So not only did TN Republicans strip Memphis of representation, Speaker Sexton is also stripping Dems of committees for protesting it. Watch fascism work. www.wsmv.com/2026/05/12/m...

Rep. Justin Jones burning a Confederate flag during the special session on Tennessee redistricting Jones: “It’s a form of Jim Crow terror — this is about race. This is about power. This is about silencing communities that have historically been excluded”

Primary thing Epstein suicide note proves is that billionaires are the worst writers in the world.

Pour one out for the Hilton staff who are working perhaps the worst shift in food service history rn.

It’s hard not to see Vance’s criticism of the Pope’s theological bona fides as just silly hubris. But I also see it as a stress test of sorts — can they manipulate sentiment against a pontiff. Not for Trump’s interests. More likely for Thiel’s.

Here's the thing... posting a meme about his messianic complex is actually the LEAST offensive thing Trump has done to scandalize Christianity

I think it's a good thing for politicians to call for his removal from office. They need to get to work on removing him.

easter bunny? bad’s brother?

Shouldn't today be Friday?

“Where‘s Wallace?!” Getting his fuckin flowers that’s where 😭♥️

This is one of the funniest corrections I’ve ever read

The Roberts Court has a clear set of guidelines: the president can do anything he pleases, so long as it does not violate the rights of the owning class.

good news everyone, supreme court justices are beholden to their corporate benefactors over their fascist overlords

Alysa Liu: "THAT'S WHAT I'M FUCKING TALKING ABOUT" 🗣️

Getting shown up in the arena of elite impunity by *the British monarchy* is an incredible “America at 250!” achievement

Reading American history will break your heart a thousand times but it will also fill you with such admiration and awe for all the people who were excluded from the protection of America’s founding principles and fought to promote, protect and expand them anyways

If you think there’s NOTHING in our heritage (or in any nation’s) to be unapologetic about, you’re a fool. A dangerous fool.

We (teachers) have been warning you all about this for a while now.

How long until the Patriots pull Brady in?

a woman reached out to donate 500,000 delta skymiles to get people home to MN as they are released from custody in TX. we're getting flights booked today. it should be enough to get at least 15 people home. delta should be doing for free since they take ICE money.

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning. Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

The world feels like its on fire, but things like this is why im thankful to be born in this day and age with science advancing like it has been. These are heroes www.unilad.com/news/health/...

Ebooks cost public libraries money. Public libraries should be properly funded.

New Cancel Me, Daddy episode is up already on Patreon. We loved having @jamellebouie.net on in this critical moment in history. We'll be releasing the public youtube version Monday evening, and the audio Tuesday morning =rather than the usual Thursday release.

All the women will end up taking the fall.

A CHILD'S NOTE ABOUT ICE RAIDS TO FRIEND 💔

A moment of silence that ends with someone shouting "fuck ICE!" and the crowd roaring in response

I think a lot of us get hope wrong. Hope, I do not believe, is an emotion. In fact, hope makes space for lots of emotions to exist alongside it. You can DO hope scared, angry, sad etc... Hope doesn't find us. We make hope through action and struggle. It's a practice of living and is re-made daily.

NEW: Another declaration you have to read! Alex Pretti was shot near the apartment of a doctor, who saw the shooting occur and rushed to provide emergency aid as he lay dying on the street. They describe what they saw: "The victim had at least three bullet holes in his back."

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.

Trump's DOJ was monitoring all the movements of the Miami Herald reporter who was covering the Epstein case.

this image is maybe the single greatest joke in TRADING PLACES. and also a pretty apt description of the trump/vance/national conservative vision of america

the last 24 hours have been nightmarish in their violence, and I just am so angry this is the world we are in and god damn it

the good that you do persists in this world

It tells you so much about people on Wall Street and Silicon Valley that Oliver Stone's "Wall Street" and Fincher's "The Social Network" inspired people to work IN those fields, rather than against them.

One of the worst parts of the modern condition is having to listen to billionaires airing out the stupidest policy ideas, random musings, and other mental detritus. It’s unbearable.

Like 30% of the country is absolutely enraged because they thought they were going to be able to be utter shitbirds without anyone being allowed to call them shitbirds, but here we are, calling them shitbirds.

Zohran flip your hair again we need healthcare get him to give us healthcare.

How long before they 25th amendment him for this love fest with Mamdani?

For my newsletter, I wrote about Olivia Nuzzi and the older men who have taken advantage of her her whole life. www.burnsnotice.com/olivia-nuzzi...

I do not care what any consenting adult of any gender configuration does sexually with other consenting adults, and also my God, could you sweaty freaks who tragically currently run the world be a little a more goddamned discreet about it?

Trump doesn’t have to call on House Republican to vote to release the file. Trump can order Bondi and Patel to release the files. Tomorrow. The question is, has he already ordered Bondi and Patel to destroy some of the files after they went through them months ago.
