The Army Chorus sang Les Mis at the Governor's Ball, with the women out front. They didn't sing for Drumpf - they sang for us. Do YOU hear the people sing? www.youtube.com/watch?v=pIQh...

Congratulations to our Grifter-in-Chief, who has made it impossible for America to earn any kind of fair and honorable win in the World Cup.

“Died of sadness,” according to family. An immeasurable loss.

"We want a president who has to be carried screaming and kicking into the White House -- but will then do the best job he possibly can..." Imperial Earth by Arthur C. Clarke

White allies need to act on this type of racism. Contact Airbnb and push for a change in this host’s status. Another black or brown guest could end up going through this horrible experience unless there’s corporate consequences.

Musk math never holds up to scrutiny, does it? SMH.

Does anyone have eyewitness intel on #Memphis? Why the eff would ICE be swooping in - a #Pride Month thing is my best guess (as an excuse to spread white nationalist terrorism).

Can it be #Caturday?

Alien vs. Predator

the most anti free speech administration in this country’s history

A lot has happened, but not much has changed.

Best thing on the intertubes today, by a mile.

Obvious ecological benefits aside, this is the seldom mentioned side of being dependent on other countries for oil. The U.S. is addicted to plastics as well as oil and gas.

ABC and Disney must commit to standing up against government censorship. Neither critics, comedians, nor corporations should be scared into submission by MAGA. sign.moveon.org/petitions/ki...

It’s time for Democratic governors to redistrict their states like the Republicans are doing. This not a time to desperately cling to norms by only doing so via special voter referendum. These racist motherfuckers want to erase all Black voters. This is a time for action.

If the Trump regime thinks their lawsuit threats will scare us away from our reporting, they are sorely mistaken. Our new midday recap just dropped. Read, restack, subscribe: www.meidasplus.com/p/sunday-aft...

What is ibogaine, and why are people talking about it? It’s a psychedelic drug derived from the root bark of the iboga plant of central Africa, and has shown promise for treating opioid addiction and PTSD.

Well, shit. No more #SeventhGeneration, #Justins, or #LesserEvil for me.

Normally I don’t care about the Met Gala, but now I will … because anyone who makes a point to attend will fall from grace in my eyes.

It’s astounding that Zelensky survived a full-scale war without ever having a ballroom.

Newspapers shouldn’t cover things Trump says as news. There should be a special rubric called "Trump said this" in the corner of the page or as a separate tab. This would be clarifying. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

I wish they cared this much about shootings when it happens to children at school.

The sad reality is most people just don’t care whether that half-assed “attempted shooting” was staged or real. Trump lies constantly about everything. He attacks anything he dislikes as “fake news.” His administration can’t be trusted on anything. Trump brought this credibility collapse on himself.

Finished my master's thesis. I want to seizure-dance to techno for three days, eat chocolate cake on the fourth day, and binge anime on the fifth and sixth. On the seventh day, I shall finally run out of adrenaline and dopamine, and rest like I haven't rested in three long years.

Saying the Souther Poverty Law Center is promoting racism is like saying the KKK is promoting diversity. Pure Orwellian bullsh!t.

Everything the Ellison family could own if Paramount buys Warner Bros: Paramount+ CBS CNN Showtime HBO Warner Bros TNT TBS MTV DC Studios Nickelodeon Comedy Central Cartoon Network And more... This is a rotten deal that the Trump regime has rubber stamped. State AGs must step in and block it.

So, just to summarize… the GOP hates it when the Orange Pig uses social media because his unhinged ranting could get the US bombed… but the last time someone took away Piggy’s internet privileges, the whole WORLD held its breath because we thought Pig was roasted. Gosh, y’all, what a dilemma … T&Ps!

A fitting post for #caturday. The strays, ferals, and wanderers need help just as much as the cats who have already found their humans.

This is a reminder that positive change can still happen at the state level.

I'm sitting with my partner, watching the #Artemis feed, amazed, humbled, feeling joyful annnd ... an astronaut and the crew member running the feed just had to force their #Christianity into the moment. Way to make the *majority of Americans* feel excluded, #NASA. Seriously unforgettable.

First thing this morning, stumbling out of my bedroom, I got this face at eye level. No idea what it means. #caturday

How to tank your inclusive, insightful, utterly beloved brand, sponsored by #Pixar. Good job. Good job.

Has anyone tried switching off the US Congress & switching it back on again.

Anyone else thinking about that classic original Star Trek episode where Kirk and Spock save the future world by letting a woman get killed by a car? My sleepless brain is wondering ... what alternate timeline was so much worse than this one and how? Because I feel like we've been run over.

Beginning of #caturday, before I turned on the news.

Trying to watch the SOTU because it’s my duty as a citizen. Still amazes me to hear Tr*ump accuse everyone else of corruption, fraud, grifting, and all the other staples from his own damned playbook.

Nothing rattles the powerful like sunlight. A royal tied to Epstein allegations gets arrested, and now his photo is hanging in the Louvre like a warning label. 📌 Campaign group Everyone Hates Elon hung a photograph of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor taken after his arrest in the Louvre.

Their Highnesses, the Picky Princesses of Prospect Hill, are declaring a snow emergency. Humans will be expected to stay in bed, use the couch blanket, or otherwise provide maximum constant body heat.

Keyword: “relevant.” Translation: nothing to see here. No one should trust the DOJ to decide what counts as relevant. We all know there are millions of unreleased docs. 🚨 The DOJ says it has released all of its “relevant” records on Jeffrey Epstein, but some lawmakers are demanding more.

Celebrities defend Van Der Beek family from ‘attacks’ after GoFundMe raises $2 million

Republicans: "Women who care about the U.S. need to accept 'traditional' marriage and give up their birth name because that's what tradwives do." Also Republicans: "Oh, you're the Mrs. in a 'traditional' American marriage? So sorry, just in case you've started paying attention, now you can't vote."

@mfaboston.bsky.social, you should be ashamed of yourself. Our local politicians and MA reps in Congress are standing up for DEI. Yet you decide to lay off BiPOC curators who champion Muslim and Native American art? I've been a card-carrying MFA member for over 20 years but no more.

Still not enough yet? I’ll say it out loud! The president of the United States trafficked, raped, tortured, and killed children. That’s just what they e allowed to be seen. So the worse is actually still hidden. Enough yet? #DefendersOfDemocracy @thedefofdemocracy.bsky.social
