We should NOT allocate an appreciable amount of the dwindling Colorado River flow to be turned into nothing when we can't even meet our treaty obligations to give native tribes their fair share.

Some random dude questioned why I have "data centers" listed in the middle of questions of fascism, justice, and equity, and anyway, long story short, it's because they're an issue of fascism, justice, and equity.

I'm so fucking tired of hearing that trans kids need to eat shit. That we need to let lawless bygones be bygones. That data centers get all our water and we just need to adjust to the future. That the Supreme Court is static and we just need to sit there and not have rights.

At caucus, they asked us, the party faithful, if we should add "abolish ICE" language to the Colorado Democratic Party platform. It passed with 98% approval. 98 fucking percent. That's why we're mad. Because y'all don't match our energy.

Well, great...

Trump’s DOJ has charged 15 anti-ICE protesters in Minnesota. The charges are based on his national security memo that categorized “anti-capitalism,” “anti-Americanism,” and “extremism on migration” as domestic terrorism. This is what tyranny looks like.

Thanks to the miracle of technology, we’ve removed an enormous source of friction when understanding American history by allowing white people to speak to a black person without ever having to be in the room with one

If the Tate brothers were revealed to be serial killers, I wouldn't be surprised at all. I have no proof whatsoever beyond the fact that all the other precursors and signifiers are there.

The Lincoln Memorial is this nation's secular temple. It's solemn and sacred space. And this is desecration.

My wife just woke up and heard the cheering and said "Did Trump die?"

The last time the Knicks won it all, the president resigned the following year. Just saying.

when It Happens, everywhere will feel like NYC feels right now

5. At the same time, the government released a report showing that Medicare is also facing uncertainty. It is expected to become insolvent a year later, in 2033.

4. More than 56 million people depend on Social Security. They won't stop getting their money. "Insolvency" means Social Security won't be able to meet its full obligations. So benefits will likely be cut by about 22 percent, the trustees said, if the Congress doesn't take action first.

Lol USA booed at the opening ceremony for the World Cup which is starting in Mexico

A FIFA referee has spent more time in federal custody for being Somali than anybody on epstein's list for raping kids.

BREAKING: A 43-year-old has died in ICE custody, marking the 19th death in immigration detention this year and at a pace on track to exceed last year’s deaths in detention.

But yeah the reason why people at Tommy Robinson marches or whatever sound like they’re reading from a script - stop the boats, fighting age men, invasion, Muslim rape gangs etc - is that they effectively are, and Meta is the main publisher of the material. We’re a decade too late here, but still.

It is, in effect, a totally covert network for those who use it to disseminate information - bad actors will show their output to who they want to see it, and hide it *fully* from view from those who don’t. This is why Facebook must be regulated *as a publisher*, with total responsibility for what…

This is literally a private company refusing access to a government official.

Albania is erupting for the second consecutive day in angry mass protests against the Kushner land seizure deal worth $4 billion.

My colleague, photographer @jpotg.bsky.social, was hit by a car owned by a GEO Group employee while documenting ongoing protests at Delaney Hall. GEO Group employees earlier took to macing and batoning protestors blocking vehicles.

Oh this makes me so happy!!

Dear @meidastouch.com Please hire Scott Pelley! Have him join Scott McFarlane and maybe extend an offer to Yamiche and Joy and Stephen Colbert and Ronan Farrow. You are in a position to make a journalism/political network all star team.

This is really important. “More than 100 retired NASA astronauts have banded together to form a new nonpartisan organization…” and its members believe deeply in “principles such as the rule of law, checks and balances, and the peaceful transition of power.” Follow @astronauts4america.bsky.social

He’s not even dead this is so fucked up. We held moments of silence for Melissa hortman, her husband, her dog, and many others that have been murdered and the mn gop holds moments of silence for a murderer.

Ohio gave Meta, Google, and Amazon a sales tax break for data centers. It was supposed to cost $136 million in 2025. It cost $1.6 billion. Gov. DeWine vetoed the legislature's attempt to end it, insisting the tax exemption is needed to lure data center developers. signalohio.org/ohio-data-ce...

When all of this is over, when all the tell-all books have been printed, all the trials concluded, all the people with nothing left to fear by speaking up... we're going to find out it's all been so much worse than we ever thought it was. That the whole thing was absolutely and totally awful.

I would have thought federal agents tear gassing a sitting US Senator (from the tristate area!) would have made the front page news, but what do I know… @nytimes.com

I NEVER want to hear ANYONE ever complaining about the deficit and spending when the President, his family and his cabal of corruption ARE DRAINING OUR TREASURY TO LINE THEIR OWN POCKETS TO THE TUNE OF BILLIONS OF AMERICAN TAXPAYER DOLLARS AND NOBODY IS DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT

🚨"THEY TOOK ADAM!"🚨 ICE agents can be seen using brute force and tasers to arrest a reported medic and veteran who was positioned across the street and away from the protest crowd outside Delaney Hall detention center in Newark, NJ. Stay tuned while we investigate. WATCH LIVE 📷

Governor @tinakotek.bsky.social you’re up next!

They bought all of our choices, political, lifestyle and economic. But they did not wager the cost of our *refusal*. It is fascinating. Grim but fascinating.

AI is the lynchpin of the whole political project. It’s the container for the parallel governance they have promised each other. I truly think that they are surprised that people don’t like it…and that they can’t yet wholesale punish everyone for not liking them.

I’m glad they’ve got this - ahead of many agencies games here - but I think a key second step here is widely promoting this site so people know it exists (and weaning off X/Twitter especially, which very few people actually use).

During the devastating fires a few years ago in southern Oregon people were scrambling to find up-to-date + desperately needed information—and horrifically—most was only on FB. Ridiculous + tragic abdication of government.

my gf works corporate and is on a training about AI and there's a word cloud for "what do you use AI for." the largest word by far is "Nothing" and the trainer is PISSED

New from me: Talked with @letsgomathias.bsky.social about his new book, To Catch a Fascists, about the importance of antifascist research and it's role journalism in the era of Trump and the alt-right. politicalresearch.org/2026/05/19/h...

Okay, so hear me out: Republicans want Christianity in government, right? So Dems put up a bill called Matthew 14:17-19 about providing free school lunches to students. Then Republicans have to go on record voting against Matthew 14:17-19. Make them own their bullshit.

"Data Centers" are nothing more than surveillance centers that also happen to kill the environment. Fight to keep them out of your state.

The word God, Christian, & Bible appear exactly zero times in our Constitution, the foundational document of the republic. In fact, when the Framers touched on religion, it was to keep it separate from the state: no establishment of religion, no limits on free exercise, no religious test for office.

Watching a series of former Confederate states rush to eliminate any vestige of black representation in the House pretty much answers the question whether the Voting Rights Act was still necessary.

Social media has what seems like disproportional importance because so many other ways of finding people, and sharing information & ideas have been gutted. If the media fairy came along and said I could trade all of social media for every metro having a print weekly again. …in a heartbeat.
