@durbin.senate.gov isn’t running for reelection, which is good because I wouldn’t vote for him. Instead of acting like he has nothing to lose and taking big swings, he’s a coward. This is what people are going to remember about you, Dick.

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

It's an artistic representation of a circulatory system walking through a kitchen, as drawn by Dave Gibbons and written about by Alan Moore. It happens a lot 'round here.

Happy There Is A Circulatory System Walking Through The Kitchen Day to all who celebrate.

Major Joy vibes, for sure.

@iwriteok.bsky.social Which one of today’s crop of bastards are you most excited to dig into and feature on the show? Seeing a pic of Bovino’s rictus grin inspired me to ask.

🔴 In the past 24 hours, Gaza’s Health Ministry reported an additional 63 killed (60 of whom were recovered from the rubble) and 39 injured arriving at hospitals.

This brings the recorded death toll from the Israeli genocide in Gaza to 67,869 and 170,105 injuries (likely 3-5x higher).

welcome to the new era of CBS News, where brave truth-telling takes precedence over spelling Zohran Mamdani’s name correctly

I bet his wife has a small dolphin and a butterfly/rose combo.

I’ve been in a major depressive episode for the past month (summer, amirite?), but @yourkickstartersucks.com is giving me hearty belly laughs on a VERY consistent basis. Marathoning the ~400 I have left just might get me through this. Thank you, gentlemen (Producer Dan included).

I hope you talk to a therapist ASAP so you can work through your trauma.

It’s really fun, and god knows Quora is a bottomless pit of material. The bonus episodes (via Patreon - totally worth it!) go into other sites and things often get really weird.

Surely you must listen to @quorators.bsky.social and their Christian Baby discourse?

How’s about you and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social stop posting and DO SOMETHING????? People are suffering & Dems are worthless. Voting means nothing.

In April, President Trump and Salvadoran President Bukele shook hands in the Oval Office to celebrate a deal to ship gang members to the notorious CECOT prison.

But a new ProPublica investigation found there’s more to the story. 🧵👇

Reggie Watts statement, 1 of 2: “I was disappointed to see that Thom's statement centers his hurt feelings and frames his fans' demands for him to speak up as a "social media witch hunt," instead of recognizing the urgency of their call for him to speak out against the world-historical humanitarian crisis in Palestine. I hope Thom will reflect and decenter himself from the public outcry against the genocide, because if he and his artistic legacy stand for love and humanity as he asserts, he can come to see his fans' actions as an act of loving solidarity with suffering people-a needed affirmation of our humanity in these dark times.”

Reggie Watts statement 2 of 2: “I also want to address Thom's repetition of a common rhetorical tactic of those who are devoted to maintaining the status quo, that one cannot speak up or demand an end to the genocide unless they fully understand the deep "complexity" of this historical conflict. I urge Thom's fans to reject this conviction-neutralizing, demobilizing sentiment and trust their hearts. You don't need to be a geopolitics scholar to know that starving children and slaughtering families is wrong. Your membership in the human family gives you authority and, indeed, responsibility to speak up. All positive change starts with conscious and loving people raising their voices and working together to bring a better world into existence. Please keep fighting until our sisters and brothers in Palestine are free.”

Reggie Watts addresses Thom Yorke’s statement on Palestine and it’s good

Happy May 1st. The value of your labor belongs to you and the actions of the state are best understood as as a coordinated effort to distract you from this. The state fears an organized and unified proletariat like it fears death and rightly so. Power to the workers and power to the people

Now I get why The Beach Boys are scheduled to play Riot Fest.

So many fun little prizes! A long-since closed in Chicago used to have Honky Tonk Bingo and it was fun as hell. I won a bag of little cowboys / basically brownish army men with different hats.

(Zoomer Tiktok in sepia tone and old timey garb) yo this shirtwaist factory in New York City can produce thousands of women's blouses a day and employs hundreds of fallen women!

these people hate DEI because they would be unemployable in any system where they couldn’t rely on favoritism and nepotism

Vote for Kat!

Tricia McLaughlin & @TriciaOhio 0... The narrative being pushed about Jose Hermosillo is false. On April 8, Hermosillo approached Border Patrol in Tucson and stated he had entered the U.S. illegally through Nogales. He said he wanted to turn himself in and completed a sworn statement identifying as a Mexican citizen who had entered unlawfully. He was processed and appeared in court on April 11. Afterward, he was held by the U.S. Marshals in Florence, AZ. A few days later, his family presented documents showing U.S. citizenship. The charges were dismissed, and he was released to his family. This arrest was the direct result of Hermosillo's own actions and statements.

In an interview with Popular Information, his first with any media outlet, Hermosillo said DHS'. 's account was false. According to Hermosillo, he was visiting his girlfriend's family in Tucson from his home in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Several hours before his arrest, Hermosillo was transported to a hospital in Tucson by ambulance after suffering from a seizure. He has a New Mexico state ID, but did not take it with him during the medical emergency. After being released from the hospital following treatment, Hermosillo did not know how to return to where he was staying. He approached the Border Patrol officer because he was looking for someone to help him. "I saw a car, and I askled] him for help," Hermosillo said. He told the officer that he was staying in Tucson.

"You" re not from here. Do you have your papers?" the officer said, according to Hermosillo. When the officer asked where he was from, Hermosillo said he told the officer, "New Mexico." The officer then accused Hermosillo of lying. "Don't make me lout] like [I'm] stupid," the officer said. "I know you're from Mexico." After that, Hermosillo said, he was arrested. Hermosillo said that he never told the officer that he was born in Mexico, was a citizen of Mexico, or entered the country illegally. And he would not have said those things because they are not true. He signed the transcript released by DHS because the officer ordered him to "sign everything." But Hermosillo did not read it, because he cannot read. According to Hermosillo's girlfriend, Grace Hernandez, Hermosillo has learning disabilities and can only write his name. Hermosillo said he did not graduate from high school and dropped out after the 10th grade.

The officer also signed the document, which said Hermosillo "read" the document or had it read to him. But Hermosillo said no one read him the document. Other documents created by the officer have inaccuracies. For example, the criminal complaint says that Hermosillo was detained "at or near Nogales, Arizona." But Hermosillo was detained in Tuscon, which is more than 70 miles from Nogales. John Mennell, a spokesperson for the U.S. Border Patrol, said that it was an "unintentional" error. Hermosillo said he was detained with about 15 other men in a cell at the Florence Correctional Center. He was served only cold food. He said he contracted the flu because "they have it cold in there and everybody's getting sick." Hermosillo said he requested medicine but was not provided with any.

A US citizen with a learning disability who has just suffered a medical emergency asks a CBP officer for directions outside the emergency room. He ends up detained in an icebox for ten days and has the assistant secretary of DHS lying about him to the public at large. popular.info/p/us-citizen...

Kneecap: Sharon Osbourne calls for US visas to be revoked after Coachella Kneecap performed at a music festival in California where they ended their set with pro-Palestinian messages.

@kneecapceol.bsky.social must really be torn up about this. Sharon hurt their feelings, but The Streisand Effect is going to rocket them into the stratosphere. 🍉🇨🇮#freepalestine

love a senator imploring regular citizens to fight back against tyranny. dawg you spent the last twenty years giving machine guns and tanks to traffic cops this is like pushing your toddler into the ring with ivan drago

oprah on Threads: My bestie @gayleking went to space! There's a sentence I never thought I'd say (Pic of Gayle King and Oprah next to Bezos' dick rocket) ohmalarkie reply: If I slapped your Book Club sticker on a book called The Fucking Room would you read it?

Magnificent tweet, deserves to live here too.

Everything they said that Obama was going to do when he took office is exactly what they’re doing. The purges, the roundups, the renditions, no checks on power - it’s happening for sure, but it’s years later and it’s them doing it.

The elastic at the ankle stops the items from falling to the floor, so I say load up! Your cargo capacity has just increased!

I was just thinking about how bad it’s going to be when Trump appoints a few new justices to the Supreme Court. Short of a military coup (of which I’d still be skeptical), we are done.
