OH MY FUCKING GOOOODDDDDDDDD MATSUNO YOU ARE THE ETERNAL GOAT

"Brooke Nichols, an associate professor of global health at Boston University, has estimated that these cuts have already resulted in about 300,000 deaths, most of them of children, and will most likely lead to significantly more by the end of the year."

NEW: We obtained DHS data that shows the US knew only 32 of the 238 Venezuelans deported to a prison in El Salvador in March were convicted of US crimes, only 6 of those violent. Trump called them “savages,” “monsters” and "the worst of the worst.” www.propublica.org/article/trum...

Bob Kuttner reported on Trump's approved deal between US Steel & Nippon: -none of it is in writing -no trade officials or cabinet members were involved in negotiations -Steelworkers weren't consulted -Trump calls it a partnership but US Steel's website says it's a merger prospect.org/blogs-and-ne...

Seems like a selection effect would be at least part of this.

It's funny how the Empire of Star Wars dissolved the Senate fairly quickly after taking power. Meanwhile, the Roman Senate survived the Western Empire. Constantine and his successors actually went out of their way to make sure that Constantinople also had a legitimate Senate, filled with elites.

"Days after U.S. President Donald Trump announced a 'partnership' between Nippon Steel and United States Steel, the Japanese steelmaker remains unsure about what that really means." www.japantimes.co.jp/business/202...

The reason I simply don’t care about “Rogan of the Left” discourse is we basically already did this in 2017 with Chapo and the like and it amounted to nothing other than turning a whole swathe of high-engaged/low-info young people on the left into nihilists

It is totally ok to say that Trump is the worst president in American history, he is causing the single worst government crisis we've had since the civil war, and the only sensible thing to do is to remove him from office. Why lie to everyone? Tell them the truth.

Mormons are obviously Americans, but they are American in the way Apocalypse in the X-Men comics is a mutant. They are as far beyond Americans in American-nes as Apocalypse is beyond the mutants evolutionarily.

say what you will about JD Vance

Three democratic members of congress who were sworn in this January have died in the first four-plus months of the session.

this is wild

lol, transnational far right-ism sure is wacky

The solution? 100% tax on crypto assets and a ban on crypto transactions. Crypto is bad. The only solution is to kill it.

*sidling up to a lady at the bar* hello would you like to join my polycule? we sleep in a Fisher-Price xylophone.

Pretty incredible that Jeff Bezos' Amazon announced a "$5 billion-plus" partnership w/ a Saudi AI co launched by Mohammed Bin Salman and sent CEO Andy Jassy to meet with him less than 7 years after MBS murdered Jamal Khashoggi, a columnist for Bezos' Washington Post. techcrunch.com/2025/05/13/a...

WOW. The Trump admin said they will review social media and deny immigration benefits to people saying antisemitic claims. They're even trying to deport people with green cards on alleged claims of antisemitism. Anyway, here's a tweet from an Afrikaner they flew here on Monday.

if anyone is wondering how this country went so stupid so quickly, it's because people like this are our "very serious journalists"

it's a bad idea to print lies in the newspaper if you are a journalist. they print lies in their newspaper because they like helping trump more than they like their newspaper.

me just before watching Wolf Hall: The Mirror and the Light

Learned last night that we’re getting a Netflix miniseries on the Garfield assassination with Michael Shannon as Garfield and Nick Offerman as Chester A. Arthur, and how are we not all talking about this? www.netflix.com/tudum/articl...

my official response: I'm a forty year old man

Conservative prosecutors under Biden said that his testimony was confused and can't be relied on, and it was a multi-week, breaking-news-push-notifcation news story. Conservative lawyers WORKING FOR TRUMP said that his remarks are confused and can't be relied on and it won't make page A18 tomorrow

I have 100 bucks riding on "New Pope exhumes a predecessor and puts them on trial"

You forgot to mention she resigned in protest in January after you killed her cartoon about your plutocrat owner.

I think the whole "how will History judge?!!" angle is much weaker than people think I mean, 160 years after the Civil War ended, many Americans are still raised to believe that the Confederacy had nothing to do with Slavery If History can't sort that shit out, 🤷🤷

Hey. You gotta give him one thing. Trump promised a red wave, and he’s delivering. Just look at Canada and Australia.

the wild thing is that the vote count between the liberals (43.7%) and tories (41.3%) was still close! one one hand, the remainder went to forces that are closer to the liberals than to the conservatives on the other, 41.3% of the vote went arguably pro-Trump when Trump is trying to annex Canada

*protestors chanting* "What do we want to acknowledge?!" "THAT MANY OF TRUMP'S ACTIONS ARE LEGAL!" "When do we want to acknowledge it?!" "NOW!"

No, writes @ddale8.bsky.social, Trump did not warn voters during the campaign that his tariffs would require a “transition period.” He said they would make voters “so rich” and are “not going to be a cost to you,” with none of his current rhetoric about temporary issues. www.cnn.com/2025/05/01/p...

My family found a home here after fleeing the pogroms in Ukraine. This country accepted us as refugees when we had nothing except the shirts on our backs. We've seen what can happen when we don't speak up about the dangers — it's time to raise the alarm now.
