“A comparable scenario would have been President Franklin Roosevelt siding with Hitler or Stalin in 1939. 'Mind-boggling that we have a president in this position'...” www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

Irreplaceable marble gifted by Italy Matisse tapestries gifted from France; Starburst chandelier in the opera hall & lights a gift from Sweden Stage curtains from Japan, woven on special looms because of their size The grounds have beautiful art displays. This is what Trump is destroying Our heart

The Trump administration is eliminating limits on climate-warming pollution from the nation's fossil fuel power plants. Environmental groups say this will impact the climate and public health. n.pr/4Aw2pYX

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

Kremlev, the Russian who sponsored Don Jr's wedding, is a former member of the Night Wolves biker gang, went to China with Putin and is personally sanctioned by Ukraine for his role in abducting children. He praises Stalin on social media www.propublica.org/article/dona...

I post this every year on 9/11. Never forget. bsky.app/profile/ronf...

My God. What have we become?

@thebulwark.com did a supercut of all the prior times Trump said he was going to give Americans a $5000 check or whatever. It is glorious

Sean Hannity’s selection to lead coverage of the midterms convention is a clear signal that Fox plans to produce a GOP infomercial, and it is functionally equivalent to simply letting the Republican National Committee program the coverage. www.mediamatters.org/fox-news/fox...

😂

This is why Trump's people barred reporters from the WSJ, the NYT and Bloomberg from the G20 finance meeting - they had secretly invited the Russians.

Markwayne Mullin: "You have a Biden administration that is failing the American people"

In 2024, billionaire Richard Uihlein and his wife spent $59 million backing Trump and other conservative candidates across the country. Now, they’ve set their sites on a new target: Minnesota’s Governor’s race. Read more from ECU President @tiffanymuller.bsky.social.

Inverse Charlie Kirk. Him: bad person the right tried pretending—and demanding everyone else pretend—was good. Her: good person who did a lot of good things, which they need to deny to avoid cognitive dissonance. Vocally and financially supporting Black artists and LGBT people isn’t “neutral.”

Another Christian conservative. This keeps happening.

An old man repeatedly saying “young beautiful girls” is a sentence that should make everybody’s skin crawl.

The latest UBS Global Wealth Report offers a stark snapshot of global inequality: The richest 1.5 percent of the world's adults now own nearly half of all global wealth.

Can any Republican tell the rest of American what happened to the $13 billion Trump has taken from Venezuela and put into a Qatari bank… Not even one?! Guess not. Enjoy. 😎✨

They could not look guiltier if they tried. If Mitch is dead/incapacitated, These people should be in prison for fraud/racketeering. They’re defrauding the people of Kentucky for their salaries at the VERY least. @govandybeshear.bsky.social #MissingMitchMcconnell

This story is terrifying

I spoke to Mitch McConnell for 20 minutes and he just said “AGHHGHGGHG IT BURRNNNSS!!!” the whole time because he’s in Hell

STOP LISTENING TO THESE FUCKING PEOPLE

The Pentagon is withholding causality and hit numbers. The CDC is withholding infection rates. The FDA is withholding information about food contamination. The EPA is withholding pollution and climate data. This corrupt administration is ALL about concealing the consequences of its incompetence.

Rather than repeating debunked election conspiracy theories, in a better world, a President would be addressing... this:

I wrote about Trump's tainting of the World Cup @thenation.com Feeing bad for a likable USA team that now in the eyes of the world is in a no-win situation. Win, it was rigged. Lose, good riddance. They didn't ask to be the ugly Americans. But all Trump touches.... www.thenation.com/article/soci...

One year ago, Trump signed his One Big Beautiful Bill that: –Stripped healthcare from 8 million Americans –Raised taxes on 95% of Americans –Kicked 2.5 million children off of food assistance All to give a tax cut to billionaires.

Sums up his presidency nicely

-A living wage -Guaranteed healthcare -The right to join a union -The right to vote -The right to choose when, how, and with whom you start a family -The right for you and your family to live free from gun violence Remember: These are the foundations of real freedom.

NEW STORY: “It is general knowledge in our practice that for $2 million, you can have a pardon,” a prominent defense attorney told me. Others said $1-2 million is the going rate, though clients were offering *many* times that amount for challenging cases. www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Both totally unnecessary and extremely funny that the Guardian has an interactive graphic for you to change the color of the US flag's blue to the color of the Reflecting Pool from 8 to 19 June and counting

This should be on the front page of every newspaper in America.       Trump’s DOJ just shut down a federal investigation into a coal company owned by Sen. Jim Justice, one of his closest allies, after it racked up tens of thousands of alleged violations for dumping dangerous chemicals…

In Opinion The system that turned Gila monster venom into GLP-1 drugs is being dismantled through research budget cuts, Jeff Coller writes in a guest essay. “Less support for scientists means strange questions no one will get to chase. Exploring those questions is how medicine advances.”

Hey remember when Trump said he didn’t know what Project 2025 was and the super serious mainstream media swallowed it? 😕🤷🏼

(Gift Article) The Men Who Want Women to Be Quiet — A virulent form of misogyny has become the most important force holding together the American right. Pete Hegseth is among its ranks.

This is the way, fellow journalists. Stand for something or fall for anything. The right side of history is rarely this easy to spot.

The U.S. has spent billions to lose a war that enriches its oligarchs, impoverishes the citizenry, sabotages its alliances, and strengthens its enemies. Empires have risen and failed before, but to my knowledge no state has ever chosen to kill its own power. snyder.substack.com/p/on-superpo...

When supporting vaccines disqualifies someone from a top health position we're in the upside down world.

Companies are using AI to determine the minimum pay you’ll accept. Experts describe “surveillance wages” as a system in which wages are based not on an employee’s performance or seniority, but on formulas that use their personal data. Source: Washington Center for Equitable Growth

The nuclear winter and decimation of medical research in America. Murdered by RFK Jr and Trump regime. Next time you/your family suffers an illness, remember who killed our future cures and preventions. Never forget.

Very bad news. As bad as when Space Nazi acquired Twitter.
