"What blows my mind is our resignation in the aftermath of this nonsense" Jon Stewart on the Minnesota murders

Miso has his own elevator to get back in apartment 🐱

🚨🚨 My new paper, "The (non) effect of tariffs on manufacturing employment" is hot off the presses. A 🧵 Link: www.aei.org/wp-content/u... #econsky

The man has access to the best intelligence in the world, but he doesn't want to listen to his Director of National Intelligence or anyone who says anything he doesn't like, and he refuses to receive the Presidential Daily Briefing. Great job, MAGA.

They’re not prioritizing "violent criminals." That was just another lie! Trump and his Gestapo thugs are abducting good people at their jobs, luring them into traps w/ fake "check-ins" and even kidnapping 🇺🇸 CITIZENS! This is FASCISM, and you - or one of your kids - could be next! #MAGAKidnappers

🚨🚨The White House is pissed off about this ad so you know what to do, share it everywhere! ICE is disappearing people just because of the color of their skin! No Warrant! No Due Process! This is not who we are as Americans! #MAGAKidnappers want an all white America, fuck that‼️

An absolutely riveting piece by @guitarwatson.bsky.social. “I have only two words,” he said. “Never again.” www.democracydocket.com/opinion/a-ho...

Trump won’t even bring his Intelligence Director to intelligence meetings. He doesn't even trust his own decisions, neither should you.

The White House lashed out at the creators of this ad for "fear-mongering". It must have really struck a nerve. Maybe they don't like being outed as fascists. You know what to do: SPREAD THIS EVERYWHERE! #MAGAKidnappers

This is true. I've been demonized by my whole family since chronic illness showed the smallest signs. Currently living alone by choice because I do not trust anyone not to turn on me when the Multiple Schlerosis flares up when it gets stressful. Drug addict, hypochondriac, Drama Queen, lazy, etc

Lots of feelings today. A brutal day for trans people and those who love them. There are whole swaths of the country, filled with families facing impossible choices.

Especially, fuck SCOTUS 🖕🏼

Cast your mind back to the days of Freedom Fries, Colin Powell's vial and the Dixie Chicks. All so very stupid.

Asked about Trump "lobbing insults" at him, Powell indicates it doesn't matter to him

More backlash. Not all NIH staff notified yet.

This is a good example of the law being fake and meaningless.

#ProudBlue Wth? How is this even possible? We are in deep trouble. The Army isn’t the Army anymore. This is extremely concerning.

Steve Carell gave Northwestern U. grads a commencement address to remember...

The mother of Adrian Andrew Martinez is pleading for answers as her son remains unaccounted for nearly 24 hours later. ICE kidnapped Adrian yesterday while he was on break in the Walmart parking lot in Pico Rivera. FREE ADRIAN!

CLARIFICATION : The Trevor Project's hotline will still be live. But basically this means LGBTQ people can no longer be connected to it through the US national 988 suicide prevention hotline. They will need to be contacted DIRECTLY So spread this around They can be texted. They can be called.

For those screaming that the people of Iran should just overthrow their government, ask yourselves why we can’t do that against our own ruthless religious extremist regime right here in America.

Mainly came back to herald warnings for LA on Thursday. This is all very messed up. Police are meant to protect citizens. Military are meant for protecting the State. Please, DO NOT provoke the Marines. Be peaceful. These are young, jumpy soldiers that have no experience in this kind of fascism.

Nearly 5 years later and my jaw is still on the floor from how beautiful Ghost of Tsushima looks

Over 70% of Kern Medical's funding comes from Medicaid. If this big horrible bill passes, hospital will close and people will die. David Valadao doesn't care about his constituents. - Todd Carey

We are now closer to WWIII than we were when Donald took office. Can I get a #slowclap for the guy who ran as a peacemaker?

What the actual fvck? This is our disgusting president. Making jokes about “illegals” installing his stupid flag poles (for Banner of Heaven flags?) and, again, saying immigrants working in the ag and hospitality sectors should be left alone. (Miller, are you aware?) There’s also more nonsense.

"Just asking questions..."

Running two online RfP sessions this term, Monday 23rd June at 3:45pm and Sunday 6th July at 7:00pm. Will be talking about how children choose books, reading identities, peer recommendations and as many other things as I can squeeze in. More here: www.eventbrite.co.uk/o/jon-biddle...

This will be the only way. The midterms are do or die.

Each June, local Indigenous residents rebuild the last Incan rope bridge in Peru. It not just a task, but an ancestral ceremony. Resisting the passage of time by preserving their history and their culture. Latest episode #StoriesOfResistance @undertheshadow.bsky.social @globalexchange.bsky.social

I totally played Elden ring.

Powell just spoke about cutbacks at federal statistical agencies and how that could affect Fed's ability to do its job

Who knew?

As our administration hates my Trans Fam and Frens, I’m putting this out there for y’all to share and use. They are legit.

Faceless government goon arrests public official for refusing to hand over a vulnerable person without a warrant. Guess the country.

woke up in a new world... a world without America as the leader of the free world... a world with an American government that showed it doesn't care about decency or truth... that prefers dictators to allies... and that is remaking the US into an autocratic state devoid of freedom and security...🧐

Don’t you just love Pussy Riot? ❤️ www.rollingstone.com/culture/cult...

Fuck Dr Oz. Y’all keep picking on the poorest of us and I’m starting to take it personally.

I signed the final bills Melissa Hortman shepherded through the most narrowly divided legislature in the county. All of them bipartisan. We debated, we found common ground, and we compromised. That’s how democracy should function.

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x convicted felon & adjudicated rapist Trump did.

Irish MP has strong words for Netanyahu. The world must find its humanity and unite against these atrocities.

Padilla: I was forced to the ground, first on my knees and then flat on my chest. And as I was handcuffed and marched down a hallway repeatedly asking, why am I being detained? Not once did they tell me why. I pray you never have a moment like this

“The best way to honor our parents' memory is to do something, whether big or small, to make our community just a little better for someone else." Beautiful statement from Sophie and Colin Hortman.
