A New York corrections officer admitted in court that he cleaned up blood from the fatal beating of an inmate in an attempt to conceal evidence.

TRANSLATION: I'm an amoral cretin who admires the way you chopped up that American reporter while he was still alive

So what we’ve learned is that Elon Musk and co. tried to rig the conversation with Grok and fumbled the bag. If he can’t even control his own chatbot, maybe we shouldn’t be letting him control anything else.

Marjorie, I know the truth confuses you and facts ain’t your strong suit—so let me break it down real slow: George Floyd didn’t die from drugs. He died because Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck for 9 minutes. That’s called murder.

Grok, Elon Musk’s AI chatbot, has in recent days begun responding to users with information about violence against white people in South Africa, doing so without any related prompts about that topic.

Democrats just flipped the Omaha mayor's office with ads like this. The right-wing obsession with genitals is starting to backfire.

Duffy: "We're starting to see cracks in the system." Good luck, air travelers!

very clear that official policy of the united states right now is to accept any white person abroad who claims asylum status

Afrikaners, Elon Musk’s people, weren’t bystanders in South Africa’s apartheid system. They built, enforced, and thrived under it. Not just “white-ruled segregation”, it was systematic racial oppression to keep the white minority in power. They aren’t victims and don’t deserve refuge status!

Yay Freedom and stuff! Are we Great Again?

TODAY the NYT publishes an investigation into the Trump memecoin $TRUMP and how it has turned into a extraordinary venue for foreign influence campaigns. What we are seeing is potentially corrupt attempts to change US policy by paying the Trump family money. This is no "Russian Hoax" nyti.ms/4kkv7D7

"There's a reason you separate military and the police. One fights the enemies of the state, the other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people." - Commander William Adama, Battlestar Galactica

It’s especially galling that AG Pam Bondi personally wrote the memo approving the gift of the Qatari airplane. Her last job was as a lobbyist for Qatar! efile.fara.gov/docs/6415-Ex...

“But some worry” is two people in this article.

Termination by strangulation: "[...]although the NIH never formally issued any termination notices, the research has effectively been suspended"

Trump: “Maybe the children will have two dolls instead of 30 dolls…They don’t need 250 pencils, they can have 5.” Also Trump: accepts new Air Force One worth $400M from Qatari royal family.

… Blatant corruption. We are witnessing bribery and corruption.

it’s absolutely intentional. federal employment was one of the largest drivers of the growing black middle class, especially post jim crow

"You get two dolls and some pencils. I get a golden 747 jumbo jet. See? You get more things than I do. When was the last time you said 'Thank you, Mr. President'?"

Up is down

This, and ALSO we need to rigorously distinguish between rendition to a third country and deportation.

So let me get this straight: masks are bad and un-American if worn to fight a pandemic, but good if worn by people claiming to be government agents when they kidnap people off the street

Kash Patel is the living definition of waste, fraud, and abuse—all on the taxpayer’s dime. Flying private to see his girlfriend, skipping critical meetings, and totally unfit for the job he was never qualified for in the first place. But hey… playing FBI Director is rough work.

It’s now more expensive to raise children in Trump’s economy.

Today, the Supreme Court allowed the Trump administration to begin implementing Trump's anti-transgender military ban. Under it, Defense Sec. Pete Hegseth's Pentagon almost certainly will quickly begin kicking trans people out of the military for no reason other than their being transgender.

Linda McMahon wrote Harvard a letter to which they responded by noting areas that are in need of corrections and then posted it on social media. Great job Harvard!👏👏👏

True.

I just want Carney to look at him and ask “how are you so fucking stupid?”

IMPORTANT: No one should try to use this process without first talking with a lawyer. Despite DHS's claims, leaving the country could impose SEVERE consequences for many people here currently without status, with a 10-year bar on reentry being a best-case scenario for most.

Great opinion piece on the recent Trump admin. attacks on medical journals. Of note: Trump-appted US Atty Martin hired Michael Caputo as an advisor at the US Atty’s Office: "...Trump’s disgraced 1st-term COVID spokesman who then infamously accused govt scientists of 'sedition'." Remember him? 🛟 1/

“Well, maybe the children will have 2 dolls instead of 30 dolls.”

Are we taking bets?

Here's what a police detective wrote about this sweatshirt in 2019.

Trump hates Veterans www.nytimes.com/2025/05/04/u...

seems like trump mainly uses “low IQ” to describe black people. of a piece with his birtherism and his insistence that there are specific, low-wage “black jobs” that must be protected from immigrants

The Republicans in Congress could remove Donald Trump any minute they wanted to. Blame them. Tell them to get rid of him. There is no daylight between the Republican Party and Donald Trump.

Focus people. Trump has the levers of power. The only people who can take them away from him are elected Republicans. And we must focus on that. Every single R in the house and Senate should be asked why they are not stopping him. They hold the power to impeach, convict, and remove

It’s a red saber. That’s it. Enough said.

I am constantly amazed by how stupid republicans think their voters are
