it's unbelievable to me that someone could actually be a trillionaire. i think most of us have trouble internalizing how much money that truly is. let me put it in simple terms for you: a trillion dollars is three million dollars
In Minneapolis, people are literally singing resistance before marching to the hotels where ICE agents are staying—inviting them to defect and join us in solidarity. It’s an action rooted in compassion, courage, and collective humanity. Transforming fear into shared power.
Ripping up every government contract with these companies should be a priority on the same level as abolishing ICE.
SpaceX will acquire xAI, the company announced, representing a merger of two of Elon Musk's most ambitious companies.

NEW YORK (AP) — Judge rules that Luigi Mangione should not face the death penalty if convicted on federal charges in CEO's killing.
"Marriage [...] should prioritize the needs of children" is rich considering the religious right hates premarital sex. Unless they're talking about child marriage, in which case, par for the Pedophile Party course.
They're coming for gay marriage

Kind of a self-own to publish a list of heroes opposed to your administration, isn't it.
TOM HOMAN: “We’re going to create a database where those people that are arrested for interference, impeding and assault, we’re going to make them famous. We’re going to put their face on TV. We’re going to let their employers, in their neighborhoods, in their schools, know who these people are.”
they executed a nurse in the streets and frey and walz are flapping their mouths and saying nothing while democrats are writing checks to ICE
Delroy Lindo better get his Oscar this year
A buddy in MN shared a drawing a classmate of his kid made. They've been making thank you notes for parents who have volunteered to carpool them to school so their own parents don't have to risk waiting out by the bus stop.
Cripes a’mighty people, Steven Miller is not staging a militarized ethnic cleansing and sending the border cops to murder people in the street to distract from the Epstein files. He’s doing it because he and Trump (and Vance and Homan and Noem etc) really really want to.
Nothing says Quick Recognition like obscuring information by forcing you to access it via QR code. Just make them wear a badge with a name on it! They'll obscure both either way.
I am introducing the Quick Recognition (QR) Act, which requires ICE and CBP officers to wear uniforms featuring QR codes. When scanned, the code would generate a digital ID displaying the officer’s name, badge number, and law enforcement agency.
ICE should be unmasked both physically and digitally.
Every ICE officer should be tried for crimes against humanity.
The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

We have to get Pete Hegseth banned from Kalshi and Polymarket.
It would be really, REALLY funny if he was declared innocent of all charges.
Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.
Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.
There are going to be so many convictions based on faulty AI shit before any laws regulating the use of AI in criminal justice contexts are passed.
Rest in peace to Mike F, one of the all-time greats
I don't use IMDb to figure out who played a background character on Grey's Anatomy. I use it to learn that Teen Wolf is just as much a civil rights icon as Jackie Robinson.
George Bailey realizing Bert knows him and that he's back in the world he knows is just about the perfect movie moment.
Monstrous behavior. There is no way to hand wave something like this. Have a fucking backbone.
usually in these stand up specials when they cut to the audience it is people laughing and smiling but like 75% of the time in this it is the audience member looking legitimately distressed and like they might become ill, really good
This is 100% the correct (and obvious) move by Dems and they need to do it Every. Single. Time: counter Republicans strongarming companies/schools by openly and directly saying "we will be in charge in like a year and will absolutely make this cost you."

There might be no better example of the war coming home than a CIA trained teen death squad recruit getting asylum in the US and then shooting a bunch of soldiers who were deployed to DC for no reason other than Kabuki Security Theater
Reminder for everyone that Neil Armstrong used to look like a professional Dale Gribble cosplayer.
we must abolish ICE
I passed over a creek on my way to work that was maybe 10-15 feet higher after a night of rain. There's still a flash flooding warning as it continues to rain.
What kills me is that I'm pretty sure there are homeless people that camp out in that area and I have no idea how they're doing.
Man, the Riley Gaines episode of Pablo Torre Finds Out is a really great look into how Conservatives build an image for a wedge position by finding someone to lead a cause and making sure they never have to work an actual job. The grift in microcosm.

James E Ryan should be near the top of the next Democratic Dept of Education, if not leading it outright. Someone in his position who has seen firsthand how the conservatives have obliterated collegiate independence should guide the way in restoring it.
Former UVA president Jim Ryan, who resigned over the summer due to pressure from the Trump Administration, just shared this 12-page letter with the Faculty Senate, detailing his experience with the Board of Visitors and DOJ.

This is one of the greatest threads of all time
The defense team presses Lairmore on whether the sandwich really 'exploded.' They return to the photo of the sandwich and wrapper on the ground.
"That sandwich hasn't exploded at all, has it?" defense asks.
"It looks like a little bit is coming out towards the bottom," Lairmore replies.
One of the less-discussed downsides of moving is trying to remember all the things that have your address and need to be changed.
I'm fairly certain my first apartment is still listed as my address somewhere and I'm on my third apartment now.
First look at Naomi Ackie, Taylour Paige and Keke Palmer in Boots Riley’s I Love Boosters 💛
The film, also starring Poppy Liu, Eliza Gonzalez, LaKeith Stanfield, Will Poulter and Demi Moore will be released in theaters on May 22, 2026.
the only moral action is to abolish ICE and punish those who are members of ICE
ICE shot an American citizen and food bank worker who tried to block them arresting an immigrant by pulling his car in front of them.
After being released from hospital: "He is now facing charges for assault on a federal officer."

This is a tremendous service that I hope exists in some form across the country.

Everyone should have an apartment near their work. Shorter commute, sleep a bit later, let your boss have sex with the woman you like in the hopes that he'll promote you, etc.
