After scrolling down a few screens, I don't see any posts dealing with the World Cup. What's the deal, fellas?

Can you spot the difference?

Where's Donnie Diapers??? He's been MIA for 8 days! His physician, U.S. Navy Capt. Sean Barbabella, declared the 79-year-old "fully fit to carry out all duties of the Commander-in-Chief and Head of State." That guy needs to be fired and his med license yanked. www.rawstory.com/trump-disapp...

On President Trump's appointment of Bill Pulte as DNI. Every word of this statement by Senator @markwarner.bsky.social, Vice-Chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, is spot on.

I’m thankful for the endorsement of @tomperriello.bsky.social and look forward to working with him to serve the people of our region who have lacked real representation in Congress for years.

This is counter-productive, authoritarian and chilling. The British state should not be in the business of banning commentators and journalists from entering the country, without compelling reason. Finding their views objectionable is nowhere near enough. www.theguardian.com/media/2026/j...

1st June 1972, The Eagles released their self-titled debut album, Eagles. Recorded in London, it instantly established the West Coast country-rock sound and spawned massive hits like "Take It Easy" and "Witchy Woman". It made No. 22 on the US Billboard chart. #TheEagles

I think British journalism would be a good idea

Happy Pride month, y'all! Here's a new bumper sticker to celebrate! #Pride #lgbtqi #transrights

NEW: A federal judge ruled that a group could not be blocked from protesting on t he National Mall over its decision to fly an "86-47" flag, saying the evidence did not support calling it a coded call to violence against President Trump. w @joshgerstein.bsky.social www.politico.com/news/2026/06...

With majority-Black voting districts being eliminated across the country, now is the time to recognize that none of us can afford to stay politically asleep, Anneshia Hardy writes. “Attacks on Black voting power are often the testing ground for broader attacks on democracy.”

These people are stupid as a hog turd. Just plain stupid! I don't mind seeing them suffer and lose everything. www.nbcnews.com/politics/eco...

But I thought it would have taken 8-10 years to replace Jackson on the $20 with Harriet Tubman. Hmmm, can you say, "Republicans are racists?" I knew that you could. apnews.com/video/treasu...

The cast of "Hee-Haw" have declined to save Trump's sorry ass at the Freedom 250.

The Archies have backed out of the Freedom 250 cluster.

#PostProcess #Abstract Work on an original photo by #photoprocessing #urbex I just tore this thing all up until I saw a sci-fi cityscape. Thanks, @rjrock.bsky.social, for the challenge!

I can hear a train rumbling through the valley on its way to who knows where. On the porch, I roll an American Spirit between my finger and thumb, puffing occasionally. Seven Miller ponies lay beside my cheap lawn chair. What happens next? #mystery #writer #prompt #writingprompt #story

BREAKING: we just won our Kennedy Center case! Both the renaming & the closure of the Kennedy Center are enjoined Kudos to our wonderful client @repbeatty.bsky.social & my colleagues @democracydefendersaction.org & Washington Litigation Group This is a 1-2 punch against Trump's corruption

Jimmy Kimmel infiltrates Trump’s cabinet meeting to help heap praise on him and his work with extraterrestrials, or however that word's pronounced.

Only Republicans protect pedophiles.

Philip Van Cleve is the very def of a gun nut. He wants no restrictions on who can have a gun. Any kind of gun. By anybody. Anywhere. "The law doesn't say 'right to bear arms after you pass a background check,' that's not a part of America's history." cardinalnews.org/2026/05/29/s...

CBS: “Ken Paxton calls you Tala-freako.” 🔥 @jamestalarico.bsky.social : “If Ken Paxton is worried about freaks he should stop giving Epstein-style sweetheart deals to pedophiles. He’s the most corrupt politician in 🇺🇸. The Epstein class has no place in Texas.”

Rest in peace, "60 Minutes." May the ghosts of all the journalism legend veterans of this show haunt Bari Weiss, CBS executives and corporate ownership for the rest of their days. Never tuning in again.

Thanks to Trump, November will be the biggest Republican under-vote in modern history. You can bank on it!

Dear Media, If you're not gonna roast his ass, give your pass to somebody who has the stones to act like a real reporter. Force him to answer questions or make him run away crying. Thanks, Me www.huffpost.com/entry/live-u...

Campos: While I want to thank CBS news for funding this generous gift towards my education, I want to acknowledge how the recent direction of the outlet stains the legacy of Mike Wallace, the namesake of this scholarship.

Israel is a two-state nation. Those states are: Apartheid and Terrorist. Come at me.

We don't have to put up with this. Are there, at long last, no adults in the room?

Jesus wept.

Another Nazi state gets its ass handed to it (and had to hand out a six-figure settlement) for someone calling out the obvious. We are not gonna tolerate suppression attempts by these cockwombles. www.huffpost.com/entry/ap-us-...

I am thrilled for Sen. Mark Warner's endorsement, and I am just as excited to be on the ballot with him this November as we prepare to help ALL working families! I am grateful that he mentioned investment in rural communities, which deserve more attention from Washington.

@bethmacy.bsky.social something to bring up with Benedict, perhaps?

George Floyd’s murder sparked a national reckoning over police violence. But national attention alone has not delivered the systemic reform communities deserve. According to the 2025 Police Violence Report, police killings remain near record highs in the years since he was murdered.
