AOC: "As AI begins to encroach in our society, their goal is to take your cognition away from you. AI's goal is to take your thoughts away from you, your ability to think away from you, so that you become dependent on a machine ... reading books is active resistance"

Trump is panicking about the midterms. In just the past week, he's promised: 💰 Farmers permanent year-round E15 💰 Cash settlements for Camp Lejeune toxic water victims But ONLY IF Republicans win! It’s one thing to make campaign promises. It’s another thing to use taxpayer money to bribe voters.

Ossoff: "What worries me right now is complacency about this race in Georgia, overconfidence about this race in Georgia. There's no such thing as a landslide victory in the state of Georgia. This remains the crucial battleground state."

Hey genius: Guess where the name “Ontario” came from? Native AMERICANS. The Canadian province is named after the lake!   This is absurd. To him, it’s all a game. But real livelihoods are at stake. Costs are through the roof because of his *other* war, and his tariffs have only made things worse.

Can someone let the AP know that violating court orders is not a sign of "executive power. " It is a sign of contempt, lawlessness and authoritarianism.

A room full of the most powerful people in politics and media presumed they were being attacked by an active shooter. They dove under tables and texted loved ones. They feared for their lives. And somehow, not a damn thing will be done by them to push for gun reform tomorrow morning. America.

Urgent: Several lawmakers call for the 25th Amendment as Trump melts down. Trump threatens to bomb all of Iran, including civilian infrastructure. We are not living in normal times. I won’t normalize it. Subscribe to support independent media that will call out an unhinged President.

Punchbowl confirms what I suspected in a post last night. Thune reached a deal with Dems to fund DHS except for ICE and Trump rejected it. DONALD TRUMP is to blame for airport chaos - not Democrats.

i am simply asking the press to cover the government sending masked thugs to rip people from their crying children and shipping them to a foreign concentration camp with the same ferocity they cover a trans kid playing jv tennis in sheboygan

I get that these guys have no shame, but that doesn’t mean we should give them a pass for it. Shame on Johnson and shame on the Republican Party that won’t call this out even though they know it’s wrong.

Speaker Mike Johnson just called on the Senate to censure...Sen. Alex Padilla. You read that right. The American Fascist Party at work.

Happy Loving Day! 58 years ago today, Mildred and Richard Loving—a couple from Virginia—won a historic legal battle in the Supreme Court to end state bans on interracial marriage. Today, we celebrate their bravery and love as we continue our work to end discrimination and racism.

Trump understands that tariff threats like the ones he posted this morning move markets downward. He's not ignorant about that dynamic. The question is which person or interest around him is gaining from it.

House Republicans smuggled this👇attack on the federal judiciary into their reconciliation bill. Courts rarely require plaintiffs to post security, so this provision, if passed into law, would render a vast number of existing judgments—including Boasberg's contempt order—effectively unenforceable.

The only thing missing from yesterday's cluster f*ck is that Elon feels he's donated enough to politics. No surprise since he has what he wanted; all of our personal and financial information.

Can somebody tell the senile out of touch old man who has ever been able to comprehend in any way how the average American lives their lives that us peasants still call them groceries? bsky.app/profile/atru...

Trump to UAE president: "We have a term 'groceries.' It's an old term but it means basically what you're buying, food, it's a pretty accurate term but it's an old fashioned sound but groceries are down."

Moskowitz: "The DOGE caucus is dead ... by the way, they forgot the E part of DOGE. Nothing has been more efficient. Ask the people at Newark who are flying these days if they feel that we've made the FAA more efficient."

The renaming of Veteran’s Day to “Victory Day for World War I” is not about vets or victories. It’s a projection of strength towards you, the American. Trump wants you to fear him, so he’s reminding you who has all the tanks and bombs. www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

He is unwell. It’s very obvious. And very dangerous.

Justin Baragona@justinbaragona.bsky.social

This exchange is so very telling. Trump repeatedly claims the photoshopped MS-13 on Kilmar Abrego Garcia's knuckles is real, Terry Moran keeps telling him it isn't, prompting Trump to say this: "I never heard of you. I picked you. You’re not being very nice. He had MS-13 tattooed... Just say yes!"

We are no longer Democrats or Republicans. We are either patriots fighting the Trump regime or we are complicit in its tyranny. There is no middle ground. Now is the time for all of us to become activists. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-start-of-week-14
