NEW YORK (AP) — FAA says helicopter company whose sightseeing chopper crashed, killing 5, is shutting down operations immediately.

The imperial presidency is finally eating the Constitution. Arguably every modern president has repeatedly violated the Bill of Rights under the guise of national security. Now a president is shredding Article 1 and Article 3, too.

This video shows the fire damage inside the Pennsylvania Governor’s mansion. Governor Shapiro’s reaction to the arson attack is on my timeline.

How much you wanna bet that soon we’ll find out it’ll cost $100 billion or some such amount to fix everything he broke?

AOC: And you know who from Utah voted for that? Both of your senators—Mike Lee and John Curtis Crowd: Boooo AOC: They know that’s not what you want. But they also know they’re not there to serve the working class—they’re there to serve themselves and the billionaires who paid them

Not Antisemitism (according to MAGA): - Firebombing a Jewish governor‘s house during Passover - Doing a Sieg Hitler salute - Eating dinner with neo-Nazis Antisemitism (according to MAGA): - Saying Israelis and Palestinians deserve rights and dignity - Using freedom of speech on campus

20,000 in ruby red Utah on their feet, in community, and ready to organize for a better world. A better world is possible.

heads up horror devs, i bothered to look up the eternal darkness sanity system patent and apparently it expired in 2021 go wild patents.google.com/patent/US693...

A comical response to a completely self-imposed crisis.

Although prison abolition is often dismissed as naive idealism, I am often struck by another form of wishful thinking---that with just a few tweaks, we can have "humane" prisons that rehabilitate. I think the distance between the status quo and that reality is just as large, compared to abolition.

We watched people standing in line for 8-10 hours to vote in Georgia, so they made it illegal to give them water. They called in bomb threats to majority Black polling places. They did everything they could to suppress the vote. And then folks are out here like, "well Georgia voted for this lol"

Eric Adams and Andrew Cuomo think we don't need any changes... they obviously side with Trump and Elon on gutting the FAA. The helicopter was on its 8th flight of the day and NO flight recorders. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

"The left went too far" in contemporary U.S. politics is almost always a lie and a very convenient way to rationalize moral failure. For example, "MeToo went too far" replaces "I do not care about sexual violence or its victims and I don't want to have to even feel bad about that"

Hamas has condemned Israeli forces for preventing Palestinian Christians from reaching Jerusalem to take part in Palm Sunday services, which mark the beginning of the Christian Holy Week leading to Easter. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/zkw9tq

THREAD: The Trump administration's DOJ has removed a study from the NIJ website that found that immigrants, and particularly undocumented immigrants, commit crimes at significantly lower rates than U.S. citizens. The study is at odds with the Trump regime's propaganda about immigrants & crime. (1)

It’s moments like these when we might consider it relevant that the current FBI director who might be charged with investigating this crime appeared eight times on the podcast of Stew Peters, a Christian Nationalist who recently called for a “final solution” to America’s “Jewish problem.”

ANOTHER DAY - dashare.zone ADMIN

The bipartisan belief that America would be a better place if *other people* worked in a factory. www.ft.com/content/8459...

Bring back *everyone* who was sent from the U.S. to CECOT in El Salvador. *No one* should be sent there. ALL their rights were violated. ALL of them should come home.

More in No, Other People: New poll: “America would be better off if more people worked in manufacturing.” • 80% of Americans agree • 20% disagree “I would be better off if I worked in a factory.” • 25% of Americans agree • 73% disagree • 2% currently work in a factory

it’s very funny to be like “democrats need to step back and let americans suffer and die so they get that living under a fascist regime is bad.” they were already doing that. you didn’t need to say anything

Anytime comics as a storytelling medium is brought up, I think of these two panels by bill sienkiewicz. Like this is special and unique to comics. It's beautiful and I think anyone that says comics are a lesser medium is crazy.

This is how all billionaires, and everyone in Trumpland, should be covered. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Have a good Sunday. Do not rank Andrew Cuomo.

NEW: The govt has filed it's daily status report on Abrego Garcia. ICE official Evan Katz declares Abrego Garcia was removed illegally, but that's okay now because the government has declared he's a member of MS13, and they have no further updates. WOW. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

NEW: DOJ doubles down on refusing to follow Judge Xinis's orders. Today's status report contains nothing new. It again fails to provide information about steps they're taking to bring Mr. Abrego back), and arguably violates her command that a declaration be made by someone with personal knowledge.

it is interesting how this was totally an elite fabrication. trans rights were on the path to general acceptance on the gay marriage coattails but nearly our entire elite culture including elite liberals decided to run a multi-year op against a tiny minority

looks like we are doing line go down tomorrow

Here is a fucking reminder that you can critique Trumpers without describing them as "sick" or "broken" or their white supremacist actions as an illness! They are acting out of bigotry but disabled folx like me, do not deserve such rampant ableism from you! Disability is not an excuse for bigotry! 🔥

2018 I start a production gig at Coachella. 2019 I started working Advance for Bernie. Last night, the two converged!

Every politician fears the day when the uncomfortable truths of their past come out. For me, this was yesterday when the @nypost.com released a bombshell story on my campaign…for Student Body VP of Bronx Science. Thank you to the Post for holding me accountable. I am committed to doing better.

Just remember, everyone, we need to be bipartisan. It’s really important to work with the guy who thinks the deep state made his brother punch him in the face.

I love this sign so much.

“We want the bureaucrats to be traumatically affected. When they wake up in the morning, we want them to not want to go to work because they are increasingly viewed as the villains. … We want to put them in trauma.” –Russell Vought, Trump’s director of OMB, speaking in 2023 Evil people.

Meta whistleblower Sarah Wynn-Williams says company targeted ads at teens based on their ’emotional state’

15 years ago the Supreme Court decided corporations are people under the First Amendment. Today, billionaire political spending is up 160-fold since that ruling. Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day.

I hate to be that guy, but this is the five-alarm fire, and every elected Democrat and frankly, every Washington reporter should be ringing the bell. If it can happen to him, it can happen to anyone. Nobody with a voice should give this administration a moment’s peace about it.

relatedly, if you’re surveying the political landscape 85 days into trump’s second term & pivoting from “the entire US government apparatus is using its full power to define trans people out of existence & eliminate their healthcare” into a pedantic linguistics debate AGAIN, you’ve lost the plot.

I'm a lawyer and this is correct. Straight line of "blatantly illegal constitutional end-runs to violate human rights" from Iran–Contra to Gitmo to CECOT paved by the only consequences the perpetrators suffering being more money, more power, and more prestige.

time to launch a full scale investigation

"bluesky needs more diversity of opinion" okay so post your diverse opinions bro

this being made immediately before gamergate reads like a blueprint for the hell future

I’m angry about many, many, aspects of Trumpism. And it’s not the top of my list, but I hate the amount of media (and mental) space occupied by absolute cranks, racists, and fools who have been promot because of their venality stupidity. If this is “meritocracy,” it is a meritocray of monsters.

What if there was an opposition party that just said "If you give us a majority in congress we'll remove these freaks and criminals from power"

After being told that the reason that previous administrations only found about $150 billion in “waste, fraud and abuse” was because they were manipulated by “the Deep State,” the “anti-Deep State” crew has managed to find… about the same amount as everyone before them.

Bryce Mitchell, who once declared he'd "take a bullet and die" for Donald Trump, was instead subdued and choked out on the UFC 314 canvas with the U.S.
