I want Chairman Kaga's cowboy cowprint shirt from this episode. So clean.

It's tragically funny that Gorsuch basically has it all figured out as far as Native American rights, but can't bring himself to extend the same logic to literally any other group.

The current US president admits aiding and abetting the unlawful war of a tyrannical Russian Regime and personally protecting their assets but suprisingly even to me this is only the 2nd or 3rd worst thing he's done or said today.

It’s @goolsbee.bsky.social time!

Welcome to Trump's America, where you can bribe the president in exchange for legal immunity. The United States was founded on the principle that everyone is subject equally to the law. MAGA is converting us into a mafia state, a haven for obscene criminality.

midwestern college towns are *fucked*

I somehow think Justin Wong would disagree.

This isn’t just a suspension of new student visa interviews, it’s also all new interviews for exchange visitors. Many exchange visitors work at summer camps and other similar programs. This could have an immediate impact on many American businesses as well, not just higher ed.

This guy was convicted of stealing more than $10 million in taxpayer dollars, ordered to pay $4.4 million of it back as restitution, but now the taxpayers will get nothing because Trump gave him a full pardon after accepting $1 million from his mother. I need you to spread this story everywhere!

the plan to make america great again is to make us an impoverished garrison state dominated by trump and his oligarch buddies

Herbert Hoover called international services "invisible exports". A real undercommented on fact is that at the same time as Trump pretends to be trying to shrink our trade deficit he attacks some of the U.S.'s biggest service export industries. U.S. exports of services were 30.7% of exports in 2022

Knocking the pillars of American power off the table like a cat exploring cause and effect

My long-term take is that this administration does not have the discipline (or smarts) to entrench fascism longterm before eating itself, which apparently is already happening.

These are @nytimes.com headlines from just the past two weeks. 💰 @peterbakernyt.bsky.social @ericlipton.nytimes.com

it's unfathomably messed up that the president of the United States is using the power of his office to go after a single high school kid.

Pregnant women and fetuses are at unusually high risk from COVID! This is awful...

Tabletop makers are pushing back against Trumps' tariffs with honesty, but also calls for direct political action. @nicolecarpenter.bsky.social spoke with publishers who say the economic chaos has fostered solidarity -- and a will to fight.

There exists a general expectation that corporations will fight against unions, and their own employees generally. That expectation lets them off the hook too easily. Companies should suffer for that choice. www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/infinite-c...

The President of the United States has ordered California law enforcement to physically stop a trans girl from playing games with her friends.

this is going to be real

the president is revoking federal funding from california over one trans kid in track and field

saw myself described as a centrist (among other things) and i continue to marvel at the distance between my stated opinions that i write about on a weekly basis and what people seem otherwise think i believe

National Divorce remains unlikely but if it does happen the path towards that definitely involves doing full blown sectional politics over if its cool or not to harass maybe a few dozen children across the country

Whenever I see people freaking out about trans kids playing sports, I reflect on the fact that my oldest (almost 13) plays club soccer and goes to group training sessions wherein he regularly gets put on his ass by two young ladies (~16yo) who play on the USYNT. Steel sharpens steel.

he is talking about a trans child in sports

Israel's ongoing genocide in Gaza is the most vile, barbaric, and cowardly abuse of colonial power I have seen in my lifetime. Don't let these kids die on our watch. Continue to demand action and sactions from your elected officials. Make sure you're in the streets. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-05...

BREAKING: Scott Pelley just risked everything to make one thing clear: The attack on free speech isn’t coming—it’s already here. Journalists are being silenced, critics are being punished, and most of the media’s playing dead. This is state-sponsored suppression. This is dictatorship in real time.

that one sister just dancing and jamming along 😭

Every year on Memorial Day, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring. They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died. France also gave us this land as American soil.

after many years i can finally post this! you may have seen it in this year's combo breaker guidebook :) thank you again to @thehadou.com for giving me the opportunity to work on such a cool piece (and also for letting me slap axl front and center) ! detail shots and link to prints below

Covid killed millions of people worldwide and the damage that it did to societal cohesion and democratic governance may still have eclipsed the physical damage

Make America diarrheal again

Man, I fucking hate crap like this. I think it's really embarrassing to vote on the basis of "haha lol" no matter how young you are.

Based Bill Burr giving the most based take

Thinking about the children whose families were subject to police raids because they had pirated the wrong songs

This is a great infographic

FYI to media outlets, you're misleading your readers if you repeat this at face value. There's no lawful way for him to redirect these grants elsewhere. It's a lie to distract from how the GOP budget guts educational funding, including Pell Grants at trade schools.

If Joe Biden posted this Memorial Day message, the mainstream media and Republicans would say he is completely unfit to serve, with many calling for the invocation of the 25th Amendment. Because it's Trump, everyone remains silent.

The Pokémon that runs this account

So he raised the tariffs, paused that raise, paused that pause, then paused that pause of the pause. And no-one knows if it'll be paused again (and if such a pause will be unpaused) or what happens when (or if) the pause whose pause was paused concludes.

Marvel could pay for my healthcare for the rest of my life for a fraction of 1% of profit from Spider-Man Noir, a character whose original comics I edited. For Peter David to die in medical debt, co-creator of Spider-Man 2099 and writer of countless seminal Hulk and X-Factor comics—that's a disgrace

Again, a system where selling a lot of children's books gives you the power to actively police speech is a very bad one.
