So reciprocal tariffs and boycotts on all US goods until he stops threatening to colonise a peaceful European-owned country

Grok is so much worse than you think.

Ex-U.S. Attorney Rips Trump's DOJ Probe Of Walz And Frey: ‘Different Level Of Outrage' “It's gotten worse in the last week or two before he was doing tawdry, petty, nasty personal recrimination,” said former federal prosecutor Harry Litman on MS Now.

“It's gotten worse in the last week or two before he was doing tawdry, petty, nasty personal recrimination,” said former federal prosecutor Harry Litman on MS Now.

this crystallizes why, despite truly heroic solidarity and activism, i can’t quite get in the “we’re going to win” mindset right now. the harm is so active and there’s so much violence we don’t even know about. people are being turned into ghosts.

DOJ Resignations Over the Renee Good Shooting Confirm Our Worst Fears Justice officials are obviously trying to insulate Jonathan Ross from accountability. And four senior career people couldn’t take it anymore.

Excessive force by officers is not new. What is novel for the United States is the use of federal power afterward to stifle investigation and shield wrongdoing.

That path is unprecedented and indefensible. trib.al/SRjZES5

You can't have all the benefits of equality without the equality, but she could stop working. Others will serve Elon Musk and do racist podcasts. She's right that her work isn't helping anyone!

Amazing how anyone made anything before 2023!

Bulgarian Chicago business owner dies in ICE custody, sparking calls for 'immediate investigation' A Bulgarian business owner who lived in Chicago for decades and was arrested during an immigration enforcement 'blitz' has died while in the custody of ICE at a private prison in Michigan, the ABC7 I-...

His wife says they were refusing to properly treat his diabetes. The facility where he died is a private prison.

Jeffrey Epstein & David Walliams leading all the bulletins but Kemi Badenoch knows that only men from ‘different cultures’ pose a threat to women.

The story of Farage and Putin, told by British-Ukrainian soldier Shaun Pinner on a destroyed apartment block in Kyiv.

I've been thinking lately about how when Trump won last time many of the building that bore his name weren't actually owned by him - they licensed the name - and they removed the names from his buildings. He's trying to create a legacy for himself.

Trump’s assault on voting intensifies as midterms loom: ‘a wholesale attack on free and fair elections’ White House is manipulating voting system, from redistricting to rule changes, to affect midterms

“Those of us engaged in this fight are witnessing a wholesale attack on free and fair elections,” said Marc Elias, a prominent election lawyer involved in more than 60 election-related suits. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Trump is a physical rapist. But he's a spiritual rapist, too:

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

A promised vote on the ACA? See, they can’t include the ACA without having to bring the House back into session - and they’d have to swear in Grijalva. That’s what this is all about. Protecting the Epstein files.

one thing i find crazy-making is the idea that getting rid of the filibuster would make congress a purely majoritarian institution. bicameralism itself is counter-majoritarian! equal state representation is counter-majoritarian! the fact that senate elections are staggered is counter-majoritarian!

Hasan: Let me say to every Republican and conservative watching. Aren't you the ones that said no more big government? No tyranny in America? If you believe that, what are you doing defending masked federal agents in unmarked cars bundling people off the streets

Also, being scared to go to #NoKings in your big blue city or nice blue suburb feels extra dumb when you see these people doing it.

Video of ‘anti-fascists’ being attacked is AI deepfake of Portsmouth protest – Full Fact A video showing a group of people with an anti-fascist flag being attacked isn’t real—it’s an AI deepfake made using an old image.

A viral video shared with claims it shows “anti-fascists” being attacked is not real, and was made using an image from September 2024.

Clues such as the text on a flag changing halfway through are evidence the clip was made using artificial intelligence.

I was talking to a 22 year-old who is doing the same sort of work I am right now and through a weird twist in the conversation Gamergate was brought up and he looked honestly confused and said "wait, that was real?" and I've been thinking about it ever since. I don't know what to do with that.

Quick reminder that we don’t actually have to live like this, there are several men who have simply decided to allow it. For profit.

With awful news about Conor Gearty’s death, it’s apt to listen to & reflect on this searching & v recent discussion about the threats to human rights in Britain & what on Earth to do about it …

In his gentle tones he forcefully convey the answer is NOT just to lie down & accept that decency is over

But the libs were so triggered

What a stat.

Charlie Kirk's killing has shown Trump up as the self-serving hypocrite he is The Maga establishment is weaponising and politicising the shooting, and risks even more violence

“Donald Trump’s response makes explicit what was previously just below the surface in America. There is now a double standard for political violence, where violence against Republicans simply matters more to the President than attacks against anyone else.”

BBC under fresh pressure over extent of Reform UK coverage

What always makes me raise an eyebrow about scepticism towards phasing out fossil fuels is that it's inevitable. They're going to run out. Much of that oil needs to used for vital stuff like medical supplies anyway. This is just something we will have to do. Why even question it?

I don’t think the gulf between the heavily online & the rest of us has ever felt wider than this morning. And the nature of the former experience has changed beyond recognition since Musk gifted Twitter to the far right. So those of us who have left the platform don’t fully grasp what’s going on.

I Miss the “Adults in the Room” From Trump’s First Term During the president’s first administration, I rolled my eyes at the idea that experienced hands were working behind the scenes to restrain him. It’s clear now that I was wrong to dismiss it.

During his first term, Donald was surrounded by people (the theory went) who acted as guardrails—the widely touted “adults in the room” who watched over America’s first toddler president.

The adults haven't just left the room. They've left the building.
