. Pure GOLD. Keep it up yall you’re doing great! .

This is the kind of sweeping, truth-telling journalism we need more of. Good job, AP.

That would be awful. Don’t share this.

May 31, 1925: More than 15,000 Klansmen and Klanswomen march through the Long Island town of Hicksville, N.Y., in one of the largest rallies by the order in the Northeast. Police guard a wreath left by the Klan at the town war memorial to prevent irate citizens from trashing it.

Why do people who aren't in the classroom currently continue talking about we need to revolutionize K12 education when they know it will never change until you completely remove standardized testing??? #TeacherSky #EduSky

"Federal prosecutors can bring charges against government workers who violate the criminal conflict of interest statute ... [T]hat's unlikely to happen under Trump."

Trump gave a contract to compile all the information the government has about you to a company named after Sauron’s evil all seeing eye. Seems bad!

"The [UN's Nelson Mandela Rules] hold that regular contact with the outside world is a human right, and that this includes receiving visits. But in [US] corrections departments ... visitation is considered a privilege granted by staff at each facility at their discretion."

Incredible work by the photo editor here

"If there were justice in the world, Musk would never be able to repair his reputation... Musk’s sojourn in government has revealed severe flaws in his character — a blithe, dehumanizing cruelty, and a deadly incuriosity. This should shape how he’s seen for the rest of his public life."

Warning: US children's health policy is coopted by AI that hallucinates scientific papers that do not exist. Meanwhile, measles, long Covid, and bird flu are real. And we really need vaccine campaigns to protect public health. Did I mention that RFK, Jr. is a dumb fuck, kid killing ghoul?

President Trump's lawyers told a court that 60 Minutes' advertisement for an interview of Kamala Harris, which included footage not included in the show's segment, damaged his "status as a media icon." He says if CBS hadn't tricked people thusly, they might have gone to Truth Social instead.

Phang: If you have to resort to deceit to get something done, that tells me what you’re doing is wrong. What’s happening is a dup-and-scoop: people are being duped into going to court, their cases get dismissed, and then they’re scooped up by ICE and deported under expedited removal.

I find it hard to believe that an obscure opera by the director of the Reichsmusikkammer under Hitler is as necessary to program as a new opera by a living composer.

Beyond parody.

"There are countless horror stories from ICE facilities of trans immigrants being deprived of essential medical care ... [A]t least one trans woman has died in ICE custody. Others were berated and insulted by guards, and many immigrants have been outright tortured by ICE personnel."

She is an American citizen, the daughter of a U.S. Navy service member from Illinois, who was stationed in the Philippines during the Vietnam War. This is fascism, plain and simple.

This is what @MarshaBlackburn & SenatorHagerty want you to believe is helping you. Snake oil salesmen. #TrumpsTrillionsTransfer

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security.    Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.   Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

The Dept. of Justice has filed its first voter suppression lawsuit aimed at disenfranchising voters. This is a critical juncture for democracy. Paige and I discuss the implications and how it echoes claims made by failed state Supreme Court candidate Jefferson Griffin. youtu.be/8XEW-Ga428M

Trump always chickens out.

NASA should retake the wheel on space flight.

Breaking - “Secretary of State Marco Rubio says the U.S. will begin revoking the visas of Chinese students, an escalation in the Trump administration’s conflict with both academia and China.” www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s surprise announcement ending coronavirus vaccine recommendations for healthy children and pregnant women blindsided the agency, according to officials.

The Fox Newsification and 4chanification of the GOP has turned the entire party into a bunch of terminally online liars and frauds.

NEWS: A federal court just invalidated Trump’s ”Liberation Day" tariffs, ruling he exceeded his authority under IEEPA. The court said Trump can’t bypass Congress to set trade policy and that these tariffs are unconstitutional and void.

Pretty wild to be living in a time when humans are being forced to work in order to even be considered deserving of life or even to be considered human at all, while simultaneously human labor is being systematically eliminated from the concept of work.
