Making a playlist with Taylor, Pearl Jam, and The Boss.

Apologies in advance for what might look like a rambling diatribe going nowhere. But the one thing I know really well - better than almost anyone else - is boxing. And there’s a really valuable lesson from boxing that the Democratic Party needs to learn in a hurry. Let’s start with the boxing bit.

If you’re in Morgantown, WV or you know anybody who is, 50 ICE agents landed at the airport there this morning.

“The reason they’re doing [this] is to try to create an environment of fear, to try to get people like myself... to shut the fuck up,” Piker said on a stream recounting the details of the incident. www.usermag.co/p/hasan-pike...

You can take these 250 pencils FROM MY COLD DEAD HANDS!!

It’s wild that we just let the moment pass but one of the big things that RFK Jr did to make America healthy again was to tell you to eat French fries from a fast food place

RFK Jr. is tasking scientists with finding "the cause" of autism—using Medicare and Medicaid data. Yes, insurance billing records. Let’s discuss why that’s preposterous. 🧵

We need to show up on June 14th! Find a demo near you: nokings.org

Health in the Hood works w/ underserved neighborhoods thru sustainable urban gardens &food distribution. Due to DOGE, funds are being withheld and their abilities to feed the community is at risk. If you’re able, consider donating: shorturl.at/soOYG #DCFL

Brilliant to eliminate Energy Star, a program that costs $32m but delivered $40b in annual savings. None other than the US chamber of commerce tried to save it as a model of business/government partnership. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/06/c...

“Maybe the Children Will Have 2 Dolls Instead of 30”.

For every doll you deny me I will push another jet off an aircraft carrier

CNN: Another F/A-18 fighter from the aircraft carrier Truman was lost in the Red Sea, the second aircraft was lost from the aircraft carrier in just over a week, for 4 people familiar with the incident. 2 aviators were thrown away and were recovered by the helicopter with minor injuries.

“Science has no passport, no gender, no ethnicity, no political party.” EC President Ursula von der Leyen, announcing a €500M initiative to attract top global talent. In a fractured world, science remains a unifying force – rooted in diversity, driven by curiosity, and shared by all humanity.

RFK Jr and Statistics:

The Atlantic: Don’t look at the stock market, look at the ports: “Essentially, all shipments out of China for major retailers and manufacturers has ceased”. It’s not just the value of the cancelled cargoes; America’s logistics system is atrophying. One in 9 jobs in LA depends on its ports.

The police just arrested Clergy who were praying at the Capitol for the second time in two weeks, but just in case you were wondering how Black folks are feeling about all of this, then look at and Black officer trying to hide her tears from everyone.

Happy Cinco de Mayo everyone!

Is this bad? I'm no international shipping expert, but this sounds bad.

Well, I had an interesting Sunday night, how 'bout you?

The time when Donny and Marie had their own Disco Star Wars special. And it's everything you could ask for. #MayThe4th #StarWars

The red lightsaber is for the bad guys 😂

Scoop: RFK, Jr. Will be commissioning a major scientific study to get to the bottom of the controversial question whether tin foil must be used to make tin foil hats, or if aluminum foil hats actually ward off alien mind control rays.

Black Music Sunday: Happy 88th birthday to bass maestro Ron Carter www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

Wanna see something cool? At the Grammy's in 1976, Ella Fitzgerald and Mel Torme explained what jazz is. The result? The crowd losing its mind. 🔥

The current approval rating per The Economist. 😳 He’s a 🤡.

📌Everything would have been different if Merrick Garland took this seriously.

The overuse of executive orders reflects a systemic erosion of democratic process. Unilateral decrees replace legislative debate and undermine the balance of powers at the heart of constitutional governance.

“Terry. Terry. I am the Pope. Did you see the picture? The hat? The beautiful white hat? The tremendous cross? Get him the picture.”

May Day Reminder: The Federal Minimum Wage - in the richest country EVER - is still only $7.25/hr. UNACCEPTABLE.

This is from The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson aired on May 20th, 1977. Carl Sagan says something very important, a strong message that didn't lose any validity since then.

What do they have on marco?

There are high numbers of autistic people in the sciences. So one could argue that autism causes vaccines.

Pussy-ass bezos

Last time I ate waffle house, they were charging extra 50 cents per egg and told you about it w a sticker on the menu. Fuck pussy-ass bezos.

Hell yeah 🤘🏻

🧵 Trump’s hypocrisy is off the charts: Rev William Barber, a giant of activism, was arrested for praying against the budget in the Capitol Rotunda. Reporters were threatened with arrest too. This just days after Trump’s DOJ created a fake “anti-Christian bias” task force tinyurl.com/Pastor-barber

How about taking finding a cure for autism off the agenda…

@nohaaboelatamd.bsky.social

COURAGE. STRENGTH. INSPIRATION. Joseph Peters has autism and lives independently in Hackensack, New Jersey. He lives in his own apartment, assisted by an aide. Medicaid is absolutely vital to Joseph. Cuts of any kind would be utterly devastating to Joseph’s quality of life, and to the…
