remember when they tried to tell us in civics class that the different branches of government were effective checks and balances on one another. that was funny

I hope you understand that if you show up at a hospital with an infection no one has ever seen before that the US had somewhere you could call. That place would answer, offer testing you can’t get anywhere else and come visit you to solve if necessary.

The world is a better place with you in it. I’ve never met you, but your content helps me be a less crappy human. Thank you 💞

BBC International Editor Jeremy Bowen has confirmed that the entire Al Jazeera team in Gaza City has been killed.

‘A million calls an hour’: Israel relying on Microsoft cloud for expansive surveillance of Palestinians Revealed: The Israeli military undertook an ambitious project to store a giant trove of Palestinians’ phone calls on Microsoft’s servers in Europe

Because I am angry I will share this again. One of the reasons that Israel is able to target individuals so precisely is that it collects every phone call in Gaza and stores the recordings in Microsoft Azure, then uses AI to analyze and pick targets.

A little bit of UK history for you, the party is called Labour because they’re doing the Conservatives work for them.

Fun fact but a lot of state rape laws have “voluntary intoxication” loopholes, where a victim being too intoxicated to consent isn’t legally cognizable as rape if she ingested alcohol or drugs voluntarily. In effect, intoxication only nullifies consent in these states if the victim is roofied.

Senator Elizabeth Warren: Firing of BLS commissioner is 'dangerous' Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass) joins CNBC's 'Squawk on the Street' to discuss her reaction President Trump's firing of BSL chief, whether Congress is able to take action, and much more.

Elizabeth Warren went to CNBC today and destroyed Donald Trump on the economy. Trump is trying to bury this appearance with a tantrum on his failing media site.

Make sure this goes viral instead.

ELIZABETH WARREN: What Zohran is saying is 'I want people to be able to afford to live in NYC'

FABER: But raising taxes in order to do it?

Civilisation is a relay race but Republicans keep tripping the runners

snail carved out of nephrite Jade. she’s at the v&a. photo by @mdahirel.bsky.social

we finally found her…snelphaba…

Here's how it works:

1) Habba resigns as interim US attorney, ahead of a Friday deadline
2) Trump withdraws Habba's nomination to take the job permanently
3) AG Bondi appoints Habba First Assistant US attorney
4) Habba automatically becomes acting US attoreny bc of the vacancy.

One troubling aspect I've seen in the discourse of even well-meaning people around Trump and Epstein is an assumption that there's a bright line between pedophiles and rapists who attack adult women.

There is not. Most rapists prefer young victims, even if they prefer adult sex partners.

An error message reads: Safari can't find the server "nca2023.globalchange.gov"

BREAKING: A source tells me that the Trump administration has shut down public access to every single National Climate Assessment, the Congressionally-mandated quadrennial report assessing how climate change is affecting the U.S.

BREAKING: 1 in 4 nursing homes say they will be forced to close if Republicans pass Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill.

No grandma should be kicked out of her nursing home so that Mark Zuckerberg can buy another Hawaiian island.

Shock announcement: NC Senator Thom Tillis just announced he is retiring, less than 24 hours after he opposed starting debate on his party’s mega bill.

His seat is up in 2026, and having it be an open seat sure changes the calculus and Democratic chances of flipping it.

I genuinely think that the Democratic establishment would rather a Republican became mayor than a progressive.

Here we see the Washington Post once again being a pathetic boot-licking shadow of their former well-respected self.

I really do wish progressives would stop using feminized slurs as pejoratives, though.

Meanwhile, millions are protesting nationally.

One of my friends who lives near LA participated in some of these and said it's DEEPLY SATISFYING and she highly recommends it.

has that dude had his little birthday boy tank man parade yet? it’s hard to tell because the only thing the news is showing right now is how much people around the country hate him

The New York Times front page.

I'm sorry but the largest protest of my lifetime is not the 7th or 8th biggest news story in the country behind "what does Gen Z want from Instagram?" This shit is humiliating. Rearrange your layout to meet this moment. Omitting the thing happening in every American city is malpractice.
