Police murdered a Black man in the street in Madison WI today. Shot point blank in the head while on the ground, tased, and surrounded by four cops. It looks like an execution. Multiple videos circulating online. Things are about to get very bad here.

people got mad at me yesterday when i said the dems were not ready to take court reform seriously. 5-4 for non-racial citizenship is not a win, it's a reprieve bsky.app/profile/schu...

Despite Trump’s best efforts to bully them, the Supreme Court just reaffirmed that if you are born in America, you belong in America.

Republicans believe the hard evidence of Republican election cheating should be ignored, while the unseen evidence of Democratic election cheating should be imagined.

CBS has fired Scott Pelley for doing exactly what journalists are supposed to do: Speaking truth to power. Bari Weiss and David Ellison are a disgrace to the media industry. But they unfortunately join a large corporate club filled with disgraceful people.

Lisa Walker reposted

The majority of power sits with wealthy white men and (only recently) a few others. They decide everything. We will never be perfect but unless we get out shit together, white men are going to domestically abuse us into the worst case scenario. Patriarchy is killing us.

i was hibernating when jamelle posted this great thread but agree with it completely tbh

jamelle@jamellebouie.net

the proximate reason i post here — beyond the fact that i like a lot of you and enjoy reading your thoughts and jokes and observations — is that this is a non-algorithmic platform where people share lots of stuff and people read what is shared. that's still valuable even if it doesn't "influence!"

I can't believe the cable channel that brought us Pat Buchanan, Lou Dobbs, Glenn Beck, Tucker Carlson, Jeffrey Lord, and Cory Lewandowski would promote Tricia McLaughlin like this

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Tricia McLaughlin is trying to make the transition from professional liar for Trump to cable news talking head. Here she is on CNN just now.

Same. Electric bill through the fucking roof this year. While Trump cancels renewable energy projects.

Karoli@karoli.bsky.social

I just paid my electric bill which is 200% of last year, with lower usage. Screw the fucking ballroom.

Lisa Walker reposted

You cannot have the WHCD dinner at the WH. The ballroom will not fix the problem of non-state, private events that the president is invited to attend! Imagine if the WH (in any admin) was allowed total veto power over a guest list! Imagine them being able to control it generally!

Lisa Walker reposted

The reasonable assumption is that this was an attempt on the president. But there are a whole lot of big name reporters who are repeatedly called the "enemy of the state" in that room as well. In other words we know nothing about what the motive might have been.

Lisa Walker reposted

To repeat: if you are attending the White House Correspondents Dinner tonight and you are not planning to actively protest the presence of Trump and his henchmen and yet you claim to be a journalist and a patriotic American.. You are neither a journalist nor an American STAND FOR SOMETHING

My new thing is that when someone asks me what I think about 2028, I ask them what they think about 2026. Because this November is the next election. Focus. There'll be plenty of time to talk about 2028 after we're done celebrating over washing Republicans out of Congress this November.

Do you know how EXTREMELY FUCKED UP SHIT HAS TO BE for me to be reposting Tucker Carlson positively???

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Tucker Carlson: "It's vile. It begins w/ a promise to use the US military to commit a war crime. Those people who are in direct contact w/ the president need to say 'No. I'll resign. I'll do whatever I can do legally to stop this, bc this is insane. And if given the order, I'm not carrying it out'"

Throughout my entire lifetime, every time Republicans have been in office, they have broken the world. You would think at some point my fellow white people would get a clue, but it appears we haven't, and it may be too late now. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Of course the media are covering Trump’s deranged, rambling speech as if it was a normal statement from a fully functional human being instead of what it really was: dangerous madness tearing the world apart.

"If we can't exercise the duty and the power that Congress has been given by the Framers to remove the most corrupt administration in American history — the most vile administration, the president who has most violated his oath, and violated the law — then we don't have a Constitution."

"Once universities and their allies recovered from their shock and challenged Trump, they were able to block many, if not most, of the White House’s moves in court. Trump has certainly left his mark on America’s universities. But he has not broken them." www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

We know that not all men are rapists. We KNOW this. (Not all - for the defensive crowd) HOWEVER, we know that a very HIGH number of men are rapists or capable of rape. How do you know who the rapists are in a crowd of men? You don't. So it's safer to assume they all are. Not all. But too many.

And of course many people around here are Platner fans. The idea that there’s consensus around anything on blue sky is just dumb conventional “wisdom” popularized by folks who were pissed that we stopped drinking at the Nazi bar.

40 percent of her first presidential campaign consisted of jackasses like Chris Matthews holding her husband's infidelity against her while ignoring the infidelity of multiple Republican men running for president at the same time sadly, she's used to this shit

Chris Hayes@chrislhayes.bsky.social

When you think about it for more than 5 seconds, it really is both insane and outrageous that *HILLARY CLINTON* - a woman who apparently has never met with nor corresponded with Jeffrey Epstein was one of the first people deposed.

Lisa Walker reposted

does it actually know how to govern? it for sure does better things than the gop when in power, but knowing how to govern also includes selling the things youve done so people vote for you again the next time. and liberalism has shown it is utterly incapable of that.

Chris Neyland@chrisneyland.bsky.social

Liberalism knows how to govern. They want to govern because they want to help people. The Republican cult wants to govern because they want power. They have no morals, no conscience to tell them right from wrong. So you of course have decided to lay into the Democrats as your brand.

Let’s get this done for Dexter!

My unsolicited recommendation that will be completely ignored: A lot of terrible people who helped re-elect Trump will jump off the ship. They will be embraced by Democrats and corporate media. Make them earn it. Make them show their homework. Or else this cycle repeats itself again and again.

The Trump administration is a criminal organization. This is how they cover up their crimes.

We are watching one of the wildest things a nation-state has ever done: A superpower is committing suicide because the GOP Congress is too cowardly to stand up to the Mad King. This is one of the wildest moments in all of geopolitics ever.

If you're a soldier in the 11th Airborne Division being ordered to prep for deployment to Minnesota or Greenland, remember that you have the right to apply for conscientious objector status. Call the GI Bill Rights hotline: 1-877-447-4487

Lisa Walker reposted

Congress can stop ICE. Congress can block the use of force in Greenland. In other words, in this crisis, Congress can act to support civil liberties at home and free nations abroad. To fail to act would be to be complicit in a dreadful outcome.
