Watching that video of Diddy beating Cassie to a pulp made me sick to my stomach and mad as hell. It apparently made Bill Maher think she was the problem and Diddy was in the right. Why the fuck are Democrats still giving attention to this woman-hating Trump-loving piece of shit?

If #RFKJr wasn’t pro-disease, but still believed the - repeatedly, thoroughly, and clearly - debunked “vaccines cause #autism” crap, he would fund research to find and replace the “cause of autism” in #vaccines. Either he’s mentally disturbed and/or there’s a personal profit motive (I vote both).

Here’s the often overlooked reason Trump’s attacks on Harvard and others he singles out by name — including specific law firms, charitable organizations, radio and TV networks, and individuals — are flatly unconstitutional: they violate Article I’s absolute ban on Bills of Attainder: f.io/RnNoLD5I

President Trump and his family are extorting billions of dollars from US companies and foreign nations. In new piece for @TheAtlantic I examine past US corruption - and conclude Trump can't be compared to anything American, only Russia or Africa. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Marco Rubio, who has personally ordered the deportation of multiple people solely on the basis of their protected speech, announces that he will restrict visas for foreign officials who "are complicit in censoring Americans." Free speech for me but not for thee - that's the Trump way.

I’m sure I’ll be called a “grammar Nazi” for this - because to the proudly ignorant education is on par with the Holocaust - but if you have ever been to school for more than 5 minutes you should know the difference between “our” and “are.” Surely even the USA’s red state schools teach that much?!

Given that Republicans control Congress and Supreme Court (in spite of it’s pretensions to impartiality), this is almost certain to become law, possibly forcing this vastly profitable industry to move offshore, to countries that support free expression, rather than merely offering it lip service.

What kind of moron, in their official government capacity, would use such a third party service anyway? As an Israeli company, they’d have to make data available to Israel’s terrorist government on demand, violating national security interests. #signal #infosec techcrunch.com/2025/05/05/t...

Russia has declared its conditions for ending the war, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov announced. It amounts to Ukraine’s unconditional surrender. Let’s not waste any more time on this and finish the job in the only way that works: with Russia’s unconditional surrender.

People are genuinely like: “I know he has #ADHD. I don’t mind, but I wish he wouldn’t <X>”, where X invariably comes down to “act like he has ADHD” Get used to it. This is me. I’m pretty successful by most standards, great at what I do, and have no patience for this virtue-signalling hypocrisy.
