these dorks will do anything to get a strong boy picture of themselves in camo on a tank or holding a gun or some shit it's embarrassing

"born for this moment" The world hardly remembers Ponzi? techcrunch.com/2025/06/01/s...

Or, we're all going to die. But some of you are going to die sooner because of these cuts. And my message is please stop whining about it because me and my top supporters just don't care about that.

Uber sent push notifications yesterday to its users in Illinois telling them to call their state reps and oppose transit funding. The bill then stalled in the House so now CTA is on track to close 4/8 'L' lines and discontinue 74/127 bus routes, absent emergency action from the legislature.

Takes a lot of chutzpah to make a $290 million political donation, assume a powerful position in government, use that power to fire tens of thousands of people and do immeasurable harm to American state capacity, and expect not to have to answer for it afterwards.

Made the mistake of telling a neighbour a family member was seriously ill and the first, obviously agitated question back was "has she had the jab?" Ah the joys of living in cooker country

Poor Andy Jassy. Struggling to make Amazon worse. futurism.com/amazon-progr...

Labour today looking at the Polish election results.

The fact that they call it DEI when it is EDI in the UK shows you how brainwormed these rightwing fucks are.

FBI agents are now visiting Charlottesville’s public defenders *at their homes*. It’s naked intimidation of our justice system.

SERIOUS QUESTION: What is going on with all these “officers” in tactical gear for a routine traffic stop—with no clear identification? They seem like imposters. And what’s up with that ball cap?

Chris Murphy on Joni Ernst: "I think everybody in that audience knows they're going to die, they would just rather die in old age at 85 or 90 instead of dying at 40. And the reality is that when you lose your healthcare, you are much more at risk of early death."

Extremely stoned for critique group meeting today. I apologized to my colleagues and then excused myself for a moment because, as I said, my cat was trying to communicate something to me urgently.

This is what "anti-DEI" means to the Trump administration. It's not "some corporate DEI measures are pointless or counterproductive," it's "women and people of color are presumptively unqualified for important government jobs"

Olga Lautman 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @OlgaNYC1211 · 4h If anyone thinks Ukraine would disclose any sensitive operations to the White House they are out of their mind. It’s the same as informing Russia x.com/jenniferjjacob

Democracy in America means that the president and Congress were chosen by people who think this is funny and truthful.

Selected genocide. They're normalizing eugenics.

Margaret Brennan totally exposes FDA Commissioner Makary for making it up as he goes and making conflicting recommendations in order to cast doubt on covid vaccines. He's so terrible during this interview that Brennan is left shaking her head as she wraps it up.

Today marks the end of Jewish American Heritage Month, Illinois. I won't be silent in the face of a continuing record rise of antisemitism in our nation. There is strength in our faith, and we can always find strength in one another.

The Gilroy garlic festival is back after a 6 year hiatus after the 2019 mass shooting, albeit smaller. www.mercurynews.com/2025/06/01/g...

More B.S. Vought, who was a major architect of Project 2025, said that between one fifth and one sixth of Medicaid spending is “improper.” www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Chris Murphy on the crypto bill: "The problem is the existing version of that bill exempts the president from the ethics requirements. It says it's unethical for me to issue or market a stablecoin, but it's okay for the president to do it. That's not something any Democrat should vote for."

Now that Trump has blasted Leonard Leo, don't let the right wing sanitize the Federalist Society. Its members have been supporting voter suppression for years, its judges are among the hardest on voters. What will come from Trump now will be far worse, but do not judge democracy on a curve.

Pretty wild to make your entire case about how immigrants are lawless freeloaders, but having to go to their workplaces and court hearings to arrest them.

MAKARY: 88 percent of American kids, their parents have said no to the covid shot last season. So the vast majority of Americans are saying no. BRENNAN: I don't want to crowdsource my health guidance. You don't go with popularity, you go with data.

California Democrat Calls ICE Agents 'Terrorists'

Senator Joni Ernst: Re: Medicaid cuts, "We're all going to die." Her apology: "I encourage Christianity you to embrace my lord and savior, Jesus Christ.” She apparently never read when Jesus said to feed the hungry, clothe the naked & welcome the stranger. Republican Christianity is fucked up.

Italy’s underground press was responsible for not only informing but galvanizing an ad hoc army and its supporters after more than 20 years under fascist oppression, @suzannecope.bsky.social‬ writes.

Hurricanes have gotten larger and wetter because of climate change and inland communities are at greater risk from heavy flooding. That's what Hurricane Helene did to western North Carolina last year.

Holy shit! Great job! Like we said, if they wanted you to know they were feds, you would know. DHS Secretary Noem could put out that they must be easily identifiable & it would change now, yet she won’t. She’s happy to put her agents no danger with a heavily armed populace. @jesspish.bsky.social

The Trump administration’s immigration policies have created fear and uncertainty for many communities, including people who lived through an earlier crackdown.

According to one of the President’s executive orders, the U.S. will “admit only those refugees who can fully and appropriately assimilate into the United States.” The new Administration has made clear who that might be, @jonathanblitzer.bsky.social‬ writes.

Among European countries with Catholic roots, France wears its religion lightly. Yet it is now witnessing an unexpected surge in religious fervour https://econ.trib.al/Dsmt7Bw

Saudis have seen which way the wind is blowing and decided to go the same way as the US and EU. Who could have seen that coming other than all of us?

At this point, Hamas has more cred than the IDF does.

“Bukele rose to near-total control of El Salvador on a tide of support from the very gang he’s credited with defeating, according to a U.S. federal indictment, the Treasury Department, regional experts, and Salvadoran media…” www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

🪦 50 371 décès en France en avril, semblable à l'année dernière. L'énorme bosse pour 2020 correspond, évidemment, à la première vague de #Covid. A noter : +4,3% de morts depuis le 1er janvier par rapport à l'an dernier, à cause notamment de l'épidémie très intense de #grippe.

The entire point.

Just a small wave at anyone caught up in the Unbound/Boundless mess that you can get advice from the Society of Authors on contracts if you're a member. It's £32 a quarter, cheaper if you're over 65/under 35. Pretty much anyone at any stage of a writing career can join as an associate member.

Labor and the Coalition are on a unity ticket to screw the planet and the Australian public all at once - North West Shelf gas extension will deliver ‘almost nothing’ to Australia’s public purse... #auspol
