Hang on, guys, I was working on a book and then trying to go through all these trailcam videos for a couple days and now you’re telling me somebody built an ACTUAL GOLDEN IDOL OF TRUMP?! Somewhere, St. John the Divine is tearing his hair out and yelling that it was a metaphor for ROME, holy shit…

Tear it down if it's built at all. If something has to be built, rebuild the East Wing and make a spectacle of taking down all the gold BS.

It truly amazes me how the NYT just does not think smaller publications are worthy of being cited in its pages.

I hope she is sitting in her mold castle having just the worst day because of this

War can have big environmental impacts, in addition to the human and economic impacts. Large oil spills caused by US, Israeli, and Iranian attacks on energy resource facilities won't simply disappear when the war ends.

did Giuliani die or did no one in media ask for an update

THIS

This is an insane solution. And needs to happen immediately. VA legislature should retire the whole state Supreme Court and appoint a new set of judges who will uphold the vote of the people.

Trump Media, the parent company of Truth Social, just reported its 2026 Q1 results. It lost $405 MILLION on $900,000 in revenue.

AOC on possibly running for the Senate or President: They assume my ambition is a title or a seat. My ambition is way bigger than that. My ambition is to change this country. Presidents come and go, elected officials come and go, single payer healthcare is forever.

Zelensky issued an official presidential decree authorizing Russia to hold its Victory Day parade in Moscow tomorrow. He included the exact coordinates of Red Square. That's it. A+ trolling.

@maggiemaefish.bsky.social is super creative and this is bound to be a hell of a ride.

New Mexico has spoken clearly and lawfully—that we will not be a party to illegal and unconstitutional violations of our communities’ civil liberties and human rights. We stand by our state and local laws and the protection of our communities.

Today, Virginia’s courts directly undermined the will of the people, who voted for the ballot measure to determine their own future. Make no mistake, this is the fight of our generation—but the fight is bigger than one state or one ruling. There are difficult days ahead, but we won’t back down!

Yeah, if they take away my brain meds, I’m sorry guys, but you’ve read your last T. Kingfisher novel. I will be too busy weeping uncontrollably in bed.

"those who make peaceful revolution impossible, make violent revolution inevitable." - JFK

We are all we've got. It's increasingly hard to say that after Virginia's SC just nullified votes, but we have to keep voting, in even larger numbers than ever. Greater numbers than in 2008.

It's time

It’s time.

Sure is important we curtail any attempts at democracy, otherwise this country might be in trouble...

Just in: The Court of International Trade has struck down a second round of global tariffs ordered by President Trump, after his earlier import taxes were outlawed by the U.S. Supreme Court. The decision is a victory for importers and a setback for the administration.

Folks, pls don't share photos godforsaken Tennessee Holler @thetnholler.bsky.social thieves circulate. Screenshot of a tweet looks like crap. No credit to photographer, a Black man. Support @nashvillebanner.bsky.social! Credit: Martin B. Cherry/Nashville Banner nashvillebanner.com/2026/05/07/t...

like a butterfly dropping into its grave, of course. a phrase we’ve all used and a very normal, relatable kind of image that conveys clear meaning. i’m always saying this. so beautiful, like a delicate butterfly croaking mid-air and gently floating into a tiny open bug grave at the insect cemetery.

This is probably gonna gain traction soon, so I want to ground everyone before the fear that may come. The purpose of memos like this is probably best understood as to create fear. If they had the resources and ability to conduct mass crackdowns on trans groups, they would just do it.

This headline from Justice Roberts and the red banner of what Tennessee just did to Memphis after the SCOTUS gutted the Voting Rights Act..

Be prepared to do what you can to protect your trans umbrella loved ones, check in on them, make sure they are ok, and further, please, please vote, and speak out

This is a big decision! Mass termination of National Endowment for the Humanities grants (remember DOGE doing this?) "unlawful, unconstitutional... and without legal effect." Terminations violate 1st Amendment & equal protection component of 5th Amendment, "and without statutory authority."

In a moment that is testing me, I’m lucky to have these women standing with me in the fight for accountability from this administration.  I spoke with Marie Claire about why I’m not backing down—and how it’s easier to stand up with my fellow congresswomen by my side.

Today, we published 61 transcripts and excerpts of testimony heard by the Fulton County special purpose grand jury. The transcripts include the never-before-seen testimony of prominent Trump allies, including Rudy Giuliani, Lindsey Graham, and Cleta Mitchell. bsky.app/profile/anna...

Important rules for the "age verification" era of the internet that we're living in: 1. Do not do age verification. 2. If you have to do age verification, cheat. Do not under any circumstances give them your real ID.

At a press briefing on Wednesday, Gorka replied to a question about what impact the Iran war might have on terrorist threats by calling critics of the war "testicularly challenged."

If this is true, the Class Action better be so fucking big we're Asking Jeeves again. ...On Opera.

funniest thing i’ve ever seen

@gabygoldstein.bsky.social: What's coming next "is a redistricting war unlike anything we have seen, fought not primarily in Congress, but in state capitols, where the stakes are higher and the spotlight dimmer." talkingpointsmemo.com/cafe/we-aren...

Scandalous on many levels: the cover up, the risk to troops, the material losses, the lack of preparedness, the losses to a much “weaker” foe, the cost, and the fact we brought this on ourselves, it was all so unnecessary.

This reads like we're talking about hunting billionaires down like whales for ambergris. Which I totally, 100%, unequivocally support.

The State Department has officially terminated hundreds of Foreign Service Officers who are qualified, trained, and have years of experience.

Really fucking disappointing.

Because of fucking course.

2/ Even more disturbing is that ChatGPT responded with lots of encouragement—after I asked about imitating the Uvalde shooter’s choice of AR-15 rifle, livestreaming the shooting with a body camera, using hollow-point bullets, and defending against police gunfire. Watch here: youtu.be/zuLs7af4VfM
