“Look, here's burial sites all over the place. These are all white farmers that are being buried,” Donald Trump said during today’s White House meeting with South Africa’s president. The image he was holding up, however, is of the Democratic Republic of Congo. www.barrons.com/news/trump-d...

BREAKING: Sweeping ProPublica report reveals over a dozen Trump officials conveniently sold off their shares just days before their president crippled the stock market with his sweeping “Liberation Day” tariffs. https://trib.al/kxqc6ZJ

More than 700K Americans died from COVID after he wrote this. We still have not achieved herd immunity.

"I care about social cohesion and social solidarity, which is why I tried to convince white people in Ohio that Haitian immigrants were eating their dogs." Naturally, Douthat does not challenge him at all on these lies.

staging a show-and-tell about a fake genocide during a real genocide to the government that has done the most to seek justice for that real genocide is designed to break our brains. They know what they are doing. www.cnn.com/2025/05/21/w...

"Every child, every baby in Gaza is an enemy. The enemy is not Hamas... We need to conquer Gaza and colonize it and not leave a single Gazan child there. There is no other victory," said Moshe Feiglin, a former member of the Israeli parliament.

BREAKING: The House of Representatives just passed a bill that will cut billions of dollars from Medicaid. Medicaid is a lifeline for millions of people across the country, including more than 15 million people with disabilities. The Senate must reject this dangerous bill.

The GOP budget bill would cut up to $300 billion from SNAP over the next ten years. 42 million Americans get food assistance from SNAP. This bill would make people go hungry.

A story about why Democrats are losers, in four parts.

BREAKING: ICE and private prison contractor GEO Group are refusing to allow Mahmoud Khalil to hold his newborn son for the first time, even after his wife flew them over 1,000 miles to visit. We just asked a federal court to order ICE to grant Mahmoud's request for a contact visit with his family.

Israel allowed just five aid trucks into Gaza on Monday, but none of the aid has reached people in need.

The U.S. housing market has reached its most unaffordable level in history

135 Palestinians killed in Gaza so far today. Massacre after massacre, day after day. The world does nothing.

Majority of working-class families can't afford to live. Its this crisis that is creating massive amounts of wealth not seen since the gilded age. Neither corporate political party has any solution to this. This is what capitalism was designed to do: to immiserate. www.cbsnews.com/news/cost-of...

Of course grifters + bureaucrats want to profit off poor people suffering. In the real world, migrants are forced by US imperialism, climate change, + corporate globalization to leave their homes. We spoke with @norcalresist.bsky.social about these realities. itsgoingdown.org/building-sol...

corporate Democrats are attempting to blame trans Folks for the fact that corporate Democrats lost the election to Trump again and that the population has moved forward to the point where neoliberals are no longer seen as a viable candidates due to their increasingly regressive and anti social views

Trump is taking money from the Middle East and 2016 Trump is PISSED

This is such bullshit. There wasn't a single Dem who made bathrooms and sports significant parts of their campaigns. I'm really getting sick of guys like Cuomo and Rahm Emanuel retconning the 2024 election.

RFK Jr. said multiple times during his house and senate hearings today that no scientists have been fired from federal agencies. Our reporting has shown that hundreds, if not thousands, of scientists have been let go from NIH/CDC/FDA

1. Huge news: A Montana judge has issued the final blow to the state's gender affirming care ban for trans youth as unconstitutional. Because it was a state court, it doesn't even matter what SCOTUS says - it will remain blockd. The latest from S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism.

There is not a single congressional district in the U.S. where more than 15% of voters support cuts to Medicaid.

A few Palestinian YouTube channels have stopped because they were killed. These were kids. They sang songs & loved birds, and showed us the ocean. I'll never forget Medo, a young man growing a garden in the midst of a genocide. Israel killed him; he showed the world that Palestinians are human.

This is insane. Republicans have inserted language into the budget reconciliation bill that would ban states from regulating AI in any capacity for 10 years. from @404media.co www.404media.co/republicans-...

"Israel killed nearly two-thirds of the 124 journalists who died around the world in 2024" - you would imagine this would cause a commotion in the world of news journalism, wouldn't you.

Viktoriia Roshchyna, a 27-year-old Ukrainian investigative journalist, disappeared in the Russia-occupied part of the Zaporizka region of Ukraine in August 2023. A year later, she called her family from Russian custody, telling her parents she loved them. www.hrw.org/news/2025/05...

Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, who has embraced the neo-fascist Great Replacement Theory, has prioritized a bill to reshape Texas' social studies curriculum to include lessons about communist threats. The author of the bill rejected an amendment to include fascism. thebarbedwire.com/2025/05/12/c...

So traumatic brain injury research was feeling left out in the things White House wanted to cut. But fear not White House is on the case. Cancer can’t have all the fun. Name yr tragedy, Trump wants to cancel your hope. www.espn.com/espn/story/_...

Can't be overstated how fucked up it is that Black folk came up with a word to express people being aware of the oppression of other people and it's now targeted by far right governments globally as something evil that must be destroyed

Donald Trump can still become pope if Mike Pence has the courage.

Over 1.1 million people in Gaza face catastrophic hunger. UNICEF says 9,000+ children are already acutely malnourished. Israel has not allowed any aid to enter Gaza since March 2. This is a deliberate, manufactured famine—and the world is letting it happen.

Israel has cut off food, water, and medicine to Gaza for over two months — and the U.S. is helping cover it up.

This is a despicable hit piece that refuses to introspect about the effect of *genocide itself* on Democrats' electoral loss. The Bulwark's founders helped Trump's rise and ensured Trump's return by demanding Democrats become 2003-era Republicans. Fuck everybody who works there.

Ship carrying humanitarian aid and activists to Gaza attacked by drones, NGO says, and at risk of sinking after its generator targeted with 30 human rights activists on board www.irishtimes.com/world/europe...

The United Nations' food stocks for families in Gaza depleted a week ago. Children are being deliberately starved by Israel, and it is all being done openly.

RFK Jr. is ending the federal Narcan distribution program credited with the recent steep decline in overdose deaths. This despite his own past heroin addiction and his own brother dying of a drug overdose in 1984.

Mutual aid groups led the charge on distribution of Narcan, fostering a grassroots response to the overdose crisis. Autonomous networks can continue to work to meet needs of our communities, as the state doubles down on repression and enriching their real constituents: the corporate elite.

don’t give them their freedom, because they’re not going to give you yours

The people of Gainesville deserve better than poverty wages and sky-high rent!

Spitting your gum out in a urinal is absolutely unhinged, why do people do this

A new analysis from Urban Institute researchers shows that a #Medicaid work requirement program implemented in Arkansas in 2018-2019 reduced the number of adults with #health insurance coverage and had no effect on #employment. Learn more in an Urban Wire post.

Children as young as *four* are being put in the position of representing themselves without lawyers/parents present in front of immigration judges in cases that will determine whether they are deported. gothamist.com/news/4-year-...

I find the common talking point that anarchists assume everyone is as nice as them strange. I'm a pessimist who has learned from numerous horrific life experiences that people can treat each other terribly and that's exactly why nobody should be given vast amounts of power over others.

If you're so upset about DEI that you'd be critical of having a black, gay, or trans doctor heading HHS, but you're not concerned that RFK Jr. has ABSOLUTELY ZERO MEDICAL TRAINING, you're not a critical thinker. You're just a bigot hiding behind a lie of meritocracy.
