This is sadistic www.nytimes.com/2025/05/06/u...

Absolutely shameful.   Trump's trans military service ban hurts our military readiness, makes our military's recruitment challenges even worse and disrespects Americans who are brave enough to serve in uniform.   This will make our military less lethal and Americans less safe.

Are the weather forecasts getting less accurate? (Forecast here a few hours ago was for sunny morning in the 70s and its raining and in the 50s). If so, is this a function of harder to predict conditions? The DoGEification of the NOAA?

The pardon-producing power of Mar-a-Lago face

Did evolutionary pressure from plunging Tesla sales bring about this novel subspecies--the Flower Power Cybertruck? Biologist agree that the floral stickers are camouflage--some think they help it blend into nearby gardens; others claim the blooms disguise it as an object of liberal sensibilities

This clip pairs well with articles quoting representatives explaining they know what is the the right thing to do but can't because they are afraid (e.g. www.thedailybeast.com/gop-senator-... )

True facts are true

"Dictator Style" by @peteryork.bsky.social explored palace decor of Idi Amin, Lenin, Franco etc. To "Get the Look" he recommends "Go Big... Go Repro... Think French... Go for Gold..." Americans can be proud of how faithfully the White House now exemplifies this style.

Poisoning the information food-chain

This paper is now published. www.nature.com/articles/s44...

Good reporting here. Student paper gets what the bigs have missed. White House is actually threatening to defund all of bostons major hospitals www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

It would be good to solve this journalistic puzzle before the headline evolution reaches its natural endpoint with "Jews Deported to El Salvador in Order to Fight Antisemitism"

Wait! You forgot decimating scientific and technological leadership. Oh, and shredding moral standing

A fabulous anti-Trump -- a loud, strong, astute woman governor in duck boots www.nytimes.com/2025/04/10/u...

A GOP-controlled state appeals court ruled last week that over 65,000 lawful votes cast in North Carolina's Supreme Court race can be thrown out — potentially handing the race to the Republican candidate. This is what stealing an election actually looks like.

After a face recognition scan at the Detroit airport, an alert sounded. Presumably Mr. Makled is on some kind of list.

What’s really going on with the economy? I believe Trump and his billionaire buddies — the American oligarchy — have a plan. They want a recession. robertreich.substack.com/p/why-trump-...

Once again, the plural of MAGA is MAGGOTS

Are folks ready to talk about how child rape is a central pillar of the American reactionary movement Like it’s not a coincidence

The way we're already pricing in authoritarianism is very, very bad. Trump is using his power as president to openly retaliate against a law firm for representing Jack Smith and it's barely news. The signal this sends is chilling to anyone who would oppose him. What else will he do to his opponents?

And it is what is happening to the United States

People keep saying "it's gonna be a long four years," and I keep saying: this cannot go on for even a small portion of that. People will die, government will crumble, America will go to war, and our democratic republic will be dead, buried, and rotted out top to bottom. He *must* be removed ASAP

So part of destroying USAID is the destruction of the #freepress

The Washington Post and LA Times editorial pages have gone full MAGA, MSNBC has purged all of its anti-Trump anchors, and Twitter is owned by a literal Nazi. Here's why liberal media bias is still a problem.

Debasing is Trump's kink. Women: dangling wealth so they'll let him "do anything...grab them by the pussy". Politicians: enduring humiliating taunts is step 1 on the path to MAGAfication. And now newspapers--how low to go in pursuit of White House press access?

Trump, bone-spurs military-service-evader and appalling disrespecter of veterans, turns diplomacy into mercenary arms dealing.

REVEALED: we identified the operator of an overtly racist X account, "GlomarResponder," as ICE Assistant Chief Counsel James Rodden, based on an overwhelming number of biographical details matched through publicly available documents, other social media activity, and courtroom observation.

Trump parades around in his crown, but he'ss handed unprecedented power to Musk. With Musk minions likely inserting backdoors into the code of numerous govenment agencies, not-so-stable Musk literally has the power to stop air traffic control, defense systems, payments, etc.-- at will.

"Relentless effort to remake." "A degree possibly unprecedented." It is a TOTALITARIAN COUP right under your nose, #BrokenPost. Smell it. Say it. In Trump’s first month, a relentless effort to remake the presidency www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
