Calling the right "weird" wasn't axed by the party because it was "too mean" or it didn't work. It was axed because nobody was getting paid for coming up with it.

On May 2, 🇺🇦 GUR’s Group 13 made history — for the first time ever, a fighter jet was destroyed by a naval drone. A Russian Su-30 hit by a Magura V5 exploded mid-air near Novorossiysk and sank to the depths. $50M down to Neptune.

This tariff fiasco is crazy on so many levels. So @hankgreen.bsky.social decided to rank them. As much as there is to laugh at, stay till the end, because he does a good job breaking down why this is so serious. youtu.be/8JuuGjRhSYE?...

New in PN: How to steal a state supreme court seat with one weird trick "Republicans succeeded in changing the rules not midgame but literally after they lost. Nothing will stop them from doing this again and again, making a mockery of elections and injecting confusion into results."

This sucks, but also means if you want coverage, contact your paper in advance of an action. Give them quotes. Send them to folks to interview. We did this for the NOAA protests and got wall to wall coverage for a week, with frontpages, opeds, and followups.

The fundamental epistemology of the far-right is "I'm ignorant of this basic fact that is widely known, assume my ignorance means they're trying to hide something from me, and that they're trying to hide this from me means it's all a conspiracy."

Against my own better instincts, I turned on Trump's "Liberation Day" tariffs announcement, and having avoided listening to any of his speeches for so long it is truly astounding how fucking crazy he sounds. Rambling. Nonsensical. Obviously bored.

Every so often, it just comes back to me in full force. The political and economic order that allowed this man to come to power is obviously no longer tenable. The leaders who let it happen obviously have to be replaced. This is an epoch defining failure and we have to turn the page completely.

Disruption is all they seem to understand—so that’s exactly what they’re getting. For 14 hours, @booker.senate.gov has been on the Senate floor, speaking truth within the rules. This cannot be business as usual when our democracy’s on the line. Thank you, senator.

The administration is trying to destroy free speech and freedom of the press. The White House Correspondents Association does not want to offend them while they're doing it. Sad days when journalists are the ones greasing the slippery slope to fascism.
