It is firmly in the “somebody’s making an active decision to downplay this” territory.

ICE Arrested a Pregnant Tennessee Woman — While in Detention in Louisiana, She had a Stillbirth

More lip service from Trump. (Here's a gift article on the Trump regime's immigration crackdown)

Mainstream new media have to WAKE UP and stop collaborating with an authoritarian regime. Terry Moran is on the right side of history. #TrumpRegime #LAProtests

Great use of taxpayer funds.

Mayor Karen Bass reacts to Trump calling Los Angeles a "trash heap" during a speech at Fort Bragg. “I have no idea where he’s talking about,” says Bass.

Man, I'm so glad that anger, huffiness, pettiness, and vindictiveness aren't officially recognized as emotions, otherwise this whole display would yet again expose sexist stereotypes about leadership.

House Republican budget bill gives Trump $185 billion to carry out his mass deportation agenda—while doing nothing for workers: Immigration enforcement would have 80 times more funding than labor standards enforcement

We need details on this.

Ummm... (here's a gift article)

thanks trump "Nearly 160 companies will be laying off employees throughout the month of June, exceeding the approximately 130 companies that did so in May."

More than a century after the Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921, one of the most horrific episodes of racial violence in U.S. history, the city’s mayor announced a $105 million reparations package on Sunday. It is the first large-scale plan committing funds to address the impact of the atrocity.

Spare us the fake outrage.

Case in point, is Joni Ernst a sociopath?

Serious question - are people who call themselves MAGA sociopaths?

GOP Sen. Joni Ernst responds to voters saying that cutting Medicaid will kill them: “Well, we all are going to die.”

2+2=5

The "U.S. Attorney General" was really flexing her autocratic muscles today. Gotta impress TACO. #Autocracy #ImpeachTrump

If the Senate puts the same thing in their bill, next year when GOP candidates that lose claim election fraud, the courts won't be able to protect democracy. #authoritarianism101

Believe it or not, all three of these fish are the same species… the bluehead wrasse. Wrasses are protogynous hermaphrodites, meaning they transition from female to male over the course of their lives. Each phase can look radically different from each other as evidenced here #coralcitycamera

We have the proverbial batshit crazy, old uncle as POTUS. Believin' all the conspiracy theories he gets in his email and that he sees in memes on social media...

Want to say not all Catholics are idiots. Many recognize that Planned Parenthood provides general women's healthcare - mammograms, cancer screenings, & Pap smears, etc. - ESPECIALLY in rural areas. They also know abortions can't be paid for with federal funding. This is just an attack on women.

Bottom line - DON'T NEGOTIATE. Businesses that cave to Trump over DEI are going to (1) alienate a HUGE majority of their customers, (2) end up having the Trump Administration come back for more/use them for political gain, (3) get bad press, (4) regret it when Trump is gone.

Remember when people who were White Supremacists/Nazis were unquestionably considered bad guys?

I remember that story www.npr.org/2025/05/14/n...

THIS. Share it everywhere.

Shame on you @jaketapper.bsky.social. It'd be one thing if you (and your mainstream media colleagues) were doing the same kind of scrutinization of Trump's mental status but the double standard during the Trump era is mind boggling. Today Trump said Biden had "Stage 9" cancer... give me a break.

But they're supposed to "eat it." How unpatriotic. 🙄

People keep asking why The Onion is doing well right now, and it's simply because we just refuse to kowtow. I cannot stress enough how good it is for your business and your soul be strong and even fun in the face of the ongoing horror and bullshit. www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/st...

I made this video about how gov Janet mills stood up to Trump and won. @msnbc.com

Do your job, Sean.

At a time when the military is having recruitment issues, this administration is doing everything it can to make it more difficult for people to join up. They are threatening our national security, practically on a daily basis. #ImpeachTrump

Liar, liar, pants on fire (big surprise, Trump lies about everything) #ImpeachTrump

Thank you MSNBC for devoting precious air time to Trump's troll post depicting himself as Pope

Hegseth is LYING. The reason they're doing this - they don't want generals who might push back against their authoritarian use of the military. And how the hell are they going to hire more people when they've been experiencing recruitment problems for years? #ImpeachHegseth #ImpeachTrump #Threat

I hope everyone working on LLMs has reckoned with their role in building a technology that, so far, has offered little to no benefit to humanity — while causing real harm by degrading art, undermining labor in creative industries, and straight up automating political propaganda

Pure evil. #ImpeachTrump
