Maybe I should only post pet photos. Recent history has convinced me that getting riled up about stuff only wasted time.

But we need to keep talking about Biden!!!

I took a trans-Atlantic flight last week—am I in trouble

Doctors at the CDC say children should receive Covid vaccines. A disgraced ex-environmental lawyer who spent 20 years abusing heroin says they shouldn't. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.

I’m not saying this story is false but I am saying it is totally in the interest of the Trump White House to have a story out there suggesting that some universities are looking to acquiesce.

Absolutely correct

When we piece together facts, as @hcrichardson.bsky.social does for us in Letters from an American, we have a bird’s-eye view and from there we can make educated decisions. open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

When it comes to government propaganda, we haven’t seen anything yet.

Doesn't matter how many vulnerable people die as long as they get their tax cuts. More money for them, yay!

This is the Republican healthcare plan.

Interesting that the administration that claims to dislike it when refugees seek residency *illegally* is arresting refugees in *courts* when the seek immigration legally. MAGAs are just xenophobic white supremacist bigots.

Apparently states’ rights stop the moment women board a plane with autonomy in their carry-on.

Republicans believe life begins at conception and ends at birth

We are governed by a lunatic

The posters always write themselves.

It just confirms we are in the "post truth" age

Your vote for Trump at work

How The Legacy Media Handed The Presidency To Donald Trump And Blamed It On An Old Guy With Cancer

LEFTIST: Dude, you need to grow up and get a hobby. Start treating women like people and find a useful role in society. RIGHT WING INFLUENCER: You’re a pussy. You’re a beta cuck. You’re poor because of the soy in your blood. Suck my dick, simp. YOUNG MAN: the liberals have left me no choice

The Trump administration says there is “no attack on journalism” and any journalist that says so should go to prison.

I cannot shake the feeling of looming financial disaster, despite repeated reassurance to the contrary from @govdanmckee.bsky.social when pressed by @iandonnis.bsky.social on @ripbs-tpr.bsky.social: Medicaid, RIPTA, hospitals, bond ratings — among other things. thepublicsradio.org/politics/mck...

SCOOP: Less than 3 weeks before Trump pardoned Paul Walczak, his mother, Elizabeth Fago, attended a $1M/head fundraiser with Trump at Mar-a-Lago for MAGA Inc. Walczak's pardon application emphasized Fago's financial support for Trump, & her connection to a plot to publicize Ashley Biden's diary.

Trump admits he's been helping Russia

I see we’re in the “How to Placate” stage of free-market capitalism. 🤡 @nytimes.com $AAPL www.nytimes.com/section/busi...

The great @suzannevega.bsky.social releases “Luka” as a single this weekend in 1987. Upon hearing it, Prince (whom she never met) sent a letter. “‘Luka’ is the most compelling piece of music I’ve heard in a long time,” he wrote. “There are no words 2 tell you all the things I feel when I hear it.”

“Without widespread theft, my industry can’t survive” is an argument against your industry surviving, and is not an argument for allowing widespread theft

I believe that everyone should be allowed the space and time and opportunity to become who they truly are. I am sad that some people, given the space and time and opportunity, choose to be assholes.

The Memorial Day Message from the President of the United States of America, in memory of those who have given their lives defending America, the Constitution, and the freedoms that we Americans enjoy on this Memorial Day 2025.

This #MemorialDay, we pause to honor the brave men and women who selflessly made the ultimate sacrifice for all our freedom. Let’s commit to be worthy of the heroic actions too many have made for those freedoms we take for granted.

PRO TIP: Next time you murder someone, be like Trump and do it “out in the open.”

Now show the percentage of rulings he complied with.

Meanwhile, Trump is issuing executive orders to promote coal.

One of the great under-reported stories of Trump’s ignorance (insanity?) is that for years he has made repeated comments about stealth fighters which suggest he believes they are literally invisible in the sky. His weirdness cannot be overstated.

Mussolini’s Italy expelled university professors who opposed fascism. Franco’s Spain replaced university academics with regime loyalists Nazi Germany removed Jewish professors & left-leaning scholars. Academia is a threat to unified ideology. It’s why fascist regimes always target it.

The replies to this are full of people yelling at Kat, a Palestinian-American politician, for not supporting the shooting of low-level staffers in DC, which has only had the effect of drawing coverage *away* from the genocide in Gaza & provided a pretext for future suppression of peaceful protests.

Good time to remember: The last time Trump was president, he ran up more than 25% of ALL the debt in the entire history of America $7.8 TRILLION DOLLARS And he’s about to do it again — so he and his billionaire friends, Musk and Bezos and Zuckerberg, can get tax cuts

This gets the story wrong on a fundamental level because it assumes DOGE was about what Musk claimed. DOGE was about stealing data, getting Musk contracts, shutting down investigations and regulations of Musk’s companies, and terrorizing federal workers. On that front, it succeeded.
