"The same people who insist on policing public bathrooms to protect little girls from sexual predators are also smearing an actual child rape survivor." And not just that. The latest edition of Receipts from @crampell.bsky.social:

Can confirm that this is a real trailer of the Mass Effect game that BioWare was developing up until its closure yesterday www.reddit.com/r/masseffect...

Republicans are just a death cult

Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: nom nom nom gimme dat seed corn i have to eat all the seed corn bsky.app/profile/twil...

its the "hard times create hard men, hard men create soft times, soft times create soft men, soft men create hard times" thing for Boomers being the only generation in American history that got to experience a cradle-to-grave welfare state bsky.app/profile/jack...

Democrats better stop throwing trans people under the bus. The public doesn’t want that.

This is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.

we just love our troops don't we folks? support the troops. stand up for the troops. respect their sacrifice. the troops. gotta respect 'em. it was bullshit the whole time, the same people who spent 25 years saying this cheerlead trump now as he does shit like this. here since she was 6!

Masked Israeli settlers attacked Palestinian villagers on Friday, setting olive groves on fire and slinging rocks. Caught in the attack was Post photographer Heidi Levine. “They just kept kicking me and kicking me, like probably 50 times,” Levine said. https://wapo.st/4yt6dHY

I know no Democratic majority will be large enough and no Democratic leader will be brave enough even suggest nationalizing Starlink and SpaceX. But when our allies' defense is being toyed with by Musk, his treachery demands it.

I am in Cap Haitien interviewing people deported from the United States. I have been doing this kind of work for almost a decade and it literally does not get more dire than this. People have lost everything they built in the U.S. and are terrified and have no place to go or way to live.

I do not mean to single out LeBron James, but it feels completely bizarre to me that an active player is allowed to promote "prediction markets" but would get banned for life for using that service to bet ten dollars on their own team to win a game.

Sen. Susan Collins helped steer millions in federal defense contracts to Navatek, whose CEO illegally funneled thousands of dollars to her campaign. The FBI sought to launch a probe and was eyeing Collins and other lawmakers. Then Trump gutted the unit in charge. THREAD 🧵

Trump says he's also looking at banning the Washington Post, calling it a "crummy paper" and "disgusting." Anyway, good job, Jeff Bezos! It obviously was worth losing all those scubsribers and turning your opinion section into MAGA-lite, only for the president to continue to call you "fake news."

NEW: Brown Brothers Media is the most successful media company you've never heard of. For years, its success was fueled by AI, fake writers, and fake reporting. When we started asking questions, BBM started mass-deleting content. Somehow, what came next was even worse. futurism.com/artificial-i...

President Trump wants control of the midterms. Also, he made a new pledge!

Hasan Piker isn't part of the Abdul El-Sayed campaign. Lorenzo Sewell is a member of the Mike Rogers campaign. And he's a proper extremist and bigot who the media isn't covering. I brought receipts in the Guardian today: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Dude couldn't hit the nail on the head harder.

the american electorate are some of the most babied fucking adults on the face of this earth

Why would Trump end a program that saves you money by letting you file your taxes for free with the IRS? Maybe because TurboTax's parent company donated $1 million to Trump's inauguration. Call it out for what it is: corruption.

Now that's a fucking headline. www.newsweek.com/mitch-mcconn...

This is the most Republican story you will read all day. A Republican who represents Trump’s home district was arrested for molesting his OWN GRANDSON and could face the death penalty under a state law he sponsored. There has to be a German word for this.

Lowkey excellent thing about Wikipedia: accurately describing the extremism and lies of right-wingers because its sole concern is provable truth, while the media tiptoes around accurately describing whats happening to avoid appearing “biased” against the extremists and liars

New: We pieced together dozens of violent incidents from the ICE agents seen in viral videos from Virginia this week. They've roamed across multiple states, but are most often working in Chicago. We also verified the identity of Martin Lagunas, the fed who pointed his gun at a woman on Monday:

Israeli troops force families from homes amid settler terror campaign in West Bank

I’m not saying Norman’s call for a coup should've been mentioned in all of NYT’s last 92 stories that cited him. But not once? Even in a recent “5 Things” story about Norman, NYT ignored the traitorous text while saying he “has been a real estate developer for 4 decades.” That's normalization. 7/7🧵

The president is refusing to spend taxpayer money assisting Americans suffering from natural disasters solely because their states didn't vote for him. I know there are a thousand scandals at the moment, but this one deserves some more oxygen at every level.

The U.S. has AGAIN sent people to a foreign country where they get imprisoned. This time, it’s to get around laws barring the deportation of people who face persecution/torture in their home countries. The U.S. gets paper-thin assurances that the below won't happen, which it knows will be ignored.

Trump administration will pay German energy firm RWE $1.22 billion to abandon plans to build wind farms off the coasts of New York, California and Louisiana. Including this project, the government has so far spent roughly $3.9 billion to get companies to terminate 12 offshore wind leases

The corporate media will demand a Democrat disavow words of a supporter a thousand times more than they will demand a Republican be accountable for the actions of their president

It should be illegal to make a movie about fucking without any fucking in it

Religious bigotry has no place in American politics. Here's why we are running attack ads against every Muslim candidate who wins a primary.

It's been almost 2 months since police killed 1-year-old Kohen Wiley outside a Mississippi Walmart and while local leaders are silent, community members are not. New from me on what's happening in Senatobia, MS for @theintercept.com:

El-Sayed on Islamophobia: "That's the only play they got. They're gonna point at me, they're gonna point at my name, like, 'Wow, he's different.' That's the best you got? You can't actually talk about what you want to do? My name is not raising your gas prices. My name is now taking us to war."

If Democrats retake the majority in the Senate and I become chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, one of my first acts will be to subpoena the bankers that helped Epstein carry out his crimes and help deliver real accountability.

Sure did! 😬

This is much smarter than what I always say. Mine is, "if they can't see it from their front porch they don't care"
