Oh so a country *can* choose not to make the same mistake twice

Every time people go out and vote against fascists, authoritarians, oligarchs and tyrants, I see hope for humankind

Note to self: you will always lose an argument against security theatre because the whole point of security theatre is how secure it sounds

Trump: "The first one is they show you a lion, a bear, a snake, and a giraffe. And they say, 'Which one is the giraffe?' I got a perfect score."

you can really see the braces around Trump's legs as he staggers across the tarmac today

We get the same tax revenue from selling other wines, genius.

“If you don’t like public executions just don’t watch it” says the crowd trying to ban drag shows and books

Plusieurs médias et un service de police ont alerté la population au sujet d’un « défi » dangereux sur les réseaux sociaux sans vérifier s’il existait vraiment, ont constaté les Décrypteurs. Scoop : le défi n’existe pas. 1re collab avec @nicholasderosa.bsky.social aux Décrypteurs.

François Legault s’était fait élire en jurant de changer le mode de scrutin. Son parti va disparaître parce qu’il a menti. Karma.

“Please don’t leave me alone with him.”

Trump hasn't even left DC yet and these poor suckers in Alabama are already waiting around for him at tonight's rally

programming note -- i will not be watching tonight's Trump rally in Alabama because i have children who need attention from their dad, but i will be watching tomorrow night's Trump rally in Ohio because i am a masochist

Eye popping. Court just unsealed Summary Judgment motions in New York Times v OpenAI / Microsoft. Easy to see why the AI companies had so many redactions (pink). Their own people wrote the lede for NYT, the "largest theft of labor in human history"... "more and more substitutive..." /1

Voulez-vous l'avis d'un urgentologue?

A journalist absolutely needs to ask Trump the precise period in which he believes Germany was great

Un peu ridicule l’argument de mme Gazal. Le PQ et QS reconnaissent tous deux la capacité d’accueil limitée, mais à des niveaux différents. Aucun rapport avec la définition d’un « Québécois ». plus.lapresse.ca/screens/1cfa...

Chronique | Chefs de parti, ayez le courage de vos compressions budgétaires.

Wait. Do republicans think doctors work for free under universal healthcare? Does she think doctors who see Medicare patients don’t get paid?

La société d'État québécoise SAAQ affiche « Lake America » sur son site.

Ah, now we get to the point of all of this.

Merck and Moderna say their mRNA cancer vaccine worked in a late-stage melanoma trial. A roadkill eating nepo baby heroin addict says all it will do is give people autism. For busy melanoma patients, it can be hard to know who to trust.

I hate this bit where executives “brag” about working 20 hours a day like, congrats, you are bad at prioritizing, are severely sleep deprived, and your cognitive function is impaired. is that supposed to be a flex?

this is the mindset every Democrat needs to have when the primary ends while discussing campaigns. let's put our differences aside and focus on getting viable candidates taking on fascism pass the goal line this November.

They're brining their lettuces...

Holy shit. www.wired.com/story/a-civi...

If Fauci had come back with "I'm a guy who would never ignore his son-in-law beating the shit out of his own daughter," I'd have asked for his hand in marriage.

Hurling F-bombs at an 85-year-old scientist who won’t fight back doesn’t make you tough. Staying silent after your own daughter accused Rep. Max Miller of holding a gun to her head, pushing her against a wall, and fracturing your granddaughter’s collarbone makes you a coward.

Once again, this is not an important question, nor does answering it tell you anything about any useful moral question

We are all going to have so many kinds of diarrhea

well when you put it like that

“Do people enjoy the hospital food when they are hospitalized for exploding diarrhea because you dismantled surveillance programs?”

Michael Fanone's take on Lindsey Graham is one of the most powerful I've read:

Happy anniversary of that time the post office asked me to provide evidence that my package was not delivered.

don't drink any water either, mister president, i hear it's turning people woke

In other words--Democrats will go after the most corrupt administration in the history of the USA and one of the most corrupt administrations anywhere in the world today. Sign me up.

DAMMIT, I’ve been pro-algae for free and other folks are getting paid?!?

Trump appears to be completely passed out asleep during his 3pm Oval Office announcement

This cartoon isn't an exaggeration—not even 1% an exaggeration. Weeks ago it seemed this far-right Supreme Court would still block any map intentionally authored to be racist. We just learned that that's no longer true. We have reentered Jim Crow, and it's a national disgrace.

Ossoff: "While you pay more for everything, Donald Trump wants your tax dollars for what many are calling the Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Ballroom."

subtle.

Laisser les Canes compter tous leurs buts ce soir, ça fait qu'il ne leur en restera plus pour les matchs 5, 6 et 7. #GoHabsGo

Trump: "The world is bigger than the US. Hard to believe, but it's true."
