None of this needs to happen, they’re just doing it to pay for tax cuts for very wealthy people

WATCH THIS. He gets it right Nottoway Plantation: the so-called “White Castle”, burned down. With it, a monument to whitewashed brutality. We don’t need romanticized nostalgia for slavery. We need truth. Let this be the end of pretending these places were anything but what they were: crime scenes.

Some days I'm the dog, some days I'm the little boy

On a remote Australian island, seabirds are so packed with plastic they make a “gut-wrenching, crunching sound”. One dead chick was found with 778 pieces in its stomach. These aren't microplastics—items include plastic forks, bottle caps, clothes pegs… And #BlueSky #MedSky #SciSky #NurseSky

As former President Donald Trump heralds the beginning of what he calls a “Golden Era” for American industry, U.S. consumers are bracing for a very different kind of reality: rising prices on everyday goods.

Trump is trying to bully Walmart into not raising prices due to his tariffs. This is like trying to bully gravity

If I were the owner of the @washingtonpost.com, I would not do a deal with the people who dismembered my columnist. Seems like a low bar, but Bezos managed to not clear yet another one. The world is awash in capital and that this is the choice should tell you all. He’s so poor, all he has is money.

Librarians are among the last bastions of true sanity in the democratic society of the United States of America. 📚 #Writingcommunity #Kidlit #Libraries #Booksky #Librarians

#BookSky What banned book have you read lately?

Authors, it has neger been more important to make “AI cannot be used at any point of the process of bringing my book to market” a part of your contracts. It’s not enough to tell them you don’t want it. You have to make it **a breach of contract** for them to do it. #booksky

Palestinians are being massacred in Gaza day after day after day and yet I still here some people telling me how happy they are that Trump has had a falling out with Netanyahu. Who cares?! Netanyahu is still killing kids with Trump’s blessing. That’s all that matters.

Republicans wanted to use a bureaucratic trick to tell you their budget bill doesn’t cost anything or add to the deficit. But in reality, their tax cut for billionaires would cost $5.5 TRILLION. So I called them out.

Convicted felon is pissed others get due process too.

Pres, Gagliardi, of the 🇺🇸 Federation of Musicians: “We will not remain silent as 2 of our members Bruce Springsteen & Taylor Swift r singled out & personally attacked by the POTUS. S&S r not just brilliant musicians, they r role models & inspirations 2 millions of ppl in the US & across the🌍” 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Very cool. #australianmade

The birthright citizenship case is a Trojan Horse www.nytimes.com/2025/05/16/o...

BREAKING: The Supreme Court rules 7-2 that Trump violated the due process rights of Venezuelan migrants in its expedited removal efforts under the Alien Enemies Act. More to come. From: @jaknutson.bsky.social

Boom goes the Supes

The Supreme Court really beat the shit out of the Government here. Wow. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

"While the law makes exceptions when the pregnant person’s life is in danger, Smith’s case falls in a legal gray area: She is brain-dead, which means her life is no longer considered at risk, and her doctors claim they are legally required to keep her body on life support."

This is absolute horror.

And there it is. Republicans are now trying to criminalize all pornography. I discuss with Tommy Vietor. youtu.be/ORloZoTEXQg

He is so grossly unqualified for this critically important job and should resign ASAP

He’s so vain. He probably thinks this 400 million dollar jet is about him.

I’m proud to announce that Leaders We Deserve is endorsing Robert Peters for Congress in IL-02. He has passed over 120 pieces of legislation since joining the Illinois Senate in 2019. He knows how to get big things done, without sacrificing his values. Exactly what we need more of in Congress.

So let me get this straight: Donald Trump gets to fly around in a $400 million luxury jet while the rest of us have to worry about whether our plane will make it off the ground?

The only people who don’t want good weather info out there are the polluters screwing up the weather who prefer we don’t know.

Don’t forget, Chauvin’s state crimes can’t be pardoned - and that’s the longer of the two sentences. Also don’t forget the people who support that murderer.

Here they go.

Going live with @preetbharara.bsky.social later today over on Substack. Join us at 2pm ET.

I wouldn't be out there if I didn't believe that America can come through this moment, if each of us is prepared to play our role in demanding and delivering a better future.

I no longer recognize America.
