Wow. The story about Nancy Mace sitting up all night creating burner accounts and programming bots is ... something else.

Trump just nominated Paul Ingrassia to run the Office of Special Counsel. Ingrassia is a former far-right podcast host and election denier who once shared an article calling for “martial law” to keep Donald Trump in office following his loss in the 2020 election. He's 29.

These men were building us homes. The violence is being committed by ICE — masked men, no ID, no warrants. Don’t believe the rhetoric being pushed by violent criminals about ‘violent criminals’ cause it’s all BS. Call your Reps and demand they hold hearings, sanctioned or not. This needs to stop.

Don’t look away. Our country might’ve been forgiven for letting them in but never for allowing them to stay and torture children.

Blacksky, if you're not tuned into #RolandMartinUnfiltered every evening, you're missing out. RMU and Sirius Urban View have become my main broadcast news sources during Trump 2.0 & since MSNBC ended Joy Reid's show. They're keeping me sane and serene. Love the regular panel guests and co-hosts!

“Office of Repatriation” Quite the reminder that the U.S. government is in the hands of people who are aggressively siding with the German Neo-Nazi party and the European far right more broadly - because they share the same enemy: pluralistic democracy.

Entitlement is such a weird concept to me. I go to the public library and have to keep reminding myself I’m worthy of such goodness.

Jesus worked in Salinas CAs fields for 14 years. He's skillfully removing lettuce plants so the plants do not grow too close together and they grow large. It takes a lot of experience to know which plants to leave. Walking the fields all day long makes him very tired. #WeFeedYou

Not much to weigh, they're doing war crimes, stop fucking around and get it done

Couldn't agree more with this. It's jaw-dropping to see the patty cake people are playing with him after what was a full constitutional assault that, oh by the way, is almost certainly going to lead to tens of thousands of people in the global south dying needlessly.

Three women and two doctors are suing Kansas over a law that nullifies a person’s decisions about end-of-life care if they are pregnant, arguing that it violates the right to personal autonomy and equal protection under the state constitution.

Did someone go rogue at the National Cancer Institute? Today, the post on the left was published on their Instagram page. Yesterday, the post on the right was up. On May 21st, The Regime fired the entire NCI communications staff.

Is Chuck Schumer still alive?

#Vaccines make us superheroes. My covid vaccine might have saved my life but more than that it likely saved many others.

The last day of the RISD Grad show, at the Rhode Island Convention Center, was today. I added something to the RISD Cry map in person, then did it again online.

Orwell complained about this in the 40s: a "permanent and pensioned opposition" will develop an irresponsible and impractical politics and feel morally superior about it

For 40 years, Americans have lived shorter lives than people in other rich countries. For 10 years, that's been rapidly getting worse. New research: in 2022-2023, there were 1.5 million "missing Americans," who died--but wouldn't have, if America didn't have such uniquely high death rates.

Chamomile! 🌱🌼 So ..do I pick it now for tea? ☕️ Is there a ‘best’ flower stage? 🤔 #herbaltea

People need hope, and they need to know that the possibility of something good happening to them exists, and the more we invest in helping that happen, and helping it be an actual reality, the better.
