Why are so many law enforcement officers wearing masks now? Embarassed?

10,000 new clean energy jobs lost since January.

Here's what actual manufacturers are saying about the tariffs in the latest ISM survey: “Most suppliers are passing through tariffs at full value to us.. the supplier considers it a tax, and taxes always get passed through.. Very few are absorbing any portion.” www.ismworld.org/supply-manag...

A group of women in Kenya rebelled against trading sex for a fisherman's catch to sell. They got their own boats, had success — but in past years have faced floods and now fears about HIV medications.

To be clear, we were one almost-there vote away from the court taking up a case seeking a ruling that bans on AR-15s are unconstitutional.

“The operation…demonstrates how success in war is biased toward those who learn and adapt the quickest.” www.nytimes.com/2025/06/02/w...

They planned this for 18 months. The dildo of consequences rarely arrives lubed.

This was a brilliant and daring gambit to make up for the fact that Ukraine is running low on ammo for its Patriot systems. Rather than trying to shoot down missiles in flight, the Ukrainians figured out how to disable the aircraft that launch the missiles while they are on a tarmac. wapo.st/3Zag72z

This won’t be erased. Black history is American history

Wow—this is what community looks like. It’s heartwarming to see locals rally around Buona Forchetta after it was raided by ICE on Friday. In the face of fear and cruelty, San Diegans are showing up with solidarity.

As Ukrainian drones roam the Russian sky, I wish you a good night. See you tomorrow!

Now that Trump has blasted Leonard Leo, don't let the right wing sanitize the Federalist Society. Its members have been supporting voter suppression for years, its judges are among the hardest on voters. What will come from Trump now will be far worse, but do not judge democracy on a curve.

When Washington imposes tariffs on the European Union, that's Washington undermining the competitiveness of *American* companies. Let's unpack why.

Like no evidence it’s true. US has excess single family housing. It’s an allocation issue, not a shortage. Rich with multiple homes, short term rentals- both sit empty.

🇺🇦 “This was truly a unique operation. And now I can say: the ‘office’ for this op inside Russia was located right next to an FSB headquarters. 117 drones were used, striking 34% of Russia’s strategic cruise missile carriers at key airbases. Our teams were safely extracted in advance." — Zelensky

The US is acting just as stupid as did the UK - withdrawal from allies & the world is always a formula for failure.

If only there was some way of knowing what caused all this…

ICYMI — federal agents cuffed an @RepJerryNadler aide inside his congressional office, claiming they were “conducting a security check” The guardrails are off. More: www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

Joni Ernst clarified her statements saying that the Dalmatians were going to die in 12 to 14 years anyway and now she has a fabulous winter coat.

A Texas cop used 83,000+ license plate readers to hunt down a woman… for having an abortion. Legal in many states. Still hunted. This isn’t about safety—it’s about control. Welcome to reproductive surveillance in 2025. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... #BlueSky #MedSky #NewsSky #ObSky #NurseSky

He nailed it!

😂😂😂Yes!

Largely due to Tariffs... The City of Austin is facing a projected budget deficit of $33.4 million for fiscal year 2026, with a potential increase to $79.9 million by 2030. This shortfall is largely attributed to lower-than-expected sales tax revenues & a state-imposed cap on property tax revenue.

"If what you're doing is legitimate and lawful, why do you need to cover your face?”

“We’re not in love with the law” is a pretty good motto for this group

Hard not to notice that ICE isn't breaking up drug rings or gangs (because we would ABSOLUTELY hear about it if they were), but instead are dressing up like bank robbers and doing the laziest shit possible, like hanging out at immigration court or grabbing people for busted taillights. Worthless

Imagine how we would view this if it was happening in another country

Casar: What we discovered last night, which is really breaking news, is that they’re not just robbing Medicaid—it turns out they’re also planning to rob Medicare of nearly half a billion dollars if they pass this bill.

Race animates a lot of ICE/CBP, but I can't stress enough how—as with all law enforcement—a key factor is sheer *laziness*. They're not tracking down drug gangs, they're going for the easiest targets they can find. Official hearings (citizenship, court, etc) are fish in a barrel to run numbers up.

turns out the GOP budget bill adds so much to deficits that it will automatically trigger cuts to Medicare (not just Medicaid). Older voters unlikely to be happy about this when word gets out democrats-budget.house.gov/news/press-r...
