Oh yeah nice one kid hook that hope for humanity right into my veins

BILL GATES: “The picture of the world’s richest man killing the world’s poorest children is not a pretty one.” @financialtimes.com www.ft.com/content/bdd9...

“So far, the most energetic opposition has come not from civic leaders but from everyday citizens, showing up at Congressional town hall meetings or participating in Hands Off rallies across the country. “Our leaders must follow their example.” Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/05/08/o...

MERKLEY: Are you gonna launch an investigation of the reported violation of the due process of several hundred people? P: It is not for me to call the balls & strikes M: You haven't read the Constitution? It says 'all persons'...it concerns me you're not familiar w/the core concept of due process

It's tough to refer to someone as a criminal if you've given them no due process to determine whether they're a criminal. Like if you get arrested and get a trial and are convicted of 34 felony counts. That's due process. You can call that guy a criminal.

Happy Tom-Holland-Performing-Umbrella Day to all who celebrate! [I most certainly do]

eight years ago today we all watched the glory of zendaya falling madly in love with tom holland and the internet was never the same

CBS on the cardinals: "One thing we know they're not doing is checking Instagram because their devices have all been confiscated. I believe the kids call it rawdogging."

“the moment when the regime begins to really earn money is also often the moment when they really feel the need to crack down on civil liberties." - @anneapplebaum.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/podcasts/arc...

Sounds about white. www.inquirer.com/crime/nj-wil...

In an absolutely devastating ruling, the Supreme Court has allowed the transgender military ban to go into effect. This is shocking - the ban explicitly called transgender people dishonorable for being transgender. It is as clear as day soaked in animus. www.supremecourt.gov/docket/docke...

also you all need to see this, because this is something I don't think *anybody* could predict for where this ad goes

Take your time with this one…

The Baltimore Banner just won a Pulitzer Prize.

Hey, is life imprisonment with no chance of parole a normal sentence for crossing the border illegally or

Best strange advice I’ve ever gotten: If you catch yourself having negative thoughts about yourself, start hearing them in Trump’s voice. You’ll immediately begin defending yourself.

RFK Jr. went on Fox News and lied through his teeth. He said they weren’t cutting critical research. Terminated grants so far have included studies on cancer, Alzheimer’s, HIV, and tuberculosis. Ohio researchers lost funding for kidney disease and TB projects. This guy doesn’t care about health.

In space, Venus flanks Earth on the left, with a hellfire greenhouse effect. Mars on the right, which long ago had running water. Today, it's bone dry. Something bad happened on each planet. Seems like the wrong time to limit the Nation’s capacity to conduct climate research.

When the President of the United States says he doesn’t know if he should uphold the Constitution, it should be a searing red line for every American. If you let him ignore ANY aspect of the Constitution you embolden him to ignore more of it, including the parts that secure YOUR freedoms & rights.

Here are the good guy, pass through PBMs that @costplusdrugs.com has partnered with. Talk to a couple of them before youe company makes any decisions on their pharmacy benefits.

A reminder: Both sheriffs and local police have the right to refuse ICE detainers. These requests are voluntary and not legally enforceable under federal law. Across the country, many sheriffs and police departments choose not to cooperate and that choice is fully within their legal rights.

Wow crazy you guys must be giving her a big raise, right?

People tend to dismiss VP Pence’s actions on J6: he was just doing his job, why should he get any credit for simply sticking to the letter of the law? But if it was so easy to do, why was he one of the very few in his party to do it? apnews.com/article/penc...

Me when moving: they gotta put books in a different configuration Me any other time: The Written Word: how eBooks disconnect us from intended meaning

Jasmine Crockett isn't being quiet about it—when it's time to elect the next House Oversight Committee ranking member, she wants the job. And she’s earned it. Let's back up @repjasmine.bsky.social . We need her voice in leadership—ASAP!

Inspiring celebration of David Attenborough from Kate Winslet and many others - and a much-needed reminder to stand with science www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

Friggin wow! Never heard a better laid argument

Misogyny is terrorism & should be globally classified as such & misogynists should be classified as terrorists.

Baltimore's 25th annual Kinetic Sculpture Race. City living has its advantages

An Ohio man drove his car into a sheriff’s deputy, killing him in what the authorities said appeared to be an intentional act that happened the day after the driver’s 18-year-old son had been shot and killed by the Cincinnati police.

It's important to know that when tech bros say they are "data driven" what they mean by "data" is their own experience and the assumptions. This is why you regularly hear things like "UBI will destroy society" and "if you give away housing no one will work" despite all studies showing the contrary.

Don't ever let these things happen in secret. Raise your voices as much as you can.

Australia told their far right Trumpees to get lost last night. Ran them completely out of town, just like Canada. A wave of rejection is starting for these guys all around the world — America’s next.

Not all heroes wear capes.

This is one of the best ads I have ever seen and I can’t believe I missed it

Just say it.

Mitch McConnell is retiring after 40 years of working hard to make Kentucky one of the poorest, most under-educated, and unhealthy states in the US.

Charlie Kirk says there is a "gray area" when consent is removed. By law, you CANNOT consent if you are intoxicated.

To all those who said boycotting Target was a waste of time. It wasn't. Keep it up, y'all!
