Call me when the NYT is ready for a "12 Bitches Who Were Right about Everything" piece.

Flight from reality stays winning

🇺🇦🇮🇱 Zelensky: In all normal countries, the acquisition of stolen goods is an act that entails legal liability. This applies, in particular, to grain stolen by Russia. Another ship with such grain has arrived at an Israeli port and is preparing to be unloaded.

Literally we spent the last six months being told private donors were paying for this thing

A Trump quote without his voice or face - It's Trump without Trump This quote is unedited and 100% accurate its from the Healthcare Affordability Event on April 23, 2026 - My Crowd Was Bigger

It’s not about the practical consequences, it’s about insisting that the rules have not been suspended and that if you engage in historically corrupt and degenerate presidential behavior you will be continuously condemned for it by Congress

FRIDAY: Workers, students, and families will be calling out of work, walking out of school, and refusing to shop as part of the nationwide day of economic disruption. There are many ways you can help make a difference on May Day: survey.alchemer.com/s3/8705046/i...

In Colorado, county clerks are discussing how to respond to federal subpoenas or the arrival of federal agents at polling places... in South Carolina, officials are planning for the presence of armed federal officers at voting sites... Read more:

Allow me to tell you the story of Creepy Doll. So, my boyfriend’s longtime friend started having tragic yet bizarre things happen to her family (including a lightning strike). They started jokingly blaming it on a creepy doll belonging to her mother. Friend ended up offering doll to my boyfriend

What better way to honor Renee Good and Alex Pretti than to attend the event that Kristi Noem's former boss co-opted. 🙄

Ghislaine Maxwell abused young women & girls alongside Epstein for years. As young as 14. In multiple states. Convicted in a federal court. She belongs behind bars. I’m beyond disgusted that any of our colleagues would suggest a pardon. The real question is why has no one else been convicted?

This was the @washingtonpost.com lineup of "top stories" on my cell phone late last night. Screenshots in order:

The UK govt is Palantir’s 2nd biggest customer. Why? Or, more to the point, how? Our latest @thenerve_news investigation reveals a web of cronyism into the highest levels of govt. But Palantir also has a spin machine that uses political journalists to launder its PR 1/

I’m at the combination Comedy Central Roast of Adolf Hitler / Reichstag Fire

We know from Minnesota, Chicago, LA and elsewhere that guns aren’t a bulwark against a tyrannical government. And while good guys with guns occasionally stop the bad ones, access to a firearm increases men’s chances of becoming a victim of gun violence by around 30% and triples women’s chances.

Jeg er død.

Breaking: Trump has fired the membership of the National Science Board, which is oversees NSF. I have confirmed separately with multiple now-former members of NSB.

In our meritocracy we're told if we work hard we'll succeed, but the reverse logic is if we don't succeed we haven't worked hard enough, & in that system immigrants and benefit claimants are seen as the least deserving, those who get something for nothing, driving a sense of meritocratic humiliation

Hostel Takeover is the name of my new film about a mutual aid group that acquires a huge chain of bankrupted luxury hotels and turns them into affordable housing for young working class people.

It's not hyperbole in the least to say Musk purchased a six-month shadow presidency for $280 million and used the power of that shadow presidency to 1. Steal the government’s data, 2. Permanently damage the state’s ability to regulate his businesses, and 3, kill non-white people.

A federal judge ordered the Trump administration to stop arbitrarily holding up federal permits for new solar and wind projects. Major victory: www.canarymedia.com/articles/cle... via @mariagallucci.bsky.social

A vetted CDC report found that COVID vaccines cut ER visits and hospitalizations IN HALF. They reviewed it, cleared it, & were ready to publish it. Then officials suddenly blocked it. PSA to Trump’s anti-science administration: Suppressing information is NOT a public health strategy.

His wife: "We believed that the United States welcomed international students, professors, and academics from around the world....We believed that freedom of speech was real. We believed that the U.S. was moving closer to its democratic ideals. But now...none of this seems to be working anymore."

We are in the upside down. "In the Trump DOJ’s telling, the civil rights advocates who spent decades mapping and dismantling the Klan are somehow its secret benefactors, “enriching” themselves by secretly creating racism..." And SPLC raised cash to fraudulently keep at it! 🙄 🧾 is.gd/J2zHiS

Alex Jones yesterday, April 22nd of 2026, is once again saying the Sandy Hook massacre was a false flag done by "professional shooters." It is imperative we take over that studio as soon as possible.

Below is a statement from the unionized workers of the Southern Poverty Law Center.

Reports indicate Elon Musk controls a secretive network of over 90 companies and entities so he can hide how he spends his money. No wonder he wanted the Trump admin to “look into” the Corporate Transparency Act, which would have regulated those companies.

Totally off-topic, but did y'all the know the Free State of Florida's citrus industry is basically dead?? This is quite a story: slate.com/business/202...

ICE in Chicago this morning at Elston and Kennicott—a masked agent tells a witness (on the sidewalk) not to get in front of his car. Feds are continuing kidnappings across the city & burbs after increased activity this month. No flashy CBP caravans, just a steady stream of covert ICE arrests.

I guess this is what he means by returning “maximum lethality” to the US military.

I forget, is it good or bad that the world's richest people can spend a small fraction of their annual income to quietly bring academics and media folks to heel just by giving them money through grants, donations, ad revenue, or business partnerships.

The Maralago Mafia is a terrorist organization.

You guys. A goose is nesting under the Spoon Bridge and Cherry. This is our Romulus and Remus moment. We already became ungovernable. Now we become myth. #Minneapolis.

It’s finally happened. After 18 months. Finally, a media merger you can root for.

we've noticed and i'm glad he's getting help

1. As Jared Kushner heads to Pakistan to represent the United States in critical talks with Iran, the media is ignoring a historic corruption scandal. Kushner is serving in this role while on the payroll of the Saudi government. Let's look at the data. 🧵

You can plate it and serve it you like but it’s impossible to disguise that this is just shit scraped from the toilets of 20th century totalitarians

Sitting here crying while after getting WhatsApped the photo on the right, so let me tell you a little story about how we got here from the photo on the left and why repatriation research matters!

Justin Fairfax wanted to be remembered as a rising star. A trailblazer. The second Black man elected statewide in Virginia. He wanted the Emmett Till comparison to stick. It will not. I will not let it, and neither should you. open.substack.com/pub/goldieta...

The richest 10% of Americans own roughly 87% of stocks. The richest 1% alone own roughly half of all stocks. It's worth pointing out once again that the stock market is not the economy.

Some very wealthy corporations and people want you to think the idea of “15-Minute Cities” is a scary conspiracy. But it’s really just common sense. More things nearby without always needing a car. But have you heard of the “1-Hour City Conspiracy?” Stay tuned. #1HourCityConspiracy #UrbanTruth
