If you are wondering what it looks like when a Court majority goes full YOLO. .. Any Roberts’ claims of restraint and judicial minimalism have been reversed in these last few terms, with more to come.

Why? What possible reason is there to destroy such a valuable collection of knowledge? Unless destruction is the point?🤷‍♀️

My god, Octavia Butler, just miss ONCE

🚨🚨🚨🚨 These are my friends and colleagues who have literally been risking their lives to document what’s going on at the private prison for profit Delaney Hall ICE detention center. Angelina was badly injured and lost her gear. Please consider donation. 📹📷🎥 www.gofundme.com/f/support-an...

Police are responding to a reported shooting in Sandy at the Cascade Crest Apartments on the south side of town. This is an evolving story. https://www.oregonlive.com/clackamascounty/2026/06/police-activity-in-sandy-amid-report-of-shooting.html  📷: The Oregonian

The fundamental design of almost all crypto, with private "mining", is deliberately intended to undermine the nation state, bypassing the law to mimic counterfeiting. They are essentially Libertarian projects & Libertarianism is an extreme ideology. Ideally non-state crypto should be illegal.

Xavier Becerra's average donation is $59. He had 11,737 unique donors. 96% of donors gave less than $100. The most common occupation of Becerra's donors is teachers! I'm a teacher & gave him under $100 because I'm not a rockefeller—or a Steyer. Steyer had only 229 donors averaging over $575,800.

The most strategic fumble I’ve witnessed among dem leaders is letting their cops beat up their constituents. And it’s been going on for years and weakening us all. It leaves people with few options but to lose faith in the entire system. And faith is all you got because there isn’t very much proof

yeah you gotta willie horton ken paxton. have the party committees and super pacs run ads explicitly accusing paxton of covering up for a child abuser. “you love your children and would do anything to protect them. so why would you vote for a man who lets child abusers run free”

Yeah that mess in Maine is really why we are in big trouble in November and 2028, Rep.Clyburn is right Democrats keep chasing the unicorn white voter that will never come through instead of turning out the base.. I am pretty much done with all of this 💩

Don't let ICE and this administration lie to you. I saw inside Delaney Hall with my own eyes. The conditions are absolutely unacceptable.

Russia is launching a new phase of pressure on the Baltic states. Moscow has announced its intention to appeal to the International Court of Justice over the "suppression of the rights of Russian speakers" in Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia⤵️

I asked Xavier Becerra about single payer… bsky.app/profile/cweb...

I've never had this type of convo with an official before. But it was clear that my future access to Hamilton was contingent on fulfilling his request. I don't need access but it did illustrate for me the pressure that beat reporters are subjected to

Sorry to post a graphic video, but it cuts off before any violence…To appreciate these drones’ hunting skills check this account for more Americans have a right to know what’s going on in Trump’s demented little brain. They’re the ones paying for his rooftop “drone empire” bsky.app/profile/maks...

It’s not the ballroom he’s obsessed with. It’s the bunker and the drone army on the rooftop. We’d be fools to let him have them, especially the latter. bsky.app/profile/pama...

@nytwirecutter.bsky.social Hiya! I could really (!) use a reliable auto ball launcher for large dog. The tendinitis and arthritis combined is making for a sad sad flooded nugget. As tips or product info would be most appreciated!

If you are ever in NY... there's now a new attraction. apnews.com/video/this-n...

Gov McMaster called the house back into session to push through redistricting. This is usually a months long process full of careful study and completed well before a map goes into effect to ensure that voters know what's happening. Watch for more: youtube.com/shorts/cr2hU...

I feel like the general public is assuming that the cutbacks in universities are merely in fields they (wrongly) consider worthless and not in fields they claim are important, like American history. No, we're *all* under attack here, and it's getting grim.

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services has halted the enrollment of new hospice and home health providers. It's the latest move by the Trump admin to crack down on healthcare fraud. www.statnews.com/2026/05/13/m...

folx, I’ve been working on AI "ethics" for almost a decade now & hate to tell you there’s no such thing as "ethical AI" the only "ethical principle" that works is regulating the shit out of the industry & to take back control of our autonomy, fundamental rights, freedoms & right to exist w/out AI

Holy shit, the CIA is doing targeted assassinations in Mexico now, like, semi-officially:

In Washington State, we also have a network of right wing Christian nationalists who are funding most of these initiatives and policies we see that make our lives worse and drive up prices. Why? It benefits them. Who is the person who is linked to almost all of these right wing groups in WA?

Apparently the First Amendment is only for White Supremacists and Nazi sympathizers.

Tired of corp execs talking about how this or that — person, city, policy — is “hostile to business” when they spend inordinate time + resources to skirt being good corporate citizens. Shape up. Straighten up + fly right. Pay your fair share. Leave a place better than u found it. Till then, hush.

On May 12, the Bellevue City Council will be hearing Ordinance 6917, a new law which would criminalize protesting outside of a politician’s home. If passed, protesters engaging in such activity would face a gross misdemeanor, fines, or imprisonment. Read more below & subscribe!

Democrats can't count on wave elections every cycle to overcome those structural disadvantages, and it wouldn't be fair to expect them to.

sorry I'm crowd-sourcing this, but ... ... what have been some of the most wild/fringe post-Students for Fair Admission cases where groups are arguing that schools (or employers) are discriminating on the basis of race in violation of SFFA (basically bc they admit/hire racial minorities)?

Anyways I guess we can see now why this administration wanted schools to stop teaching about the history of Jim Crow laws in the south.

as per melissa's thread, it is really important to understand that a major goal of this administration is the resegregation of key institutions of american society

“But many patients report withdrawal symptoms, including “brain zaps,” restlessness and flulike symptoms, and say they have received little support from clinicians in the process 📌 NOTE: have experienced these. With both Paxil AND MY ☕️MORNING COFFEE. Why not bolster supports instead of banning❓

Remember when they told everyone taxpayers wouldn’t pay a penny?

The biased tilt of Seattle Times against Mayor Wilson strikes me as weirdly similar to coverage of Daily Mail to Harry & Meghan. It’s cheap, and gross, and obvious even to those of us who weren’t necessarily gaga about Wilson the candidate. Don’t be a rag, Seattle Times.

🔔 Heads up - folks who know about these things are pointing out the map on top @MarshaBlackburn posted is DIFFERENT than the bottom one being circulated by other outlets. Nobody seems to know which map they will actually be voting on yet. And Marsha’s numbers here seem wrong.

WE ARE UNDER-REACTING‼️ If you needed any more proof that the Voting Rights Act is still necessary, just look at what’s happening right now: red states rushing to wipe out Black representation the second SCOTUS gutted it. What went down this week is going to have devastating consequences. 🧵

This is one of my favorite recurring donations:

I’m gifting this to all of you because this MUST BE TOLD. Trump is bulldozing Native American History. Satellite imagery reveals bulldozer marks running through about a third of the enormous fish etching inside the wild preserve that is over 1,000 yrs old! 🎁🔗 wapo.st/4eHD0TF
