Yes, I am well aware

With two-thirds of the country now disapproving of Trump, I’d say there are many millions of real Americans in the anti-Trump camp. About 25 percent of American adults self-identify as part of the MAGA movement. That’s a small minority. trib.al/AqzIZ25

Data centers don’t just magically appear. Texas didn’t become the data center capital by accident. They go where politicians offer billion-dollar tax breaks, cheap power, weak regulations, and a giant welcome mat. If we’re serious about fighting these projects, follow the incentives.

This is why I can’t quit the internet🤣🤣🤣

Here’s the NBER study btw: www.nber.org/papers/w35129

I was one of the first media figures to point out that policing trans people out of sports meant doing genital inspections on children and i got labeled a "crazy extremist trans activist" for doing so.

As someone who has run a lot of road races I'm getting a huge kick out of this. Do you know how big a 10k you could have there right now?

The DIGS Lab at the University of Virginia reviewed 700+ federal, state & local policies related to data centers. Project lead Dr. Lauren E. Bridges writes that while the era of unchecked growth fueled by tax breaks is waning, the new regulatory regime is fragmented, reactive, and heavily contested.

Spent the afternoon running errands by bike in Brooklyn and Manhattan and, holy moly, bicycle traffic is off the charts. Always helpful to get offline and out of community board meetings and into the real world. We are winning The War on Cars.

Thread. There certainly is some of this going on.

What could the U.S. do with the nearly $70 billion Senate Republicans just voted to give to ICE and Border Patrol (in addition to the $140 billion from last year): www.warnock.senate.gov/newsroom/pre...

MARCO RUBIO, JANUARY 2026: "I hope people now understand. The President of the United States is not a game player. When he tells you he's going to do something and address a problem, he means it." ANDREW PUZDER, JUNE 2026: LOL jk nvm. www.politico.eu/article/us-a...

Thread.

Sigh. We fucking warned you.

Style | JD Vance has aged five years in one year of office, without having lifted a finger to do anything. What’s his secret?

Sarcasm?

Sarcasm about how MSMedia choose ppl to interview

If Democrats make the strategic calculation that they are better off WITH a disreputable colleague--something Republicans do hourly--I'm fine with that. There's no contradiction in calling Platner utterly unworthy and facing the reality that nothing--NOTHING--is more important than regaining power.

Where are the freedom-of-speech warriors? "Police Remove Diabetes Experts From Conference for Distributing Critique of Trump Administration" www.nytimes.com/2026/06/05/w...

I love this. When the reporter found out Xavier Becerra took the lead.

MAGAs

fundamentally, these are not people who believe in democracy, direct or any other kind

Adorable young kestrels surprised by a butterfly.

As we discuss in this episode, this is quite literally precisely the dilemma. We are all hostage to Trump's insistence that the only acceptable conclusion to his war is one that leads the people on his TV to say that his Iran deal bested Obama's.

Yet another sign that democracy is under siege in America. "As American elections become more tense, officials are turning to local police" www.npr.org/2026/06/07/n... This did not come out of thin air. It is the direct result of decades of voter suppression and disenfranchisement by republicans.

President Trump has said that the White House may take equity stakes in American AI companies, after it was revealed they might take a stake in OpenAI, per Reuters

I LOVE THIS SO MUCH. This is the OPPOSITE of obeying in advance. Huge high fives to the NYC DOE Civics for All Comics Group and all the creators!!!

As disastrous screwworms arrive in Texas, critics point to cuts made under the Trump administration's Department of Government Efficiency, which terminated a USAID screwworm monitoring project.

It melts my brain to see ADA call the cops to stop them handing out an article they co-wrote with John Buse. Buse isn't some rabble-rouser, he's a quintessential big pharma guy who has been doing GLP-1RA work for 20+ years. This is what his disclosure looks like. Apparently too radical! 🤷‍♂️

you should listen to my podcast about reconstruction people.com/barack-obama...

So the forces of liberalism that stormed the beach were also a dangerous ideology. cool.

Jamelle Bouie and Rebecca Onion did a podcast series for Slate on the Reconstruction. Their episodes feature historians and supplementary reading lists of primary and secondary sources. Highly recommend slate.com/podcasts/rec...

There are an infinity number of actual historians Obama could’ve done this with instead

This is more than erasing history; it's a wholesale erasure of a people and their lived experience. "List of Times Trump Administration Has Removed Race, Slavery Plaques" www.newsweek.com/trump-admini...

This is literally the plot of Camp of the Saints.

We made the White House villains list 🤣

This is literally why I changed my phone number and stopped all donations.

This is the same Trump judge who said Trump has unreviewable authority to send the National Guard into American cities

A conservative candidate in Indiana whose race is presently in a recount is combing voters’ social media to try to challenge voters, a practice that state observers say is new & unusual: www.indystar.com/story/news/p...

Yes, Donald posting this on D-Day shows what a deranged narcissist he is, but him thinking that stupid, signature dance of his is something he should remind people he does also shows how breathtakingly unaware and stupid he is.

Authoritarianism only succeeds when ordinary people and institutions are willing to carry its water. Police harassing and arresting physicians for distributing an editorial that criticizes the policies of the regime is very telling. Do not look away. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/05/w...

June 6 is D-day, probably ANTIFA's most heroic moment.

Americans say keeping up with key news topics is crucial. But fewer say they’re highly informed themselves. www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/...

Yeah, and if Seattle can get the rest of it built as planned (I believe transit fundswere cut by THAT MAN), it would be even greater.

Imagine if we'd actually built a real urban rail system that goes into densely populated neighborhoods rather than simply hugging the interstate. Imagine the explosion of ridership & economic growth we could have had!

In another example of “everything looks like a conspiracy, when you don’t know how anything works”: Trump and co. allege that “slow counting” reveals fraud, when it’s actually a signal/side effect of the security measures that are used to both prevent fraud and ensure that legal votes are counted.

Iran fired at US bases. The Pentagon reportedly flagged Israel as a spy threat. Trump cut his NBC interview short and fled to Bedminster. A stunning revelation about the Butler shooting. Your midday recap is here. www.meidasplus.com/p/saturday-a...

At an event today but do I hear right that Hegseth basically said "you need to push the invaders off your beaches" at a * D-DAY * commemoration???

Trump wouldn't need immunity from his SCOTUS for criminal behavior it he weren't engaging in criminal behavior. Trump wouldn't need immunity from his DOJ for tax fraud it he weren't engaging in fraud. Trump wouldn't need Florida's AG Pam Bondi to ignore consumer fraud if he hadn't engaged in it.

After consulting with my attorney I’ve been advised that what I actually want to say about this would be ill-advised so I’ll just say that he couldn’t possibly be clearer about which side of D-Day he’s identifying with
