Congress will pass Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill”. The Supreme Court will continue to bend the knee. The Democratic Party will remain useless as they prioritize donors and power over country. There is only one way this ends: The people unite—against fascism, against oligarchy, against the system.

NYC Comptroller Brad Lander: "I don't think the line for the [Democratic] party right now is between progressives and moderates; I think it's between fighters and folders."

This sounds like a bit but I’m being serious: kids using chat gpt for their homework are denying themselves the invaluable experience of learning how to bullshit their way through a problem. You drink some caffeine the night before and figure it the fuck out. That’s a skill. You need it in life.

More Democrats growing a spine in real time. This was unexpected from @governor.ny.gov but she delivered a great message.

Massive #NoKings march in New York City!

A sign sighted at a Rhode Island #nokings rally. I definitely can get behind this.

BTW, Boston is currently leading the league in protesting:

My favorite #Wisconsin #NoKings sign/flag from today. #wipolitics

The signage in NYC today was strong. #NoKings #NoKingsNYC

This is the Republican party in its purest form. Anyone who thinks like this is absolute trash. What a worm of a human being.

#ICE protest in downtown LA.

“I struggle for adjectives to adequately describe the horror that this administration has visited on the world,” said a former State Department official. “It keeps me up at night.”

Reggie Watts addresses Thom Yorke’s statement on Palestine and it’s good

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy: “The New York City subways are full of people ON DRUGS who are COMMITTING CRIMES.” Me at 8:30am on the subway: *watches a guy coming home from a rave tell a couple that their baby is so cherubic it makes him want to be a father*

Branding those opposed to Netanyahu policies as anti-Semitic is ‘slander’, says Michael D Higgins

This is pretty nakedly corrupt.

It should not be controversial to say that the starvation of Gaza’s children is wrong, @julieebeck.bsky.social argues:

The Trump administration intends to deport a Harvard scientist back to Russia, government lawyers told a federal judge on Wednesday. The scientist fled the country in 2022 and fears she will be arrested there over her protest of Russia’s war in Ukraine.

you want to know one reason people are losing trust in the media? it’s the total inability to call things what they are some guy on YouTube: “wow this is the most corrupt shit I’ve ever seen” the Times: “critics say it raises appearance of impropriety” who are people going to take seriously?

Sounds like Trump did a very bad job

Just curious, what’s the tariff on a $400 million jet from Qatar?

A little two part FAFO story from the other place to get your Friday started right 🤣

hey Boston #celtics just in case you weren’t clear, the paint is not lava.

TANK vs TESLA "We've crushed fascism before and we'll crush it again" - ⁠WW2 veteran Ken, 98, in the tank

A federal judge in Rhode Island blocked the Trump administration from effectively dismantling three small agencies: Institute of Museum and Library Services, the Minority Business Development Agency, and the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service.

if I see Jayson Tatum or Jalen Brown hoist up another three I may puke on my coffee table. #celtics

To those that celebrate, #maythefourthbewithyou #hanshotfirst

Happy Traveller Day to everyone who celebrates. #travellerrpg #travellerrpgday

bonne nuit, fuckos

Did you know? Every year, the Supreme Court’s nine justices fill out a form that discloses their financial connections to companies and people. Our database allows you to search for organizations and people that have paid them, reimbursed them for travel and given them gifts.

i'm mostly not out here just to repost memes, but this is in fact a photograph of me soooo

Guys, it’s all fine. Relax. What could go wrong with this guy? 🤷‍♂️

Obviously just added it to my queue.

I still can't get over RFK jr's idea of what autism is like. "Autistic people will never play baseball" is crazy. Has he met a pitcher? Or a single baseball fan? It's the most fucking autistic game ever. It's the trains of sports.

Sharon Osborne should pour herself a nice hot cuppa STFU for her limey mouth. #kneecap #freepalestine 🇵🇸🇮🇪

This is an amazing explanation but an absolutely wonderful man. We need more like him to call out the insanity #USDemocracyqqqqqq11

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

When Clive Barker was working on the MUMMY remake for Universal in the early '90s, he had a trans character in the script, and when the studio vetoed it, he basically said "I really can't stress how much I don't need to fucking make THE MUMMY" and left.

Just so we’re clear, everybody calling Kilmar Abrego Garcia a “terrorist” or a “gang member” are lying, and they know they’re lying, and they repeat it for purposes of confusing people who don’t follow this stuff closely into accepting what was done to him.

I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you. The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

I don’t think people understand that there’s NEVER been a president that openly defied a UNANIMOUS Supreme Court decision in this way. EVER.

An amazing thread for anyone interested in film history and race.

Hey, did you know there's an alternative to ChatGPT that makes sense economically and doesn't destroy the environment? It's called English majors and they will happily fix all of your documents for the low price of health insurance and a living wage.
