I spent more time on this piece than almost anything else I've written in the last year. Building a better, more decentralized internet is an inherent necessity if you want a functioning democracy. I hope people find it a useful encapsulation of where we're at. www.liberalism.org/p/enshittifi...

It is 2026, please stop reacting to “LGB without the T” gays. They will do this every year because they are nothing without reactions. Just call them gross losers and move on with your day.

My god, Octavia Butler, just miss ONCE

What should you do if you witness voter intimidation, fraud or other problems at your polling place in the 2026 California primary election?

PSA: Bluesky's new auto-tagging moderation stuff is a disaster. Disable it. Go into Settings on the Bluesky site and enable adult content and set everything to Warn at most, which makes posts opt-in. Hide just vanishes posts. Then go into Advanced/Bluesky Mod Service and do the same on everything.

When Stephen miller dies, a bunch of bugs are going to crawl out of his corpse like Oogie Boogie from A Nightmare Before Christmas.

They tore down the radical hospitality tent! The tent was a safe haven for families & for those who were released! We served warm food & drinks t& offered warm hugs & kindness. Cannot express how sad this is! 😢 Sherrill is a traitor to her constituents & to the beloved diverse communities in NJ!

What the hell. Democratic governors like Mikie Sherrill should not be enabling Trump like this.

Most Epic Move-Out EVAR

Mark Duplass has taken to Instagram to shoot down the engagement bait rumors that Kane Parsons didn't actually direct the BACKROOMS movie. "When I was there, Kane was 100% in control. More so than many directors 3x his age."

Ok this is a truly great tweet

Trump hates the White House. He hates that it symbolizes something bigger than himself. He's a narcissist so he's going to reduce the White House to something smaller than himself. He hasn't a clue how any of it works for people unlike himself, but then again nor does he care.

Last year, miHoYo copied my puzzle game Ouros in Zenless Zone Zero. Because they are a recognized, billion-dollar studio and my game isn't well known, some people are now assuming that their version is the original, and mine is the clone. I hope this video clears that up.

I'm watching and listening to Laurie Anderson's Tiny Desk concert, which was posted today by NPR. I've been a fan of hers since my days in college. So creative, so thoughtful, so inspiring. Give it a listen. www.npr.org/2026/05/22/g...

Bring Paper Trail with you on the long weekend — our 1st episode is about what the FDA won't tell you about your medications, the 2nd about a towing industry scandal. We're back next week to tell you about one of the health insurance industry's best-kept secrets: www.propublica.org/series/paper...

Do people who get their opinions about Democrats from Fox News ever actually listen to one? New episode of The Professional Left — "An Epidemic of Recycled Lies" — asks why millions of Americans keep believing things that just ain't so. www.buzzsprout.com/229/episodes...

Worth noting that this is actually a meta-question-- it's not "what policy do you think is good?" It's "what policy do you think other, imaginary people would think is good?" This encourages the "Everyone Think Like a Pundit Rather Than as a Citizen" disease that plagues political commentary.

Whatever your thoughts about The Boys' finale, it made Elon Musk mad, which the show's creator and cast think is hilarious.

google has been trash for years now

Hey guess what, it's a corruption scandal. No, another one. No, I mean one besides those. No, I mean the one where—

People really need to learn the only sensible response to the Trump Court is "Fuck you, come and make me"

my personal take on this as someone who spent much of last year organizing cross-ideological popular front mobilizations against authoritarianism is that DSA turned out big while Third Way's major contribution was giving concern troll quotes to journalists worrying about the optics

I feel I should alert Bluesky to the baby foxes in our yard

If you're looking for ways to support creatives, writing positive reviews of their work is 1. Free 2. Full of compliments that encourages them 3. Marketing they can reshare to promote their work 4. Just a decent thing to do, thank you!

"Do you WANT guillotines? Because that's how you get guillotines."

It is wrong and criminal for government agents to kidnap someone, send them to die in a concentration camp, and disappear them, regardless of immigration status. But it's still worth noting she has a green card. The government doesn't even pretend this is about deporting undocumented people.

Never met Tony Peters, don’t know who he is, but a million years ago on Facebook he posted this and I don’t think anyone’s ever put it better.

Happy Mother's Day to everyone with mothers like ours.

As primary season continues, some Democrats claim the party needs to "move to the center" to win in November. Hogwash. Democrats can't repeat the same failed playbook of the last 50 years. It's time for them to grow a spine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQzG_TrhyrY

For once...could the soft left learn the correct lessons from their repeated failures?! Be. Left. Wing. -Like actually represent working class and humanist values. -Stop pandering to the right. They will not vote for you. -It's not 'mad' or 'radical' to speak out against genocide. I'm so tired!

The Sargent at Arms blocks Representative Justin Pearson from Memphis from entering a committee meeting about redrawing the map specifically for the district he represents.

A little timeline cleanser.

Surprise officials have stayed silent on the ICE detention facility at 13290 W. Sweetwater. Find out if they signed an NDA with GardaWorld ... your public records request could answer that! buff.ly/2HMzckR #SurpriseAZ #ICE Please share.

Love Cybertrucks. A real evolution in our collective ability to spot a dumb asshole from a mile away. Huge improvement on those little 'don't tread on' me bumperstickers we used to rely on.

While the world’s eyes are on fashion’s biggest night, we’re turning ours to the garment, retail, and warehouse workers who keep the industry running. From true love found on the picket line to a free tailoring school out of a Brooklyn basement — meet the New Yorkers who make it all possible.

The 4th will be with you. Always.

Honestly they’re too stupid to understand what they’ve done and how it ruined even the things they were supposedly worried about

It's interesting to me how even the "language of dissent" is manipulated. Companies deflect responsibility for their actions with a turn of phrase: AI took your job. A robot replaced you. The market turned. Never "Rich people simply decided bigger profit margins were more important than people."

the 2024 election was probably the easiest combined morality/IQ test ever created and yet so many Americans not only failed it, but are now acting like they’re the victims after doing so

To be clear about what just happened: The Trump administration sent armed FBI agents to abduct a 78-year-old doctor and former federal public health worker from his home and stripped him because the brainwashed right-wing base, hopped up on a literal conspiracy theory, wants scalps.

A genuinely astounding display of bad faith and duplicity. Honestly this is the kind of little nugget that if we had in a script *in our daily cable news and opinion show*, we would cut because it’s just too misleading to use in good faith without abusing the audience.

In 1998, a court decided that a woman's denim jeans meant she must have consented to being raped. This horrifying ruling inspired Denim Day, a day for sexual violence awareness and solidarity with survivors.
