DSA won’t rule out primary challenge to Hakeem Jeffries 👀

Imagine the Olympics coming to LA in 2028

BREAKING: A federal judge in Massachusetts (the Reagan-appointed William Young) has declared the Trump administration's cuts to NIH grants — ostensibly over Trump's EOs on gender ideology and DEI — are "illegal" and "void." He's ordering many grants restored.

They will never stop acting like this because this is exactly the role they are paid to play in our society. Abolition now.

I don't need to hear another word from anyone defending the NYT ever again and I have to assume the talented reporters and writers employed there will understand.

This is Jenny McCarthy shit. Shameful and pathetic. Both sidesing scientists vs the stupidest people on earth. National Enquirer shit.

It took just 15 years to get from Citizens United to this

Frontrunner to replace the late Gerry Connolly as ranking member of oversight committee is actually older than he was

(Republican congressman)

its genuinely incredible that the government has been taken over by vandals, thieves, and bald-faced liars and the media is more or less reporting on them like they're normal heads of state

If our shitty representatives aren't going to do something to stop this fascist psycho, the academics are going to have to.

Stunning. May was brutal for Trump in federal court: 96% loss rate ⚖️. Even GOP-appointed judges have ruled against the admin 72% of the time. District courts are doing their job defending the Constitution. Soon the Supreme Court may be the only court unwilling to defend the rule of law.

I do understand that Biden’s inner circle covered up his decline. Got it. What I don’t understand is the same journalists and pundits pounding that story are ignoring this psychopath like it’s normal. I accepted Biden was old all along. I can’t accept this lunatic leading us.

motherfucker i will take every vaccine i can get if you dipshits open smallpox or polio up again I'll get it that. i love getting rabies shots. gimme all of it.

Actually, Porky Pig represents both the bourgeoisie (bow tie) and proletariat (no pants)

I am so fucking glad I no longer live in that absolute shithole of a state. Fuck that place.

There is no hell deep enough to contain the people involved with this

Rep. Laurel Libby, R-Auburn, recently used my second-place finish in the 1,600-meter run, and that of my teammate in the 800-meter run, to malign Soren Stark-Chessa, the trans-identified athlete who finished first. One of the reasons I chose to run cross-country and track is the community: Teammates cheering each other on, athletes from different schools coming together, and the fact that personal improvement is valued as much as, if not more than, the place we finish. Last Friday, I ran the fastest 1,600-meter race I have ever run in middle school or high school track and earned varsity status by my school’s standards. I am extremely proud of the effort I put into the race and the time that I achieved. The fact that someone else finished in front of me didn’t diminish the happiness I felt after finishing that race. I don’t feel like first place was taken from me. Instead, I feel like a happy day was turned ugly by a bully who is using children to make political points. We are all just kids trying to make our way through high school. Participating in sports is the highlight of high school for some kids. No one was harmed by Soren’s participation in the girls’ track meet, but we are all harmed by the hateful rhetoric of bullies, like Rep. Libby, who want to take sports away from some kids just because of who they are. Anelise Feldman Freshman, Yarmouth High School Yarmouth

this is a letter to the editor from a high school track runner who came in second to a trans girl in a race. her state house rep in maine started talking about it. so she wrote this: www.pressherald.com/2025/05/14/r...

I hope with all the hope in my heart that I will no longer be in LA in 2028 to see this.

in pretty much every domain, and not just through research, private industry *exists* because of public funding, public infrastructure, etc. It is a baby held up by its mother, thinking it can stand on its own two feet.

Let's talk about these two department store owners: brother and sister Louis Bamberger and Caroline Bamberger Fuld. From Newark, New Jersey.

They are random people, basically. But in the late 1920s, with fascism taking over Europe, they made a choice that profoundly changed the world: 🧵

some idiot opened a cursed box of just for men and now we have gavin newsom

The hate I have for this man cannot be overstated.

No. Next question

Holy shit. I know we weren’t exactly saints before 9/11 but incredible how much it broke this country’s brain.
