Welch: Melania got $40 million to do a piece-of-shit documentary. She went out of her way to let the public know that she does not have sex with him. Every time Trump is around someone attractive—he seems to have a type: look at Zohran, the UFC fighter, or the Saudi prince—he can’t stop himself.

So Trump rushed the Reflecting Pool job, overpaid a crook, they did not prep the surface right, they used the wrong paint, and they filled it prematurely. Thus, the paint wouldn't stick as well on top of the fact that it shrinks when it dries; causing cracks. The temperature also promoted... /1

Well, good news Mr. President, you are not Hoover. (2024 Presidential Greatness Project Expert Survey)

I was unable to hunt down a better photo but Doctor Franklin has been given a Glasgow makeover, alongside many Boston statues, by the Tartan Army. He'd probably be amused by this.

I didn’t do it this time @kelsapellettiere.com

Tessa Thompson: As a Black American, there is a kind of bone-tired exhaustion in fighting the battles that we have fought so many times before, and insisting time and time again, generation after generation, that people have the right to exist even if they speak out against the state.

Julia Roberts: We all feel like, “I can’t turn the news on. I don’t want to hear it.” But we have to hear it. We have to face it. But if we keep inhaling and exhaling, we will prevail.

Can’t help but notice all the people who said Obama would desecrate the White House with Escalades and rap music on the South Lawn are absolutely loving this UFC fight on the South Lawn. Probably just a coincidence.

Apparently, all new teachers of English across the whole of France are now triggered by me. 7 hour agrégation exam, one question.

FIFA referee flashed the white power sign.

A SECOND person died of exposure last winter after DHS dumped them in the middle of nowhere, miles from their home, without notifying their family.

As a #Veteran I find this abhorrent. DJT refused to serve, was caught disparaging the military, and used graves in the hallowed grounds of Arlington for a disrespectful photo op. Imagine if @barackobama.bsky.social had used the south lawn for a 🏀 tournament with Marines guarding the court …

This aged like a Trump peace agreement.

If Trump drew the biggest crowd in history it was for the removal of his name. As of yesterday, upwards of 100,000 people watched the live stream. #Pinks

Yes. Revolting is the exact word. Downfall of the American Empire, indeed.

Trump used the Armed Forces Full Honor Cordon — soldiers who escort fallen heroes and heads of state — to usher UFC fighters past Abraham Lincoln’s statue like they’re celebrities on a red carpet. I am LIVID.

The few. The proud. The dirt bike jump ramp security guys.

Reminder: The UFC is holding this Vegas-style spectacle on the White House South Lawn to promote its own brand. The People’s House has been turned into a corporate sponsorship opportunity.

#OtD 13 Jun 1936 the man circled in this photo, believed to be August Landmesser, a shipyard worker in love with Irma Eckler who was Jewish, refused to give the Nazi salute. Learn more about German resistance to Nazism in our podcast: workingclasshistory.com/podcast/72-e...

I can finally make group chats in DM’s!!!! YESSSSSSSSS

See? This is why you always have a shrine to Ben Franklin on deck to summon some nasty weather.

The Bible is pretty clear about worshiping false idols. “You shall have no other gods before me. You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them…” Exodus 20:3–5.

Your regular reminder that when David Duke ran for statewide office in the early 1990s, the MAJORITY of white Louisiana voters pulled the lever for him. This was AFTER they’d seen the pictures of Duke in a Klan outfit and a Nazi uniform.

Same. I was a kid and didn’t understand who he was at the time.

Bison bison are a national treasure and far more valuable to this continent than any one human being; especially one as vile and stupid as the current President of the United States.

"And the Lord said unto Moses, Go, get thee down; for thy people, which thou broughtest out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves." This literally writes itself.

JK Rowling is now represented by a trans person in the Scottish parliament. Absolutely incredible.

30 more exams to grade and then I am done with my last semester as a graduate instructor! Don’t worry though! I will still be around Ole Miss because I got a Visiting Assistant Professor position!

We will not get a second Reconstruction from people who don’t defend the first.

April 30, 1776: The Continental Congress' naval committee sends Commodore Esek Hopkins a letter that coldly reminds him his mission this spring was to protect the Chesapeake from British ships—not to carry out the raid he undertook against the Bahamas, which delivered dubious results. 1/3

It’s the 250th year of American independence, and the Pope and the King of England are reminding Americans of their revolutionary values, principles, and ideals Somewhere, John Adams is confused as fuck

Charlottesville used bookstore’s got game

First laugh of the day

A 26 year old voter somehow did not understand the role taxes serve in a functional society and expected Trump to wave his magic pixie wand to get her more money. An absolute failure of our education system to teach civics has blown the foundation out from under this republic.

King Charles: I cannot help noticing the readjustments to the East Wing. I'm sorry to say that we British of course made our own small attempt at real estate redevelopment of the White House in 1814.

Thank you for all the congratulations everyone!!!!
