Shreveport. What words are there for something like this. I am trying to tally the number of Black women and children shot at or killed in the last week because a man couldn’t handle that his intimate access to the woman was being ended. It’s too many.

EXCLUSIVE: Documents Reveal US Contractor’s Modifications of Spy Plane Just Before Flights Over Gaza A US defense contractor flew spy planes over Gaza. FAA docs show Sierra Nevada Corporation installed a military air traffic control device and surveillance equipment before the plane’s deployment.

“During the Vietnam War... every respectable artist in this country was against the war. It was like a laser beam. We were all aimed in the same direction. The power of this weapon turns out to be that of a custard pie dropped from a stepladder six feet high.”

Republican Mutiny Sinks Trump's Push to Extend Warrantless Surveillance A post-midnight revolt in the House sank the White House's efforts to extend Section 702—a spy program the FBI has used to look into members of Congress, protesters, and political donors.

NEW: 20 Republican lawmakers revolted last night over the White House's push to extend Section 702 surveillance powers without meaningful reforms to the warrant requirements for querying Americans' communications. @dell.bsky.social reports: www.wired.com/story/republ...

“you need to learn how to use ai” what the fuck are you talking about, how hard is it to type a prompt

I was so annoyed about wrong information on the internet that I decided to make a video about how non-trinary neutrinos move and what quantum tunneling is. Andy Weir may be more bestselling than me but I'm more expert lol 🧪⚛️

Thank you Senator Chris Van Hollen for sharing US citizen Rachel Corrie’s story from the Senate floor and voting to block the destructive bulldozers that Israeli soldiers used to kill her.

the mills always nail it

so, what should be the liberal attitude towards trump & the leaders of the movement be?

"society, as the protector of all its members, must retaliate on him; must inflict pain on him for the express purpose of punishment, and must take care that it be sufficiently severe"

YES! 🙌🏼

Think this might be my favorite set so far!

Awww, my little recovering Christian heart feels this so much! ❤️

Chris Coons wants more villages in south Lebanon to be obliterated and more Palestinians to die, it seems

Feel you, but SO many left-leaning people do, so I think pressuring him, which means knowing where he stands, is important.

Asked Sen. Booker how he’ll vote on Sanders’ resolutions to block 1000 pound bombs & bulldozers to Israel.

Said he was prepping for a hearing & we’ll see how he votes.

Along with demolishing Palestinian homes, Israel used a bulldozer to kill 23-year-old American Rachel Corrie.

It’s so creepy that these people see major declines in teen pregnancy as a bad thing.

Sen. Josh Hawley says he “probably will vote no” on Sanders’ resolutions to block 1000 pound bombs & bulldozers to Israel.

Said he’d still review it before the vote.

It's the Prices, Stupid Consumer sentiment is at an all-time low because prices are at an all-time high. Consumer sentiment isn't broken, popular government data is just incomplete

The index of consumer sentiment isn't broken; models that try to predict it just don't have the right input variables. I fix that and find that, yes, high nominal price levels explain why the vibes are so off. It's the prices, stupid

Screenshot of an article headlined “As Workers Struggle, Our Political Class Goes All In On a Permanent War State,” by Sarah Lazare, dated April 9, 2026. Below the headline is a large photo of a massive explosion erupting from a building, with thick black and gray smoke and bright orange fire shooting upward behind a web of overhead utility wires. The caption says the image shows a building hit by an Israeli airstrike in the southern Lebanese village of Abbasiyeh, near Tyre, on April 8, 2026.

"As programs for the poor are gutted and slashed, about half of the annual federal discretionary budget goes to the military."

@sarahlazare.bsky.social on the sadism and violence of a system choosing war over care.

🧵As we talk about sexual assault by the powerful (Swalwell, Gonzales), it's worth noting that sexual assault, of one kind or another, is a norm. Be horrified, but for the love of God, stop being surprised.

Do priests do it? Yes. Rabbis? ✅ Police? ✅ Teachers? ✅ Fathers? ✅ Artists, authors, actors?✅

I suspect the Pope sounds "woke" to many Christian conservatives because the US is steeped in prosperity theology, where the point of worship is to deliver health and wealth to believers. Thus, "feed the hungry" and "show mercy for the poor" sounds needlessly political and "woke."

Correct

Desecration or Curiosity: Orienting Ourselves Toward Space On Artemis, capitalism, and the logics of colonialism

See what y'all made me do lol

I can understand why a POC, like the OP that everyone is dunking on, might, given the history of the settler colonial imperial formation that is the United States, feel that in historical context, it wasn’t cute

Not the hill I’d die on but maybe be more curious about why it’s someone’s hill folks

Right now, all decisions about the moon 🌔 are being made by a small number of people from just a few countries, almost none of them democratically or semi-democratically selected

Whatever they do today will reverberate for generations.

So maybe a name isn’t a big deal. But what it signifies is. 🧪

The Artemis II flyby was not just a super cool jaunt around the moon! It was a test flight that’s part of a larger, extremely nationalist, plan to militarize and colonize the moon for AMERICAN interests

It is NOT “For All Mankind“

And everyone who makes fun of someone who asks the question:

Jesus is not a doctor

According to Donald Trump this is what he thinks a Red Cross doctor looks like. 😂 Throw his demented ass out of our White House.

“had to do with Red Cross, there’s a Red Cross worker there…” JFC
