Another big FU from Harvard… free online courses on the US government, the US constitution, civic engagement, and more. pll.harvard.edu/subject/gove...

Muahahahah. Found this on reddit...

Baby giraffe Zoomies. He’s 6 feet tall.

doom, scrolling.

Today, I added a code example on GitHub that we use in Xanadu. The navTimingAPI appends load time info into the browser JavaScript console. github.com/campsoftware...

Florida police used ICE to arrest nearly 100 sex workers, boasting about the number of immigrants caught. The "human trafficking sting" turned up no actual human trafficking, but in a perverse twist, ICE can now abduct and traffick said "victims" to who knows where, for who knows what.

Jon is right. We are going to need our own Nuremberg trials and De-Trumpification program at the end of this miserable regime. We are going to need everyone to bear witness to the crimes that have been done in our names and with our tax dollars. And you can’t pardon crimes against humanity.

Republicans are celebrating today, because they can now legally shred your medical coverage and your ability to purchase food — among other things. All this in order to give more to the wealthiest people in this country. Like they didn't have enough. People are dying, and more of us will die.

“If I am understanding the numbers correctly, the latest version of their tax scam, the top 0.1 percent stand to gain $255,000 on average in 2027 alone,” McGovern said. “That is $700 a day every day.” https://trib.al/gzYgDSJ

So: 1) Takes food from children 2) Gives the richest man in the world a tax cut 3) Makes the deficit worse

Republicans steering the Titanic towards the iceberg.

there was indeed a real scandal surrounding biden & what his advisors knew. but there’s also a real scandal surrounding trump & his advisors either feeding him false information or taking no steps to correct his thinking. both involve presidential faculties but one is happening right now

The fascist are attempting to control who can get a #Covid shot. Didn’t RFK Jr say “let people make up their own minds about vaccination?”There is still time to contct the FDA about its stupid decision to limit eligibility for #Covid shots www.statnews.com/2025/05/20/f...

We’re all being robbed and murdered by the worst fucking people to ever draw breath.

AOC: When you wake up in the morning, you will realize that you voted to defund planned parenthood and take away health care from 13.7 million Americans and when this country wakes up there will be consequences to pay for this

I made this video 2 years ago. I had a lot of people tell me I was being dramatic. Now we know UNH are pushing nursing home to get residents to sign DNRs. I’m so glad people are waking up. youtube.com/shorts/ZZtHN...

And, yet, somehow, they are the party of “fiscal responsibility,” “conservative principles,” yada yada, acc to the American political media. It’s the exact opposite. The world would be a different place if the press generally reported what was actually happening.

Elon's lying. This is still Musk's presidency. He isn't stepping back. He's loading up. And #TeslaTakedown matters more than ever.

The Midterm attack ads write themselves.

A reminder that as Trump advances a bill to give himself a huge tax cut and f--k over working people, he's probably pocketed a billion dollars this week from illegally exploiting the Presidency. Pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath, slot - Trump is a walking embodiment of the 7 deadly sins.

besides billionaires, the gun industry is a top GOP constituency not, you know, their actual constituents who they don't give a fuck about

Bringing this to Bsky bc @steverattner.bsky.social hasn't posted it yet and it's so critical. The entirety of the cuts to Medicaid and food benefits are to pay for tax cuts for people earning more than half a million a year. Call Congress: 202-224-3121

“If I am understanding the numbers correctly, the latest version of their tax scam, the top 0.1 percent stand to gain $255,000 on average in 2027 alone,” McGovern said. “That is $700 a day every day.” https://trib.al/AOj6BKO

Here’s an idea: Stop acting like the Gestapo.

They want you to think they’re inevitable. They are not. Every one of these traitors will be held accountable.

Alex Lawson to Rep. Miller-Meeks: Last time you spoke with us you lied to our face and said you wouldn’t vote for Medicaid cuts, but you’ve voted for the largest cuts in the history of the country. Do you have any comment on the health care that 67,000 people in your district are going to lose?

Musk lashes out at an interviewer for pressing him on DOGE, then attacks Bill Gates. He’s definitely losing it. He also claims Tesla sales are “rebounding,” but the numbers say otherwise. The boycott of Tesla is working.

Trump seals off all medical records on his ear, and it’s miraculous regrowth after the “assassination attempt,” and the press doesn’t give a shit.

Eddie Vedder takes up where Bruce left off. "I'm saying just to be sure that this freedom to speak will still exist in another year or two from now when we come back to this microphone."

Marco Rubio and the other conspirators should become familiar with the Nuremburg trials. They are more than complicit and will be held accountable in the Mar a Largo trials. I believe real Americans will demand it.

Gonna be tough to get a jury to convict Luigi I think

McGovern: "You are literally taking food off kids' plates to buy Elon Musk another yacht. I guess he's getting a good return on his campaign donations ... this is not policy. This is theft."

Yeah, private health insurers are evil and shouldn't exist and all, but man does United seem *particularly* evil even in an industry awash in rank greed and villiany

Reverse Robin Hood bill should be it's new name. It's big but not beautiful. Let's all call it the Reverse Robin Hood bill.

“The press doesn't give a shit.”

What does that even mean. It's not just a lie. It's a stupid lie.

Sen. Rosen to Rubio: "I'm not even mad anymore about your complicity in this administration's destruction of U.S. global leadership. I'm simply disappointed. I wonder if you're proud of yourself in this moment when you go home to your family?"

VAN HOLLEN: Like the McCarthy era witchhunts of the 1950s, your campaign of fear & repression is eating away at foundational values of our democracy. I have to say directly & personally that I regret voting for you for sec for state RUBIO: Your regret for voting for me confirms I'm doing a good job

WARREN: Can POTUS legally tell the IRS to change someone's nonprofit status? BILLY LONG: I'm not able to answer WARREN: You can't read these words and tell me what those words say?! LONG: I can read the statute and I did WARREN: Then tell me what they mean!

utterly enraging

More gas-price fairy dust. 🧚 @nbcnews.com
