German police scuffled with protesters as the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) held its national convention in Erfurt. The event drew added controversy by coinciding with the 100th anniversary of a Nazi Party meeting nearby, a link the AfD rejects.

I'll summarize this: Mamdani asked NYers to keep air conditioning at 78 degrees. A wave criticism hit online. A MSNBC broadcast pointed out the US Department of Energy recommends that 78 degree figure. Immediately after, the US Department of Energy deleted 6,000 web pages related to energy saving.

I actually don’t care what the founding fathers would say about the present and I don’t think you should either

Listened to an NPR story this morning about mass child starvation in Senegal without a single mention of Elon Musk, the guy who gleefully created the conditions for the mass starvation

Preemptive post:

Khanna: "This is a Dred Scott court. They have engaged in the fastest rollback of Black political rights since Rutherford Hayes ended Reconstruction in 1877. One-third of African American seats are threatened. We are not speaking up strongly enough against a court that's rolling back civil rights"

again, this is literally black-letter constitutional text in virginia. this is an inalienable power that supercedes any formal amendment process. the court went beyond its jurisdiction when it attempted to overturn the referendum.

Virginia Dems asked for permission instead of forgiveness. A mistake, IMHO.

Thanks, Supreme Court. You're waking up the majority and radicalizing us. You're becoming more illegitimate by the day. Bring it.

Well, colour me surprised...

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

New York subway rule: dogs can only travel if they go "in a bag." New Yorkers took it very seriously... and became incredibly creative. 🐶

The U.S. government, from the president on down, is loudly signaling “we really don’t want more major combat, you should capitulate now.” That’s likely received by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps as “we don’t have the stomach for this and desperately want out, hold firm and you’ll succeed.”

The president of the United States, folks.

It’s May Day. A time to recognize that we work far too much for far too little. That we get only that which we demand. That we keep only that which we tirelessly defend. Solidarity forever.

If you were horrified watching elected leaders run & scramble because of gun violence, just imagine how my daughter Jaime felt in school running from an active shooter before she was killed. Now, become a part of the solution & only vote for people determined to address gun violence in America.

Normal people have absolutely had enough and they are starting to cook lmao

The AI Industry Is Discovering That the Public Hates It newrepublic.com/article/2091... via @newrepublic.com

Journalists who are still attending the WHCD this year don't seem to get just how much things have changed. It isn't 1998. You're not going to pose for cute photos with the West Wing stars at "nerd prom." You're enabling a regime who's assaulting your own profession & you're torching your career.

This photo should be on the front page of every single newspaper in America today.

Trump told you he’d run America like a business. He is. It’s called asset stripping. You sell the profitable pieces, gut the workforce, load it with debt, and walk away rich while everyone else holds the bag. Congratulations. You didn’t elect a president. You hired a liquidator.

Wonder what the president will make worse today.

"So that’s what I’m trying to achieve, to let 1,000 Zohrans bloom.” Hasan Piker to Prem Thakker for Prem's big Zeteo profile of Piker. zeteo.com/p/hasan-pike...

an average of just under 35 percent approval. oof.

Well done Spain. "The new plan, worth €7 billion, triples government investment in public housing over the next four years. It ensures that subsidised housing cannot be reclassified after a few years. It also includes help for young renters and home buyers" www.euronews.com/business/202...

every conservative political complaint comes back to "those people shouldn't count because they disagree with me"

The right gambled, tried to rig the election, lost, and now it’s excuses and tears. Thanks for everything, Virginia. 🙏🏽

Starting a mid-decade redistricting war only to end up with -1 seats is the same fine strategic genius and subtle grasp of game theory that brough us the Strait of Hormuz.

It’s finally happened. After 18 months. Finally, a media merger you can root for.

Emails released on Monday by California’s attorney general show Amazon allegedly colluding with other companies to raise the prices of pet treats, khaki pants, eyedrops and other products sold online

What it sounds like when one cult meets another cult

Zionists calling Jews Antisemitic, because they speak out against Israel’s GENOCIDES are the biggest FUCKING CLOWNS on the PLANET.

Tesla paid $1 billion in taxes to China & $0 in federal income taxes to the US. At least 88 highly profitable corporations paid $0 federal income tax last year while bringing in $ billions. Disney, CVS, Palantir, Taco Bell & others are making massive profits, paying executives enormous ⬇️

My favorite scene from the Bible

Dementia Don just posted top secret information on his TS page.

Trump: "Millions of American small businesses, including corner stores. What is a corner store? I've never heard that term. I know what a corner store is but I've never heard it described-- a corner store. Who the hell wrote that?"

We should be learning from other countries...

Vigeland: You could pay for college for all for Americans in a week with what we're spending in Iran.

In fairness it’s not like the consequences of having a mad king unilaterally take the country to war on a whim were so incredibly obvious that you could see it coming from the 18th and 19th centuries www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled. A truly extraordinary moment. We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT. Act like it.

Raskin: Based on what you know today, were Renee Good and Alex Pretti domestic terrorists? Noem: What happened was an absolute tragedy. Raskin: Were they domestic terrorists? Noem: My condolences to their families Raskin: You lied about them.

Wow, the Dem primary turnout among Hispanic voters in Texas is going to be giving the GOP sweats for the next 8 months. Take Zapata County - turnout in the Dem primary there yesterday was 143% the total number of votes Harris won in the 2024 general election. That's wild.

Getting shown up in the arena of elite impunity by *the British monarchy* is an incredible “America at 250!” achievement

NEW: A federal judge in Oregon issued a sweeping rebuke of the Justice Department’s nationwide push to seize state voter rolls, ruling that the department can no longer be presumed to be acting in good faith and warning that its conduct threatens voters and states’ rights.

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York is taking a larger role in Democratic politics, supporting moderate candidates and helping drive the party’s economic message. Her heightened prominence comes as insiders begin to whisper more loudly about what she might do in 2028.
