The following is REAL footage from Portland, 2025. Viewer discretion is advised.

The elimination of USAID is a moral atrocity and all involved made a choice to enable, and then lie about, ending the lives of some of the most vulnerable people in the world.

Bondi senate hearing had a folder full of notes for attacking the senators

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in.

Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators.

The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism

In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Thinking of AI as a Social Problem No need to know the unknowable. The knowable is bad enough.

"AI is not just a technology. It is a social problem. There is zero reason to allow it to run us over without a plan to mitigate its completely predictable negative effects." Another must-read banger from @hamiltonnolan.bsky.social www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/thinking-o...

Hey Colossal - spend some of your money on saving this real bird!

Things are really looking up for tax cheats, polluters, greenhouse gases, and infectious diseases.

Good morning! You feel like you’re going crazy because their attempts to bludgeon you into submission with weaponized unreality aren’t working on you.

Keep it up. You’re doing great.

Last year, CNN ran a “fact check” of Kamala HQ that claimed we were lying for saying Trump’s plan is Project 2025.

Now Trump is outright admitting it’s his plan.

Legacy media failed the country.

This is it, and not just for higher Ed . Zero long-term planning, a society full of institutions run on a toxic combination of individual self-interest and pursuit of instant gratification. “This will be gone soon, how much of the copper wire can I get my hands on as it’s stripped from the walls.”

This is the kind of government you wanted, assholes! This is what crony capitalism does! It fucks with *everybody*! I wish you weren’t wasting my taxpayer dollars!!

ER doc here! This is a lie. Wait times are up because the American healthcare system is an unsustainable business model and a for-profit national healthcare system just doesn’t work. These problems will continue to get worse until we change that system. It literally has nothing to do with immigrants

We need clear communication with the people.

And if the government won’t meet people’s material needs during this shutdown, the party should.

It’s time to use our resources to help others, not just get candidates elected. More food banks, less fundraising.

"single-use plastic of the mind" had me GAGGED

When you always imagined yourself doing the deadly serious business of the hallowed White House Press Corps and instead you're taking dictation from an adolescent groyper who's somehow in charge of Treasury payments, it has to mess with your head.

According to IREC there are almost 450,000 Americans working in the solar, storage, and renewables industry. According to BLS, 42,000 people work in coal mining.

There are 3.8 million public school teachers and 2.7 million cooks, kitchen staff, or food servers.

I wonder if it’s bad that Congress is full of adults you wouldn’t trust to feed your cats while you went away for the weekend if they were your neighbors.

Real “but for Wales, Richard?” energy. Imagine selling your soul and helping ruin people’s lives for a billionaire’s couch change.

Whether it’s Fox News’s Brian Kilmeade advocating killing homeless people by “involuntary lethal injection” or MSNBC’s Matthew Dowd bringing up things that Charlie Kirk said, both networks have crossed the boundaries of decency.

You know who was also a young husband and father—not to mention ex-Marine—who died, not attacking others to make himself rich and powerful, but to save the lives of others?

David Rose, the officer killed by the anti-vax domestic terrorist who attacked the CDC.

It’s gonna be so weird watching establishment dems be performatively sadder about this than they were about the colleague and her husband and dog who got shot and killed
