WTF America. Is my door the next one? If this fucking video doesn’t unsettle you, you aren't American enough!

The Navy named a destroyer after Oscar Peterson in 1943, one year after he died. Pretty sure his family was aware of that honor even if Jake Tapper was not.

Not only are ICE bounty hunters, who look more like criminals than law enforcement, abducting people from workplaces & off the street—we’re now seeing they’re being held in private detention centers w/some of the most deplorable conditions imaginable. REPEAT: people are profiting from this cruelty.

My favorite #NoKing pic thus far...

ICE / border patrol randomly grabbing US citizens and forcing them to show ID or get kidnapped based on their ethnicity or skin colour. #3E #StopICE

@maddow.msnbc.com @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com your silence on the attack in Boulder is deafening.

“There are only two kinds of society in which armed agents of the government routinely conceal their identities: (1) Lawless failed states… (2) Authoritarian states… Stable democracies do not allow agents of the state to operate under cover of concealment.” www.thebulwark.com/p/the-secret...

This is the kind of sweeping, truth-telling journalism we need more of. Good job, AP.

TACOs must be part of the “secret menu. #McTrumpTACO

Well, *someone* has to work the midnight shift at red state meatpacking plants.

Helpful travel hint: If your roller bag has Samsung, LG, Whirlpool, or Amana written on the side, it’s NOT a frigin carry-on.

Trump’s tariff strategy is like hitting yourself with a hammer, then asking for applause when you stop.

@mysterysolvent.bsky.social Where are you?!

We are living in a Saturday Night Live sketch, except it’s all real, and none of it’s funny: www.nytimes.com/2025/05/08/u...

That’s the flag raising on Mt. Suribachi on Iwo Jima. It happened in February 1945. It has nothing to do with victory in Europe.

Even *if* you accept Stephen Miller’s (textually, historically, and morally indefensible) claim that undocumented immigrants are not entitled to due process, you’d *still* need due process to ensure that the individuals at issue are, in fact, undocumented. His argument fails even on its own terms.

We hadn’t won World War II by May 8th. I know because my family and I were still in an internment camp in Tule Lake, California.

What a line from Warren Buffett this morning: “Be kind, and the world is better off. I'm not sure that the world will be better off if I'm richer." [applause] 🙏🏼

Living Colour releases their debut LP today in 1988 — with “Cult of Personality”, a song inspired by a chat during rehearsal about what makes a leader charismatic. “Vernon played a riff,” said drummer Will Calhoun. “And next we knew we had a song. All while we were setting up for sound check.”

No, they were supposed to have frickin' laser beams!

This is the best 100-day recap I’ve seen — and it begs the damn question: Why is his approval rating still 39%? Are folks in a coma?
