OH NO! Also, nice to see they chose a good quote from me. (Thank you!) "While the Trump Administration is galloping towards fascism and arguing to end birthright citizenship, corporate media remain complicit cowards by focusing on Joe Biden’s age.” www.thewrap.com/as-jake-tapp...

The Trump administration just rescinded federal guidance that had protected patients' right to an emergency abortion throughout the country. This move formally halts EMTALA enforcement against hospitals that refuse to terminate when a patient's health requires it. www.cms.gov/newsroom/pre...

We are so fucked. We are facing full blown authoritarianism and the only possible opposition is sticking their finger in the air to see which way the wind is blowing.

Not only is this Fetterman project morally abhorrent, it’s also political suicide. People who don’t understand what’s right, how to lead, nor how to win.

Trump’s 50% tariffs on foreign steel and aluminum come into effect

MASSACHUSETTS: “He is not a criminal… 18 years old… one of the nicest kids in school… plays drums in church… this is the only home he has ever known…” Lawyers say Marcelo Gomes da Silva is here legally: www.cbsnews.com/boston/news/...

Trump is actively undermining the American way of life by making Americans poorer and sicker.

Watch this montage of clips from Israel's Channel 14, filled with racist and genocidal bile, shocking stuff, ask yourself why you don't see these clips on US or UK mainstream news, and then read Prem's deep dive for Zeteo into Channel 14: zeteo.com/p/inside-the...

So… Abrego Garcia… still down there huh?

Lee Jae-myung, the South Korean politician who climbed the fence of the parliament to get inside and vote against martial law, has been elected president. Pretty cooool

Alex Jones, who spent years ranting about shadowy government mass surveillance technology, is now stanning for Palantir

Repost this...

Another dumb gross irony here is Harvey Milk served in the Navy and Donald Trump's Navy secretary didn't www.military.com/daily-news/2...

It's a cult www.axios.com/2025/06/03/a...

I wrote about how the U.S. turn toward indefinite detention is ricocheting around the world, exacerbating local crises along the way.

This gives me life.

Historian here this is how abolitionists dealt with slave catchers in northern states. #Resist

He resigned because a report *he requested* found extremely credible evidence that he harassed about a dozen women. He stepped down in disgrace because he would have been impeached. He's corrupt and shouldn't be allowed anywhere near City Hall. Don't rank Cuomo.

The fact that Imane Khelif was identified at birth as female, raised female and was physiologically understood to be female right up until someone DNA tested her 2 years ago proves that the entire concept of biological sex is a moving goal post based on what authorities want to change it to.

There are 53 Republicans in the Senate.

is there an allegation against them or is this just collective punishment, as a treat

Let’s talk for a moment about some of the more subtle ways that the press acts as a mouthpiece for law enforcement. Actor Jonathan Joss was shot to death on Sunday. I don’t know what happened; I wasn’t there. But his husband said a homophobic neighbor shot him as part of an explicit hate crime. /1

They're literally doing the meme

Man comes to the US from Lebanon. Starts out delivering pizzas, becomes a Nobel winning neuroscientist. Trump freezes his funding, he gets an email from China offering to move his lab “any city, any university I want" with guaranteed funding for 20 years. What are we doing?

Trump has revoked guidance that directed hospitals to provide emergency abortions to women when necessary to stabilize their medical condition — eg when women are experiencing medical emergencies and need abortion to prevent organ loss or severe hemorrhaging, among other serious complications

HAWLEY: Let's see the Trump chart. You don't think it's a little bit anomalous that Trump has so many more nationwide injunctions against him? KATE SHAW: A very plausible explanation you have to consider is that he's engaged in much more lawless activity than other presidents

Here's the audio from today's Eleventh Circuit argument in our effort to hold Saudi Arabia accountable for its (alleged) role in supporting the perpetrator of the 2019 NAS Pensacola shooting: www.ca11.uscourts.gov/sites/defaul...

I’ve been shown unreleased footage of Sunday’s SBU drone attack. I can confirm at least two A-50 AWACS aircraft were struck by drones; the FPV drones landing directly on the radar domes before detonating. Multiple Tu-22M3s can also be seen struck in the footage.

👇🎯 Also, the reason Leavitt can lie with impunity ever day & face no consequence is bc Sarah Huckabee Sanders & Sean Spicer did this for years & there were no consequences. This is the signal feature of 🇺🇸 politics dating back at least to 1865, & it is why all the bad & illegal things keep happening.

I personally know 5 early career and trainee level academic scientists who have changed jobs/ career paths in the last month. They did not see a sustainable future with ongoing cuts and attacks. The scale of decimation of the pipeline that the scientific workforce in U.S. faces is staggering.

Cuts have consequences, illustrated. As seen on TV 📺

There are a lot of things that are gross in journalism but the abject careerism and moral bankruptcy of the NYT reporters who jumped on the the youth gender medicine “story” is one of the more disgusting things I’ve witnessed

our economy used to be the envy of the world. now our state dept is the envy of north korea.

After a brutal Russian attack, this little boy in Kyiv keeps his spirit up by singing the Ukrainian anthem.

Great piece and highlights what we need to be making clearer.

CNN’s conservative Scott Jennings calls Free Palestine movement ‘domestic terror organization’

The correlation between being insecure and ostentatiously trying to present yourself as tough remains incredibly strong. www.military.com/daily-news/2...

if you are ever expecting an apology in the mail from the people who kept saying “no, it couldn’t possibly be because of the pandemic and its aftershocks, why would a highly traumatic national event spike certain violent crimes like that” don’t expect one

The inside of a Tesla in Chris Cillizza's driveway in deep blue Falls Church might seem like a strange place to meet a Trump supporter. But over the blare of Nickelback at full volume, you can hear whispers that putting a flier on a windshield is worse than sending children to torture prisons.
