$12 million. That's how much taxpayer money the Trump Administration spent to rehire the same federal workers they'd previously fired. Talk about waste, fraud, and abuse – this Administration commits all three on a daily basis.

Photographers are swarming to the Kauffman Foundation pond for a chance to see a brown booby — a tropical seabird usually found in the Caribbean. Some Kansas City birders speculated that it followed the Curaçao team for their World Cup match this coming weekend.

A wee group of angry balaclava and mask-wearing anti-immigration guys tried to stop the good people of Glasgow showing solidarity with migrants and standing up to racism and fascism. Well, the far right are far outnumbered... #RefugeesWelcome #MigrantsWelcome #NeighboursNotStrangers #Glasgow

Edward Luce in the Financial Times about Musk:

The war in Ukraine has now officially lasted longer than World War I. As of Thursday, it's been more than four years and three months since Russian President Vladimir Putin sent troops into Ukraine.

"Iran just blew up a month worth of healthcare, so now we are unloading 4 months of healthcare on them, and Israel is also unleashing 3 months of health on Lebanon. Which is why we can't have any healthcare at home."

Not just in Great Britain. Musk and X are existential threats. (See MAGA, Trump)

ICE roundups are off the front page, out of the news, getting fewer clicks. This does not mean ICE is off the streets or out of business. Don't let passing news cycles and short attention spans allow ICE to win.

The anticipated influx of World Cup fans was often cited as motivation for a temporary jail facility in Kansas City NO PAYWALL 👌 www.nytimes.com/athletic/730...

Agreed. We wouldn't be dealing with all the nonsense had the press properly covered Trump from day one.

This is absolutely nuts: hackers are hijacking high-profile Instagram accounts by simply asking Meta's AI chatbot to change the email on the account. Meta's AI does it, hacker gets password reset code, they're in. A staggering security issue www.404media.co/hackers-simp...

Trump Economic Advisor Claims People Spending More On Groceries is a Sign They’re ‘Optimistic About The Future’

We have to stop data centres from being built.

Human activity has turned all of the planet’s 3 main rainforest regions – the South American Amazon, south-east Asia and Africa – from a carbon sink into a carbon source Humanity is a failed species headed for the dustbin of history😪 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

For every post complaining (laudatory) about the MSM ignoring a story, you have to share an independent journalist who is doing the goddam work. For me, that’s @whitneycwimbish.bsky.social. This story masterfully connects the human suffering with corporate interests. prospect.org/2026/05/28/d...

Jimmy Kimmel infiltrates Trump’s cabinet meeting to help heap praise on him and his work with extraterrestrials, or however that word's pronounced.

I get sick and tired of being told I can watch some movie or tv show on Prime when I actually have to subscribe to some other service to watch it there.

Georgia Power is using eminent domain on 330+ properties for power lines linked to Project Sail, a massive 829-acre data center campus. They claim it’s for grid strength, but we must unite to stop these mass surveillance centers & save our future.

The adtech industry’s obsession with harvesting and selling personal data is no longer just creepy and destructive to common citizens. It is a matter of life and death. U.S. troops deployed in active war zones are being exposed through location data, and the Pentagon has confirmed it.

The best way to honor fallen soldiers is to avoid careless reasons to create more of them.

I. Love. This.

A Kansas memorial lists 15 Black soldiers killed during the Civil War. Their lives are a mystery. kansasreflector.com/2026/05/24/a...

call me crazy, but i think forcing the adoption of tech that intentionally hollows out the human labor market and accelerates climate destruction in order to concentrate wealth is just mass-murder with extra steps

You know the U.S. is most of the way to a dictatorship right now, and heading further in that direction, right? Can you please let the mainstream media know about it? They seem to be actively trying to downplay the biggest story of their careers.

I fear Britain and France are soon to discover how many trumpers are in their midst

Every day I read at least 3 posts on different topics that all claim "this should end the trump presidency". It's gonna take at least an army. Politicians (either party) just ain't gonna do it. Hell of a way to celebrate 250 years! .

Your reminder that cyanide kills people too

A long but worthy read. But will any democrats pick up on it? www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

Yet another reason trump and the republicans have got to go

Mike Johnson says those in Congress can’t survive on 174k a year. Here's an idea then: Let's CUT their salary to the median income for all Americans and find people who survive on that much, so we can have representation that accurately reflects the way the electorate lives.

Civil rights activists have returned to Alabama today in the wake of SCOTUS gutting the Voting Rights Act and Confederate states rapidly gerrymandering to erase Black-majority districts. #FreedomSummer2026

69 cities, counties, and towns have imposed bans or moratoriums on new Al data centers driven by community resistance to surging energy and water use, higher utility bills, and lost land for farming and housing. Don’t let up. The fight is far from over. The people, not corrupt politicians in the
