Outrageous. @chiosse.bsky.social was protecting one of his neighbors from eviction, as a result of deed theft — a plague in Central Brooklyn right now. There was no reason for NYPD officers to roughly throw him to the ground. It sure doesn’t make anyone safer. Release him now.
Got to come up with money to replace all those missiles Trump is shooting at fishing boats and elementary schools. bsky.app/profile/fact...

The GOP entered this redistricting under the rather childish delusion they were going to gerrymander, and nobody would gerrymander them. In TX, MO, and a half dozen other states, they put their rather naive theory into operation. They sowed the wind, and now they are going to reap the whirlwind

Here's the video
I know we should not be shocked any more but this a shockingly deranged post from the addled old failing man in the White House.
"He's tricking you! You're getting conned just like the MAGA people got conned. He's a very talented con man, but he's a con man."
@timmiller.bsky.social, @jvl.bsky.social and @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social discuss Tucker Carlson’s latest pivot and why nobody should mistake it for sincerity.
Fifteen minutes before the President announced he was pausing strikes on Iran, somebody moved $500 million in oil futures. Somebody knew. Somebody told them. Or somebody is them.

“Superpower Suicide” is a concept to help understand the approach of the Trump regime to the rest of the world. We are fighting a war for no reason we can name, losing it, and covering our defeat with genocidal and apocalyptic propaganda.

So will we get factual information now?
“Failure to hold accountable the grotesque abusers of our public resources for their personal gain would make a mockery of every taxpayer…We should expect nothing less than responsible, ethical government, not piggish thieves feeding at the trough.”

We are not being asked to sit in a trench. We are not being asked to sign a document that will get us hanged. We are being asked to stay engaged. That's it. After 250 years of Americans dying for this idea, that's all we owe. I wrote about it here.

Meta just paid the lowest effective federal tax rate in its history.
Thanks to tax breaks and loopholes, it avoided $13.7B in 2025 federal income taxes.
But now it's planning to lay off 10% of its global workforce (8,000 people) by May 20 — with more job cuts later this year.
Trickle down hoax.
If Democrats take over the house and the Senate, good luck getting any of Trump’s appointees through to replace these two right wing nut balls. Their fear of investigation and incarceration may be democracy’s long-term saving grace..
Hey everybody! I am taking the helm of this classic American institution with @theonion.com and want to know what you fine folks would like to see from us.
Reproductive care for women, is healthcare for women!!!
Trump says he’s going to the White House correspondents’ dinner this year, but the journalist from WSJ is getting an award for the piece/expose they wrote about Donald‘s 50th birthday letter to Epstein. He’s in the middle of suing WSJ for it. AWKWARD. I wonder if he knows lol. He’ll probably taco.😆🌮
THE WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENTS' ASSOCIATION MUST SEND A FORTHRIGHT MESSAGE TO PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP CONDEMNING HIS ATTACKS ON THE FIRST AMENDMENT To the Officers, Board of Directors, and Members of the White House Correspondents' Association (WHCA): We, the undersigned, call upon the White House Correspondents' Association to use the occasion of the White House Correspondents' Dinner, to forcefully demonstrate opposition to President Trump's efforts to trample freedom of the press. The dinner has long served as a symbol of the vital and irreplaceable role of a free press in American democracy and a celebration of the First Amendment and the journalists who uphold it. President Trump's systematic, sustained, and unprecedented attacks on the free press (detailed below) render his presence at such an event a profound contradiction of its purpose. The collective weight of the administration's actions - retaliatory access bans, coercive regulatory investigations, frivolous lawsuits against the press, defunding of public broadcasting, dismantling of international broadcasting, physical restrictions on journalists, personal verbal attacks on reporters, assaults on the media in official White House press releases and social media posts, the arrest of journalists, and the pardoning of those who committed violence against the press — represent the most systematic and comprehensive assault on freedom of the press by a sitting American president. There is a long tradition of presidents attending the White House Correspondents Association Dinner. But these are not normal times, and this cannot be business as usual with the press standing up to applaud the man who attacks them on a daily basis.
We understand that some journalists plan to wear pocket handkerchiefs or lapel pins with the words of the First Amendment. And continuing in that spirit, we believe the White House Correspondents Association should take stronger action by issuing - from the podium - a forceful defense of freedom of the press and condemnation of those who threaten that freedom, followed by a standing toast to the First Amendment and a pledge to continue upholding such a critical cornerstone of our democracy. Speak forcefully, in front of the man who seeks to undermine our country's long tradition of an independent, strong, and free press. We also urge the WHCA to reaffirm, without equivocation, that freedom of the press is not a partisan issue and that the Association will not normalize this behavior but instead fight back against any officeholder who has waged systematic war against the journalists whose work the dinner celebrates.
100s of journalists — Dan Rather, Sam Donaldson, Jackie Judd and others — have written to the WHCA asking to take a stand against Trump’s efforts to trample freedom of press.

Sen. Chris Murphy on skipping the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, which Trump is attending:
“I don’t see any value in attending what is supposed to be a celebration of the free press with a guy who has spent the last year taking a sledgehammer to the First Amendment.”
If the White House Correspondents Association, which organises the dinner, had any integrity they would have disinvited the president and all officials of his administration and made the dinner the celebration and promotion of independent and of need be adversarial journalism these times require.
As Breaker first reported, CBS News has invited both Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller to be guests at their tables at the White House Correspondents' dinner just days after Ellison's cocktail soiree.
You might or or might not (but I’m guessing might not) be surprised to learn that CBS News invited Stephen Miller to be their guest at the White House Correspondents Dinner.
Hegseth, too.

If journalists had any integrity and courage, they would boycott the White House Correspondents Dinner. It should be as empty as a TPUSA event.
Technically, I think “piracy” is the correct & legal definition.
Congress isn’t involved so, these aren’t back by any U.S. law, & the U.S. has no claims on those waters.
this is just piracy
It is likely that Trump's Iran catastrophe will lead to some kind of compensation for all the countries the US has screwed (which is all of them). We would do well now to lay groundwork for seizing assets of the Palantirs and Musk fortune that enabled Trump's rise and invasion.
A large crowd as always at the weekly march in Tbilisi. Georgians have been protesting in 8+ cities every day for the last 507 days.
When the "war" Secretary reads a pseudo bible verse adapted from a movie like Pulp Fiction, we're all in deep shit together, because that means the Secretary of Defense, who drops bombs on a foreign country, is not a serious person and models himself after characters in action movies.
