Another reminder. Anne Frank and her sister Margot didn't die in gas chambers. They died of Typhus due to overcrowding at Bergen-Belsen women's camp, which also experienced outbreaks of tuberculosis and typhoid fever.

So uh Ring just up and said they've got a huge centralized private surveillance network they can leverage all at once huh

america could be such a cool fucking place if we’d just let it be

kind of funny that an olympian said they are here to represent "compassion, respect, and love for others" and some people automatically knew that was a statement against them

I personally do not think some rich man should be able to buy an institution like this like a toy and then break it when he doesn’t want to play with it anymore. bsky.app/profile/benm...

Man on a local news street interview: The earth is a resort for like 500 rich people and the rest of us are just the staff.

This shit hits like a sledgehammer right now. It's not even remotely an exaggeration.

Video from this morning shows ICE agents deploying tear gas outside a Minneapolis preschool as parents shout, “This is a preschool! There’s kids here!”

This is the kind of stuff that makes me feel like the "we are winning" vibe is a little much right now. If anything, we've gotten, like, four yards while pinned at our own goal line. Maybe, for a minute, a bit of breathing room. But this barbaric stuff absolutely cannot stand.

If Stephen Miller is still in the White House, that means the white nationalist gameplan is still all systems GO.

What we're witnessing is just window dressing and distractions.

Tom Homan is just as bad as Bovino, but less openly Nazi.

Keep your eyes wide open.

if bovino is out and conservatives are turning on noem then there is a real opportunity to demand that miller resign too.

Tide might be turning. Keep pushing. Keep calling, donating, protesting, all of it. Don’t stop, especially if Trump starts throwing them overboard. Don’t stop until they’re all gone

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”

That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

Americans have a habit of trying to compare all authoritarianism to Nazi Germany. I think in some ways i think it is comforting to view authoritarianism as a foreign ideology. If you want to understand our current authoritarian moment, you need to look to our own past, not to Europe 1/x

Dave Matthews and Tim Ryenolds playing Neil Young’s Ohio last night and ends with some Rage Against the Machine.

Really hard to look at this and all the other examples of bravery and kindness from ordinary people in this moment not think also of the tremendous cowardice exhibited over the past year by some of the richest, most well-protected people in business, media and politics

I interrupt my vacation in Mexico City to say that I, too, would sign with the back-to-back World Series champions for $240M if I could.

Don’t blame the Dodgers or Tucker. Blame your team’s owner instead.

Banning medical care for trans kids doesn’t stop them from being trans. It just makes their lives into a horrible nightmare.

Every week, I see at least one headline that’s exactly this tweet.

1977: why would the bartender in star wars even care if some robots with artificial intelligence came into his bar

2025: ohhh ok

Me, watching Andor, when the obscure Arvo Pärt musical quote (Fratres) dropped

Department of Education Eliminates Grant for PBS Children’s Shows

The PBS Kids app is one of the few things you can trust your kids to play around with on a computer. All the shows that you can stream are good and entertaining. Nothing positive comes from getting rid of this, they're just trying to make life worse for everyone www.nytimes.com/2025/05/06/u...

How creative do you think they will be to solve First Base internally, considering the rough trade market?

Do you see any possibility that they ask Yoshida to try the position? That might require a whole lot less throwing…

Or, even stranger, moving Story to first and calling up Meyer?

This was supposed to be a joke.

From $500 to $5000: millennials are watching their monthly student loan payments skyrocket under Trump and panicking on TikTok Millions of college grads are facing nightmarish monthly student loan payment jumps due to Donald Trump's changes to income-driven repayment plans.

Too bad reporters at outlets like the NYT and CNN were too fucking incompetent to talk about student loan repayment plans BEFORE the election finance.yahoo.com/news/500-500...

My 6yo spent last year on the Brewers and has switched allegiances this spring to the local little league Nationals. He is so confused why I called him Tony Plush and keep quoting the greatest baseball article of all time @baumann.bsky.social

A reminder for these times.
