take my zoloft and i will make a ruckus!!!!!!!

Elon’s gonna manage his own conflicts of interest

The White House says it will bar the Associated Press from the Oval Office and Air Force One indefinitely due to the news outlet's use of Gulf of Mexico

Despicable.

So many people in the US are choosing to go the way of Gov. George Wallace in 1963: "Segregation now, segregation tomorrow, and segregation forever!"

Truly and utterly despicable.

God, so deeply evil

Elon Musk's DOGE Is Still Blocking HIV/AIDS Relief Exempted From Foreign Aid Cuts The Trump Administration claims it is allowing "lifesaving" foreign aid to continue, but in reality, DOGE is preventing vital work on HIV and AIDS from saving lives.

NEW: Trump says he's letting "lifesaving" foreign aid continue, but sources tell WIRED that DOGE is still blocking HIV/AIDS relief.

Musk brags he's "feeding USAID into the wood chipper."

A USAID worker tell us: “At a minimum, 300 babies that wouldn’t have had HIV now do."

“I think sometimes genre is a code word to keep us in our place as artists, and I just want to encourage people to do what they’re passionate about” - Beyoncé after winning Best Country Album for “Cowboy Carter”

just so y’all know this is not a safe space for chris brown fans

only you can reclaim your attention span!

I hear you, but may I offer one critique? I think you forget that Trump is the herald of a movement, and that there is a national swath of people who only show up if he’s on the ballot. The right cannot get rid of him — they can only follow his whims and try to become his successor.

I don't get the sense that U.S. journalists have a good sense of who to talk to when basic government functions are being ripped out. Gutting the administrative state is not a standard beat. A short thread with some starter suggestions for who to read/talk to. Please - people add more in replies!

"DOGE does not have power over established government agencies, and Musk has no role in government. It does not matter that he is an ally of the President. Musk is a private citizen taking control of established government offices. That is not efficiency; that is a coup."

Seized implies that Trump isn’t still in charge. We need folks to contend with the scary truth that they are both in charge, and that Trump can’t be abdicated.

right like this is the main stage not an instagram photo shoot

I feel like tonight showed me ngl

if I had a nickel for every time a queen confused Jennifer Lawrence and Jennifer Lewis on drag race, I’d have two nickels… which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice #dragrace

Arriety’s was cool but like… missed personality. There was no character to it

This has been, by far, the worst week of news in my 9 years of covering trans issues.

California DOE fires back against Trump's executive order:

"It does nothing"

"It is against federal law for the White House to dictate what educators can and cannot teach"

Will not comply.

What the unprecedented bird flu outbreak in Massachusetts means for you The current bird flu outbreak in Massachusetts is the largest the state has ever seen. Here's why officials believe it has become so widespread and what residents should do to protect themselves (and ...

Officials say bird flu is “widespread in Massachusetts and likely present even in places where there has not been a confirmed positive."

What does that actually mean for you?

Montgomery County Public Schools comes out and tells Trump to pound sand with his EO telling schools that they have to discriminate against transgender students.

This is how you refuse to comply.

Deep Impact Soundtrack: The Hives — Hate To Say I Told You So In the last week or so, but especially over the weekend, the entire generative AI industry has been thrown into chaos. This won’t be a lengthy, tech...

Newsletter: The DeepSeek situation is a moment that should fill Silicon Valley with shame, a monument to the lack of vision and herd mentality of the American tech industry. OpenAI and Anthropic have no moat, no business, no innovation, and I believe no future.

Well yes, agreed! But Dem strategists seem hyper focused on X, where a smaller, politically aware contingent sits. We need to be meeting everyday people where they’re at, which conservatives have built an entire media ecosystem around
