From the New York Times, a 5 part podcast ignoring their own role in fomenting a moral panic targeting trans youth.

My favorite encounter with a rather friendly and chill green heron.

Despite all their contradictions and lies, MAGA has been remarkably consistent in one area: their hatred for America. They hate the people, hate the places, hate the very idea of it. MAGA changes positions on a whim all the time, but they will never, even by accident, make Americans' lives better.

Maybe it’s all gonna be ok. Just. Maybe. #rva #rainbow

Desperate to keep VA’s governor house red, Youngkin has vetoed legislation to keep contraception legal. That should work… 😂

Just like he cannot fire the heads of IAF and ADF, picked by their boards, or the Register of Copyrights, picked by the Librarian of Congress.

Some will just die better than others. And guess who gets to decide…

ICE spotted at Courthouse and Ironbridge in the Southside of Richmond, Virginia.

But… if only there were a profession whose job it was to make these things stick by explaining and amplifying them. Hummmm…. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

SCOOP: The State Department's new reorganization plan includes the opening of an "Office for Remigration," a term popularized by far right extremists and neo-Nazis in Europe. The office will coordinate directly with DHS "to advance the President’s immigration agenda." My report:

Laszlo is unimpressed with the Austin equalizer.

Laszlo enjoying some #mls.

Honestly, they don’t even like themselves. And that’s exactly what they vote for.

LEFTIST: Dude, you need to grow up and get a hobby. Start treating women like people and find a useful role in society. RIGHT WING INFLUENCER: You’re a pussy. You’re a beta cuck. You’re poor because of the soy in your blood. Suck my dick, simp. YOUNG MAN: the liberals have left me no choice

Figures that I didn’t take my camera out to Shiplock Park today for my first green heron sighting of the season. At least he ALMOST let me get close enough for my phone to do an OK job… #rva #bird #heron

Sums things up pretty nicely. Always nice to decide that someone ELSE should work in the sweatshop.

a lawless society if what you want to do is commit right wing terrorism

Kind of thought refusing to release innocent people while simultaneously continuing to pardon guilty people might cause a bigger stir in the press.

The AI bros aren't good at anything creative and resent everyone who is. Their dream is, "type in a prompt and make the movie/album/picture you want." Sure, that'd be neat, but I want art *better* than I could've thought of. That'll only come from people better than me at making the art.

This is fucking amazing.

Being a real man seems tiring. I hope at least some of y’all get to be fake men, who are allowed to eat ice cream and hug their kids.

Ivy Main: “One state that will lose big under Trump’s order [stopping approvals, permits and funding for wind projects] is Virginia, which has positioned itself to be a national leader in offshore wind deployment, supply chain and manufacturing.” bluevirginia.us/2025/05/ivy-...

The House budget would let Trump dodge court rulings, slash aid for vulnerable Americans, while also funnel billions to militarize ICE. As @reichlinmelnick.bsky.social puts it, this would make ICE “the best-resourced law enforcement agency in the history of the country." ✍️ @tusk81.bsky.social

Every Harry Potter book or shirt you buy directly funds the persecution of trans people. There's absolutely no excuse to support anything Harry Potter anymore unless you hate trans people.

“I agree with Nick.” Kill the industry, you say? That sounds tough for that industry. Which industry was that again? Oh. The stealing industry? Maybe killing that industry wouldn’t be such a bad thing? Considering it’s kind of a bad industry. Unlike the other one, which it’s currently killing.

Hahahahahahaha.

Ah, but you see, covering Biden means you can play act at being a hard nosed journalist without taking any risks or having to reflect on the morality of your own profession!

🤣
