When Grammy-winning musician Rhiannon Giddens begins playing “Old Corn Liquor,” a traditional Black American folk tune, acclaimed Chinese pipa virtuoso Wu Man recognizes similarities to Chinese pentatonic music and spontaneously joins in. The joy on their faces says it all.

The empathetic folks at Mar-a-Lago react to hearing you lost your healthcare, your child has measles, and you can't afford to gas up your truck:

Trembling RFK Jr. Tells Dominatrix To Use Processed Foods On His Balls https://theonion.com/trembling-rfk-jr-tells-dominatrix-to-use-processed-foods-on-his-balls/

The president of the United States is a rapist.

Donald Trump wants 'fighting communism' to be the GOP's midterms theme. The man is seizing the central bank, nationalizing industry, and printing money with his face on it. I worked for him. The guy IS the communist threat.

Whenever you read a hot take from Politico that casts Dems in an unflattering light, remind yourself that the owner asked the executives to pray for Donald Trump’s reelection. It’s propaganda.

me at kickoff of every world cup game: oh this is nice to put on in the background, maybe the team with cool jerseys will win me 90 minutes later, literally every time:

Celebrate Bloomsday today by exploring James Joyce’s world with our online exhibition ‘Dubliners: The Photographs of JJ Clarke’. This photographic series is a unique record of life in Dublin, Ireland, at the turn of the last century. https://ow.ly/rKVK50YOpeG

You can become disabled in an instant. People think those of us who are sick did “something” to deserve it. We didn’t. The just world fallacy is a lie. It just takes one illness, accident or stroke of bad luck to forever change your life. Disability is not a moral failing.

This is coming from a place of warmth and acceptance… -It’s ‘sleight of hand’ -It’s ‘bated breath’ -It’s ‘lo and behold’ -It’s ‘one fell swoop’ -It’s ‘brass tacks’ -It’s ‘free rein’

The GOP’s priorities are insanely off. Sen. Kim is right: Spread the word. Then let's kick these feckless cowards out of office.

The real heroes of the Epstein story

And here's a great starter pack of journalists and outlets that DON'T use "A.i."! Vastly less likely than other outlets to peddle mistakes and bullshit! go.bsky.app/8cn1XfT

If Pamela Jo Bondi won't disseminate evidence of Donald Trump's horrible crimes, we can. Below is the declaration of one of his victims. She alleges that when she was 13 years old, Trump repeatedly raped and beat her. Trump also threatened her and her family with death if she told anyone.

They still haven’t released all the Epstein files. Nearly 3 million have been withheld

Well played, Lush.

Survivors and a pedophile defender #epstein

The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.

This has always been a Bluesky-first campaign. But as of today, we will no longer be using Twitter. At all. And I'm calling on other candidates to follow suit.

I was part of the internal Trump administration team trying to convince the president to end the shutdown in 2018 - 2019 — for 35 days — before people went hungry, workers lost pay, and government services collapsed. Here’s what I learned: he doesn’t give a shit.

TOMORROW is #NO_KINGS_DAY!!! Give me your Tired, your Poor, your Huddled Masses of Frogs, Unicorns, Pandas, T-Rexes, Mushrooms, Sharks, SpongeBobs & everyday Folks yearning to peacefully protest a clownishly incompetent buffoon of a Prez who, if there were any justice, would be in jail. 🤡 #BeThere

If you’re going to a #NoKingsRally then bring an American flag Wave it wide and high.

Have a rapture day.

Decrying violence against political opponents rings a bit hollow when you pull Secret Service protection from your political opponents.

Last week, Boston received a letter from AG Bondi threatening to prosecute officials and withhold funds unless we cooperate with carrying out mass deportations. The US Attorney General asked for a response by today, so here it is: stop attacking our cities to hide your administration’s failures.

In Upstate New York, we made the punchcards that turned the dream of Social Security into reality. I'll be damned if we're going to let extremists in Washington tear that dream away now. I'm proud to stand with @schumer.senate.gov and Broome County seniors to fight for every penny they're owed.

Hey Instagram, maybe give @britannica.com their checkmark. I’ve heard the references look out for their own and you don’t want to find yourself in verbal fisticuffs with @merriam-webster.com

Women’s healthcare decisions are women’s healthcare decisions, full stop. Ulster County is proudly leading the fight to protect reproductive freedom. www.newyorkupstate.com/hudson-valle...

Jessica Ramos basically admitted to Brian Lehrer that she thinks Trump will punish and single out NYC if Mamdani wins and that's her justification for backing Cuomo First off, STOP MAKING DECISIONS BASED ON FEAR. Second, stop giving that man more power by rewarding his racism with cowardice. FFS

No need to fear. We are marching in large numbers on June 14th. Know your 1st Amendment rights. Know how to make a statement instead of providing fodder for Trump propaganda. Please stay off Federal properties. Please don’t engage police or military. Let’s be loud yet peaceful #NoKings

If your response to this video is, “That’s what I voted for”— Fuck you. Fuck you very much. You’re heartless.

From The Archives: Trump Locks Bathroom Door So Elon Musk Can’t Follow Him In theonion.com/trump-l...

I don’t give a shit about Elon…Or Trump. Fund education and health care and social security and feed kids and demand union wages and job protections and lower house and grocery prices. The oligarchs can box it out and black each other’s eyes for all I care.
