Difficult really, to think of a single, more disgusting act a journalist can commit than lying to the public to justify someone being murdered by their government for activism. But this is who these people always were.

The thing about this is not only is it liberal massachusetts but there have been thousands of red state trans people who have fled here in the last 3 years and it's us masshole queers making sure they get settled Seth Moulton is nowhere with that work. And he pops off blaming us. Fuck off

Sorry but the way we vote in L.A. makes no sense. Every registered voter is sent a ballot, votes, drops them off, and then an army of workers methodically and with full transparency works through them to ensure there are no mistakes and you get a text and email if there's a problem? That's fucked.

Great place for this

What a fucking disgrace

WE USED TO DO REAL SCIENCE

"The study found that resettled refugees contribute $6 billion more to the U.S. economy than they take out. Per year. The Trump administration did exactly what you’d expect: They suppressed the study, and then they lied about it."

Daily bunny no.3441 is going all the way

I have my issues with Bluesky and its management, but the fact that so many people who work in media are desperate to present it as a failure because it didn't instantly dethrone Twitter is so weird. Especially when it's one of the only sites that doesn't bury their own link posts.

This is an insane take that shifts the assets of the United States from belonging to the People of the US into personal belongings of the President. It changes the President from the servant of Americans into the king of them.

NOOOOOO. They took Giles! I was just enjoying his appearance in Warehouse 13. www.bbc.com/news/article...

A Simple Plan is streaming on Amazon Prime, a contender for Sam Raimi's best, bleakest movie (and, it's still on Kanopy and Hoopla)

Imagine the pure joy of getting to write this www.nytimes.com/2026/06/04/u...

George Santos called me after my story revealing federal investigations into his suspected market manipulation on Kalshi. And he said: "This story is going to get you a gun in your face." Then he lied about it. www.npr.org/2026/06/04/n...

When the interviewer says "Where do you see yourself in five years?" It turns out you're not supposed to say "Living in a bog, handing out quests."

House Republicans joined by 4 Democrats vote to literally take food away from pregnant women and children

In the final days of the session, @atucomms.bsky.social @riaflcio.bsky.social Local 618 drivers continue to to fight for their members and riders! We are so grateful to have their voices in our campaign! Thank you to all of the drivers & staff who keep showing up on the RIPTA State House Special!

Some good news on the public records front, maybe?

Magnificent piece. Also lmao:

Look what they took from us

This is real btw

trump is uniquely good among politicians at taking credit for everything that happens, and that has given him a reputation as a guy who Gets Things Done (even if they’re bad things) but it makes deflecting blame for shit a lot harder for him, especially shit that’s clearly his fault

I saw Marjane Satrapi speak about her work at Smith College 19 years ago, and she said something I have thought about and taught ever since when I teach comics. “I draw what I can’t write and I write what I can’t draw.“

Well this just made me very sad www.nytimes.com/2026/06/04/w...

The regulatory state is more important to the smooth operation of society to which we’ve become accustomed than anyone in this administration realizes, and in a lot of ways, we’ve already run off the cliff and are just starting to look down

If only we could, like, invest these millions in local businesses, rather than preserving literal junk.

Man this is so, so Rhode Island. Abandoned rail bridge got stuck 'up' many decades ago and poses safety and pollution risks, not to mention tying up waterfront land, but change is unwelcome here

Public officials are still planning to move the bus hub out of Kennedy Plaza; riders are still opposed "Some wealthy businesspeople downtown don’t want to look at poor people... It’s gross, wrong, classist, and we in the General Assembly should not waste the people’s money on such a stupid idea."

lmao he knew he had to defend the shoes hahahahahaha

I think I that Bari Weiss and her crew think that 60 Minutes inherently has value, when it’s the people who’ve done the hard work for years that have earned the respect and trust that brings value.

Much of the coverage of the proposed rule emphasizes its effects on science. But it also extends to grants going to nonprofits & local govts. It encourages democratic backsliding by giving Trump one more tool to threaten civil society. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-creep-...

Full statement of Scott Pelley after he's fired from CBS 60 Minutes, detailing the sort of corruption of journalism Bari Weiss has brought to CBS News:

One thing Pelley is doing that's very smart is dropping the existence of a bunch of stories about political bias, interviewees picking interviewers and "incompetence and unprofessionalism" without actually telling them. Creates natural avenues for leaks and followups over next few weeks.

And this is critical because Congress explicitly and clearly did not enact an intent-based test when it reauthorized the VRA despite John Roberts personally urging them to

Scott Pelley is leaving, but not before he drops a big stack of receipts on what happened at 60 minutes. It's worse than you could have imagined, and bless this man for fighting as hard as he could and then tearing down the blackout curtains so we could see what's happening inside.

This is truly one of the worst things the court has done — both in terms of legitimacy and in terms of the law — since I have been covering the court.

This will not end w/ voting rights. The fundamental premises of these SCOTUS opinions are: 1) Anti-discrimination is actually unconstitutional discrimination; 2) Intentional discrimination isn't actionable if any alternative rationale is presented. It's the beginning of the end of civil rights law.

It's ridiculous that police departments make up around 30-50% of the average municipality's budget, but those same police look at you like you're stupid if you ever ask them to investigate a crime.

This heinous ruling confirms a worst-case-scenario reading of Callais as an all-purpose shield for racist lawmakers who want to gerrymander Black communities into electoral oblivion. And it’s outrageously partisan—a totally unprincipled gift to the GOP. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

This is worded wrong. Supreme Court allows Alabama to use overtly racist map that disenfranchises Black voters after falsely claiming they were not overturning the Voting Rights Act.

The Court has gone to war against its own legitimacy

George Santos: 1. Posted a video the day before Trump's State of the Union saying he was going to be there 2. Bet on Kalshi that he would not attend the SOTU 3. Did not attend the SOTU www.npr.org/2026/06/02/n...

Hungary has signalled it will drop its long-standing opposition to Ukraine’s bid for EU membership, allowing it and Moldova to begin formal negotiations to join the bloc in the coming days, four diplomats told POLITICO.
