Listen to Todd Blanche—Trump’s nominee for AG—tell faith leaders that the Justice Dept is working with the White House to stop the shipping of abortion pills into banned states. “We will have victory, victory will be soon, and it will be permanent,” he said.
I think I have to use my cat’s nonplussed stare of judgement as a reaction meme
Meanwhile, here in the nyc ‘hood, a big water main break at 1st Ave & 14th St has traffic shutdown for blocks in all directions… a hot mess
The GOP has been fracking reality since 2004. The Dems never caught on. "...when we act, we create our own reality. And while you’re studying that reality — judiciously, as you will — we’ll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that’s how things will sort out."
Dr Oz: "This is corruption on the underlying system ... when everyone is doing it, that's a real pathology. Bc if you're not part of the corrupt system, you're a fool. When I'm lying to you & you know I'm lying & I know that you know that I'm lying, & on & on & on, that's how countries collapse."
"The threat, which Reuters is reporting for the first time, was emailed on May 13 by Chief Examiner Fatima Batie to many of the agency's mid-level supervision staff as they were preparing to resume inspections of financial firms following a long hiatus"

This isn't a thing. It doesn't exist.
FLAG: Trump gets to keep tax immunity for himself, his sons, and the Trump Organization under the new 'deal' struck by Todd Blanche. The new order also reaffirms that Trump won't have to pay any taxes he might have owed the IRS.
However horrible you think the Tate brothers are, I promise, it's worse than that. It's insane that Dems aren't making a bigger deal of the GOP embracing these grotesque monsters.
The Tate Brothers' Should Be The Trumps' Second Epstein Scandal
The truth is much worse than most people realize, and they knew a lot of it.

It’s hard to explain but tv was better when you couldn’t watch the show you wanted whenever you wanted to watch it and most of the shows were worse and the TVs were worse and the entire experience was worse, that’s when it was better
Why we need to strangle Palantir and Flock in their corporate beds. What this administration would do with this level of surveillance.... Imagine Stephen Miller with this kind of power? Add AI to the mix and the mind boggles at the result.

I'm not sure folks have realized just how crazy the second half of 2026 and 2027 will be for global temperatures – on the back of a record-smashing El Niño event. Here is my latest estimate of where both years will end up compared to global temperatures since 1850.
One of the most black-pilling things I ever experienced as a sociologist was getting to see in real time just how much everyday life could be changed in 2020-21 and then reactionary fash forces being like “lawl nope” and gleefully making life worse.
What I hate about COVID downplayers is… you won okay. In the aftermath of humanity coming together to develop the most crucial vaccines of our lifetime & collectively sacrificing to save lives, we are now less safe, less vaccinated & less empathetic than ever. You won ok. Lay down your swords.
