Gaza medic deaths just the latest in Israel’s long history of changing its story over civilian killings www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

BREAKING: 36k people showed up in LA for Bernie and AOC’s rally. In the off year. Americans are pissed — and anyone ignoring that is making a big mistake.

"I didn't vote for this. Nobody could have seen it coming."

The stock portfolios of more than two dozen members of Congress outperformed the market in 2024. This isn't due to luck or skill. Lawmakers can use privileged information to trade stocks while they’re supposed to be working for you. Make no mistake, it’s legalized corruption.

For fathers in search of friendship, a growing group has emerged: the Brooklyn Stroll Club. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/12/s...

Majority of attempts to ban books in US come from organised groups, not parents www.theguardian.com/books/2025/a...

Gaza City hospital hit, civil defence officials say, as Israel intensifies military operations

Killer sign. A+++ sign

my new argument against uber with everything going on is simply going to be “why are you giving your money to a US multinational when you could be using a local taxi service?”

I hate to say this, and it gives me the chills just to think it, but CECOT is on (and not a short way down) the road to Auschwitz.

Here's the reality: they've backed themselves into a corner. If they bring him home there will be hell to pay. It's clear that they believe that the lesser hell is not bringing him home. So we need to make that hell the worse hell. Start calling and screaming at all of your representatives now! 1/2

Sure. Tell Grandma to just head on over to X to sign up for her benefits.

It doesn't have to be like this. We could have a city that isn't bleeding low income and middle income people of color. We could have a city where corruption isn't coin. We could have a city with funded parks, public libraries, public schools and FREE TRANSIT. All of these things are possible.

WELCOME TO THE HALL OF SHAME MIKE JOHNSON Congressman Mike Johnson of Louisiana voted to cut Medicaid.

ErinReed [Apr 10] -- In deep blue MA House Dems water down but pass anti-trans sports bill -- a first passage in any blue state legislature. Even in red Montana every Dem voted against a recent sports bill. Definitely a warning light flashing. @rikiwilchins.bsky.social

RIP Kurt Vonnegut. Gone 18 yrs. Dang.

A funny one from this morning's misty sunrise on Glastonbury Tor. At first glance it looks like someone diving over the sun into the mist below. It is actually a bird heading straight for me and yes I did duck although I am sure it would have missed me. 😂

Not a single word to help the 33m small businesses in this country. Not from anyone in the administration. So many buy from China, and don't have alternatives. So many didn't have the cash to front run the tariffs and buy inventory

I think the other thing that people don't know is that publishing is not one thing. There are many different kinds of publishers and many different kinds of publishing arrangements. Many people concentrate on traditional publishing and that's fine. But that's not the only way to be published.

An innocent man, picked up by “mistake,” must not be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail. Mr. President. Obey the courts. Obey our Constitution. Bring him home immediately.

Evangelicals- your savior-president just got his gimp Mike Johnson to cut medical care that will hurt children. Fuck all of you.

Midshipmen at the U.S. Naval Academy can check out copies of “Mein Kampf” by Adolf Hitler but not “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings” by Maya Angelou. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/11/u...

I like how America is like a Scared Straight program for other countries around the world considering fascism

Been thinking of old Letterman clips for some reason.

Hope this helps.

Friends, Romans, cunts, it is with a heavy heart that we must show you another horrid old-timey patent. The only thing this gizmo has going for it is it would be a great name for a punk band. Meet the Rectal Dynamo, patented by James B Wagoner in 1912.

“On February 24, Steven Donovan, 47, arrived at an apartment complex in Orlando carrying a gun while demanding entry. The man claimed he was conducting an immigration investigation and wanted to ensure there were “no Mexicans staying illegally” at the property, according to authorities.”

More than 900 #measles cases Canada. -CBC Radio

Autism didn’t make them do it. Mental illness didn’t, either. This personal piece from The Big Picture cuts through the excuses and names the real issue: some people are just hateful, and we need to stop giving them cover.
