But I was led to believe the only successful path left-identified politicians had in attaining a presidency was to launch a podcast cozying up to quacks?

this is perfect

You don’t have stories like this in countries with national healthcare systems

idg this why are they obeying vampire logic

Nazi shit

Ffs. This is… chilling. I couldn’t imagine ever feeling this way about other humans.

Some of the most chilling 2 minutes you've ever seen. Look at what's being said, openly, on one of the most popular TV channels in Israel. History is happening in front of our eyes. Don't look away. Please help share this widely. Read the full story here: zeteo.com/p/inside-the...

i am simply floored to learn this about a guy who held a nazi rally at madison square garden eight months ago

Hearing Kate Nash calling out the co-option of feminism by a loud transphobic minority, in a field full of people, backed by the London Philharmonic orchestra, at Mighty Hoopla last night was just 👌

Kate Nash really is an ally, damn.

A female Western Gull was recorded riding 150km in a garbage truck from San Francisco to a compost facility in Central CA, probably to forage. TWICE. An innovator, an icon, a genius. This is one of my favorite @waterbirdsociety.bsky.social papers I've ever handled as managing editor #ornithology

"At about 15 minutes past the hour every hour all afternoon, teams of agents, many of them masked, left the building escorting four people, each in handcuffs, into parked SUVs that then quickly zipped across the street to the garage of 26 Federal Plaza, where ICE has its local field office."

San Diego neighborhood makes ICE agents retreat

Dems being spineless in the face of fascism is very on brand for them

Cuts have consequences, illustrated. As seen on TV 📺

This is a profile in courage. Kudos to meteorologist @johnmoralestv.bsky.social, producers, and the general manager at NBC 6 in South Florida for airing this. It takes real cojones to speak truth to power. It's worth the ~3 minutes.

In Greek mythology, Narcissus fell in love with his own reflection in a pool of water.

"The hallways...were absolutely lined with ICE agents. And immigrants were scared to leave, even though their cases were still open. What happened was that ICE agents then stormed into the courtroom, kicked out the attorneys, and detained everyone in the courtroom over the judge's objections."

So this 2024 piece is trending today: Some electric car brands are hemorrhaging value, with the worst losing as much as $600 a day. In this investigation, WIRED outlines which models to watch, why this is happening, and how you can game the market to your advantage.

there's a transcript of Greg's interview with Ming Li (Carol), too, for folks who would rather read newrepublic.com/article/1959...

*US MAY ISM MANUFACTURING INDEX FALLS TO 48.5; EST. 49.5 *US ISM MANUFACTURING IMPORTS AT 39.9, LOWEST SINCE 2009 *US ISM EXPORT ORDERS FALL TO FIVE-YEAR LOW OF 40.1

“This bill will cause the biggest loss of health care in American history all to fund tax cuts for billionaires.” As @mollyjongfast.bsky.social explains, the House bill punishes the people who put Trump in office—including SNAP benefits for 3M Americans and more than 1 in 4 kids in NM, LA, and WV.

“That study was swapped out with a new “systematic overview” authored by psychologist Pim Cuijpers, who told NOTUS via email that MAHA’s new citation is also wrong."

wonderful to see so many companies celebrating pride month this year

"This place has always been under the silent protection of The Powerplant. Sometimes, through the buzz of life nourished by the gentle airs, one can even hear the whispering of these clouds you can almost touch." — 🖼️ The Powerplant Personal #art, old fave. Prints: ko-fi.com/s/c2d60a42b9

✊ Today, we’re rallying around the corner from the immigration court where ICE most recently kidnapped NYers to call on legislators to pass legislation that will prohibit state & local agencies from colluding w/ ICE. The New York for All Act would give our communities the protections they deserve!

Heaven help us all

zionist politicians love being like “i endorse committing war crimes and assassinating american citizens ❤️”

As South Korea heads toward a snap presidential election on June 3, the far right is following the Trump playbook (and aesthetic).

This will continue to accelerate until we resist. No warrants. No due process. timesofsandiego.com/crime/2025/0...

let’s celebrate pride!! ❤️🥳 if you see this, qrp with queer art! 🌈🎨

"'It’s a total shit show,' one agency staffer told Important Context, explaining that Bhattacharya seemed unaware of how NIH operated when he arrived. They said he had been promising reforms that were already part of the agency’s work."

what?? huh?? oh you want me to draw something different?!? can't sorry #FE3H

the ghouls dismantling HIV research, medicaid, etc. aren't "out of touch," they're gloating because they're sadists who believe they will never face any consequences and have nothing but contempt for all human beings but themselves

On the eve of Asian heritage month transitioning into Pride month is when the S.I.R. girlies are at their most powerful. You too can own a fraction of this power by buying the book!! Did I mention there's a bonus short story in there exclusive to the TPB 👀

The ET Atari cartridges were disposed of with more dignity than this
