Whoa. Spicy footnote from Justice Jackson, dissenting in the ADA case. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

Tonight, I'll go home and sleep in my bed. I have a lawyer, I'll get due process. But Edgardo, whose arm was ripped from mine by ICE agents, has none of those things. That's why I'll keep coming back to court, week after week, to make sure that people's rights are protected.

I’d like to say “we’re better than this.” But the truth is that this dark and hateful strain of nativism and bigotry has always pulsed through the body politic of America. Now, however, it’s’ being activated and applauded from a lawless White House.

In 2016 MN Police killed a Black man named Philando Castile despite him disclosing he had a legal firearm. Yesterday MN Police released a white woman named Jenny Boelter despite her car full of cash, firearms, & passports hours after her husband mass murdered people & was on the run from police.

The Minnesota shooter apparently used data broker websites to find the home addresses of the people he shot and murdered. Congress has had years to do something about data brokers and they've sided with the tech lobby over and over again. Their inaction is deadly.

This is a United States Senator mocking the assassination of a Minnesota legislator and her husband. He pretends to be a good Mormon. He’s a sick fuck.

just watched this netflix documentary on the oklahoma city bombing and once again i'm struck by how so many of the popular media takes on this event just avoid entirely the connection to organized white supremacism

Newsom: “The courts have ruled. The Guard will be back under my command — and Donald Trump will be relieved of his command at noon tomorrow.”

PADILLA: “If this is how the administration responds to a Senator with a question, you can only imagine what they're doing to farmworkers, cooks, and day laborers throughout the country.”

This happened live on the show today. Independent journalist Jorge Ramos caught up with a pregnant U.S. citizen who told us she was roughed up and arrested by federal agents during a detainment near Los Angeles. Watch!

BROWARD SHERIFF TONY: “We have other priorities in this community I am focused on and immigration is NOT ONE OF THEM. It’s not our preview. It’s not our responsibility and I will NOT participate in it.”

this is good

this is one of the most insane home run robberies i've seen

This stuff doesn’t look very protect-and-serve-y

😕🇺🇸

she’s like 15 feet away. absolutely that man’s whole thought process was: “I’m gonna shoot that woman”

LAPD fired rubber bullets at Australian journalist @laurentomasi.bsky.social

This is the type of hoop conversation we need more of on tv. Media needs to educate viewers on concepts and plays. Go beyond..”team A played harder than team B”. Raise the hoop IQ level of the conversation. It’s a beautiful game. Part art. Part tactical. Lebron & Nash🔥 youtube.com/watch?v=6Lio...

Idiocracy undersold it

The long arm of Ukraine

Waking up to Ukraine absolutely shredding Russian military and air force Is amazing Slava Ukrainii

A drug addict usurped congressional power, and unilaterally gutted US soft power. Members of the administration knew about, and were disturbed by, his drug use (WSJ). Isn’t this a cover-up?

Fiona Hill: "The United States is on a path toward full-on state repression."

I love how MAGA still can't decide whether Covid-19 is the most nefarious bioweapon ever devised, or a harmless cold you'd be stupid to vaccinate yourself from.

Fifty years after he was graduated from Princeton University, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell delivered the baccalaureate address at his alma mater. This is how he ended the speech:

BREAKING: Scott Pelley just risked everything to make one thing clear: The attack on free speech isn’t coming—it’s already here. Journalists are being silenced, critics are being punished, and most of the media’s playing dead. This is state-sponsored suppression. This is dictatorship in real time.

LeBron James now has as many All-NBA selections as Michael Jordan and Wilt Chamberlain combined. One more than Magic Johnson and Larry Bird combined.

When a Government is scientifically illiterate, but doesn’t know it, then its actions (or inactions) can be a recipe for the dismantling of an informed and enlightened Democracy. #ScienceMatters

Please, tell me more about “weaponization of government”: www.nytimes.com/2025/05/22/u...

House GOP is holding a hearing on their tax bill at 1:00 AM because they don't want us to know about their scheme to strip 13.7 million people of health coverage & they think no one will stay awake for it. I’ll be there, testifying & offering amendments to protect our families.

I feel like I'm having a stroke

"Totalitarianism in power invariably replaces all first-rate talents, regardless of their sympathies, with those crackpots and fools whose lack of intelligence and creativity is still the best guarantee of their loyalty." -Hannah Arendt

On this day in 1918, a white mob from Brooks County, Georgia, lynched Mary Turner, a Black woman who was 8 months pregnant, for speaking out against the lynching of her husband the day before.

Just a few weeks ago people were pitching Cory Booker as a front runner for the 2028 Dem presidential nomination. Tonight he was the only Senate Dem to vote to confirm Jared Kushner’s convict dad as ambassador to France. Sheesh.
