To Fight Anti-semitism at Harvard, Trump Bans Israeli Students www.nytimes.com/2025/05/22/u...

Oh great. I need the plane this summer

And as soon as Democrats stopped flying to the gulag and everyone stopped talking about it, Trump’s immigration numbers started climbing back up

Dr. Zoidberg?!

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.

Medicaid makes it possible for so many Americans to live lives of meaning with dignity. It matters. - @repfletcher.bsky.social

Disabled people are disrupting the hearings

As someone who loves this park and has walked it many times, this is completely gross and insane. The water here has been closed to swimmers for decades due to extreme bacteria counts and runoff from urban pollution, fertilizers, pet waste

Trump: “Maybe the children will have two dolls instead of 30 dolls…They don’t need 250 pencils, they can have 5.” Also Trump: accepts new Air Force One worth $400M from Qatari royal family.

Do we know for an absolute fact that he’s not a ventriloquist’s dummy

This is how we bring new life to monster truck rallies

🚨 SCOOP: DOGE just cut millions in Labor Department grants to support getting women into manufacturing & construction jobs & tackling gender-based violence & harassment at work. It may be illegal since some grants were mandated by law. New @motherjones.com: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

we're all going to fucking die

“oh, the pulitzers were announced yesterday?” an all timer 😹

also you all need to see this, because this is something I don't think *anybody* could predict for where this ad goes

there is a shocking conspiracy at the center of the david wells' perfect game en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_W...

If you are a visual artist whose NEA grant was terminated today, I want to talk to you for ARTnews. You can contact me on Signal at karenkho.45. I can grant anonymity if necessary.

love to make america great again by essentially expelling the people that enrich our children’s lives

Andy didn’t need all those toys in Toy Story. He could have had exactly two dolls, Buzz and Woody, and played with them in an empty room that was just a barren concrete cube

Congrats everyone — we are at the point where The Onion and real life are indistinguishable from one another. 😳🇺🇸 theonion.com/ice-agents-w...

“Trumps says” is a cottage industry of reporting. It’s not very informative. How about “Despite lacking unilateral legal power to do so, Trump says Harvard….”

Today's May Day protests are global. A friend sent me this scene today from Paris. www.allrisenews.com/p/rising-thi...

Really worth reading the interview to observe how much more hope this young man has in the promises of American freedom and its people than those who jailed him. It would be understandable if he had none.

Give this a listen. Trump and Rubio are locking up people for engaging in speech, without any tangible evidence of wrongdoing or even hateful speech. So it's good to hear from the people they are demonizing.

Two disability-focused state organizations, Disability Rights New Jersey and Disability Rights Arkansas, have paused services due to not receiving federal funds. New from me at @motherjones.com. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

6 weeks ago today, planes flew a few hundred people to El Salvador, where they’re being held at CECOT — a place from which Salvadoran officials brag no one is ever released — at US expense. Their continued detention there is our continued shame.

I refuse to look up any additional context because it’s much more fun to imagine the possibilities

Ed Martin's latest target: Wikipedia. The interim U.S. attorney and pro-Trump bulldog has sent a letter seeming to threaten the Wikimedia Foundation's tax-exempt status over allegations that it is "spreading propaganda." Our story: www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

12 to 15 hours?!?!?

This is in Mississippi—the state with the largest Black population by percent. Nearly 4-in-10 Mississippians are Black. Yet we have "Confederate Heritage Month" and "Confederate Memorial Day." Oh, and our 8 statewide elected state officials look like this.

Van Hollen: "I'm very glad that the killed of Rachel Morin has been convicted in a court of law. That is how we hold guilty people accountable ... I'm not sure why Abrego Garcia's rights should be denied based on an awful murder he had absolutely nothing to do with."

Mark Paoletta is the guy at the center of the Harlan Crow painting with Clarence Thomas, sitting on the pedestal of the weird Native American statue.

“the company I used to submit expenses at my last job is helping overthrow the government” is another new sentence I never imagined

“My recent performance review was rife with DEI language.” 🤔

It would take some time for this funding to really start getting off the ground but this would make ICE the highest-funded law enforcement agency in the history of the United States, and quite possibly the entire world.

Oh. "This is about whether we have functional constitutional government in this country. If the IRS can go after you because of what you think or what you believe or what you do, we'd no longer live in a free country.“
