This is terrible. ICE separated a single mother from her son, and deported her without him, leaving him in the care of her sister’s abusive ex. Who murdered him.

Turns out a Navy willing to execute civilians in boats in the Caribbean to produce snuff films for the president is a Navy willing to let the FBI director treat a tomb as a fun frolic

They had contracts for prison labor at these camps?? Before they even bought them? www.projectsaltbox.com/p/contracts-...

got a big ol dumper? social cues sometimes a stumper? I’ve got news for you

An island?

Trump hearing "cisgender" and thinking its "six genders" then getting all mad about it, thus forcing other Republicans to agree that the libs are now demanding there be six genders, is a perfect encapsulation of our Golden Age of Dickishness and Stupidity.

flew all the way across the world to have xi insult him and the united states and fly back empty handed, loser-ass president

For you to understand how much the world has changed, in the 1970s as a second grader we were REQUIRED to watch the TV show adaptation of ROOTS. REQUIRED. www.knoxnews.com/story/news/e...

Trump: "I call it a little pain. The oil goes up."

Remember when they got so big mad about the “you didn’t build that” Obama quip?

"President Xi said what you've done in the last fifteen months is a miracle." Well yes I imagine that from the Chinese government's point of view Trump's actions over the last fifteen months must indeed seem fairly miraculous.

More than seven years before Trump became president he was named in a deposition by a an Epstein victim as someone who was well aware of what Epstein was up to. www.rawstory.com/trump-epstei...

Exactly! There is so, so much. So many people do not realize the difference between a million dollars and a billion!

Vance wraps up his speech to one of the most tepid rounds of applause I've ever heard 😬

Piggies at the teat. Justice for crimes! Tax wealth!

Article 5 has only been invoked once in NATO’s history. Invoked by the USA after 9/11, our allies answered the call even as we misbehaved in our misplaced vengeance. The Orwellian revision of recent history they are selling here is brought to you by the unprincipled nihilism of weak, greedy men.

Xi Jinping deliberately placed Trump and his lackeys in front of the COMMUNIST FLAG!!

There is a statue of author Alex Haley in East Knoxville, TN. Knox County just removed Roots from all school libraries.

I engage with hundreds of Trump voters every day. Been doing it for 7-8yrs. I often hear a similar take from the ones who finally do wake up & break from Trump. It’s the lies. When they finally realize that he’s been lying to them every day, some will say “that’s it, I’m done.”👇

Scoop: The Tony Dokoupil Beijing fiasco somehow got worse. Not only was the “CBS Evening News” anchor unable to broadcast from China, but CBS News also had to scramble for a new Taiwan location after hotel management objected to the setup. Details in @status.news: www.status.news/p/tony-dokou...

Trump must have just learned that when Xi Jinping invoked the Thucydides Trap to his face, he was essentially calling the United States a nation in decline. Now, Trump is trying to spin it, claiming that Xi must have been talking about Biden. Really humiliating stuff.

Between 2021 and 2024, USAID is estimated to have saved 91 million lives. Before it shut down, the agency accounted for less than 1% of federal spending. The collapse may have already caused 762,000 preventable deaths and could lead to more than nine million preventable deaths by 2030, study says.

Trump’s Border Patrol chief abruptly resigned amid allegations he traveled abroad to solicit sex workers

The MAGAt red carpet 😂

My grandma used to tell me she was “just resting her eyes,” but I knew she had dozed off. The difference, she wasn’t the President of the United States in the middle of a televised meeting.

JD Vance, the VP of the man who is currently shaking down the DOJ for a $10 billion "settlement" and the Treasury for an additional $1 billion for his tacky, vanity ballroom, appearing at a "Protecting Taxpayer Dollars" event, is shamelessly comical.

BERMAN: The president said 'I don't think about Americans' financial situation.' How much do you think about Americans' financial situation when it comes to Iran? REP. MARK ALFORD: He was saying, look, he does care about the American people

New in PN: The assault on higher ed goes deeper than you think "This is bigger than budget cuts. It’s not just a continuation of things like longtime GOP efforts to cut Pell Grants. It’s a wide-ranging assault designed to drastically limit access to higher ed for all but the rich & well-connected."

Xi told Trump that a major question for the two countries was whether they could avoid the “Thucydides Trap,” according to an official English translation of his remarks broadcast by CCTV. @cnbc.com www.cnbc.com/2026/05/14/t...

President Obama: “We pulled it off without firing a missile. We got 97% of their enriched uranium out. There’s no dispute that it worked and we didn’t have to kill a whole bunch of people or shut down the Strait of Hormuz.”

People will be like ‘Bluesky is all academics & historians’ & I’ll be like, ‘You mean the people who enthusiastically tell me the coolest shit I ever heard?????’

Holy shit this piece will melt some eyeballs. Writer argues Dems need to take drastic, even once-unimaginable tactics in response to Voting Rights Act being gutted. He writes: "Patience is the enemy now" and we have to stop asking people for it. betterdonkey.substack.com/p/the-vra-wa...

interesting rationale from a prospective juror in the Elon Musk Twitter stock manipulation case

Historian of Reconstruction, required reading for Mike Johnson: Congressional debates over Reconstruction amendments and laws. Opponents called them an assault on whites for guaranteeing equality regardless of race, color or previous condition of servitude. #theriseandfallofthesecondamericanrepublic

When white supremacists described the first black politicians winning elections in the South during Reconstruction, they too called it a "reign of terror" that innocent white people had to suffer under. Black leaders! Elected to federal office! Can you imagine the indignity?!

🚨BREAKING: South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster (R) is expected to call lawmakers back for a special session to redraw the state’s congressional map and eliminate its lone majority-Black district. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
