Guys it’s 2026 can we please stop falling for his BS.

‘The Matrix’ creator Lilly Wachowski on J.K. Rowling and the new ‘Harry Potter’ series: “She is funding trans genocide. J.K. Rowling funds trans genocide, full stop. So, if you support ‘Harry Potter,’ you’re supporting trans genocide.” variety.com/2026/tv/feat...

Awful. Just awful. A promising young man, a high school honors grad who joined JROTC and dreamed of becoming a doctor, killed himself because of the Trump admin’s obsession with hurting Haitians and the humiliating shame of an ICE ankle monitor. His blood is on their hands.

here is the thing. if you tell me that you believe that race is a biological category and that it is a guide to the objective superiority and inferiority of groups of people, i am not calling you a racist to *insult* you, i am calling you a racist because it best describes your beliefs.

Finally reading The Edge of Space-Time by @chanda.blacksky.app and it’s everything I’ve ever wanted from a book about physics. The breadth of references is stunning: from Einstein to Aime Cesaire to Mission Impossible to Star Trek. Fascinating, compelling read.

The point of putting it this way is to emphasize that the message "here is what the public thinks, so stop thinking differently" is always for the left; the right KNOWS that "public opinion" is a thing to work to change to fit what it wants.

The right has been investing in media for a long time, because they know you can use the media to shape public opinion; one of the way mass media does this is by telling the public what "public opinion" already is, to try to convince the public not to have a different opinion than "capitalism good"

1. "They tried to run us over" has been institutionalized as DHS's license to shoot people. They reflexively go to this lie when they draw their guns. 2. Even with a masked man is waving a gun in her face, this woman repeatedly tells them they are full of shit. Hero.

Bombshell new report out from my investigators this morning spanning our four year investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s financial records. This report shows exactly how Wall Street protected Epstein and enabled his sex trafficking for decades. Mega thread following with some key points:

This book was a fascinating behind the scenes on the business of basketball, LeBron, and the Lakers. An in-depth view of the good and the bad of all parties.

can’t believe a narcissist is being so publicly humiliated by a reflecting pool

sometimes i am struck by the sheer wickedness of this man

"So often, when this city comes together, it is because we are forced to by a moment of tragedy or adversity. What a gift it is to be brought together by pure, unfiltered joy."

I’m almost finished reading The Shining, first @stephenking.bsky.social novel I’ve ever read. It’s really good! Going to follow up with a rewatch of the film.

why wasn't this reported at the time? for this classic reason:

a perfect sketch. one of the funniest things ever put to film, imo youtu.be/n-Bfkc6lZok?...

Dylan Harper’s mom, Maria, breaks down her message to him during their postgame embrace 🫶 Dylan Harper will make his first NBA Finals appearance in his rookie season!

“Power under capitalism comes from capital itself, and we need to figure out how to have collective control of that.” Read the full interview by @charlespulliam.bsky.social:

this is also one of my hobbyhorses. you want a better caliber of lawmaker? you want to reduce the odds of corruption? pay them more. a lot more.

Again this should inspire wall-to-wall media coverage for months. The crowning achievement of the Civil Rights Movement is dead. Black people just lost all of their remaining political power in the South. This is a monumental moment in American history that simply isn't being treated as such.

U.S. intel also indicates that Iran retains about 75% of its pre-war inventories of mobile launchers & about 70% of its pre-war stockpiles of missiles, per a U.S. official. The regime has also been able to recover underground storage facilities & repair damaged missiles

SCOOP: A confidential new CIA analysis delivered to policymakers this week concludes that Iran can survive the U.S. naval blockade for at least 3 to 4 months before facing more severe economic hardship, a finding that contradicts those hailing an imminent collapse 🧵

American evangelicals hold Trump above Christ in practice but if you put the question to them directly they will take some offense

YouTube has removed one of my videos because I reported that women can still access abortion pills. I shared *factual & medically accurate* information about women's health—yet the platform says I'm "facilitating the sale of illegal drugs"

The folks most invested in pushing it see this flattening out of novelty as a feature not a bug. It’s the same impulse that gives us a thousand sequels and super hero and live action versions of animated IP movies.

Um… I did not know this was a thing.

people fucking died for the voting rights act. to wave it away with a magic wand is just so grotesque

john roberts has fulfilled his life's work and fully dismantled the crowning achievement of the civil rights movement. these fucking neo-confederate freaks need to be driven from power forever

This tweet came 11 years, 6 months & 27 days into LeBron's career. It’s been 10 years & 11 months since the tweet & the fuckery continues

i firmly believe that kennedy wants preventable diseases to rip through american communities since, in his warped mind, those who survive without vaccines will have proven themselves “healthy.”

days like today i get incandescent with rage all over again that he wasn't in cuffs and an orange jumpsuit and perp walked on jan 21st, 2021

One of these political leaders has been repeatedly portrayed as an untrustworthy radical hostile to others because of his religious beliefs. You’’ll never guess which one!

EXCLUSIVE: “Casualty Cover-Up”: The Pentagon Is Hiding U.S. Casualties Under Trump in the Middle East The Pentagon has sent outdated statements on the number of U.S. troops killed or injured during the Iran War, resulting in undercounts. theintercept.com/2026/04/01/i...

Go Cecilia!

Losing the war that we started that never had any clear objective while repeatedly antagonizing our allies, who all refused to help us because the war was so stupid, and ending up in a worse position than we were before this needless war started. masterful gambit.

we need to use the term “slopportunities” until Oxoford English Dictionary recognizes it
