I mean. They’d be innocent even if they WERE related, because that’s not how guilt works.

Uhhh… welcome? There’s, uhh, pie and punch in the back.

Weird how they think Spirit Airlines is too big to fail but American democracy is not.

F.B.I. Said to Have Investigated Times Reporter After Article on Patel’s Girlfriend

This is the kind of thing where, if you are a Democrat in charge, you haul Kash Patel's ass in front of a committee and give him one of the worst days of his miserable life. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/22/u...

Yes, I agree, Microsoft should have an "A.I." (Abolish ICE) button in every app.

She is the best pure talent currently on the national stage.

C.D.C. Cancels Publication of Study Showing Benefits of Covid Vaccines

The acting head of the CDC has canceled the publication of a study that found that the Covid vaccine sharply cut the odds of hospitalizations and emergency visits last winter

He is so cute! Congrats on the new family member

And, without fail every update to every app, website or piece of software in recent memory has made it more irritating in some way. This isn't just me "preferring things how they used to be". Bugs are never fixed - all updates do nowadays is shoehorn in some sort of vaguely irrelevant bullshit.

I'm done. If it requires an app and an account, I'm out. If it requires monthly payments, I'm out. I'm tired of paying more time, attention, privacy, and money, for the minimum viable experience they can get away with delivering.

Trials. From top to bottom, the whole chain, from the White House to those pressing the button.

as it becomes clear that Yes has won in VA and gerrymandering will pass, a message to Republican voters:

you brought this on yourselves

you convinced the most fairness-obsessed, That Wouldn’t Be Fair-minded voters in the country to affirmatively vote to put you in the dumpster

you earned this

Fred from Scooby-Doo unmasking the bad guy at the end of a mystery, in two frames. First frame: Left side: a tied up man in a white featureless mask with eye holes. The caption over him in impact font reads, "SOMETHING I USED TO LOVE SUCKS NOW" Right side of frame, Fred has his hand on the mask, about to pull it off. The caption on him reads, "LET'S SEE WHO'S BEHIND THIS." Second frame: The unmasked bad guy has a pencil thin curling mustache, a pointy nose, and dark hair, with a widow's peak. The caption on him reads, "PRIVATE EQUITY"

Evergreen

I would submit that a gerrymander by politicians saying fuck the voters and one by voters saying fuck the politicians are two wholly different animals

"Part of the reason the weaponization work has been difficult is that you need people who are MAGA and who are really competent," said Chad Mizelle, former chief of staff for Bondi. "Many career prosecutors are not interested in this kind of work. It's a very small group of people."

Yet again I remind everyone (as Elizabeth does in her very next tweet) that "foreigners are corrupting our pure blood with weakness & disease" is Fascism 101. Not some variant, not some metaphorically similar thing, not some echo -- the thing itself.

surely no army in military history has ever been laid low by disease, a famously uncommon problem among people living in enforced close quarters

We're going to waste so much money on reparations for this DOJ (if we're lucky).

Watch how swiftly fake quotes get attributed to “S. Drimmer” now.

Thing is, this is exactly what ChatGPT was designed to do. Namely, jackhammer the grounds of truth beneath our feet. Whether the product is “good” or not is irrelevant. Its purpose is to remove people from acts of discernment.

ICE detained more than 70 Minnesota children, data reveals Immigration officials detained more than 70 Minnesota children between Dec. 1 and March 10, a Sahan analysis of court records and federal deportation data shows.

70 Minnesota children.

Delta Air Lines, who likely flew nearly all of these kiddos out of MSP, could publicly condemn this and end the practice tomorrow, as the airlines did in 2018 with family separation, but it’s easier to stay silent.

A screenshot of a post on X (formerly Twitter) by Magyar Péter (Ne féljetek), with the handle @magyarpeterMP. The post reads: "Until 31 May, the Orbán puppets may voluntarily step down from their positions. This applies to the President of Hungary, the President of the Curia, the President of the National Office for the Judiciary, the President of the Constitutional Court, and the Prosecutor General. On 12 April, the Hungarian people voted for a complete political transformation. If these officials do not step down voluntarily by 31 May, then — on the basis of the mandate received from millions of Hungarians — we will remove them from office." At the bottom, the timestamp reads "3:04 AM • Apr 21, 2026" alongside "19.9K Views".

Peter Magyar is not playing around at all. He's going to purge every single remnant of corrupt Orbanism. This is exactly how Dems need to be when they retake power.

SAVE Act Fails, Millions of Voters Retain Their Right to Vote for Now MONTGOMERY, Ala. – The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) applauds the U.S. Senate’s rejection of the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) America Act, a sweeping anti-voter legislation pushed ...

“We are glad the SAVE Act died in the Senate. We are grateful to every senator who stood firm against it. To every American who called, wrote and organized to make their voice heard, thank you – your voice matters." #BlackskyNews

Please show your power! Shut it down. (In Minnesota we are patronizing local businesses hurt by Metro Surge, but no national or regional chains.)

Man, when you compare the bravery of every day Minnesotans to the overpaid cops it’s astounding

No more special privileges for cops: no more qualified immunity, no more carve outs in gun legislation, no more face masks and blacked out badge numbers.

If they are going to leave a state representative for half an hour they don't get to pretend to be badasses. They can make do like everyone else.

Newly released records detail police response to lawmaker attacks Authorities first identified Vance Boelter as a suspect within three hours of the start of the politically motivated rampage.

Newly released records on the police response to the assassination of Melissa Hortman show officers knew a woman was lying motionless on the top of the stairs inside the Hortman home but waited 30 minutes to physically check on her.

People saying things like “Remember back during COVID…”/“that was terrible” reminds me of the end of a horror movie after the protagonist thinks they’ve finally vanquished the killer, and then up he pops again. Unless you’re still actively protecting yourself, you’re not safe.

I don't want to be living my life inside these same fucking walls for what feels like the millionth year but everyone decided that endless mutating COVID variants and being sick all the time is "the new normal" so fuck me and my family I guess!

A clip from The New York Times reads: "But only the entities that officially paid the tariffs are eligible to recover that money. That means that the fuller universe of people affected by Mr. Trump’s policies — including millions of Americans who paid higher prices for the products they bought — are not able to apply for direct relief. The extent to which consumers realize any gain hinges on whether businesses share the proceeds, something that few have publicly committed to do. Some have started to band together in class-action lawsuits in the hopes of receiving a payout."

The average American family paid $1,700 in tariffs last year, according to the bipartisan Congressional Joint Economic Committee. Few will ever see any of that money back. The refunds will go to companies, if doled out at all. What a joke.
