The pivot now is that AES “talked down” to Tommy. Anyone who understands America knows that is code for AES being “uppity” to a White person. He’s supposed to endure disrespect and gotchas and never complain. At baseline, asserting your humanity with self respect will always be read as offensive

Think about how little your representatives have said or done to defend their colleague Ilhan Omar. Now try to imagine how little they will do when it's our turn.

Please pass this on…

hegseth out here talking about "no fatties" in the military when the commander-in-chief looks like this:

The “Cornell 7” framing rubs me the same way described in this thread. We usually use that language for people falsely accused of crimes. Personally, I’ll be going back to “the Cornell gang rapists.”

BREAKING: Republican attorneys general from Louisiana, Alabama, and Arkansas have filed two sweeping lawsuits targeting dozens of providers who ship abortion pills—and the blue states that protect them.

A pending federal proposal would roll back the Roadless Area Conservation Rule, which prevents road construction and timber harvesting on millions of acres of federal forest land, including in the Shawnee National Forest. Kate McCann reports. buff.ly/JWsmIuL

Important: the USPS rule that SCOTUS blocked tonight was Trump’s big plan to control and restrict mail voting. But a separate policy remains in place: USPS is no longer postmarking mail as soon it gets it, which is hugely important for deadlines. So people must mail back with plenty of time.

Astrophotographer Adam (AJ) Smadi caught this image a few hours ago from Washington state. A thin crescent Moon, sunlight illuminating the rugged lunar surface. And 2,400 times farther away—and on the other side of the Sun—mighty Jupiter, and its moons Io (left) and Ganymede (right).

This was predictable, but the Trump administration is now frantically recalling 30,000 lbs. of foreign beef they brought into the country. Here’s an idea — maybe we just buy from American ranchers for a while.

Goodnight humans. Be kind to all 🌊🌊

it’s so funny that as we’re drowning in fakery, photos of Spider-Man going after a nazi are the real thing sometimes you just have to pause and appreciate the absurdity of the universe

Don't know why Trump needs a personal lawyer in the DOJ, he already has one in SCOTUS.

@meidastouch.com Thank you for bringing attention to what’s happening in NW Indiana. My parents in the area hit by an EF-1 tornado. It’s been awful. American people are suffering with very little help from local & state officials. The federal response has been a joke to say the least.

NEW: Teen boys are using smart glasses — mainly Meta's AI Glasses — to film themselves harassing classmates at school, following girls around and "rizzing" them or "ragebaiting" them w/ insults. In several videos we reviewed, girls plead w/ the poster to stop filming. futurism.com/artificial-i...

I just wanted everyone to know that I'm in the other bed in Mitch McConnell's hospital room. He helped me finish a very difficult Sudoku puzzle.

Hey! Do you like libraries? My family loves the library. Did you know library funding will be impacted by the new OMB rule proposal? Ok so go leave your public comment and tell Vought and Trump to get their greedy hands off our libraries! fight2win.standupforscience.net

Not sure if the comments will be considered, but still worth trying.

The man who told you that a woman is too emotional to be president is out here crashing out on national TV because a reporter asked him for evidence.
