What an incredible season finale! Made me feel all my tempers, for sure. 📹 🧊👨‍💻🥁🩸🐐🤯

"And she'll take what you give her as long as it's free" 🎹 🚘🍷🍝 📿 Billy Joel - The Stranger (1977) Throwback Thursday classic spin! 💫 Gotta say it was pretty wild to be a Catholic girl in the late 70s while singing along (loudly) to Only The Good Die Young. 🙏 #vinylsky

AOC: Fox News and the right-wing would have you believe that these American values are something out of The Communist Manifesto. But let me tell you Fox News, I don’t believe in healthcare, labor, and human rights because I’m a Marxist.. I believe it because I was a waitress.

"I love your long shadows And your gunpowder eyes" 🌪️🎸🔥🌏🖤 Neko Case - Middle Cyclone (2009) I adore this album, especially its opening with a feverdream song about a tornado's love! Rawr! I'm a longtime fan of her music; recently reading her book made me a huge fan of Neko, the human. 💪✨ #vinylsky

1/🧵 Judges across ideological lines are ruling against Trump at strikingly similar rates (84% liberal, 86% centrist, 82% conservative). This isn't partisan opposition to Trump—it's the judiciary functioning as intended by cutting across partisan lines to uphold the Constitution.

When people talk about "American Exceptionalism" they now usually mean that Americans are exceptionally bad a running a country.

For those folks who have been waiting to climb the pole and ring the “constitutional crisis” bell, it would appear we have arrived. Neither Judge Sorokin nor Judge Boasberg believed that he was signing a meaningless order, and both judges demanded compliance that never came.

This power grab is unprecedented, unbounded, and unconstitutional.

I'm not amazed at all. Trump has a history of refusing to accept defeat. This is a defeat for him.

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House. We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication. They own what happens next.

The desecration of DOJ's Great Hall isn't just embarrassing—it's strategic demolition. When RFK spoke there, he evoked duty to country. Trump calls prosecutors "scum" while dancing to YMCA. The contrast isn't accidental—it's the point. /1

•••••BREAKING••••• ••MEASLES UPDATES•• More than 300 cases of measles have now been confirmed across more than a dozen U.S. states, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced today. While the largest outbreaks are still in Texas and New Mexico, cases have also been confirmed in…

AOC on senate Dems caving and backing the CR: “A wide sense of betrayal.”

So tired of crosses hanging from the necks of people supporting cruelty, starvation, disease and fascism.

Stunning ✨

This is what many cities in the U.S. looked like before the EPA. Why the heck would anyone celebrate deregulating it?

PEOPLE OF BLUESKY! Ahhhhhh, it smells good here. Behold a trailer for season 2 of Poker Face! It’s gonna be a good one. May 8th on the almighty Peacock!

When I was young--which is to say, up until January 19, 2025--lawsuits were sort of boring and technical. Now they're bold and technicolor, as good lawyers stand up against against a luridly criminal administration. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

one of the things i truly believe is that a significant portion of this country is in the grip of a death cult

If you’re in the US, you can watch PBS for free using the app. There’s a series of documentaries called American Experience that’s really good—each is about a different event in history. Go watch The one about the Gilded Age in season 30. It feels so familiar, it’s genuinely eerie.

They called him Sleepy Joe because we could sleep at night.

There are times when you must speak, not because you are going to change the opposing side, but because if you do not speak, they have changed you.

Listening lately 🖤🎶

The ability to control mass party opinion this directly is unlike anything I’ve really seen in my time covering politics.

When Amazon launched in 1995, there were 5,500 indie bookshops in the U.S., with 7,000 locations. By May of 2023, that number had decreased to 2,185 indies & 2,599 locations. When you purchase audiobooks via Libro.fm vs. Audible, you directly support indie bookshops. Let's make that number grow ❤️

Another week of madness, another loaf of gladness 💛✨

La Mesa Junior High School Vocal Department - Summer Breeze [USA, Folk, Soul, School] (1977): An utterly heavenly version of the Seals and Croft/Isley Brothers song. This song really encapsulate why I love school records so m https://redd.it/sb1ulx https://youtu.be/0kdt1GvQa0s

LOL. Glad I can still laugh in these coupy times

Pure fascism: the put down of the freedom of assembly.

You mean when farmers who are used to selling a shit ton of product for export now can't move it and it will die in the field because there won't be nearly as much demand for their crops and then they find out Americans won't pay high prices for produce? HAVE FUN

Very good information 🧵 Dr. Love is one to follow!

This Dutch short film by Victoria Warmerdam is one of the most though-provoking things I’ve seen all year. It’s worth your 20 minutes: youtu.be/4VrLQXR7mKU?...

"Substitution, mass confusion Clouds inside your head..." The Cars - The Cars (1978) 🚘🎶❤️🎸 Classic. Still sounds so cool! Also, shout-out to long-gone joints, Roller City in Glendora and Skate Junction in West Covina, where I spent many hours of my youth rockin' and rollin' to these tunes. 🛼

I owe an apology to all James Bond movies. I mocked them for having completely unrealistic, cartoonish villains that simply weren't believable. 2025 has made it impossible to levy that criticism anymore.
