2025: A year of unprecedented cruelty, corruption, and criminality. May 2026 be the year of altruism, activism, and accountability.

1. BREAKING Sharyn Alfonsi, a correspondent for 60 Minutes, sent an internal email to colleagues stating that CBS News editor in chief Bari Weiss “spiked our story” about the Trump administration and the transfer of deportees to a prison in El Salvador.

There is absolutely no bottom. They will kill and murder and steal and break the law and laugh at every rule and institution until they are stopped. They think they are all-powerful and all conventional rules of morality and legality do not apply to them.

Enten: "Canada is far more popular than Donald Trump is here in the United States. The net popularity of Canada is +49. Trump is -10. We're talking about Canada coming out nearly 60 points ahead on the net popularity ratings versus Donald Trump here in the US"

Congress basically doesn’t exist at this point

DC J6: 1.500 arrests DC No Kings: zero Tell me again which side is violent?

At the Toronto #NoKings rally

It’s not just that the President of the United States posted a video of eleven people being murdered in international waters it’s that the President of the United States ordered the murder of eleven people in international waters so he could post a video of it.

The entire Jack White post is straight up 🔥

Once again, Trump got "tapped along" by Putin.

This is precisely the reason why Google and Apple developed the erase/clean-up mode for photos.

Moving scene - tears, hugs, and cheers - inside the State Dept HQ last night, as diplomats gathered in the lobby to clap out their laid off colleagues, some of which have served for decades 👇🏻

Have his makeup products already been tariffed? Because 30% of his face is unblended.

What would America look like without Stephen Miller? You would be able to walk the streets without fear of being abducted by masked militia. Your kids would go to a public school that had more empathy and safety. Classrooms would be filled with laughter and learning.

God:

Terrifying account of traveling to the United States of Ideological Litmus Tests and Police State Intimidation.

Heading out to the #NoKings rally in Toronto outside the US Embassy with this sign and a resolve to defend democracy anytime, anywhere.

This is about the most un-American statement ever uttered by a President of the United States.

Starting to wonder if we took one for global civic democracy. Electing Trump basically seems to have knee-capped every revanchist far-right candidate in the world. You're welcome, world.

After months of baseless claims about “extreme levels of fraud” within Social Security, Musk's DOGE has found only 2 likely fraudulent claims out of over 110,000—that makes it a rate of .0018%. So DOGE found virtually no fraud and made an integral American system less efficient.

Facts not fiction.

Public bribery

How do you get away with outrageous corruption and unimaginable ethical violations? If you're the Trump family, you do it in the open and dare Congress or the DOJ to do something about it — which they won't. #ButHisCrypto

Hey, remember when Joe Biden launched a memecoin the day before his inauguration and then his family promoted and pumped the coin and then Biden invited the top investors in his memecoin to an exclusive dinner and Fox News was cool with the whole thing because the president has can do what he wants?

A concept of deals.

A playlist of my favourite new music released this month.

"With Trump changing his mind by the hour on trade policy and bullying his chief central banker on a daily basis, investors of all kinds are simply limiting their exposure to a nation they now regard as a risk asset rather than a safe haven."

I was not prepared for this Bluesky jumpscare.

Trump continues to claim that the grade school level photoshop of MS-13 on Abrego Garcia's knuckles is real. The stupidity, lies and cruelty are beyond comprehension.

1 Torsten Slok, chief economist, Apollo Global Management: “By depreciating the #dollar and starting a #tradewar about #goods, which make up less than 10% of #US #GDP, the US is risking that the rest of the world will slow their #imports of the 80% of the US economy that is #services …” 🧵

"I have nothing to do with Russia", Trump said the other day. The truth is he has nothing to do with Ukraine and doesn't give a damn about its sovereign rights and the fate of its people. Where is the outrage? Where are the sanctions against Russia?

I see the prospect of a US/Japan trade deal is getting rave reviews — in Japan. 🇯🇵 @calltoactivism.bsky.social

The Trump administration is embracing a new cultural agenda to reverse declining birthrates and push conservative family values. Conservative family values: Trump - 5 children from three mothers Musk - 14 children from four mothers

"China did not come after the toy Industry jobs in the U.S. In fact, China POWERED U.S. JOB CREATION and allowed companies to build, scale, reinvest, hire, and grow. Onshoring/repatriating and reindustrializing manufacturing would walk our industry back to the Stone Age."

SCOTUS fixed it for you, @WhiteHouse.

"Trumpism is driven by a primal aversion to the higher elements of the human spirit — learning, compassion, scientific wonder, the pursuit of justice...Trump’s acquisition of power will take a concerted response to beat it back...We have nothing to lose but our chains."

WSJ EDITORIAL BOARD: “.. The Supreme Court has repeatedly held that the government may not use federal benefits or funds to coerce parties to surrender their constitutional rights. This is what the Administration is doing ..” @wsj.com www.wsj.com/opinion/dona...

Cancel vacation.

Harvard FTW: "The university will not surrender its independence or relinquish its constitutional rights. Neither Harvard nor any other private university can allow itself to be taken over by the federal government."

China to Trump: "You don't have the cards."

Screwing in little screws is the perfect epigram for the Trump administration.

Casino Royale.

Today, the President used the authority we have entrusted to him for four years to single out for punishment a single person for the crime of telling the truth about an election he lost. This should terrify you. This should provoke bipartisan outrage. This alone justifies impeachment.

"When pressed, several senior officials conceded that they had spent only a few days considering how the economic earthquake might have second-order effects." If this was a business, the Board would have fired them all by now!

In any other administration, the president would already be huddled with advisors trying to stave off collapse

Rand Paul: "The whole [tariffs] debate is so fundamentally backwards & upside down. It's based on a fallacy & the fallacy is this: that somehow in a trade, someone must lose. That somehow when you trade with someone, someone is taking advantage of you... I have a trade deficit with my grocery store"

Rand Paul: "We have to start from talking about the truth. One of the things they say with Canada is, 'Oh, there's a 270% tariffs on dairy products going from the US into Canada.' Well you know what the real tariffs is? Zero. That's a big difference between what the truth is."
