YESSSSSS.

Opinion | Trump Corrupts, and Absolute Trump Corrupts Absolutely

“To say that President Trump is corrupt is to somehow understate the size, scope and magnitude of his corruption.

It is as if you were to describe a modern thermonuclear device as a ‘bomb.’ That is true enough, but it is not quite the truth. It does not capture the nature of the thing in full.”

Take away their power. No one should be so rich that they fear nothing.

“Send this woman to work an event three days after giving birth while her baby is in the NICU” is another.

Nothing surprises me any more about these disgusting men who have accrued too much wealth, but MrBeast leaving a company meeting to jack off because his head of Instagram was “pretty” and then his CEO TELLING HER THAT while it was happening is some Louis CK level shit.

TAX THE FUCKING RICH.

In retrospect, #MeToo was way too kind.

Like “oh now I understand the Reign of Terror” too kind.

Iran says it seized two ships in the Strait of Hormuz, hours after President Trump announced he would extend the ceasefire indefinitely. Follow live updates. https://cnn.it/4mLPNGs

To Fight Heat, NYC Sets 2040 Tree Canopy Deadline, With Riskiest Areas First How the plan will be funded is unclear. The Mamdani administration has not earmarked money for its tree-expansion initiative.

trees as cooling infrastructure! this is a fascinating story from @smaldo.bsky.social:

CDC won’t publish report showing covid shots cut likelihood of hospital visits The report, which had cleared the agency’s scientific-review process, had been delayed. It now won’t be published at all, people familiar with the decision told The Post.

SCOOP: Two weeks ago, the head of the CDC delayed publication of a report showing covid vaccine cut likelihood of ER visits and hospitalizations by half. Now that report is no longer allowed to be published in CDC’s flagship scientific journal. My latest. 1/2

AND YET, Dem leadership twiddles its thumbs.

I aspire to hate anyone as much as Louise Lucas hates the Republican Party of Virginia.

They gerrymandered her out of a Congressional run in 2001 and she spent 25 years plotting her revenge. Unbelievably iconic.

republicans will yowl and piss and moan and that to my mind is all the reason to do it

The last sentence of this is exactly what I'm looking forward to.

A Protester Threw a Snowball. Federal Agents Responded With Tear Gas and Pepper Balls. A new investigation from ProPublica and FRONTLINE examines federal agents’ response to protesters and bystanders at the Trump administration’s immigration sweeps. “We see, just, use of excessive force...

A new investigation from ProPublica and @frontlinepbs.bsky.social examines federal agents’ response to protesters and bystanders at the Trump administration’s immigration sweeps.

“We see, just, use of excessive force after use of excess force,” one expert said.

Could someone who still has a subscription for God knows what reason please post a gift link to this?

I’ll support any Dem that moves to kick Palantir off the public dole and out of doing business with the US.

Government could be like this everywhere.

AP-NORC poll:

Only 33% of U.S. adults approve of Trump's overall job performance

30% approve of his handling of the economy

32% approve of Trump's leadership on Iran

One of the most telling pics of the year ... so far.

It's a misdemeanor, but it's a start.

Notable about this: the ban begins at the moment of diagnosable pregnancy, which is 7-10 days after conception-- before a person misses a period.

It is a total ban.

If you are in SC, call your reps. A vote is expected soon.

Abortion bill that would increase penalties for doctors and mothers in SC advances A South Carolina abortion ban is one step closer to a Senate vote after clearing committee, setting up a tense debate over penalties and access.

One of the most egregious abortion bans in the country made it out of committee in South Carolina yesterday. It would make performing an abortion a felony punishable by up to 20 years in prison, and receiving one punishable by up to two.

Promotional graphic for an In These Times article titled, “After Decades of Quiet Rumbling, an Epidemic Is Erupting Among California Stoneworkers,” by Kayla Yup. The background photo shows a stoneworker inside a dim workshop, bent over a slab while wearing a respirator mask. Smaller text reads: “The engineered stone industry is worth nearly $30 billion. But the workers at its core are falling sick and dying from an illness called silicosis. Now these workers—most of whom are young immigrants—are suing manufacturers.” The In These Times logo appears at the bottom.

"People basically die from chronic suffocation."

The workers at the core of the billion-dollar manufactured stone industry are falling sick & dying from silicosis. Now these workers—most of whom are young immigrants—are suing manufacturers.

Supreme Court Won’t Hear Case About “Parents’ Rights” — Assigned A Massachusetts case about parents’ “right” to know if their kids are socially transitioning at school has been shot down by SCOTUS.

Courts once again dismiss an anti-trans lawsuit about "parents' rights" because the parents couldn't prove that they were wronged in the first place.

i think it is cool that the president of the united states routinely slurs black people as biological inferior

(when people show you who they are, believe them)

I am reeeeeeally interested to see which so-called "progressive" YouTubers plan to show up for the White House Correspondents Dinner as it glazes Trump.

A huge problem in Bed-Stuy, where I live, is deed theft. A very organized and courageous group is bringing attention to this, but the battle is hard.

Last week, they arrested a victim of this, district leader candidate Carmella Charrington. This morning, they arrested our CITY COUNCIL MEMBER.
