The man was supposed to go to Vietnam 🇻🇳, and instead he was sent to Sudan 🇸🇩 and hasn’t been heard of since. Reason? To rid America of criminals. Guys, he was already leaving the country.

Dear reporters: There’s nothing to stop you from asking the same question she asked about TACO. He never actually answered it.

Don’t cry now, this is EXACTLY what you MAGA dumbasses voted for. Welcome to the finding out stage.

Germany has announced plans to develop the ‘strongest’ conventional army in Europe.

A federal judge on Thursday sentenced a Colorado man who threatened to kill Democratic election officials in Colorado and Arizona and blamed his actions on exposure to far-right political rhetoric to more than three years in prison, officials said.

Rural Ohio school districts say proposed state budget will hurt them “It’s just very sad. And I can’t believe that big city politicians would be having a budget that would do this kind of damage to small, rural communities” by Jo Ingles www.ideastream.org/2025-05-28/r...

This is 🏆 “The problem with speaking up for each other is that everyone is left without a voice.” What I heard here: the struggles of the oppressed are only taken seriously or heard through the voices of their oppressors.

The English language has a new best-speller: Faizan Zaki. A year after finishing runner-up, the 13-year-old from Allen, Texas, won the Scripps National Spelling Bee on Thursday night with the word “eclaircissement."

Ursula von der Leyen, "The diary of Anne Frank." "A painful reminder to Europe to be vigilant and unyielding towards all those who see hatred and want to divide our society" "Europe knows this path all too well. And never, never again must we embark on this path"

While Stephen Miller publishes the faces of the judges that struck down Trump’s unlawful tariffs, his own goons in ICE refuse to show theirs out of fear of being publicly identified. If our judges are brave enough to face MAGA threats with their faces showing, ICE should not hide behind masks.

Too bad, how sad. Don’t let the door hit your ass on the way out

I just read the tariff decision. The tariffs are gone. The long-term economic damage and the global adjustment in trade will last for years. Expect a bump. Then a drag.

A glacier partially collapsed in Switzerland, burying the village of Blatten in a huge landslide of ice, rock, and mud after residents had been evacuated. Scientists called the collapse of the glacier “unprecedented” in the Swiss Alps.

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.

Phang: If you see claims that those convictions have been overturned on appeal — it’s bullshit. They have not been overturned on appeal. I have no idea—strike that—I have every idea where that comes from. It comes from stupid, far-right people who don’t know how to read and don’t know the law.

A teenager who saved people during shelling in Sumy won silver at the European Beach Wrestling Championships Kyrylo Illiashenko,who rescued passengers from the burning bus during a missile attack on Sumy on April 13,won a silver medal at the U15,U17&U20 European Beach Wrestling Championships

The boreal forests of northern Minnesota are adapted to burn, but hotter and drier conditions are making wildfires larger and more frequent. Sure, Minnesota is more resilient to climate change than many other places, but literally nowhere on earth is 100% safe. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/17/u...

Look at this chyron. 🐔 🌮

WATCH: @repmoskowitz.bsky.social calls out the astounding nearly $1 BILLION (!!) for ICE employees in bonuses alone in the Republican budget. Masked anti-constitutional vigilantism pays well these days. 🇺🇸

This is a very big deal.👇 www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Suicide prevention needs more attention. Scientists around the world are working to better understand suicidal thoughts and behaviors—so we can offer the right help at the right time. @runnerteal.bsky.social #MentalHealth #SuicidePrevention

What does it tell you when Federal Courts have to BLOCK TACO in order to keep us from going into a recession? Let's not let Trump BANKRUPT our country like every business he ever touched. WE ARE NOT A BUSINESS!!!!

Why isn’t energy made of atom? It doesn’t matter ..

Final stretch of research for this book. First stop: the main Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh, which is just about as pleasant as any archive reading room.

Two-Weeks TACO has a terrific ring:

I love this disrespect.

Oh there goes his ratings

Sara Haines: “For a nickname to come back at him and see how that feels…” Whoopi: “T — A — C — O” #TACO #TrumpAlwaysChickensOut

this is why you don't get into "sensitive diplomatic or trade negotiations" with fake authorities.

“stop making everything political” is one of those indications of a really dumb guy. how is supporting the guy who is a nazi, was in the trump admin, and suppressing left wing voices NOT political? dumb guy tier thought process on display here

not to put too fine a point on it. but for all the jokes and giggles the guy's affect here has the look of something about to go postal. 2 months in.

The reality that masked men without proper identification are confronting and arresting and taking away people should be intolerable to anyone who calls themselves American.

QAnon Shaman wants me to stop trolling him 🤣💀🦬🇺🇸

Always backs down when the pressures thickened. Nothing but a fraud. As Stormy said, always trying to make up for his shortcomings.

Conley: The stakes are too high—failure is not an option. And yet, we don’t have serious people taking this stuff on. This is the moment where we should be showing the world that America is a superpower. Instead, we’re showing them it’s amateur hour. And the American people deserve better.

A state survey says problems with Wyandotte's drinking water system pose an "immediate health risk." Regulators flagged a years-long failure to treat the water with fluoride, saying residents need to be notified so they can make informed health decisions. @planetdetroit.org

Liberation day is actually when the stock market hits new all time highs again

NO KINGS

Here’s the thing, if they are picking up folks working in the country illegally, I’m going to need to see some white guys also being arrested for employing people working illegally in the country. Otherwise, it’s just racism.
