Bordeaux, France, has now recorded more days above 40°C in 2026 alone than during the entire 105-year period from 1920 (when observations began) to 2025. This is deeply shocking.

i'm from ohio. I lived one suburb over from Moreno during 2020. And when my immunocompromised uncle was gasping for his last breaths, alone, dying of COVID on the floor of his condo. Bernie Moreno can shut. the. fuck. up.

If you were "stunned" by Trump's hateful rambling performance, then you haven't been paying attention for the last decade. If you sat in "silence" while Trump attacked democracy and elections, then you have learned nothing. We need an independent, pro-democracy media. demdock.com/4w6emld
What some call "unused land" is often the last safe haven for countless living creatures. Wetlands are not empty spaces waiting to be developed. They are nurseries for birds, natural water filters, flood defenses, and wildlife habitats that cannot be replaced once lost.
Ossoff and Warnock should sue Trump on Thursday at 10pm. Bury him in discovery.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 3w agoOssoff: "We understand the president may be threatening to declare sitting senators illegitimate. If that's the course of action he pursues, he's calling GA voters illegitimate...he was humiliated as a committed lifelong racist that it was Black voters in Georgia who were instrumental in his defeat"
REP. @repwalkinshaw.bsky.social: “They don’t want body cameras, they don’t want the 🇺🇸 people to see up close & personal the death & destruction. If there was body cam footage of these 2 incidents the level of outrage across 🇺🇸 would be exponentially higher.”

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo's son: I am calling for a full investigation into the events that transpired on July 7. He did not deserve to be reduced to a headline of Mexican man shot and killed by ICE. He deserved to live a quiet life as Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a husband, a father, and a job creator.
Misogyny. This specific political tendency is called misogyny.
Sean T. Collins@seantcollins.com · 4w agoI don't know what to call the specific political tendency represented by Ryan Grim, Ken Klippenstein, Matt Stoller, Michael Tracey, Glenn Greenwald, Matt Taibbi, and Zaid Jilani, mostly because words sort of fail, but it isn't "the Left."
Who knows if there will be a final agreement. But if there is, two things will be true at the same time: a) It's essentially surrender to Iran. b) We should be glad about it, because every day this insane, illegal war continues, we get weaker. 1/ Let me explain.

Trump, Musk and Rubio slashed aid and scoffed that it was woke nonsense. Now they're seeing that it not only saved one life every 10 seconds but also protected us from diseases like Ebola. Their actions constituted a security failure as well as a moral one. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/03/o...

New York City is the media capital of the country. Delaney Hall is nine miles from Manhattan. There is zero reason to not have wall to wall coverage of the hunger strike, the horrific conditions and ICE violence. The indie journalists need strength in numbers, and not just during business hours.

Extremely normal and fine for a company to put this in a public statement
elia ayoub@ayoub.bsky.social · 4mo agoPalantir put out the most cartoonishly evil statement possible. They’re so arrogant and self-confident they don’t seem to believe their fascistic plans can be opposed. We must get rid of Palantir altogether. twitter-thread.com/t/2045574398...
April 2: guards cut all phone access in the housing units without warning. When detainees protested, CRS officers allegedly punched a man, threw another to the ground, kicked him in the head, and pinned him by the neck. A third detainee's wrist was broken. The entire cage was pepper-sprayed.
Alligator Alcatraz phones were cut off. Then the beatings began, court docs say
Attorneys say the Trump and DeSantis administrations are disregarding a court order requiring access to phones and attorneys for detainees.

One of the most brazenly corrupt events in history will take place tomorrow when Jared Kushner represents the U.S. in critical negotiations with Iran to end the war while he accepts millions in fees (and billions in investments) from the Saudi gov’t which has been lobbying Trump to continue the war
If Trump were a proven Kremlin asset, what would he do differently?
Mark Chadbourn@chadbourn.bsky.social · 4mo agoTrump will discuss a potential US withdrawal from NATO with NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte later, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt announced.
People need to understand that the party in the minority has very few options to stop or control what happens in Congress. If you don’t understand that, then you’re likely to fall for all the people blaming Democrats.
Apparently the US is taking Iranians in this country hostage now:

Two-year-old Kaleth is being locked away at the Dilley trailer prison. He is getting sicker with each passing day. He will not eat the food CoreCivc serves, which detainees have said sometimes has mold and worms. He now has a fever.
There’s one thing stupider than spending 1.5 trillion to lose a war to a middle power in the Middle East, and that is spending 1.7 trillion to do so.
