And too often we see this as putting the U.S. at a disadvantage, as if some other country will do all the research instead. Much of it won’t get done. It’s planetary loss.

One year ago.

Forget celebrating the world's first trillionaire. It's the culmination of a failing political and economic system that rewards the richest and endangers nearly everyone else.

They literally met in the Situation Room to come up with a defense for the President of the United States raping children.

BLUMENTHAL: Was the Capitol attacked on J6? TRAYNOR: The actions on January 6 were deeply troubling to watch, but I'm not going to characterize it B: You are perpetuating a lie. I don't know how you can continue as a district court judge, let alone serve on court of appeals. Frankly it's shameful.

This Aussie is spot on, it will take years or decades to get rid of capitalism from the government. It’s not just Trump, it’s everything behind him, oligarchs, money, corruption, corporations etc. How can we fix this?

Your daily reminder this should be the biggest scandal in American politics right now but nobody seems to care. Ken Paxton freed a man who raped a boy for 3 years. He also doesnt have to register as a sex offender. www.texastribune.org/2026/05/19/k...

Hoping that someone on HJC points out that one of the SD mosque killers were on the FBI radar, but Kash failed to stop it, and that ADL had warned about the Evergreen shooter, and FBI's response was to stop accepting tips from them. @raskin.house.gov

You should ask yourself why all of the people who are screeching about election fraud on social media are always unwilling to repeat these claims under oath. Let me help you: it’s because they know they’re full of shit. The entire purpose is to keep people angry.

I’m not saying that these guys don’t hang out at various clubs and retreats and do little bits of collusion and back scratching they absolutely do but you also have to remember that extreme wealth has limited their strategic acumen. this much money is like getting kicked in the head by a horse

I simply do not believe that He Who Created The Heavens and the Earth feels glorified by the exact same chord progression and soft tenor voice every single time

We are ostensibly a free country and the degree to which we don’t know what is actually going on in a vast network of “camps” on our own soil in the year 2026 is….. something we are probably never going to come close to actually grappling with as a country

“I struggle for adjectives to adequately describe the horror that this administration has visited on the world,” said a former State Department official. “It keeps me up at night.” Revisit this story from our series “The End of Aid,” a 2026 Pulitzer finalist.

so far, much of the analysis of Callais out there is focused on what the Court's rulings did to the Voting Rights Act, which is reasonable but now I want to talk about what the Court did to the Constitution bc the threat of Callais goes far beyond the VRA alone ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/alito...

For many evangelicals, "what it means to obey God for them means bringing this nation under God's laws." - @kkdumez.bsky.social (~30:09) In a nutshell, this is why evangelicalism is discordant with our pluralistic constitutional democracy. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_DoF...

Anne Hathaway, you will ALWAYS be that girl. 💙💛

It cost me $177 to renew my driver license today. Requiring certain ID to vote without making that ID easy, accessible, and free is 100% a poll tax.

Quoting scripture is not the same thing as living by it.

“The supreme court betrayed Black voters, they betrayed America, and they betrayed our democracy.” - Barack Obama

as long as john roberts has his majority, there is simply no pro democracy reform that will survive the supreme court. none.

"The US Supreme Court..has calculated that Magna Carta is cited in at least 160 Supreme Court cases since 1789, not least as the foundation of the principle that executive power is subject to checks and balances." A British King just did a better law interpreting US law than some Justices have...

The greed is sickening. #greed #crime #evil

And do you think you're supposed to care about Palestine because it's poor them, pity on those people so far away & so unlike you? No. You're supposed to recognize your humanity in them & act to honor their humanity. That's solidarity. Which y'all don't have trying to get rich, at all.

BIPARTISAN FORMER WHITE HOUSE ETHICS OFFICIALS CONDEMN RETALIATORY PROSECUTION OF SPLC @democracydefendersfund.org statement 👇🏼

There it is. The ONE way to get an iPhone to take a good picture of the Moon

I don't think I'll ever get over Clarence Thomas ruling on cases related to Jan 6 knowing that his wife was an active participant in the attempted coup. Or ruling on cases related to government regulations and a wealth tax knowing he took gifts from billionaires. It's a disgrace.

He might as well answer in Russian.

Mamdani: "What are we fighting for?. When you look back at the history books of our party, 100 years ago we had a very clear vision of what we were fighting for. It's sad that for too many Americans, when they want to look for ambition in the Democratic Party, then have to turn to a history book."

We Deserve Better Than This….

BERNIE: “The time is long overdue for members of Congress to listen to the American people and end US military aid to the extremist Netanyahu government.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

The idea that the President of the United States could publish an image of himself as the Messiah and no news outlet covers it is the biggest indictment of the American free press.

If Eric Swalwell's behavior was "well known" how come nobody said anything? It's a big club. Others do the same and are complicit. Anyone who isn't running on accountability and cleaning house shouldn't bother. The people are done.

Victor Orbán’s removal sends a timely signal. Corrupt kleptocratic Christian nationalism was on the ballot in Hungary today — just as it will be on the ballots that Americans will cast in November. It was repudiated abroad — may it be repudiated here in November (and beyond).

I’ll have what Hungary’s having.

Octavia E. Butler, 1998:

I don’t think people around the world realize how bad the attack on Lebanon was today. It’s BAD. Like 9/11 BAD. Hospitals are overflowing and do not have enough blood. We still don’t know what the death toll is. This is TERRORISM. Pure and Simple. April 8. Never forget.

The more I think about the 70,000 ICE incarcerated without due process the more I think we are underreacting. People are literally trapped inside for profit prisons. We need to do something.

The fact that republicans are getting away with everything and we don’t have much power to stop them is why we kept saying 2024 was an incredibly important election.

The flourishing of Christian Millenarianism in the United States has always been one of the most threatening aspects of the American Empire. We have had the technological capacity to manufacture our End of Days for decades but only now are zealots at the wheel. www.mediamatters.org/us-iran-rela...

I feel sick to my stomach waiting around to see what atrocity Trump has in mind for the people of Iran this evening. It's hard to fathom our other elected leaders aren't able to check him in any meaningful way. It's an indictment not just of voters but of our whole system. We're ruled by a mad king.

Tfw a Muslim mayor honors a Christian holy day better than the ‘Christian’ president

A reminder that we didn't go to the moon just to do it. In order to land the first time we had to invent three things: the personal computer, the pocket calculator, and cellular technology - three things that changed humanity on the whole over the last 56 years. Going again will affect the next 56.

NASA is honestly one of the greatest things humans have ever created, the stuff of math and dreams

Both of Marco Rubio’s parents were born in Cuba. Marco Rubio was born in Miami in 1971, before they became US citizens. He is a US citizen because he was born in the US under birthright citizenship. #Hypocrites
