In small-city election news: We had a nice but ineffectual mayor, so we got ourselves a new one. Yay for St. Paul! www.mprnews.org/story/2025/1...

roses are red big laughs are hearty

This was fun to read!

Anyway, we need some joy, so here's the Egyptian foreign minister being given a Lego Pyramid by the Danish foreign minister.

We all want the exododus, as long as they disperse and don’t form a colony.

WTH???

I swear it's like every day someone in the GOP asks, "what's the one thing we could do today that would most clearly demonstrate to everyone that we don't understand anything and don't care about anyone?" and then they do that.

The average US taxpayer spends $36 a year on SNAP You know what they spend on corporate subsidies? $670 Poor and disabled people who need food are not the problem If you’re angry about “your money” feeding people but not angry it’s giving tax cuts to the wealthy? You’re doing their dirty work.

Beautiful.

Today, I'm thinking of Paul, Sheila, Marcia, Mary, Tom and Will. They were taken from us much too soon. We honor their memories by continuing to organize every day. Paul believed that when we all do better, we all do better. So today, stand up and keep fighting. 💚

Shocked, I tell you! www.nbcnews.com/politics/imm...

Sadly, I’ve failed to imagine how deeply shitty this administration can be. Point taken, though.

The president needs your help! He's collecting diarrhea for his plane. He has a plane that's 99% toilet with other people's diarrhea in it and he wears a little crown when he drives it around. Brave patriots please send your loose stool to your favorite diarrhea president for his diarrhea plane.

Hilarious. Never thought I’d have warm feelings for Curtis Sliwa, even briefly!

I canceled my NYT subs (except for xword) a while back, but hadn’t thought of the weight loss I’d be missing out on.

Love this. Superbly done. Please send this far and wide. @donwinslow.bsky.social

Yep, I haven’t shopped at the TGT that’s walking distance from my house since the boycott started. Cornell was shockingly unaware of his customer base. www.forbes.com/sites/dougme...

A palate cleanser for those who need it: animalcare.lacounty.gov/news/unicorn...?

portland update: this just crossed the street in front of me holding a bright yellow sign that said WELCOME TO HELL

The awesome video team at the New York Times helped me make this video about the shutdown and Obamacare premiums.

7 texts from candidates today although I removed my phone number from ActBlue ages ago. Infuriating. I delete them all as junk. Especially infuriating are the TWO from @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social who finds it appropriate to make nice with Cuomo the corrupt harasser. No chance, dude.

This should be enlarged, printed and hung on the bedrooms of teenagers and college students, I know some adults who need this too. #CriticalThinking

They had kids, too.

This is a Melissa Hortman appreciation account for the next 24 hours.

Just going to leave this from @onthemedia.bsky.social here

I guess this has probably already gone viral somewhere but I am simply dying at this picture of a bear that looks like it hired a photographer to do a glamour shoot

Prosecutor Scott Colum just announced that he’s running for the open Senate seat in MS. Immediately I get a begging text from Carville. Never heard of Colum but he may not know how to hire good people if the first contact is from someone many of us loathe so passionately. 1/2

He’s giving “Fast-Paced Paul” vibes, and I love it.

Hey, US folks: The IRS is looking to privatize free e-filing. So they created a questionnaire they hope will get people to say that they’d rather have private tax prep. Please take a moment to give them some answers they won’t like. irsresearch.gov1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

For all its faults, I love Minnesota! www.mprnews.org/story/2025/0...

I’d be happy to do this but is it believable if it’s on a Prius?

Hello. I review submissions here at the Random House Racist Fiction department and I've been forced to reject your submission. Yes, we are fiction but we do expect a certain level of believability.

Katie Mack is definitely one of the right people!

Whaddya know? We could forget about the list and just use what all these women are saying! www.jezebel.com/since-no-one...

What a horrible week for the US. We’re no longer going to have accurate jobs numbers, the CPB is folding, Yamtits is building a gilded ballroom, ICE is a bunch of untethered sadists… I’d like to go for a walk but the air is melted plastic. (I have a job and my dogs are fine. Yes, that’s lucky.)

uh…hunter biden for president?

This has absolutely been my experience. AI is worse than useless, and I hope no competent people sign up to try to fix it. Let it collapse under its own hype like IOT did a few years ago.

"What's a baby deer called?” “Fawn!" “Sorry - what's a baby deer called, O wise and handsome one?"

sighhh

Unassailable point, Mr. Takei!

Super informative thread!

Oh Nancy girl. You are not very familiar with Gavin Newsom’s game are you? What a burn 🔥 😅😂🤣

We’re calling for a Florida boycott over the inhumane “Alligator Alcatraz” detention site. Cancel your family vacation and choose a different destination this summer.

Beautifully said!

Beautiful and heartbreaking article. minnesotareformer.com/2025/06/26/r...

NYC Comptroller Brad Lander: "I don't think the line for the [Democratic] party right now is between progressives and moderates; I think it's between fighters and folders."

Who is against these policies? Are people so far gone that they prefer their taxes pay for corporate welfare and massive pointless bombs over education and transportation?
