“Black Press USA has learned that Trump officials are sending back exhibit items to their rightful owners and dismantling them—starting with the 1960 Woolworth’s lunch counter sit-in exhibit.” blackpressusa.com/the-smithson...

He gives good interviews. Tony Gilroy in The Hollywood Reporter. Good bit here. www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-featur...

Through all his troubles, neither the DOJ/FBI nor any state authorities ever subjected Donald Trump to arrest, preferring in every case to proceed by indictment and voluntary surrender. It’s notable that a sitting judge and pillar of the Milwaukee community was not extended the same courtesy.

Amazon sellers are raising prices on hundreds of top-selling items as they confront higher import costs in the wake of President Trump’s new tariffs.

I'm linking to this because traffic has no bearing on this newspaper's viability. By uncritically repeating the government's outrageous lies and both-sidesing everything, the Deseret News is an embarrassment to journalism and to the church that runs it (the LDS one). www.deseret.com/politics/202...

This was taken during the great depression. Sound familiar?

Any moderately competent historian could have told you this is always where it was going to lead

Despite being one of the first to confirm his attendance, Trump will be sat several rows back at Pope Francis’s funeral.

Hi Bluesky, could really use your help 🙏🙏 We just launched our latest game Starless Abyss - the exact week that Oblivion was shadow-dropped.

The reason why older generations burnt the shit out of their meat and boiled the shit out of their vegetables, was your kid died if you didn't. Medium rare steaks and roasted Brussels sprouts are a side effect of an intact food safety infrastructure

This is insane and everyone involved needs to be sued into oblivion and then go directly to jail

me: why do chicken coups only have two doors? interviewer: i meant questions about the job… me: because if they had four doors they’d be chicken sedans. interviewer: you’re hired.

Love tossing a “how you say” in front of a word I very much know how to say

Do you know who also made lists of people with disabilities? Nazis

if Joe Biden had tweeted "Vladimir STOP!" Republicans would have burned the White House to the fucking ground

Our beautiful country is RESPECTED again! Other countries are crossing the street when they see us coming as a show of respect. Thank you!

President Trump raised a record $239 million for his 2025 inauguration celebrations, propelled by contributions from corporations and ultra-wealthy individuals — including more than a dozen people Trump has nominated to a variety of roles in his administration. Here are some of his top donors:

Guys, he really thinks he can win a Nobel Peace Prize ☠️

Talked with @jessicacalarco.bsky.social about “pronatalist” policies—or, DOGE, but for reproductive labor. Taking a chainsaw to what few supports exist for supporting people’s pregnancies and families, making people’s lives more chaotic and unstable, and calling it making America “great” again”…

OPINION by @chrislhayes.bsky.social: “Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is doing an even worse job in one of the most important positions in government than I even thought he would — and that is really saying something.” READ MORE: www.msnbc.com/top-stories/...

Crazy thought but what if we made an AI model that can say “I don’t know” instead of constantly making stuff up www.wired.com/story/google...

Walz: If you say you love freedom but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love is not freedom, it is privilege.

Y’all, I think I found that welfare state the right wingers keep crying about

🚨The Trump DOJ is eliminating hate crime grants—undermining the fight against extremism and violence. SPLC worked with Congress to create and expand these grants, securing record funding last year. We will not back down. 📖 Read via @washingtonpost.com: wapo.st/4lRT5XZ #StopHate #VotingRights

One of my college jobs in the 1990s was working for the newspapers in Utah. My office was over customer service, billing, and delivery of physical newspapers to (at its peak) more than 100,000 households across the state. Two newspapers per day, 365 days a year. Newspapers were cool, man.

* FRANCE'S MACRON: CANNOT EXPECT UKRAINE'S ZELENSKIY TO ACCEPT CEASEFIRE TERMS WHILE CAPITAL IS BEING BOMBARDED @reuters.com

Trump is presenting Ukraine with two bad options—accept a peace plan that rewards Russia for invading Ukraine, or the United States will abandon its efforts to broker an end to the war, writes Phillips Payson O’Brien.

Really wish more of y'all would've believed us.

Newsmax is just running with Trump's altered image of Abrego Garcia's tattoos: "He had gang tattoos on his hands! Which the president showed."

In my film class I have an assignment where they evaluate the AFI Top 100 List and then need to come up with a few of their own best of lists with criteria and some explanations. It's always illuminating. The bro-iest jock-iest guy just turned this in for the final part of his assignment:
