Today I learned that this could exist as a voting option. What an interesting concept - and most people are already familiar with ranking something from 0 to 5 stars.

STAR Voting@starvoting.bsky.social

With STAR Voting, give your favorite candidate 5 stars, your least favorite candidate 0 stars, and score the others as you like!

SCOOP: So remember Dialog, Peter Thiel's private society that doesn't have a public website and no public list of members? I (along with a number of other journalists) have just been tipped off that embedded in the code of their closed off website there IS what seems to be a list of some members.

Hi! I'm a farmer! This NYT article is sweet, saccharine bullshit. Farmers knew Trump was going to hurt our business. Because he already did a trade war in his 1st term. I even did a video on why so many farmers support Trump, WHILE knowing he'd hurt our farms.

Brad voted Trump bc he promised to be “the most pro-farmer president you’ve ever had.” Instead, tariffs cut Brad’s export market; the war surged fertilizer prices by 70%. So Brad arranged his family’s final sale. “Farm is going dry,” said the ad. “Every cow must go.” www.nytimes.com/2026/05/03/u...

"When you have a president who's running the country like a mob boss instead of a government, who's running the government for himself, of himself, and by himself, & for his cronies, instead of the people, by the people, and for the people, there's only one solution, & that's impeachment & removal."

If NH House Republicans spent half as much time lowering property taxes as they spend obsessing over where trans people go to the bathroom, maybe our state wouldn’t be in the financial crisis we are in right now. #NHPolitics #NH01 #ProtectTransRights

Assigned Media@assignedmedia.org

The relentless march of anti-trans bills in GOP controlled states continues. Iowa is attempting to ban cities and counties from protecting trans Iowans from discrimination within their jurisdiction. New Hampshire is attempting another bathroom ban. More here: www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

Please read this article to the end. Even before ICE got involved, this started because this *blind man who speaks no English and uses a curtain rod as a walking stick* got lost on a walk and some Karen called the police on him and they tasered and beat him bc he didn’t drop the rod. WTF

Maybe DOJ should focus on the law it’s violating, the Epstein Files Transparency Act, instead of speculating a crime might have been committed (despite multiple ballot recounts) in Fulton County or declining to investigate two homicides in Minneapolis?

ICE agents in Colorado have been leaving ace of spades cards behind when they detain someone, a psychological warfare technique the United States Armed Forces used against its mortal enemies during the Vietnam War. If you do not think Donald Trump is at war with his country, think again.

Pew Research Institute (2023): • Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants • Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants • Blue State Minnesota has 130,000. And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration." It's *not* about immigration.

The most enlightening and disappointing thing to come out of this ICE shooting is that the right legitimately does not give a fuck about human life if it harms their political narrative. Watching people malign a 37 year old mother for being murdered by her country is insane.

🚨 BREAKING: I obtained the letter the DOJ sent to Congress about today's Epstein files release. NOW IT ALL MAKES SENSE! The law requires 5 exceptions. They're using 8. Here's what they're hiding and why it matters.

The official death count in South Sudan is nearly 1,600, making it the worst cholera epidemic in the country’s history. But that toll is a dramatic undercount. ProPublica found newly dug, unmarked graves alongside roads and in backyards.

The Trump administration is punishing the American Academy of Pediatrics. I have enough thoughts about this for an entire feature length documentary but here are two minutes of them. (Spoiler alert: you can’t fight bad politics by staying apolitical.)

Over fifty years ago, the Justice Department was investigating the Trump family for discriminating against Black people in their real estate business. Now, the president's administration is accusing the city of Boston of housing discrimination against white people.

Dear male White House reporters, The next time Trump insults one of your female colleagues, if one of you doesn’t interject and say “Excuse me, sir, but fuck you.” God is going to lose his mind. Regards, God

Democrats would be crazy not to make this comment super-famous tomorrow when the Senate debates health care. Republicans don’t want you to be cared for as a patient when you’re sick. They think of you as a “consumer”—and tough luck if you don’t have the money for the care you need.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Roger Marshall: "We want patients to become consumers again. We want patients to see what the actual prices are. We believe that if we would add the price tags to this bill, that it would save the country a trillion dollars a year."

Southridge High students walked out in solidarity today—joining a wave of young people refusing to be silent while ICE storms their communities. After months of armed, masked agents targeting teens, they’re drawing a line: We protect each other. We show up. And we won’t let fear decide our future.

BERMAN: Would it be legal for police in Arkansas to kill suspected drug dealers on a boat in a lake? TOM COTTON: The premise of your question is not well-founded BERMAN: The answer is no. It would not be legal to kill them.

Trump’s USDA is threatening to withhold food stamp funding for 20 Democrat-controlled states if they don’t share recipients’ sensitive personal data. Yes: Trump is weaponizing hunger against millions of Americans, including children, to score cheap political points. The cruelty is endless.

It's been six months of daily horrors since her (final) death, but please do not forget the name of Adriana Smith, the young black woman whose corpse the state of Georgia kept on life support against her family's wishes - because she was 9 WEEKS pregnant. That baby has never left the hospital.

Let's strengthen the Democratic Party by standing firmly on principle: (1) Medicare for All is a non-negotiable human right. (2) Demand leaders who can't be bought by foreign lobbyists, like AIPAC. (3) Stand for human rights, whether in the U.S, Palestine, or anywhere else.
