"At press time, Secretary Hegseth had flipped his desk over after realizing that the overweight astronaut could also be a woman." 😂

"We have seen this playbook before — in Iraq, in Libya, in Venezuela, and in other sites of manufactured consent for illegal war across the world. The Progressive International will not stand silent as it is deployed against Cuba."

Read this thread.

"Ben-Gvir is an open admirer of Baruch Goldstein, an Israeli who killed 29 Palestinians as they prayed in Hebron in 1994. He has been convicted multiple times by Israeli courts for “incitement to racism”." www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/5/...

I’m stealing this line for everything. Dear students: “AI is like a lamp post to a drunk person. You can lean on them, but it won’t get you home.”

The smallest, most soulless creature to ever be over-stuffed into a human form has thoughts about quality television. With a world and nation in disarray and requiring remedy, the President of the United States feels the need to opine on this passionately. Our republic is so debased.

Trump's DOJ continues its losing streak in an unprecedented push to obtain sensitive voter roll data from states.

Colston describes what sounds like sadistic glee on the part of the Israeli guards:

Another victory against the Trump administration's attempt to suppress speech it doesn't like. In this case, an important voice in calling out Israeli genocidal actions in #Gaza, Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territories, is free again. aje.news/iw8dix

I guess it's good to know that Republicans think it's okay to indict former presidents at 94.

Exactly right.

Fortunately, there are numbers to multiply by that are bigger than two.

Fuck it. Let's try.

Trump has eviscerated the refugee program and turned it from a program of humanitarianism into instead a piece in an overall white supremacist project. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

A succinct explanation of the impacts of the recent evisceration of the VRA:

“thank you sir may i have another”

really insightful and horrifying stuff from @thefarce.org

read the article making this argument and it just reinforced the 3d printing analogy. the industry hype with AI is 100x larger, but the pattern was a similar "this is going to change humanity" to "this is going to revolutionize specific industries" to "this will be a fun hobby for eccentrics"

more of this i say

Imagine the justifiably more hyperbolic headline if this story were written about atrocities committed by a so-called 'third world' nation? www.nbcnews.com/world/lebano...

"Y'all are in a death spiral. That's why you have to redistrict. That's why you have to cheat." Watch this man.

The U.S. Supreme Court is conducting a coup d'etat. It is at war with the very premise of an electoral democracy. Nothing about that institution or its work is legitimate. Nothing.

where is john roberts to tell us that this is just one of those apolitical, unpopular decisions the court has to make sometimes?

From the guy who told us he'd have ended it on day 1 of his presidency... 🙄

this graduation speech moment is notable, and her amazed shock at having failed to read the room feels instructive. when you're inside the bubble, you think everybody else is. but everybody isn't.

Yep. This is the best way to understand the events of the past couple weeks. They have to dispense with the artifice of principle, because the risks of Dems winning and coming to power bent on accountability are simply too great. www.offmessage.net/p/republican...

The rule appears to be that redistricting is always legal when it benefits Republicans and never legal when it benefits Democrats.

Justice Clarence Thomas is the only Black perpetrator in the Epstein Files because of course he is.

With our team of 60 lawyers, Elias Law Group is currently litigating 85 voting and election cases in 43 states plus DC. Perhaps someone should ask the law firms with thousands of lawyers how many pro-democracy cases they are handling. For most, the answer is zero.

I'm firmly #TeamBulldozeIt but nonetheless this is an interesting 🧵

I don't know if Keir Starmer should step down, but I do know he needs to figure this shit out, make some bold decisions, and do it quickly, and if he can't, it's time to let someone else get behind the wheel. This is embarrassing.

Black people are giving it these Confederates raw and uncut. This is how it’s gonna be now. You wonder what we’re thinking? It’s this. I believe this is activist Gary Chambers again in Louisiana.

i never really bought into the whole 'these fucks are a death cult' narrative but these fucks are a death cult

With Rudy Giuliani on his deathbed, one can’t help but remember his second-most famous bed scene.

neither lance reddick nor chris bauer nor wood harris nor larry gilliard jr. nor andre royo nor any number of other actors on that show are giving one dimensional performances

Keeping this handy to reply to any shitheel who frets about the number of American crazies who take potshots at Trump and suggest it's Democrats who need to tone down the rhetoric. Trump is fascist, racist, misogynistic, corrupt, vulgarian and submoronic. I do hope he dies of a cheeseburger only.

"This decision will bleach the halls of Congress, state legislatures, and local bodies like city councils, by ending the protections of Section 2 of the act, which had provided a pathway to assure that voters of color would have some rudimentary fair representation."

THEN: the people’s house. NOW: casino penthouse.

Saw this and thought of you, @darthbluesky.bsky.social 🥔🥔🥔

Let’s all post it and see if they indict all of us.

Which former/current POTUS was nearly killed by COVID and has long since shown a signs of "cognitive development similar to early neurodegenerative diseases"? 🧐

The sea-shell indictment of James Comey is astonishing in its pathetic absurdity. We are one presidential tantrum away from someone fending off US attorneys for making fun of tiny fingers, adult diapers or a TACO reference. A smaller man than Donald Trump can no longer be conjured.
