quite a headline (and it’s right)

/26 But I digress. This gets worse and worse. And even when we get a different administration, DoJ will be permanently crippled by this. You can’t get that trust back. There need to be severe consequences. Personally I think a lot of this is less truth-and-reconciliation and more pock-marked wall.

“officials discovered two industrial-scale water hookups feeding a data center campus located 20 miles south of downtown Atlanta. One water connection had been installed without the utility’s knowledge, and the other was not linked to the company’s account and therefore wasn’t being billed.”

My “this is not a golden calf” shirt is raising a lot of questions already answered by my shirt.

The number of immigrants who are opting to leave the country because of the bleak situation this administration has created for them is heartbreaking. Whether people are snatched off the street Bovino-style, pulled into the system through jails, or intimidated into leaving, those are our neighbors.

Happy birthday, big man

NEW: ProPublica identified at least 79 children who’ve been left screaming, unable to breathe, or otherwise hurt by tear gas and pepper spray during Trump’s historic immigration crackdown.

I know this is so low on the list of evils of this administration but goddamn this is such goddamn low rent illegal house flipper shit painting granite my lord

For the past several years I’ve been working on a database of Pennsylvania’s surviving county slave registrations. Now, a pilot site exists. I hope JTR will demonstrate the value of collecting these materials in a single place. There’s more to do, but I’m proud of this. justandtrue.lib.uiowa.edu

The Trump Administration has been using law enforcement to target elected leaders, particularly Black elected leaders, since they singled out Ras Baraka and LaMonica McIver when they tried to inspect a detention center.

There isn't much that could ever keep me away from ice cream but we're discovering it goddamnit

This has to be the funniest question AND response I've ever seen in a poll. Less than half of Republican men think they could beat Trump in a fight. What a bunch of pathetic losers.

AFSCME members in Harrisburg tried to get answers from their representative Scott Perry while he's home in the district. Rep. Perry voted to cut Medicaid and SNAP to fund tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy. We deserve leaders who will represent working families – not billionaires.

They call them "data centers" because “mass-surveillance centers” would be harder to sell.

In all, at least 75 career federal officials who’d played important roles in elections have left, been fired or been reassigned. In their place are roughly two dozen people Trump has installed in positions that could affect elections.

No notes.

we all have our vices and i'm a hypocrite for judging them like this but "bringing back smoking" is an idea periodically floated by the dumbest people alive whose only real belief is edgelordism. i am totally unwilling to hedge on or reconsider this opinion

Headlines saying this Supreme Court decision "curtails the use of race" in voting are going to make me have a stroke. It empowers white supremacy. It does not curtail the use of race.

"And once this ballroom is completed, the Red Death will never be able to reach us. Never!"

lol lmao

Your regular reminder that cops don't actually justify their existence or enormous budgets by solving much crime. Approximately 11% of all serious crimes result in an arrest, and about 2% end in a conviction. And then there's this...

INBOX: Amid rising tendons between Trump and Pope Leo, the administration has abruptly canceled an $11 million contract with Catholic Charities to shelter and care for migrant children who enter the U.S. alone, ending a relationship dating back to the first arrivals of Cuban exiles in South Florida.

“The US Attorney's Office doesn't lose cases because they're bad lawyers,” said a former prosecutor. "If they're losing a case, it may mean that the evidence isn't there, or it may mean that the community doesn't believe it should be a federal crime.” New @propublica.org @frontlinepbs.bsky.social

I am hearing Amazon just fucked up a sports broadcast. Boo! They also worked a guy to death in a warehouse last week and then told a tearful worker who wanted to help give CPR to look away and keep working.

what i'm taking from this is we're not bullying these people nearly enough

holy shit this rules

Huh. It's almost as if labor produces value. Interesting.

everyone knows the first rule of negotiations is to send your most charisma-negative people

OOOF, all of the wage growth over the last year erased in one month

Absolutely remarkable statement from Pope Leo today. One for the history books www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

I am so angry. Two Durham, NC kids - 11-year-old Genesis and 6-year-old Denis of Burton Elementary Magnet School - were taken by ICE at their regular asylum case appointment, and immediately deported without due process. Follow SiembraNC on IG or FB or @siembranc.bsky.social for next action steps.

I imagine it takes a LOT of frustration for rank and file soldiers to openly say the Pentagon is lying.

By declaring the Presidential Records Act unconstitutional, the Justice Department is effectively claiming that the presidency has private ownership over the American story. It doesn't. @laurenleharper.bsky.social latest for @theintercept.com on why the DOJ's history killer memo can't stand:

ok ill bite why do you guys call him strategy cheese

I can't decide what is funnier: deciding that picking a fight with the literal pope is going to work out well for you OR the masses of fellow catholic school kids now huddled around in full sickos.jpg mode watching it unfold

Brutal.

Ed's office pretty much told me he will not be going to DC. Which is the same thing @warren.senate.gov's office said. @whipkclark.bsky.social's office said the same thing, but incredibly rudely. The MA delegation will only be posting. #mapoli

The Moon: oh wow you guys decided to come back Artemis II crew: earth’s haunted

Millions of American voters wanted to be villains. They came to believe it’s the key to success, while goodness is weak, woke, loser stuff, done only to signal. Offered the option of unvarnished villainy, they enthusiastically took it. Seeing others suffer more made them feel big. And here we are.

hey chat is it good when politicians are sending fundraising emails talking about the "survival of the human race"

Absolutely heartbreaking. So many mathematicians I know studied there, men AND women. Maryam Mirzakhani studied there. If this isn't enough to cancel/relocate from the US the International Congress of Mathematicians #ICM2026, nothing will be.

Just to be clear, Donald Trump does not care if a bunch of journalists wear pocket squares with the First Amendment written on them as a “protest.” First of all, the man is functionally illiterate

This is absolute trash. Kids are submitting their original art for AP Studio Art classes. Claiming copyright over that work is genuinely evil.
