America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.

if it takes years, has to be consequences for all these people, and even more for those who gave the orders.

Trump Republicanism targets firefighters, first responders, miners, people who work in manufacturing: "We’re really losing 40 years worth of work. Even if they restart them, we’re going to have lost so many people to follow up...” www.theguardian.com/business/202...

“When citizens must think twice about criticizing or opposing the government because they could credibly face government retribution, they no longer live in a full democracy.”

Trump hands Dept of Interior to Russia-linked oil exec: "... given sweeping powers to overhaul the department that manages public lands "...hasn’t divested his investments or filed an ethics commitment to break ties with companies that pose a conflict of interest" apnews.com/article/hass...

Last year, we became the first state to build and open three veterans homes simultaneously.   I just signed a bill that fully funds the staffing and operations of these homes well into the future. I’m proud of Minnesota’s enduring commitment to better serve those who served us.

Several large protests broke out this week against Trump’s disastrous immigration policy. On Wednesday, there were large demonstrations at courthouses in NYC, San Fran, and Phoenix. And yesterday, hundreds gathered at the Florida Capitol to rally against ICE. More here:

NASA’s iconic Goddard Institute for Space Studies—home to Jim Hansen and hundreds more scientists, creator of the GISS model and keeper of the global temperature record—has been evicted from its longstanding NYC office above the “Seinfeld” restaurant. Why? The government told them to move out.

Trump Republicanism at work in Idaho: "One of Idaho’s most popular national forests plans to close ranger stations before reopening them on a limited schedule during the busy summer season. The cuts come after DOGE slashed jobs at the U.S. Forest Service..." www.eastidahonews.com/2025/05/afte...

Breaking news: Contradicting HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the CDC continues to recommend the coronavirus vaccines for healthy children, according to new documentation posted to the agency's website.

❗️🇺🇦Ukrainian soldiers from the Azov brigade captured another group of 🇷🇺Russian soldiers in the Toretsk direction

A giggle for your Saturday! 🐓🐔

I’ve seen people tripping off acid appearing more sober

Doctors at the CDC say children should receive Covid vaccines. A disgraced ex-environmental lawyer who spent 20 years abusing heroin says they shouldn't. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.

Trump goes to war with Leonard Leo?

❗️🇺🇦Ukrainian peace memorandum handed over to 🇷🇺Russians includes provisions for ceasefire on land, sea, and air, to be monitored by international partners — NYT

❗️The first batch of 🇺🇦Ukrainian-made UAT-TISA armored vehicles has been transferred to the Armed Forces of Ukraine These armored vehicles can be used by the military to perform a wide range of tasks: cargo transportation, mobile groups, reconnaissance missions, etc.

If Barack Obama or Joe Biden had proposed this, the GOP would be in the streets with pitchforks and torches. I guess the new "conservative" position is, "I want the state to know everything about me at all times." www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/t...

❗️🇺🇦Ukrainian servicemen from the 65th Mechanized Brigade launched a series of strikes against 🇷🇺Russian armored vehicles deployed deep behind the Russian military at a distance of over 35 kilometers in the Zaporizhia direction.

❗️During the entire period of the full-scale war with Russia, Russia received €883 billion in revenue from the sale of oil and gas. In particular, €228 billion of the revenue Russia received from countries that imposed sanctions on it — BBC

Iowa constituent: "People will die" because of Republicans' cuts to Medicaid. Joni Ernst: "Well, we all are going to die." Holy shit. This chick needs to be sent back to castrating hogs. Nathan Sage, a Marine mechanic raised in a trailer park, is the candidate to do it. And we can help him!!

@eggerdc.bsky.social on RFK Jr.: "The man now helming our entire public health apparatus is an unreconstructed crank." www.thebulwark.com/p/rfk-jr-mah...

“This is just taking money from households and transferring it to banks and credit card companies, and to water and power utility companies.... It means Americans will pay the costs in higher household bills.” www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/u...

❗️The 🇫🇮Patria plant in 🇱🇻Latvia will assemble ASCOD infantry fighting vehicles (IFVs).

Anonymous has been pummelling Russia for the last decade, in the last week the legion has increased its actions against its cyber infrastructure under #OpRussia. Not reported, Anons are covertly operating across a diverse range of cyber and activist groups to help Ukraine.

Where are all the One World Government prophecy freaks and why aren’t they freaking out about Palantir compiling a master list of our data?

Something spicy & delicious as a taco has gotten under Trumplestiltkin's thin tangerine skin. Seems the master of mean, juvenile nicknames can dish them out but when directed towards him, he can't take it, angrily calling it "nasty."🤣 Good to know. (you know what to do!) 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮

@thekenharbaughshow.bsky.social‬ is in Ukraine for Valor Media and @meidastouch.com‬. On the team's last day in Kyiv, they gave blood at a Ukrainian military hospital. A final act of solidarity on the front lines of democracy 🇺🇦

❗️🇨🇿Czech Foreign Minister on 🇷🇺Russian demands for non-expansion of NATO "NATO expansion meets the security interests of the Russian Federation. Where Russia borders NATO countries, there is no war. In other places, there is." — wrote the Head of the Czech Foreign Ministry Jan Lipavsky

❗️Do you agree with her? “🇷🇺Russia would not have invaded 🇺🇦Ukraine had it been a member of NATO.” - Former 🇫🇮Finnish PM Sanna Marin

Just like ice agents covering their faces!

❗️🇺🇸American senators Lindsey Graham and Richard Blumenthal, authors of the initiative on "hell sanctions" against the Russian Federation, arrived in 🇺🇦Kyiv.

Deep cut.

❗️Ukraine will not lose this war, this is Russian propaganda, — Senator Graham

As much fun as the TACO memes are, don't forget what that stands for: TRUMP ALWAYS CHICKENS OUT. It would be a shame to ignore the chicken memes that are there for the taking. Here's a little Starter Kit you might need. ENJOY!

❗️We must give 🇺🇦Ukraine more radars, Patriots, artillery and planes, not just rhetoric — 🇺🇸Senator Blumenthal According to the Democratic senator, in addition to sanctions, the US should continue military support for Ukraine, not just talk.

For too long, government has worked phenomenally well for the 1% and corporate lobbyists — I happen to think now is the time that government worked for the rest of us.

“Don’t look away. Instead, get ready to draw a line. We must keep the wolves from our throats and those of our neighbors and children.” steveschmidt.substack.com/p/trump-is-a...

❗️The bill on 500% tariffs on Russia's allies and sanctions against it is already supported by 82 US senators, - Zelensky. There is already a majority in the Senate for its adoption. Even if Trump vetoes this bill, the number of votes is enough to overcome it (67 votes are needed).

We need a divine intervention! Failures uncovered as US health secretary RFK Jr. touted ‘gold-standard’ science in health report ordered by Trump team! He cited NON-EXISTENT studies. If you wrote a paper and did that, you would be expelled. #FireRFKJrNow www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
