Good. 🤘

The Helen of Troy controversy is ridiculous. It’s not history, it’s fiction. How many real historical figures get whitewashed by Hollywood? Why’s that’s ok? Also, in Xena: Warrior Princess, Helen was portrayed by a Black woman, and that was in the 90s! How is inclusive casting a scandal in 2026?

Donald Trump should be on the hook to restore the East Wing out of his own pocket. He tore it down based on a unilateral decision; our tax dollars should not have to pay for this shit. And I know I’m not the only one suspecting the real plan is to never leave.

Not only did two neo nazi teens attempt to copycat the Christchurch mass shooting, the world's richest man falsely blamed trans people for it. Not a single outlet covered that he spread that disinformation.

🎯 I am so tired.

This is another reason why the only path forward is for Dems to bite the bullet and implement proportional representation via increasing the size of the House and mandating single multi-member districts. You can't have a constitutional democracy in a two-party system if one party is authoritarian.

Spain FM José Manuel Albares: "I have seen a monstrous, undignified and inhumane video where members of the flotilla were unjustly and humiliatingly treated by an Israeli minister..." "I demand their immediate release and an apology from Israel." Promised EU-wide sanctions on Ben-Givr. #eupoli

From my own personal experience, for anyone doing AI- assisted work on race, slavery, colonialism, resistance, and violence... DON'T. I tried running some writing through AI, and it would strip out language about race and violence. "Ask" it why, and it will gaslight you.

The absolute fucking insult to injury here is that he's using the language of reparations re: these traitors. THAT'S the headline. "Just compensation for people who were mistreated by their government" oh you mean like a Constitution protecting slavers? FHA's redlining? Mass incarceration?

Happy Tuesday! I’m outside DOJ —about to look at more unredacted Epstein Files. Our investigation continues. Here’s an update on what’s happening this week: ⬇️

critically this was the case in 1870 when the 15th amendment was ratified! there is literally no such thing as partisan gerrymandering and manipulation of voting rules in the south outside of the context of “white reactionaries want to neuter black political power”

Remember when a candidate for the House here in NH sent me a *text* message that opened with a photo of a SWASTIKA so he could brag about being a good ally? Well all a bunch of progressive groups in NH just endorsed his candidacy 🥴 I won’t be voting for airbnb exec Christian Urrutia #NHpolitics

You can redraw districts, but you cannot erase the power of the people. This week, I spoke with @justinjpearson.bsky.social about our continued fight for voting rights — even in the face of efforts to silence and divide us.

They think that you’ll just move on after they dodged your question once or twice cause you have limited time. I’m more than happy to spend my entire time getting the answer to my damn question.

People seem legitimately surprised that Trump is using his tweets to pump stock he owns and buying or selling based off of confidential information he receives as POTUS. Grifting is his entire personality. Why is anyone shocked?

Since Nakba Day is tomorrow (US time), I thought it would be a good time to remind people on here that "the Arab states told Palestinians to flee on army radio" is a definitively disproven myth and has been disproven since at least 1959. Even Israeli historians admit it is untrue today.

The US and China are discussing a “board of investment” that would potentially allow Chinese companies to invest in the US in non-sensitive industries, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said

China’s going to roll the United States and either get everything they’ve ever wanted or let us hang and die and the hardest part of the whole thing is going to be keeping a straight face as Trump continues to show just how easily manipulable he is. The man fell for simple, simple political theater.
