🕯 🕯 🕯 🕯 literally any 🕯 good news 🕯 🕯 🕯 🕯 🕯

Oh man this could be some proper great entertainment.

Incredible reporting here. DOGE engineers may have stolen a bunch of sensitive NLRB data; the agency whistleblower then received what I can only describe as a mafia-style threat.

If you're going to watch Murderbot on Apple TV, consider adding it to your watchlist. It's kind of like pre-ordering a book, it tells the streaming service that you're there for our show. Link for US viewers: tv.apple.com/us/show/murd... (You can also search for it on the app.)

I do wonder how much of Gavin Newsom’s recent right-wing pivot was concern over Trump literally throwing him in jail.

Let's be clear: you knowingly work with a transphobic piece of shit, you are a transphobic piece of shit. With the wealth of information available, there is absolutely no room for any of these actors to feign ignorance and we should not let any of them forget their cupidity for as long as they live.

The SAVE Act is just a part of Republican attacks on elections — Republicans across the country have introduced 2,000 voter suppression/election denial bills so far this year. My report at @rollingstone.com and @americandoom.bsky.social: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Perry Greene, the congresswoman’s ex-husband, just had to pay $75k to three Muslim women he harassed and verbally attacked from his Tesla Cybertruck. He also had to publicly apologize to them and attend a sermon at their mosque as part of the settlement. www.fox5atlanta.com/news/settlem...

the flag of palestine itself is now antisemitic? well that's...not great.

When I was a kid, my mom would say that certain kinds of Chinese food were “not authentic” for various reasons (usually the vegetables not being cut thin enough, but other things, too).

On the anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, we thought we'd answer a question that's often asked, "If they raised the Mary Rose, why not raise the Titanic?" Allow our scaled diagram to explain...

I cannot convey enough how grateful I am to the millions of you all supporting us with your time, resources, and energy. Your support has allowed us to rally people together at record scale to organize their communities. All with an average donation of $21. THANK YOU & Pa’lante 🙏🏽♥️

Oh dear you’re going to want to read this. Looks like DOGErs were caught exfiltrating NLRB data, likely on unions, for private (seemingly Elony) use. This is must read. What we’ve all suspected. But now details. www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...

"After nearly five hours, he and his wife were released. They are now pursuing legal action. "It's not about the immigrants," his sister, told NBC10 Boston. "It's coming to us Americans, and it's going to go after all of us." www.nbcboston.com/news/politic...

Authoritarian states happen step by step, then all at once. But you couldn't get to this point from a healthy, functional state. Black folks, Indigenous people, etc have been trying to tell you **based on our lived experience** that "regular" US politics & overt fascism are siblings, maybe twins.

In the early 19th century the Supreme Court ordered Andrew Jackson to stop with the relocations. He said "John Marshall has made his decision; now let him enforce it!" and that's how the Trail of Tears happened. 10 years and thousands of dead in an ethnic cleansing of the east coast.

Gonna give David's email address to the fast food industry lobbyists next time I see them and tell them it's a good venue for leaking letters.

Once again, we institute BIRD PROTOCOL. Take a bird, leave a bird. Bird. (photo by me) (also reminder: when you post photos, use alt-text, please and thank you)

Leafwatch Day 3! The unfurling has begun in earnest. Light patterning is visible, if barely.

It is very funny that NYT let noted trade columnist Paul Krugman walk like six months ago or whatever because he wanted to produce too much trade content for their taste

Jon Stewart on Trump’s refusal to return Kilmar Abrego Garcia from El Salvador

Stimulants slow my brain down enough so I can speak to you at a rate that is feasible to comprehend, otherwise i skip 26 steps ahead and you want to murder me. Anyone who thinks stimulants are uppers for most ADHD people haven't done the homework.

doing evil things because someone told you to do them does in fact make you evil. if you need to tell someone you're not evil but are just following orders, you need to not follow the orders. this is pretty straightforward.

I don’t think a better headline could have been written about what happened yesterday. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

I still think "kidnapped and sold into slavery" is maybe the best formulation.

I know everyone knows but damn this chart goes so hard

lol at Matt Yglesias forgetting to switch to his sock puppet account

Everything is bad but birds are good so time to reinstitute BIRD PROTOCOL where a bird is deployed to offset endless evil vibes, please enjoy, birds are good, okay bye (photo by me)

Martin O'Malley just mentioned state attorneys general filing state kidnapping charges. Just imagine the collective cheer in this country if state troopers pulled over, arrested and cuffed a van full of masked ICE fascists.

12 Dem Senators and 48 Dem House members voted for the Laken Riley Act—allowing US Govt to deport immigrants on the mere accusation of a crime. As you see those 60 Dems complain about Mahmoud Khalil, Rumeysa Ozturk, or Kilmar Abrego Garcia, among many more—please know they enabled this fascism.

Today was a real rough one. We all deserve a little aww squee. 🪶🐣
