You may not like it, but this is what peak gynocenteic communication looks like.

This is why we should never debate the worth of another person We all have value just for being ourselves It’s not tied to our job, or health status or our economic contribution Saying that someone must prove they “matter” to get Medicaid is blatant eugenics Disabled people aren’t expendable!

I do not understand this tendency among journalists to reduce every political event to a prediction about whether it will be a lasting news cycle. On the merits, we have a billionaire who helped a fascist get into power and now believes he can dictate policy. That matters! A lot!

One thing that constantly blows my mind is that Tesla *investors* never focus on the fact that NO ONE IS BUYING TESLAS

The average annual salary in the USA is $60,580. That means the majority of Americans can't afford to have marry and have two kids because even if both parents work they don't earn enough to live comfortably. www.sage.com/en-us/blog/a...

Is there a single Trump scandal that was later proven to be faked? I think the simplest explanation for most of his actions is that he is dumb, narcissistic and impulsive, not that he is a master media manipulator.

Republicans have gotten a *lot* more regressive on gender in a very short period of time. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/04/o...

ICYMI: A coalition of immigrant rights groups sued the Trump administration to block it from paying El Salvador to imprison hundreds of Venezuelan migrants who were removed from the U.S. without due process. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Ignore Elon. Here's the person to really pay attention to: jacobin.com/2025/06/trum...

57 years ago today, we lost the last good Robert F. Kennedy

Fitting for today’s cat fight.

Some of y'all can't handle 2 high agency males going at it and it really shows

Amazing. Respect the lede.

What's so amazing about this is that it started out as a dispute about whether a law would raise the deficit, but both men are giant babies with zero emotional control, so now Trump's threatening to shred Tesla and SpaceX while Musk is exposing Trump as a pedophile. From a spat to WWIII in hours

Honestly, who could have predicted this falling out between possibly the two most unhinged narcissists on planet earth? Was it everyone, or just almost everyone?

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.
