race…is a badge of servitude wholly inconsistent with the civil freedom and the equality before the law.” ~Justice John Marshall Harlan, Dissent in Plessy v. Ferguson, 1896. Harlan was born on this day in 1833. Image: Library of Congress.

A moment of silence for the white man, who is very much alive, for murdering a Black man, who is very much dead.

If you don’t like what you’re seeing at Delaney Hall, pay attention to what’s happening in Congress this week.   We must stop giving ICE and for-profit companies like GEO Group a blank check to create chaos.

Hormuz open next week is the new infrastructure week

I can’t believe we’re sleepwalking into this shit.

The inauguration is at the Capitol because the legitimacy of the government is anchored in Congress, not the executive.

I mean, true?

Dying over the guy who stood next to Zuck's yacht and painted it in flames.

There is no world in which this is okay.     Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito did not recuse himself from cases involving Trump’s Treasury Department while his own son was secretly working there as a political appointee and attorney. 🧵

What happened the last time Trump invited his supporters to a "wild" time in DC?

lololol it's just going to be another Trump rally.

Sometimes it can feel like nothing matters. That nothing you do makes a difference. But did you know that in 1943, after the Nazis rounded up the Jewish spouses of non-Jewish Germans in Berlin, their families gathered in the street & protested for 7 days. 1/3 www.contrariannews.org/p/somebody-h...

A reminder that my team is trying to bring some joy and reaffirmation of human agency to this anniversary with the 250 to 250 videos. Here's Pete Buttigieg talking about the Erie Canal, for example:

Misogyny is an increasing factor in far-right attacks, but it often goes unnoticed.

CBS just dismantled the most important and popular news show in the history of television at the behest of a president who regularly sics the FBI on his critics. Here’s why some NYU kids complaining about Jonathan Haidt represents the greatest threat to free speech that our country faces.

That's not how history works. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/30/u...

Weird thing to do by the guy who's always railing about men playing in women's sports

Looks like World Cup tourists will be introduced to the cherished American tradition of getting ripped the fuck off when trying to catch a ride

whatever religion this is, i’m joining

Ooooh, are we sharing fables? I got one for you. So, there's this frog that enters public service, presumably for the right reasons. He spends years as a district judge, then gets elected to the state supreme court, then attorney general of that state. (thread)

Yet another article centering Trump’s emotions. We learn here that he is ”angry,” “irate” and that he issued a “scathing rebuke” of the decision. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/30/a...

The Supreme Court decision killing off the Voting Rights Act incorrectly assumes that politics in the South have moved beyond race. bit.ly/4wwrLng

Wyld Stallyns has confirmed a bogus error in planning and in no way will be performing at the Freedom 250 Concert

My mom finally switched from google to duckduckgo, and has already substituted "ask the Duck" for "google it" No notes

The California State University system offers an early look at what happens when an administration commits to a technology that its own community isn't convinced will improve education.

Gorilla Playing Saxophone with Balloons has dropped out of the White House concert

This a hundred times.

the most surreal thing about this era of open yelling about masculinity is that, if you grew up anything like I did, you were exposed to several sets of standards of masculinity and would be hard pressed to identify which of them the Paxtons and Millers of the world are living up to

Did Nazi this one coming

BREAKING: Blue Origin's New Glenn blows up at Launch Complex-36 while attempting to static fire.

Follow this: First, Trump quietly buys up to $5 million of Dell stock. Then, he urges his followers to “go out and buy a Dell.” Today, his Pentagon awards a $9.7 billion deal to Dell. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

the clear takeaway here is that the administration wants to unlawfully seize the smithsonian and make it a temple for white supremacist “history” www.nytimes.com/2026/05/28/a...

This is bad. Bad for researchers. Bad for science. Bad for universities. Bad for professional associations. For example: 1. Every award would be vetted by political appointees, who could overrule peer reviewers and deny the award if it doesn't advance the president's priorities. 1/🧵

i mean, this could be a horrible sort of meta art statement but most likely he just stole tens of thousands from grieving parents and won't suffer from it honestly the sheer moral nihilism of the political upper classes & financial elite is a daily invite to become the joker

It simply cannot be said enough that the JPCOA was far better than any deal Trump could reach now and involved no war at all. Is there a grade worse than F?
