He really is racist.

It's absolutely insane that Stephen Colbert is #1 in late night, beating Kimmel by a little and Fallon by a lot

And why?

The president doesn't like him & the now former owners of CBS wanted their sale of the company to go through.

The mob boss presidency.

Mayor Mamdani chats with New Yorkers while walking the six miles from City Hall to Gracie Mansion, fulfilling the promise he made in his inauguration speech to “be outside” as Mayor — “because this is a government of New York, by New York, and for New York.”

Just a reminder that Pete Hegseth recently said a prayer suggesting that when Iranians cry out to God, He doesn't answer them, but by contrast He does answer Pete Hegseth

Every word of this is true. If you had any doubts that Putin was controlling the deranged lunatic in the White House, that should end today.

Before I became an American, I was Lebanese. Parts of my family live in Lebanon.

Anyway, you don't need those bona fides to feel this way, but what is happening in Lebanon right now is a complete outrage. The people there, who mostly are just trying to carve out a living, don't deserve this.

A commenter notes that "Trump managed to be both Hitler and Chamberlain in the same negotiation. An unprecedented feat." 😭

House Oversight Ranking Member Robert Garcia rejects the DOJ's position and says Pam Bondi "must come in to testify immediately, and if she defies the subpoena, we will begin contempt charges in the Congress."

In the Civil War, there was at first a delusion that a wicked political class had led the unwashed masses astray, that secession was a conspiracy by a small class of influential Southern elites.

There's a bit in Grant's memoirs when he talks about how Shiloh had convinced him that was false.

BREAKING: Iran’s Parliament Speaker Ghalibaf says the U.S. has already violated key clauses of Iran’s 10-point framework before negotiations even begin — citing Lebanon ceasefire breaches, a drone incursion, and denial of enrichment rights.

He calls talks “unreasonable” under current conditions. 1/

I pledge my labor to the elites who have captured America and to the power which they have seized two peoples, easily divided with liberty and justice for some

I've got a bunch of spinach.
How would you prepare it to be eaten? I need some recipes and ideas other than salads and frittatas.

A labeled image of the far side of the Moon.

The Artemis II astronauts are on their way to seeing the far side of the Moon! Just 24 people in the history of the human race have seen it with their own eyes.👀

This is what the Moon's far side looks like! It is dominated by Lunar highlands; there are fewer dark areas (maria) due to thicker crust.

Insurance companies will not reimburse for certain cancer screenings or genetic tests without an attested family history.

Hannity and Lindsey Graham are straight up cheerleading war crimes against the civilian population of Iran

Jeff Bezos is worth $220 billion.

After building that fortune from overworking and exploiting his own workers, Bezos is now developing a fund to acquire manufacturing companies and automate them.

Why do we always hear about immigrants taking jobs when the oligarchs are actually to blame?

6/6 More surveillance. More consolidation. Less freedom. Less anonymity. Built on the bones of a constitutional protection that's been on the books since 1965.
Lamont v. Postmaster General. Same trick, different decade. Don't let them normalize it.

5/6 And here's the part that should make you furious: Big Tech is PUSHING for this. Google. Meta. Twitter. They already have the verification systems. Their competition doesn't. These laws don't rein in the monopolies — they cement them. The feds and oligarchs are working together. That's scary.

4/6 Who's most at risk? Whistleblowers. Dissidents. Gun owners researching their rights. People who don't trust their government. People who are right not to. The moment this exists, every future administration inherits it. You going to trust all of them with a list of everything you've ever read?

3/6 Now they want a checkpoint before you access the internet. You hand your ID to a website. They store it. They get hacked, sold, or subpoenaed. Everything you read. Every forum you joined. Every search . Attached to your name. Forever. That's not protection. That's a file on every American.

2/6 Lamont v. Postmaster General. Feds were intercepting Americans' mail and demanding ID before you could receive your own letters. SCOTUS struck it down 9-0. The First Amendment protects your right to READ — anonymously, without registering with anyone. That ruling still stands.

1/6 The government wants to card you before you can use the internet. "For the children," they say. The Supreme Court already ruled on this exact power grab — in 1965 — and told Washington to go to hell.

They beat a blind refugee who speaks no English for failing to obey police commands he could not understand. Then instead of apologizing, they charged him with possession of a “weapon”—HIS WALKING STICK. Then they dumped him miles from home without notifying anyone, after which he was found dead.

Just a reminder as Trump spews complete lies about voter fraud that he put the full weight of his first administration into proving some of this bullshit and they came up completely empty.
