Everytime some MAGA bizbro says “we need less red tape” remember what they really mean is more cancerous soot in the air, more disease in the water, more access to cheat finances, and more diarrhea in your lettuce. Government is a good thing when used appropriately.

I’ve seen enough. Wemby is a dirty player. It’s really disappointing.

They’re packaging it like this so it looks like a shallow trend, but Gen Z has gone through two financial crises, a pandemic, rising fascism, active shooter drills since they were toddlers, and are now being told by the oligarchy they’re to be replaced by robots. Socialism is the logical conclusion.

Wolves come up short. Spurs deserved the game. Better team tonight and refs didn’t cost the game. But that Brothers incident was ridiculous and unprofessional. A ref who has the demeanor to go after a coach has no business being an NBA playoff ref.

@jonkrawczynski.bsky.social How did Finch answer about Ant’s status? TV cut away just as the question was asked 🙄.

That Palantir would do this is both shocking—not because this is some weird heel turn, but because it is a fully mask-off moment for tech bro fascisti—and also the least surprising thing from a company that has always been creepy as fuck.

⚠️ Palantir released what it describes as a vision for “The Technological Republic” in which it argues AGAINST democratic and cultural pluralism and FOR militaristic supremacy enforced by a technocratic elite who produce AI weaponry. These points stand out:

Perhaps Magyar's most important promise, and the one that certainly resonates with voters: "never again a country without consequences!" The crowd chants: "To prison! To prison!" [with the corrupt officials of the outgoing government]

People will be closely studying how Hungary's opposition pulled off their win in such a pro-incumbent system. Important to note that the theme was corruption. Democrats need to get much better at calling out Trump's corruption.

Why are markets reacting to this? We’ve now claimed victory like 10 times, “obliterated” Iran’s military multiple times only to ask for help from our allies, and claimed we were negotiating which Iran then denies. Why does the market move on Trump’s lies?? www.theguardian.com/business/liv...

The president of the United States, folks.😕 Surely all who condemned the Charlie Kirk reaction will condemn Trump for this. Right? (cc: @MarshaBlackburn ) Our kids are watching.

After months of relentless rapid response in Minneapolis, members of Defend the 612 had a moment to breathe and reflect on the lessons they’ve learned, the grief they carry, and the citywide fellowship they hope will endure. The crisis is not over, and I’m grateful they made time to speak with me.

“This extreme closeness, togetherness and intimacy — you cannot infiltrate your way into a space where you'll understand that," says May, a rapid responder in Minneapolis.

The only question left by the Supreme Court decision on tariffs is: What the fuck is wrong with Thomas, Alito, and Kavenaugh? The Constitution could not say more clearly that only Congress has the power to impose taxes. Can't those three justices umderstand a simple, direct English sentence?
