They can't solve anything because they refuse to understand what the problems actually are and when their attempts inevitably fail it's someone else's fault because the answer cannot be that Trump is fucking stupid

Thomas House of Dublin exhibiting the pro-human solidarity that all of us should demonstrate.

I call Elon Musk a Nazi because he's an avowed white supremacist who undermines democracies, incites pogroms, targets minorities, intentionally caused the death of >750,000 people (so far) while laughing about it ("feeding USAID into the wood chipper"), and did a Sieg Heil at Trump's inauguration.

... We've heard hundreds of policy proposals tonight. How many of those are significantly, realistically possible as long as Donald Trump is president? As long as this corrupt regime is here, the priority has to be to impeach, convict, and remove him. ...

It’s time to call this out. The most unqualified person to ever be SecDef is blocking the promotions of high level people for racial and gender reasons not related to their experience or merit. That makes him a person with racist and sexist issues - and a hack who weakens our armed forces.

It will probably never happen the way I wish it would but there really needs to be a national conversation about how the media gamed to push Biden and Harris out because A) They hated them for being boring and B) They wanted their content cash cow back in the White House.

30 year incumbent 😶

There’s a saying passed down from earlier generations of Black Texans who were there for the first Juneteenth: “It was not a piece of paper that freed the slaves, but the men with the guns.”

We are suing to prevent Donald Trump from controlling mail-in voting by dictating to the Postal Service of whose ballot they will and won't deliver. All of this is laddering up to Trump trying to dictate who gets to vote and who doesn't.

There is a lovely symmetry to right wingers talking with him, because they're not just convinced that they're correct, but that it should be obvious to everyone else that they are. They experience no doubt, only confusion at how they could ever be proven wrong.

On the one hand, I'm gratified that she's finally found a happy place where she can be loved... On the other hand, no one who doesn't pay rent should be this comfortable on my couch 😶

If Constitutional rights are something that a despot can "weigh suspending" for his convenience, then there is no Constitution and we should draft a new and better one as soon as we excise the despot and his party from every level of government. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/15/u...

One very important thing: DO NOT LIE to the Feds. Lying to the FBI is a crime, even if the behavior you're lying about is legal. Plead the fifth if you're not comfortable answering honestly. Or just do it anyway because fuck them. But don't lie.

a little on the nose for capitalism that the world’s first trillionaire is a nazi conman

It’s worth mentioning in every news story that this deal is substantially worse for the US, and far more lucrative for Iran, than the Obama nuclear deal Trump blew up almost a decade ago.

“Those who welcome terrorism powers being used against pro-Palestinian activists today would be appalled to see them used against [others]. But that is how these powers will travel. They will expand far more easily than they contract.” #mustread from Zeteo UK:

Seguin Today reports on a Texas election administrator who resigned under political pressure and harassment from a local Republican party chair:

"Guys like me." Racists Grifters and conmen Imperialist slave masters Rapists and child molesters

What if, instead of doing Hollywood rumors, journalists focused on the fact that this "war" (yes the chyron's correct) is neither approved by Congress nor the UN Security Council & thus is an egregious violation of the US Constitution, international law, & our signed, ratified treaty commitments?

Ummm.... no.

There's money behind this. These attacks, this movement is being promoted and funded by ultra-wealthy racists and hate mongers who want to destabilize western cultures. This is not organic: Robinson (Yaxley-Lennon) is a paid provocateur.

It’s a pretty weird week when a guy who wants to be a trillionaire is simultaneously getting headlines for the economy-shattering IPO expected Friday and the racist pogroms he is accused of stoking — but these stories are viewed as separate and in no way connected or prescient of the future.

I do not think that people should be on a website owned by this man

This is as strong of an argument as I've seen for staying off twitter.

Those of us in the global north have a lot to learn from folks in the global south. globalvoices.org/2026/06/02/r...

From Fox News lol

It's easy to shrug off the idiots claiming that the incredibly accomplished politician Spencer Pratt was cheated out of a rightful win in Los Angeles. But they're going to make these same claims in November, so we need to carpet bomb this conspiracy out of existence right now.

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.

You know who else is at the Knicks-Spurs game tonight? Jared Kushner. About him...

I am starting to wonder if shutting down a chunk of midtown and forcing Knicks fans to spend an hour-plus waiting outside so a widely loathed bigot could sit in a weird glass box and stare grimly into middle distance and then fall asleep might have had an effect on the energy in the building

Pathetic. Trump is privately demanding his advisers find a way to reach a deal with Iran that TV commentators will compare favorably to Obama's 2015 deal, per the Atlantic. On the pod, @emilyhorne.bsky.social is good on how this perfectly captures why we're stuck: newrepublic.com/article/2114...

"The funniest possible outcome of the AI mandate era is about to be HR departments discovering that 'sincerely held religious belief' under Title VII has a much lower bar than they assumed, and Pope Leo handed every Catholic employee a written excuse" www.businessinsider.com/worker-got-r...

Ultimately this isn't something that stresses me out a whole lot because it's one of those problems that tends to sort itself out one way or the other

There is something brutally psychically injurious to being constantly told "just do good work and you'll be successful" while watching people who do the most dogshit work possible do all the succeeding.

Marjane Satrapi 1969-2026

She got her start promoting lies about college professors. Whether or not she knew these were lies at the time, she must know that now since it's been well documented. She's not a journalist, she's a useful idiot.

And we are live! Massive thanks to everyone who contributed to this. Reading your posts made me so much madder than I ever knew was possible

oh no how will we generate pure unrefined mediocrity from the midden heap of stolen human interactions where will I get my fresh artbarf, my hot steaming infoslurry

Note to media: police arresting peaceful protesters singing “give peace a chance” is not protesters “clashing” with police. It’s the state violating the First Amendment rights of people upset that human beings who did nothing illegal are being held without due process and being fed maggots.

NEW: The Trump administration's DOJ has been systematically removing materials from its websites regarding the many indictments and convictions related to the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. In response, @lawfaremedia.org has been systematically restoring them:
