@chrislhayes.bsky.social: The overwhelming majority of protesters in Los Angeles have been peaceful. But you would not know that from watching Fox News.

How is it possible U.S. citizens are being held as illegal aliens in America even after they produce their birth certificate? This is intolerable. www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/...

We'll say it again because certain people need to hear it: pay for federal workers accounts for just 4.3% of the budget. If the federal government were to fire every single worker, it would only reduce government spending by less than 5%. What DOGE is doing is just cruelty.

Half of the United States has been slowly and carefully inculcated by Fox News to believe that the other half of the country is their enemy and out to ruin their lives. Once this was established, it didn't take long for those viewers to value hurting these other Americans over helping themselves.

Harvey Fierstein has been banned from the Kennedy Center. Asked about it two hours ago, he wrote this and shared this picture:

In some other multiverse timeline, this jaw droppingly racist statement would be lead story of the day.

"dei medal" you might as well just put "n*gger medal" because that's what they mean to say

Guess all our photos will soon have that oh-so natural brown tint again. And so will the phlegm we cough up.

Texas Republican Keithself storms out of the meeting he's supposed to be running because a Democrat asked him to treat his colleague Sarah McBride with respect. These people would not last one day as a trans person.

This is upsetting news I have a ton of the DVD’s that are affected and can confirm MOST of them are DEAD So much money down the drain CONTACT WB AT THE LINK IN THE ARTICLE They are owning up to it and offering replacements or close as possible to it www.joblo.com/warner-bros-...

Fact-check: True

And watch the incompetently engineered, flaming SpaceX rocket debris fill the sky like the most expensive fireworks in history.

That is exactly true.

Please take a breath right now.

Ok thats it for now. I did this on paper. I tried animating the sheriff from Robin Hood. Tiedown on paper vs digitally is a lot harder to do 😭 Not entirely happy with the results, but the process was fun

“…if you really want to proceed to censure the gentleman from TX for talking about no mandate to cut Medicaid, then certainly we're going to have to move to censure the President for using a racial & ethnic slur against a sitting US Senator." 💥⁦‪ @raskin.house.gov

Oh my heart.

Good things still happen.

PEAK Billy Joel from 1997 on VH1's Storytellers. He and his band are in top form here. This is an upload from a higher quality source than previously available on Youtube, so a real gem for fans. youtu.be/k_IoKvr5InA?...

can't believe it's 2025 and i'm stressed about tariffs and measles, like am i a character in an american girl book

3 years ago today we premiered, and pirate history was made🏴‍☠️🫶✨ #OurFlagMeansDeath #ofmd

It’s insane to think that the Trump administration was more welcoming this week to the Tate brothers than to the President of Ukraine.

This is why New Yorkers didn't fall for his con. We've known about his shittiness for decades. (I can't explain Staten Island, though.)

Unsolicited dik dik pic.

Jesus fuckin Christ that is some gotdamn witchcraft right there. The SHINE? The DRAPERY?

literally every time I talk to friends

Volodymyr Zelensky's Oval Office visit ended early when Donald Trump and JD Vance began angrily yelling at him. Here's why women like Kamala Harris and Hillary Clinton are too emotional to be president.

Terry Pratchett had this one nailed in Feet of Clay we don’t do kings here

Stupid take from Newsweek. Civics Lesson in two tweets: Judicial independence is a cornerstone of democracy, ensuring that courts can check executive overreach. Labeling judicial decisions as "resistance" undermines this balance and threatens the rule of law.

My great fear is that, to the average semi-connected US news consumer, the last few weeks just looks like "Trump does a bunch of bold, decisive stuff that leaves his critics running around & squawking."

A gay guy, a Black man, and a woman walk into a flight deck— that’s not the beginning of a joke, but just a regular day at work! There was so much DEI on this plane that we could hardly get in the air. Luckily my limp wrists were able to wrestle the heavy jet back to the ground 💅🏼

Marsha P. Johnson spent her life advocating for LGBTQ people of color, LGBTQ youth experiencing homelessness, and people living with HIV and AIDS. She was a trailblazer for the trans community and an icon to all. Thank you, Marsha.

A reminder that the most educated demographic groups in America are Black women and Asian Americans. Y’all coulda had both in a president.

I've fallen asleep to Brooklyn Nine-Nine every day this week. I call them the DEI OG. 😉 For a lot of Americans, this is a visual representation of what it's like to live in big American cities. Diversity is cool, entertaining, & a beautiful form of community. Fuck white trash supremacists.
