…influential authors such as James Baldwin, Toni Morrison & Alice Walker were removed from syllabi & a student debate team was instructed not to explore certain positions at a competition. (Imagine being in a debate round & not being allowed to debate.) Kudos. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

If Trump looks at photographs, he will see MacArthur signing the instrument of surrender and, behind him, an emaciated general: the newly liberated Wainwright. His war had finally ended. And so had America’s. www.politico.com/news/magazin...

Article says these countries could take migrants: Libya Rwanda Panama Costa Rica Cuba Honduras Mexico El Salvador. Trumpers seem to want to parse out different groups of people. Like it mentions Costa Rica was to host a group of Asians. Horrors within horrors. www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

Oh no, there’s some Santorum on the cossack. www.joemygod.com/2025/05/frot...

I can just see the scenario where revengeporn is created of me, whether physical or ai, then I’m in jail. No body is a fan of Mike Lee. Many live and pay bills through onlyfans. Mike Lee is the least messianic LDS senator ever. Pick an actual problem my dude. www.joemygod.com/2025/05/repu...

The disrespect for Congress and the law is glaring - and for our nation a threat to our public safety.

What do area codes matter any more? It’s Ludacris, dogg. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

The cost to manufacture each Revlimid pill, meanwhile, was 25 cents. I found a deposition marked “highly confidential” in which a top Celgene executive testified that the cost started at a quarter and never changed. (costs $20,000 a year, check the article out) www.propublica.org/article/revl...

Gooeyduck clams are a NW treat that is a delicacy in China, with WA sending 90% of its geoducks there, creating a niche yet lucrative American seafood export. That market is shutdown. Some of the people out of this work are highly talented Suqamish divers. www.seattletimes.com/business/how...

Trump is a bigot and a homophobe. Also, this slur makes him sound like he’s a million years old. Buttigieg could win a debate with Trump any day, even if he spoke in the other six languages he is fluent in, and no English at all.

That’s the flag raising on Mt. Suribachi on Iwo Jima. It happened in February 1945. It has nothing to do with victory in Europe.

This is going to hurt the Insurance industry and the Re-Insurance industry. Weather damage assessments are a part of risk management. If you can even get property insurance, the price is going to climb.

Trump saying empty ports is "a good thing" should goddamn galvanize the country

Do we think their algorithm was looking for Black Lives Matter, BLM, but in this case BLM stands for the Bureau of Land Management and it was confusing? National Parks are awesome. Waterfalls & geysers & trees & flowers. Fresh air. They bring in tourism bank. www.govexec.com/workforce/20...

Elon Musk wants to use Mars as his Epstein Island. That’s an excellent supposition. www.foxnews.com/media/elon-m...

..sources militaires pakistanaises, dont le ministre de la défense, Khawaja Muhammad Asif, ont affirmé que 5 appareils de l’armée de l’air indienne dont trois Rafale, un MiG-29 & un Soukhoï SU-30 avaient été abattus avec des avions de fabrication chinoise Chengdu J-10. www.lemonde.fr/internationa...

Three ER visits. 20 hours of suffering. Two ultrasounds to prove a fetus had died. Nevaeh Crain was 18. Texas law killed her. Abortion bans chilled doctors into inaction. Now she’s gone. #BlueSky #MedSky #ObSky #PedSky #NurseSky www.propublica.org/article/neva...

NEW: The rate of sepsis in Houston surged 63% after Texas banned abortion. In the Dallas-Fort Worth area, where hospital leaders empowered doctors to intervene before patients’ conditions worsened, it rose just 29%.

Crockett: I cannot wait until voters have an opportunity to say: You took food out of my mouth. You took a roof from over my head. You are responsible for making sure that I do not have health care. I'm going to make sure you don't have a job.

Valeskog is quoted as saying, "If the U.S. terminates its relationship with the city planning office [of Stockholm, Sweden], the embassy will have difficulty obtaining a building permit if they want to rebuild, for example. That's their headache, not ours." www.rawstory.com/trump-dei-26...

What was good about mining, and manufacturing more generally, was never the work itself; it was only the pay and benefits that unions won for their members between the 1930s and the 1970s, after which their compensation largely stagnated and their numbers declined. -Harold Meyerson

No, Trump is NOT defending mifepristone

By my math, Nike earnings would decline by approximately 95%, states the article. Nike doesn’t have clean hands and hasn’t made a good shoe since the Goat Tek, but interesting article. www.oregonlive.com/business/202...

Shingles are very painful. And this vax is covered under Medicare Part D now. Get it while you can. www.joemygod.com/2025/05/stud...

Super weird how these Trumps keep talking about little girls. What is their problem? It’s creepy. Kids want legos and Pokemon. Adults do too. “I would tell that young girl that you will have a better life than your parents,” Bessent told Fox on Tuesday. “ As if www.joemygod.com/2025/05/bess...

This is really bad. And really dumb. Trans troops are more qualified than their peers. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Losing AmeriCorps in schools sucks. If they were just adults in the room, it was worth the pennies. As an AmeriCorps volunteer, I tried to help kids with reading & writing. I played a lot of basketball. Kids had a safe place to be & a person to dunk on. www.tri-cityherald.com/news/local/e...

110,000+... Imagine filling the University of Tennessee's Neyland Stadium...and then still needing more seats. That's how many lawsuits Advance Financial has filed against its borrowers. From @friedmanadam5.bsky.social for @tennesseelookout.com+ @propublica.org: www.propublica.org/article/flex...

Charles Laughton in Hitchcock’s worst movie, Jamaica Inn. Laughton was a producer and the lead; he went ham. Ern Westmore of the Westmore makeup family did the makeup. Westmore is the uncle of Michael Westmore who did the makeup for Star Trek: TNG and other Trek. Hitchcock brought us Klingons.

We should understand this for what it is: an effort to build public consent for the president to ignore the Supreme Court. abcnews.go.com/Politics/jus...

Nothing to see here. Just @emilyjaynef.bsky.social being forcibly removed from NY-17 Rep. Mike Lawler's town hall tonight for having the temerity to act like a citizen of the United States. Hero.

the story all but says it but hegseth is very clearly trying to purge the leadership of the military of black people and women

Bob Ferguson is really disappointing. He was a great AG. And now he’s Bill Clinton in 1993. Which is not a flattering comparison. Shall we remember… komonews.com/news/local/w...

Fact check on the new bogus fake study that came out this week from forced birthers. The abortion pill has been safe and effective since it was RU-486 decades ago when it was trialed. It’s safer than Tylenol. But Josh Hawley left that out. factcheck.afp.com/doc.afp.com....

As ACLU attorney Julia Kay told HuffPost, “The Trump Administration should not get a gold star for continuing to highlight the glaring legal flaws in Missouri’s case—they could not do otherwise with a straight face.” —Jessica Valenti, Abortion Every Day

Jodie Turner-Smith is such a fashion icon. She proves this on every red carpet. But today she’s proving it in this hat.

I get confused sometimes about how white nationalists can be Afro-Cuban like Enrique Tarrio. Or Asian like Andy Ngo. And then this whole thing where they’re named after a Disney song that was cut from Aladdin the Musical is weird. I feel like this could have gone a better way with these elements.

Measles Mumps Rubella No thank you! Just finished my 2025 two shot vaccine series. Might as well get vaccines while you can. I was already up to date. But it’s been a long time and there’s measles in my community. And it’s cheaper to get the vaccine than to get your titers checked.

I just got an updated COVID vaccine. I am much cuter now. Pathogens are’t pretty.
