Piling on. LOL.

Chicago fighting back against ICE. You love to see it 💪

Leon & Taco eventually turning on each other is the most predictable story arc in political history. If you didn’t see this coming, you shouldn’t be allowed to operate a motor vehicle.

“Trading away the credibility of CBS’s news division to curry favor w/the Trump Administration is an improper and reckless act that will irreparably damage the company..," says Abbe Lowell, who is working w/ @normeisen.bsky.social to help @freedom.press' legal case. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

Today is Naksa Day, a day of commemoration for the hundreds of thousands of Palestinians who were killed and expelled from their homes 58 years ago. Lasting peace means acknowledging atrocities. By carrying our ancestors’ stories and pain, we can strive for a better future for our descendants.

I just retired from IU's School of Medicine. This makes me sick.

Prescription drugs accounted for one-third of the huge drop in the trade deficit in April. substack.com/home/post/p-...

Productivity DECREASED at a 1.5 percent annual rate in the first quarter. The data are highly erratic, but this is the wrong direction.

Awesome

*Hey, check out the European moon rover. Hope it lands on the Moon in one piece (imminently).

a big problem i have is that i can only be positive on america if i dont have to care whether it wins or loses. if i am forced to care about it winning, i can't but want it to lose. not really sure how else to put it. i just want people to get along, and winning comes at the cost of that

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has endorsed fellow Democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani as her first choice for New York City mayor.

Yglesias refuses to update his priors with data. It's lazy When the Garcia news broke, these people said that "raising the salience" of immigration would be bad for Dems. But addressing the issue decreased Trump's approval and support for deportations, in both experiments and observational data.

Yeah, but they never actually cared about that stuff

Only the NYT would find a reporter who has never heard of strategic bombing to talk about war

*Killer-drones were the covert superweapon of the CIA in the War on Terror. They worked technically *But the Terror side won that war, all right? The worst enemies of the New World Order are in power in Washington DC now *Drones are great weapons if you think DJs should blow up nuclear bombers

I really admire the innocence of this state-owned employee who looks at the distributional politics of our world and believes a better one will somehow emerge from technological progress. in the good old days, we'd call this greenwashing, we need a new term and AIwashing sounds terrible.

If there’s a public takeaway from this sad saga, I hope it’s that the grift of moving to the right as a personal advancement strategy is running out of gas, and it’s not worth trying.

The woman who shouted "people will die" at Joni Ernst, India May, is a nurse and a librarian who first got involved in politics by going to a town hall about bills aiming to defund libraries. Now she's running for state house. eu.desmoinesregister.com/story/news/p...

Washington Post: Democracy Dies in AI Slop

"You're Ukraine SBU, you're like: "Let's get the DJ and his wife the witch-novelist to blow up those jets. They'll never leak our operation while they're high" *You gotta give them credit,that was a gutsy tactic

I love this for Alina. meidasnews.com/news/newark-...

How about focusing on achieving real goals in defence, education, health etc rather than trying to spend some arbitrary % of GDP on them? (Remarkable how the same politicians who drone on about "waste" will sign up to arbitrary spending targets that ensure it.)

other98 I don't like how a billionaire was able to buy a social media platform and change the outcome of an American election and go into hiding like a snake.

Exactly

like many metal dickheads I was a giant hater at the time but now I reflect upon the error of my hating ways because this owns

when i get good news i brace myself for calamity

BREAKING: Newark Mayor Ras Baraka has sued Alina Habba for malicious prosecution and false arrest.

There are no good args against more housing near transit, if you're in CA call your reps and tell them as much

“When one ICE official pushed back against Miller’s call to widen the deportation dragnet, citing border czar Tom Homan’s claims that ICE’s deportation efforts would target criminals, the deputy chief of staff seemed confused. ‘What do you mean you’re going after criminals?”

I remember being told that one of the early objections to Cartesian dualism was "well, ok, could be; but how do you know there aren't seventeen types of things?" and that really stuck with me. Maybe stuff just be like that.

starting to think Fredric Jameson didnt watch a lot of Netflix post-apocalyptic shows

Yesterday I said that, based on talking to my children, Gen-Zers are not yet nostalgia-poisoned. I stand corrected, as they're already getting reboots of their childhood shows. variety.com/2025/tv/news...

*Okay, that's a back-patting propaganda statement (in English), but a spy agency using civilian trucks and drones to successfully blow up about a dozen nuclear bombers, that does seem like a historical change of some kind *Whatever next

Adding 2020 election denial to the school curriculum is wild. I'm glad parents are fighting back because that mess is just plain stupid. Pretty sure there's a strong overlap between election deniers and flat earthers.
