Props to the NY Times editor and reporter who refused to sanewash this www.nytimes.com/2026/04/22/u...

So now Pete Hegseth has fired the Secretary of the Navy and the Chief of Staff of the Army, both in the middle of a war, both with no public or known explanation? Seems fine.

Keep your heads up @splcunion.bsky.social. Thank you for your important work.

What’s with the spray tans on these MAGA weirdos? So vaccines are dangerous but spraying orange chemicals all over his body is fine? I need to understand the spray tan obsession these lunatics have. Maybe that’s why they have brain damage! Someone should look into it. #RFK #AOC

Lolz

This part. Lol

Someone on "The Sopranos" spitting Italian slang for "you fucking idiot" that I had to look up online.

For the record: The Washington Post can go fuck itself.

Opinion | Measles Took My Daughter. This Is What I Want Everyone to Know.

Like me, you may think you understand the horror of measles and the murder being committed by RFK & co. Read this, if you can handle it--my eyes are tearing up for this splendid child lost--and learn just how much more terrible and heartbreaking it is. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/21/o...

If not for Trump, what's the emoluments clause for? What's impeachment for? What's the 25th Amendment for? What's section 3 of the 14th Amendment for? What are checks and balances for?

The baddies are cherrypicking the Constitution the same way they do the bible: for their own benefit.

This is amazing.

Trump's running out of women in his cabinet to blame.

Sad to share that today is my last as investigative editor at ITT, following layoffs that affected about half the staff. For the immediate future I’ll be finishing a book about the Catholic right. Not sure what comes after that, but am open for job leads, freelancing, editing gigs, rich patrons, etc

HIRE KATHRYN. In an age of journalism in a death spiral, she's the real deal as investigative journalist, an excellent writer, a true thinker, and a real human being. She knows Christian nationalism as well as anyone.

Business owners forced out as the Painted Tree Boutique files for bankruptcy Thousands of small business owners across the country are left picking up the pieces after Painted Tree Boutiques filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy.

This is directly impacting my former longtime community and many others. Hardworking small business vendors left with little to no recourse in recouping their own inventory but bailout for big corp. Infuriating . Bankruptcy is easy way out. www.kolotv.com/2026/04/16/b...

Climate removed from top level navigation on BBC News.

This is the most important thing you will read today – and probably the whole year, honestly.

We cannot let the AMOC collapse. For one thing it will make Iceland uninhabitable, and I would really like my children and grandchildren not to become refugees. But the effects will be almost everywhere.

Thread on a fake story about Platner sieg heiling. He did NOT do this. Rightwingers drumming it up, tho, because Platner brings so much actual trash to the table that they know some will believe it. Which is a good reason not to support people w/ *any* Nazi trash. Not even just a li'l bit of Nazi!

Trump called every reporter in the observable universe, who all dutifully repeated his updates about Iran, and all those updates have fallen apart in fewer than 36 hours.

How long will legacy media keep doing this?

The FBI Director, the DC US Attorney, and the Secretary of Defense walk into a bar.

Apparently like every day.

"There's gonna be a tremendous amount of propaganda that suggests that somehow this was a great deal when...this was a deal you could have had easily without fighting the war."

@benrhodes.bsky.social and @timmiller.bsky.social on the gap between what Trump claims and what his war actually achieved.

Agencies in talks with Trump, family to resolve $10B lawsuit over tax leaks President Trump and his family are suing federal agencies over leaks of their tax information. Court filings say they’re in talks to find a solution instead of heading to trial.

Men, We Need to Talk About "Rape Academy" This isn’t about women. This is about us. And it’s long past time we had this conversation

This article is for men.

In just the past few weeks: a wife murdered. A community leader killed. Multiple women alleging assault from another congressman. A survivor died by suicide. "Rape Academy" has 140 million visits in two months.

The pattern is horrifying, and the solution starts with us.
