Happy Pride NYC!!! Let this Pride radiate with the spirit of LGBTQ+ joy & defiance that makes our city such a wonderfully welcoming place. In times like these, it’s especially important that we stand up for & show solidarity with our trans neighbors. (1/2)

Pelley took direct aim at Bari Weiss, the network’s controversial editor-in-chief. “She’s murdering 60 Minutes,” Pelley said, according to sources with knowledge of the situation. “She does not love this place. She was brought in to kill it and is doing exactly that.”

Eight crested ibises have been released into the wild in a north-central Japanese town, decades after going extinct in the country.

Got to love Democrats joining a political extremist who is banned from entering the UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Norway in celebrating Israel!

BREAM: The Journal says percentage of delinquent credit card balances is 13%, the highest in 15 years. People are using them for necessities. Your message to them? HASSETT: We talk to CEOs of the credit card companies all the time, and there's not any threat to them. People are taking a bit longer.

“Everything costs more and that’s a good thing” is a CRAZY economic message from the White House

🇱🇧 🇮🇱 Israel's flag flew over the medieval fortress on Beaufort in Lebanon as it warned Lebanese civilians to evacuate a large area of the south of the country ahead of stepped up ground operations

If Americans who don't know any Muslims would shut up about Muslims, we'd have a lot less anti-Islam bigotry in this country.

SpaceX's rocket crashed into the ocean. The team cheered it as a "rousing success". (was better than the last 2) 🙄 Blue Origin's rocket blew up on the launch pad. And what about NASA? They launched the Artemis II mission, perfect launch, 10 days in space perfect landing. But let's fund SpaceX. 🙄

I got almost no sleep last night, but my sleep-deprived brain came up with the best concept ever: the National Muppet Breakfast. Instead of giving powerful right-wing evangelicals access to every elected official in the government, we have our electeds spend a few hours with Gonzo et al.

The UN on Friday added Israeli and Russian security forces for the first time to an annual report documenting sexual violence in conflicts, including allegations of rape and sexual abuse against Palestinian detainees and Ukrainian prisoners of war.

Man there are a lot of people out protesting at Delaney tonight. Thank you all. Special thanks to the teams manning the tents. You know who you are.

What is happening at Delaney concentration camp is absolute clash of fascist horrors and daring defiance. Everyday people, both those held captive and those outside, are an example to us all of courage and tenacity. Portland gave us inflatables. Minnesota, "neighborism." New Jersey, uprising.

"Time has come to say the entire Iran project has been a complete farce from the beginning, portraying Iran as seeking to obtain a nuclear bomb to drop on Israel. As if there were any precedent anywhere for a country dropping a nuclear bomb on another nuclear power." www.haaretz.com/opinion/2026...

Country singers pulling out of Trump stuff is the sign that his approval ratings are REALLY bad

These people just exist in another reality altogether

You get into an exhausting loop with these things; "Israel is an apartheid state" -> "No its not! They could implement all these policies!" -> "Ok but they haven't" -> "Well, they don't have the votes" -> "Ok, so the people support it being an apartheid state" -> "No! They could implement reforms!"

A really fascinating op-ed that claims Israel can turn its international image and growing isolation around with a new government, but it doesn't mention by name any of the parties or candidates who are running because none of them have any intention of doing any of the things the author recommends.

How one man's Kafkaesque plight explains the growing hunger strikes at immigration lockups and the nightly unrest in Newark. Izzy Aly says he'll die soon unless an ICE camp in rural PA stops neglecting his advanced kidney failure. This will be more blood on the hands of Markwayne Mullin.

The fundamental issue of our day is this: Who should our government actually work for? Should it work mainly for big corporations and billionaires — or for the rest of us? Kudos to Mayor Mamdani for reminding us that government can (and should) work for the people.

Many refused to believe that Recep Tayyip Erdoğa would go so far as to have the headquarters of the largest opposition party in Ankara stormed. He went that far. And now: How does one save a democracy that has long since ceased to be one? www.sueddeutsche.de/projekte/art...

CALL YOUR MEMBER OF CONGRESS AND TELL THEM TO GET TO DELANEY HALL NOW: (202) 224-3121

Are you fucking kidding me Greg Gutfeld should try eating maggot infested food.

Early in Don DeLillo’s novel "Underworld," kids rush the turnstiles at the Polo Grounds in 1951, overwhelming ticket takers and cops. “Maybe four will get through for every one that’s caught.” The Trump regime is like this – a constant bum-rush of awfulness. And much of the corruption gets through.

One thing I’ve noticed is that a lot of non-NYC leftists almost treat Zohran as if he’s the President of the United States and can somehow meaningfully change the situations in Israel, Cuba, etc. NYC is very important but he’s the mayor of literally one city!

“Wait, let’s go in order.” They are saying it out loud.

1️⃣ I met with the detainees at Delaney Hall who are on a hunger strike because the food is inedible. The hunger strike is a desperate effort to improve the deplorable conditions.

One of the highest-stakes questions in Albany this year has been whether Governor Kathy Hochul could convince a skeptical legislature to roll back the centerpiece of New York climate policy. The final state budget makes clear that she succeeded. nysfocus.com/2026/05/27/c...

as much as i appreciate the democrats responding with vigor for once, the fact that republicans are using "transgender" as a slur for a political candidate is fucking horrifying and dems need to quickly figure out a way to address it head on. calling stephen miller ugly isn't a long-term fix.

With Trump's decision to retract the American nuclear umbrella from Europe, Norwegian PM Jonas Gahr Støre arrives in Paris to negotiate a mutual defense pact that appears to contain a component on the use and deployment of French nuclear weapons. A sign of the times. www.spiegel.de/ausland/vert...

I am curious how this sort of substance-free culture war stuff ends up working out for Republicans. They keep falsely claiming that he's a vegan even though there are photos of him eating meat, for instance.

It's wild seeing some people getting angry at this post from James Talarico (he posted it to Twitter). This is such a normal thing for a candidate to say. It's fine.

The moral character of Ken Paxton...

zohran mamdani announced a plan to seize properties from bad landlords and private equity if tenents suffer from neglect and i genuinely do not think i’ve seen rightwing circles this mad in reaction to anything i’ve ever seen before lol

At the same time, Van Hollen implicitly admits that a two state solution may no longer be possible, and says that the US will have to consider other means for achieving equal political and legal rights for all between the Jordan and the Mediterranean if Israel refuses.

Chris Van Hollen says that Biden & other Democrats have enabled Israeli apartheid while pretending to support two states, so he calls for •Recognizing State of Palestine •End all taxpayer funded assistance to Israel •Impose sanctions •Blacklist complicit US officials •Endorse Arab Peace Initiative

South African members of Gaza aid flotilla claim they were beaten and tortured in Israeli custody. "The activists said they were held for several days in Israel’s K’tziot prison, where some said they were shocked with electricity while being interrogated..." apnews.com/article/sout...

MacFarlane: I think the pope is also channeling the voices of any number of young people who are petrified of this, dispirited by this, worried about what this means for their future. Pretty silent on the home front from political leaders here. It’s nice to see the pope talking about it.

Straight from the ground at Delaney Hall detention camp in Newark: ICE just started tear gassing protestors. I’ll share video when I have it. This is immediately after Andy Kim was told that ICE didn’t want to escalate. Right.

Tillis persuaded the woman who accused Hegseth of rape to come forward. Then he abandoned her and voted for Hegseth anyway. He was the deciding vote. He owns Hegseth's reign of terror at the Pentagon. He could have prevented it. radleybalko.substack.com/p/profiles-i...
