I'm just having a really negative reaction to people's reactions to Musk's claim that Trump is in the Epstein files. My reaction is: In 2016, one of his victims openly sued Trump and Epstein jointly claiming she was raped at the age of 13.

PRIDE MONTH DOUBLE RAINBOW IN CHICAGO HOLY SHIT

I cannot stop wheezing

This tweet aged like milk in the sun

Let's be fair here. Just because Elon says that Trump is in the Epstein files and just because there are dozens of photos with Trump & Epstein together and just because Trump called Epstein a "terrific guy" who "likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side"...

And to think, Canada could have been a part of this well-run real grown-up country for the low-low price of $61-billion for a missile defence system that won't work

The Department of Justice is now just another part of the Republican voter suppression war machine. I will do everything I can to "thwart" its efforts to under free and fair elections.

I think there's a greater than zero chance we can get them to agree to participate in a golden thunderdome cage match. We just need to leverage the correct memes in the proper sequence

here is my official stance on days like this: whether or not they are trying to do a thing or distract us or whatever... they hate it when we laugh and they especially hate it when we're laughing at them. they want us scared, not joyful. they want us distracted by panic and fear, not having fun.

this is just like the parable of the scorpion and the scorpion

When a pregnant woman is having a medical emergency, doctors are required by law to provide life-saving care. That includes abortions. Donald Trump and RFK Jr. think they should be the ones to make decisions in emergency rooms — not your doctor. This will hurt women everywhere.

Not a single tweet in defense of Trump from JD Vance after Elon called for Trump to be impeached and for Vance to take over. Pretty telling...

NASA has gotten to space without SpaceX and can and SHOULD do it again. Let's not overstate the range of possibilities.

Protect this judge at all costs.

It’s probably bad that the future of America’s government pivots on a fight between Lex Luthor and the Joker

This message brought to you by Harriet Tubman, an actual person who actually lived.

BREAKING NEWS: This video will likely improve your day.

Donald Trump’s own Treasury nominee wouldn’t answer basic questions about this administration’s tax policies, so let me explain: They’re slashing health care coverage for families to fund tax giveaways for billionaires and billionaire corporations.

must be incredibly frustrating and disheartening to have federal funding that was promised to you for important work suddenly and arbitrarily ripped away

Elon Musk, the genius visionary who could not predict that the guy who has betrayed every person he has ever met would betray him

i would've thrown that banana at him.

Trump and MAGA are about due for their "Night of the Long Knives"

once again I must tap my own sign

this is like drake and kendrick lamar but they're both drake

Ah, the golden age.

I'm just glad one of these men has the nuclear codes and the other has all our personal data.

I feel like Kissinger came back and died AGAIN.

ART was a big transport with a lot of interactive processes and systems working in concert, which meant there were a lot of storage spaces that would not be obvious to human intruders.

They’ll kick millions of the poor off Medicaid then make it pricier for them to buy their own insurance.

With mandatory spending like say, Medicaid, congress doesn’t appropriate it. It’s automatic. But the CUT it they have to change the law, and that’s what they want to do. The truth about spending youtu.be/EHPk1c-LhqA

Yes i think it's good to do this if you are of childbearing age. I don't encourage everyone else to hoard these. What the rest of us can do is to get immediately skilled up in SMA. truthout.org/articles/lea... - I've been talking about this for many years and get educated.

Is there anybody on God's green earth who thinks that the Qataris are giving a plane to Donald Trump without expecting something in return?

"While Griffin’s concession is great news for voters — and fair elections — Republicans have other maneuvers up their sleeve to undermine democracy. For nearly a decade, they’ve been plotting to take control of state elections — and they may finally have succeeded." - Billy Corriher

The American Keir Starmer

Let’s just call the whole ‘Free Plane from Qatar’ what it actually is - a taxpayer-funded $400M Bribe, money-laundered through the DoD. Details here: www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

@lwvus.bsky.social CEO Celina Stewart warns that the SAVE Act could disenfranchise approximately 69 million women who change their name after marriage, a figure large enough to sway election results.

Oh man, this #IronHeart poster fucking whips

@chrismurphyct.bsky.social is right. The GENIUS Act, without serious fixes, rubber-stamps the President’s corruption. Democrats should not be helping the President cash in.

NPR gives Murderbot a terrific review (but, mostly, the review about how Apple TV+ is full of great shows that no one has heard of) www.npr.org/2025/05/12/n...

The first trailer for Ryan Coogler's 'Ironheart' has been released. Starring Dominique Thorne, Anthony Ramos, Lyric Ross, Alden Ehrenreich, Regan Aliyah, Manny Montana, Matthew Elam, and Anji White. The first 3 episodes will premiere June 24th on Disney+. [📽 Via Marvel Studios] #Ironheart

“I could explain Hasan Piker’s politics to you, but that’s entirely irrelevant. The bold, all caps, underlined point is that a high profile, US-born American citizen was detained on Sunday by ICE for, it would seem, the crime of speech.”

Yes. www.billboard.com/music/music-...

Democrats just flipped the Omaha mayor's office with ads like this. The right-wing obsession with genitals is starting to backfire.
