Spiegel Cover Germany

Can’t bring myself to throw out this box 🥺

It feels like people are waking up

We wanted to know what the average Black person thinks of Donald Trump. So we asked the communications director of the Houston Young Republicans, who grew up in a mixed race family in a majority white Long Island suburb.

Teachers teach. We need a leaderful movement, and there are leaders all around us.

Today’s cover of the Murdoch-owned New York Post

movies you've watched more than six times, gifs only

Susan Collins chairs the Senate Appropriations Committee and has the power to push back against the Trump-Musk misuse of federal funds. If you live in Maine and are ... concerned? troubled? worried? ... let her know and let her know often.

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame. The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

Here’s the pitch: They hire back the accidentally-fired bird flu folks *and* the accidentally-fired nuclear security guys BUT they put them in each other’s jobs — also by accident! It’s TRADING PLACES meets FAILSAFE meets CONTAGION — and maybe also FREAKY FRIDAY! Need a title.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

Summarizing Elon Musk's government takeover thus far in under 60 seconds:

Don't post AI slop. And if you repost by mistake, as I've done, delete it. When you have something to say and attach AI art, you're undercutting your message and hurting artists. Pay or barter for art. There's a reason good things cost money and take time. AI art is harmful and it looks like ass.

5-10% of people can swing an election

The future is clear.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

Call Kathy Hochul's office in the morning and tell her to remove Eric Adams as mayor: 518-474-8390

Absolute unit

Elon's the kid who had a Super Nintendo AND a Sega Genesis, but still no one wanted to come over.

everyone right now

A new TV series imagines a mushroom that can cure any ailment. In today's episode,  we talk with the creators of the series “Common Side Effects,” which makes fungi the star. Plus, why does snow smell the way it does? Listen here 🎧 : https://buff.ly/4aV761T

Conquest: Trump War: Hegseth Famine: Musk Death: RFK

BREAKING Trump says that he has just spoken to President Zelenskyy. He says JD Vance and Marco Rubio will be leading a meeting in Munich (apparently with Zelenskyy or his reps) on Friday related to Russia/Ukraine. Vance/Rubio will already be in Munich for the Munich Security Conference.

It’s the same picture

Now THIS is the take we were waiting for.

Section 504 ensures that if a state wants federal money, they must protect disabled folks. TLDR, THIS IS BAD

Hi Bluesky! Glad to be here.

Hi everyone WELCOME TO BLUE SKIES ! PETE IS HERE PLEASE BOOST PLEASE FOLLOW @petebuttigieg.bsky.social

I'm not going to read beyond the headline. I want it to be a surprise

I stand with the trans community. Pass it along.

this is essentially, what's up

To all those saying "shouldn't we root out government inefficiency? What's wrong with DOGE?" a quick background on Constitutional law and why the WAY it is being violated exposes the true motives of the criminals:

I was so caught up yesterday, I forgot to post our weekly One Good Thing post. Let’s do this. We need it. Tell me something good. What good thing happened in your life this week? Found it, faced it, or fixed it. Just something good.

What's happening in America is that, in the most literal sense, internet trolls have taken over the government.

Ooo this is a good one ☺️

NEW: I just met @georgetakei.bsky.social and he has a very important message for everyone:

trump’s desire to take over the kennedy center feels like the same ideological vein as guys who want AI to replace art. they can’t imagine creating anything from a place of sincere emotion so they seek to destroy it.

Holy shit this cartoon.

All this administration does is put every single nonprofit and institution into a trolley problem of either sacrificing trans people or hurting everyone else by eliminating federal funding. It won't end with us. They'll do this with every minority until it's only white men who are left.
