So funny, the British.
By the way did you know that candidates for president and congress don't have to undergo background checks? Every other applicant for a position of trust in the federal government that requires a security clearance undergoes a screening process.

Plenty of us make work that tries to engage with white working-class men and hear their pain but when these men open their phones they are force-fed hate. That's just a fact (www.theguardian.com/technology/a...) and it's also an oddly understated one. You can't mute us then say we don't care.
The greatest threat women face is the online spread of misogyny by predator-influencers and via algorithms - even onto blank accounts set up as those of 24yo men, as in the article below.
Boys and men are being radicalized into misogyny by white men. Trans people & immigrants are not the problem.
This is what the "liberation" by the Russian occupiers looks like. A 3-ton Russian aerial bomb struck Kostiantynivka. An entire block of apartment buildings was leveled to the foundation. Footage provided by aerial reconnaissance from the "Phoenix" border guard unit.

When asked this week why he doesn't turn up to the Clacton business board or do other constituency work, his spokesperson said this week 'he makes personal donations to local charities and writes a column for the local paper'. THAT'S NOT WHAT HE IS PAID TO BE AN MP FOR.

Another person died in ICE custody, bringing the total to 17 so far in 2026—four months into the year.
The federal government doesn't publicly share on the number of people ICE injures and kills, but we do. Here's our count.

DO NOT SPREAD THIS FALSEHOOD.
2026, 2027, and 2028 will require all of us to up our media literacy game.
Anonymous non-journalists touting major breaking news stories not reported or even hinted at anywhere else should be immediately blocked, not shared.
This company is out of control and its CEO appears in nearly every public appearance to be disturbed in some way.
There are companies our government should have nothing to do with anymore—e.g., those associated with Elon Musk—and Palantir is on that list.
Donald Trump is very unpopular and being seen as opposing Donald Trump in clear moral terms is an almost instant path to political and cultural relevance.
Big donors to President Trump's MAGA Inc super PAC in March, per new FEC filing:

Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation: $2 million
GEO Group subsidiary GEO Reentry: $1 million
William & Caroline Reily: $500,000 apiece
Well worth listening to the full podcast. Gore is as sharp as ever.

Al Gore:
“This is the most corrupt administration not only in American history, but more corrupt than I could ever have imagined a president would be able to get away with to the extent that he has. It’s shocking to me.”
To mark the passing of CBS News Radio, I wrote about how it began—with a forgotten broadcast from a Black prison inmate.

For @slate.com & @economichardship.bsky.social, I reported on how chaos and changes surrounding SNAP benefits are taking a toll.
People described endless fear and worry over feeding their kids, where their next meal will come from, and whether SNAP could become even more difficult to access.

Want proof that the world has turned totally upside down? A year ago no one would have dreamed that these people would be saying what they are saying now, which is more or less exactly what the people they hate have been saying for years about Trump.
He didn't change; they have.
Trump has destroyed federal guardrails meant to ensure secure and fair elections.
Some fear his actions are aimed at making sure the upcoming midterms go his way.
(🚨) OK, the time has come.
Everyone needs to read the 2020 bestseller Proof of Corruption, in which the man pictured below is a key antagonist trying to steal the 2020 election for Trump.
Don't care about the money here, just borrow it from the library.

What did he know?
Gonna spend the next two years spamming every elected Dem about the concept of "damnatio memoriae." Chisel his name off every inscription. Build over the various Trump Towers like they're Nero's Golden House. Remove him from physical memory, not to forget but as a sign of disrespect to the man.
