Palantir Posts Manifesto Lamenting Post-War “Neutering” of Nazi Germany The surveillance giant has exploded in value as it’s scored massive contracts from the Trump administration.

truthout.org/articles/pal... The sense of dread this gives is overwhelming.

@washingtonpost.com Editorial Board is a raft of pirates and rapscallions, plundering all rational arguments they encounter

Love that @arifleischer.bsky.social thinks he's been right all along. Get stuffed, Ari

Daughter is having an emergency appendectomy tonight.

Amen.

This is a joke, right?

"Just that." Newsom cut a grand deal with Sen. Padilla to get them both ahead (in 2010; Padilla supported Newsom over Brown, and was rewarded). Newsom is an empty suit. A very expensive tailored suit at that

Trump’s statements on Iran increasingly contradict each other The president has made conflicting comments on questions both large and small related to the war.

WaPo takes note of Trump’s “oscillating claims” about the war, but avoids the obvious conclusions — that Trump is deranged, that he is unfit, and that he shouldn’t be in charge. This is an example of the normalization of the dangerously abnormal. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Relieved to see confirmation that Villaraigosa is a has-been

The ugly birthday worm of Hitler's 4/20 has meta'd into the glorious butterfly of the new @theonion.com Infowars. A new day, to be honored in perpetuity! The Onion Day!

We all know one thing Trump wouldn't want to compare with Obama's

Where are the Onion Infowars tshirts??

Hallelujah!

I study racist politicians from the Jim Crow era and this is on par with anything that John Rankin, Theodore Bilbo, or Cotton Ed Smith ever said in public

"Get outta New York you animal!" -- Michael Rapaport

Cowardice, hypocrisy and greed, of course.

That word "proudly" keeps popping up in GOP lies.

It serves important purposes:
1) It stiffens any deception;
3) It gives the speaker something strong to play-act that looks authentic (self-righteousness);
2) It inoculates the speaker from criticism when when saying something shameful.

That's not "shrinking." That's crashing

Tucker Carlson’s son leaves JD Vance’s team amid his dad’s growing feud with Trump Buckley Carlson had worked as Vice President JD Vance’s deputy press secretary

The May 1 general strike is in less than two weeks. I believe it has to succeed for American democracy to have a fighting chance

Our feeds should be flooded with posts like this, but they aren’t

I’m a little concerned

Democracy will not come Today, this year Nor ever Through compromise and fear. I have as much right As the other fellow has To stand On my two feet And own the land. I tire so of hearing people say, Let things take their course. Tomorrow is another day. I do not need my freedom when I'm dead. I cannot live on tomorrow's bread. Freedom Is a strong seed Planted In a great need. I live here, too. I want freedom Just as you. Langston Hughes

Whoever leaked the SCOTUS memos did us all a great service. Roberts should be impeached.

The Supreme Court long relied on careful, time-tested procedures to issue decisions. But secret memos by the justices, obtained by The New York Times, show how the court decided to bypass those procedures and create its modern “shadow docket.” See key takeaways: www.nytimes.com/2026/04/18/u...

We should be learning from other countries...

Raw corruption

Creepy literal messaging: Rogan is behind Trump. Ugh.

They'll print anything that serves them

The IAEA also certified that Iraq had no nuclear weapons in 2003: The US still attacked, just as it attacked Iran in 2026.

Same rationale. Same prize: oil and cost-plus defense contracts. Murderous greed.

@cbsnews.com is dead to me. Will not watch again. Period
