I'll take it to the extra step: It's deeply troubling that prayer is led in the House of Representatives every morning. This should never have been allowed to happen. America was not founded as a theocratic nation.

I keep thinking about this @gelliottmorris.com analysis and what it says about media asymmetry. When Fox finds an issue like Benghazi or emails, it hammers it relentlessly for years. Lib media reports on it and quickly moves on. Probably to “did Dems err by pushing this woke issue?”

“why are u posting this ridiculous stuff instead of focusing on the real issues” sir i am a red panda in a darth suit

Fuck yeah!!!

AOC: The girls are fighting aren’t they

I feel like Musk could really blow MAGA's collective minds just by continuing to tweet out facts the rest of us have known for years but never penetrated their media bubble.

trans kids are not “a wedge issue” they are children jfc

This is a bad take, which just got a very public boost. (A) It's inaccurate: he was CHARGED, but not sentenced or even convicted. (B) Were he of all people to resent a broad application of fair use to defend access to works it would be a preposterous shift from everything he openly advocated for.

there are people who would accuse this person making this statement of antisemitism, and I think we ought to suspect the motives and intentions of such people, but at the very least we ought not to listen to them

Let whoever posted this run the party.

Maybe we need US Senators who aren’t actually rooting for you to die.

reputable medical journals keep saying that RFK and his pro-disease friends are full of shit and so naturally they must be shunned www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

my most Gen X coded belief is that cities and the culture at large suffer profoundly for the near-complete death of alt-weeklies

"Our 'we are not the Gestapo' slogan has people asking a lot of questions already answered by our slogan."

I think about this comic all the time.

In these dark times, it’s great to come together and find something we can all take joy in.

somehow reading this made me even more persuaded that this is more about the resentments and ax grinding of professional commentators than an honest electoral analysis www.thenation.com/article/poli...

A touching pregame tribute on the @Phillies broadcast 🤣

4 new words added to the script. I want my lawyer. Every day is shut the fuck up Friday

Sesame Street is officially UNION! Workers at Sesame Workshop, the nonprofit behind Sesame Street, have voted 55-19 to join @opeiulocal153.bsky.social Huge congrats to @sesameworkersunion.bsky.social! “We can officially say that today, May 15th, is brought to you by the letter U!”

Lot of people in my mentions responding to the below video and saying Noem is gonna go to jail etc eventually and folks we have got to stop indulging in West Wing fantasies about what happens to these people.

The "long-shot" in the headline misses the point. Forcing a vote on impeaching Trump has a 100% success rate on forcing a vote on impeaching Trump which is one of the best ways of setting the right agenda. If R's taught something is that relentlessness works. via @drjennings.bsky.social

When he looks at the transcript of his statement, I bet he's disappointed in himself for using just *one* too many words

The reason I love college students is why elites so fear them

This is violence. It’s eugenics. It’s fucking evil. And the worst part is it’s gonna get very little attention and most people aren’t even gonna notice cause y’all have simply moved on.

“i asked chatgpt” yeah well i scrawled my query where the old gods dare not tread and carved the answers upon my very bones and when i could not remember, i excised the texts from shattered skeleton until, in my madness and pain, i was made free from that ai fuckery

Please don't put in the newspaper that 28 children laughed at me

Shout out to the literally last person without power after the storm.

gavin newsome: …well thanks for coming on the pod, great discussion and really learned a lot ICE agent that just pepper sprayed a baby: hey, thanks for having me this was really fun

Cops refused to mask to prevent the spread of Covid but happily mask to live out their fash fantasies.

“we get a standalone vote on an amendment that will 100% fail so that we can pretend we tried” is maybe the single most infuriating “tactic” Dems use and exhibit A in why Schumer needs to go embarrassing and disqualifying

@pgh-scanner.com OMG missed the location but did you hear the call for a cat in a tree? It's the dream call for a firefighter, but response - "we don't climb trees for cats" What a buzzkill.

The problem with the left is all the word policing

I’m tired of people saying we don’t have any proper male role models as if Weird Al hasn’t been around for decades

To be clear, Germany is cracking down on a Neo-Nazi party, and the US government is defending the Neo-Nazi party

Reminder that in December, Nancy Pelosi, from her hospital bed, whipped the vote for Gerry Connolly—who'd recently been diagnosed with throat cancer—against Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. www.jezebel.com/75-year-old-...

American. Citizens. Cannot. Be. Deported. I know we all want to be concise, but we simply cannot use the shorthand terms of the fascists when they describe wildly illegal & unconstitutional things. Extrajudicial renditions. Kidnappings. Wildly unconstitutional fascism. All right there as options.
