John Roberts' wife is not the only Supreme Court spouse to shake down people with business before the court to give bribes. Ginni Thomas has a "consulting firm" (AKA a PO Box for checks) to funnel money to Clarence. #Corruption
Screenshot of a tweet by Rep. Ro Khanna (@RoKhanna) praising a breakthrough in pancreatic cancer research, calling it "the best of America" and noting that lead researcher Dr. Balachandran is the son of Indian immigrants and works at Sloan Kettering. He quote-tweets Ian Weissman, DO (@DrIanWeiss...), who reports that an mRNA pancreatic cancer vaccine showed lasting results in an early trial, with nearly all responding patients still alive six years later.
Science leads to amazing breakthroughs. Immigrants lead to amazing science.

What is one concrete, realistic step that should be taken now to protect the midterms?
We reached out to non-partisan voting experts with this simple but urgent question.
Here are their suggestions 👇
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.
Nius hetzt gegen Migranten, trans Menschen, verbreitet völkisches Gedankengut. AfDler freuen sich über die Hilfe bei der Normalisierung, sagen, Nius sei für sie eine Brücke: »Sie hilft Leuten, die eigentlich eher zur CDU tendieren, ohne Umwege zu uns herüberzulaufen.«

❌ Don't let Farage's Reform UK win in Wales.
✅ Vote Plaid Cymru on 7 May to stand up for Wales, protect our NHS, and stop their Trumpian style politics.
Foto eines zweifarbigen Abzugs mit einem stilisierten Mast, auf dem Überwachungskameras in leuchtendem Rot angebracht sind. Durchbrochen wird das Bild von den in Blauschwarz gehaltenen, aus George Orwells „1984” zitierten Zeilen „War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, Ignorance is Strength”. Ich habe die Zeilen um die Zeile „Palantir is Safety” ergänzt.
Während hierzulande Grüne, SPD, CDU, CSU und AfD zwanghaft an Palantir festhalten, veröffentlicht deren Konzernspitze ein faschistisches Manifest, welches offene Kulturen als regressiv bezeichnet und Effizienz über Ethik stellt.
Ich habe die Haltung mal als 1984 Zitat in ehrliches Blei gesetzt:
Für die SPD wird es höchste Zeit, das sinkende Schiff der fossil geprägten Politik zu verlassen und ins Rettungsboot aus sozialer, ökonomischer und ökologischer Vernunft zu wechseln – sonst rückt die 5-Prozent-Hürde schnell nah.

Cartoon showing a map of the Middle East: Iran is occupied by a skeleton in ayatollah's clothing raining down missiles from his eye sockets on the Strait of Hormuz, while Trump takes aims with a bazooka. Netanyahu is in a soiled diaper also shooting at Iran, while crushing Palestinian children. Various other leaders surround the scene.
This brilliant cartoon by Tunisian cartoonist Z inspired me to write a short piece for @cartoonmovement.com about the unchanging nature of political cartoons through time: cartoonmovement.substack.com/p/the-least-...

“The wrongs which we seek to condemn and punish have been so calculated, so malignant and so devastating that civilization cannot tolerate their being ignored because it cannot survive their being repeated.”
—Justice Robert H. Jackson, Chief American Prosecutor, Nuremberg, 1946

If you’ve read the thread posted by palantir on X and are shocked, please read this piece that @tlecaque.bsky.social and I wrote 9 months ago. Palantir has not been shy about its fascist agenda, and neither has Karp, who has been rambling about Western Supremacy in text & video form for a while now
Dafür ist Geld da: Studie: Ohne Reichensteuer fehlen 380 Milliarden Euro Abgeordnete bekommen ab Juli wohl knapp 500 Euro mehr Mehr als 108 Milliarden Euro für das Militär hier müssen wir sparen: Merz: „Sozialstaat von heute nicht mehr finanzierbar"

We better wake up to what’s happening online. The right isn’t just posting anymore; they’re scaling influence with AI.
📌 AI-generated pro-Trump “influencers” are surging on social media and are starting to shape what people see and believe.

As an answer to the classic “What would Jesus do?” question, “start robot wars” would be an unconventional response, to put it mildly. And yet, here we are.
A rising group of tech elites is wrapping artificial intelligence in Christian theology—and the Trump administration is listening.
