The case of Fetterman baffles me.

May the 4th be with you

New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez won a historic sum of $375 million in a landmark child safety case against Meta earlier this year. The next stage of the fight begins today, and it could be even more consequential for Meta and the social media industry at large.

What do school support professionals need? Not just a liveable wage, but a thrivable wage. More job training & professional development. More support on the job. How do we do this? By working together & educating our communities about what we need to help kids soar. @psrp-aft.bsky.social

Sweet. I hope he is fuming.

There's a new movement to bypass Citizen's United, and it very well could work... montanafreepress.org/2026/02/02/t...

No, it is the schoolyard strategy of petulant bullies.

BREAKING: Justice Alito has temporarily blocked the Fifth Circuit’s May 1 order restricting the abortion pill mifepristone to in-person dispensing, preserving telehealth, mail, and pharmacy access through 5 p.m. EDT Monday, May 11.

Hmm. Is Vlad merely (justifiably) paranoid, or is this a real possibility? I'll be watching this space.

This is what happens when rapacious, unlimited capitalism manages to take over the government. The government is supposed to be in place to promote the interests of the people, including protecting them from exploitation. Failing that, the people suffer and capitalists thrive.

Brava, madame! Well played!

Just a heads-up for anyone who might care, but I don't like or repost anything from someone who has comments and quote posts turned off. You don't want to interact with me? I won't interact with you. And by the way, Release the Epstein files.

And 86 the Epstein files (see what I did there?). But I suppose that falls into categories 1 and 3.

As promised.

I'm going to send thoughts and prayers to Rudy Giuliani. Just as soon as I finish my laundry. And solve the so far unsolvable Collatz Conjecture math conundrum.

Well said! *applauds* Well said!

Just got to say, not only are cephalopods fascinating and astonishing, some of them are FABULOUS!

I love this. I blame the proximity to Canada for how awesome Minnesota is.

Except when they are baldfaced lying about how shitty blue places are.

This is more accurate than people realize.

Considering what they are guilty of, they won't last long in there.

Letting men decide about women's health care is like letting your dog make decisions about your car because he likes to ride in it sometimes.

"Iran just sent me a new plan to review. Instead of looking at it, I'm posting this worthless nonsense. Mainly, because details—and reading—aren't my thing, but relentless shitposting on the hilariously named Truth is."

I love how every interview with Bryan Cranston where "Breaking Bad" comes up he has to tiredly inform somebody "You realize Walter White is a terrible person, right?" "But you're a good looking white man, Bryan! How can that be?" "You see the point I'm making. You just don't realize it yet."

Well, look at that. If this is coming from Fox, the number is probably higher.

This week, the Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act in a devastating 6-3 decision. If you're as furious as I am, I hope you will consider joining our team. We are hiring experienced attorneys to help our clients fight for voting rights and democracy. ats.rippling.com/elg-careers-...

At the airport this morning for my flight back home from Phoenix, and I can’t help but notice that no one is dressed up in a suit like Sean Duffy wants. I don’t know how we will survive as a society.

Never underestimate the Ukrainians. They are fighting for their very existence. Putin is fighting for an egoistic delusion. Who do you think is more motivated? Slava Ukraini

One side feels shame, the other doesn't. One side votes for election changes, the other imposes them. One side supports the law and the Constitution, the other defies both. There is a difference.

Even FOX can't hide this reality. Pay attention to what is happening in Louisiana. Canceling the election is going to be his only option. Start preparing NOW!!! WE THE PEOPLE WILL VOTE!!!

Trump's approval on the economy just hit the worst number ever recorded for any president. Three polls now show Democrats with double-digit leads on the generic congressional ballot. Democrats outmaneuvered Republicans on DHS funding. And King Charles went toe-to-toe with Trump. Not a bad week!

Imagine the ancestral shame people are going to feel decades from now, as they go through a deceased relative's attic and discover a taboo MAGA hat.

I am so worried for the people currently being locked in concentration camps. ICE is a terrorist group. They’re cruel and abusive. They murder people without consequence. We know there is torture and death from the personal accounts of victims. They’re also probably hiding deaths.

"Freedom is not a state; it is an act. It is not some enchanted garden perched high on a distant plateau where we can finally sit down and rest. Freedom is the continuous action we all must take, and each generation must do its part to create an even more fair, more just society." —John Lewis

The editorial cartoonist's pen is one of the sharpest tools in journalism, whittling issues down to basics for satire or rage. I'm proud to say that my long-ago colleague, Milt Priggee, is unafraid to shock with a tough point of view.

Bill McKibben on the solar energy boom: “Sunlight has to travel 93 million miles to reach the Earth, but none of those miles go through the Strait of Hormuz."

Never have 4 people more wished they were still in the deepest, darkest recesses of outer space.

We need to be acknowledged as human beings with needs and feelings, and the right to control our own destinies the way men control theirs. We need to be able to define ourselves utterly separate from how men see us.
