The rapist president 'surprisingly' doesn't support/acknowledge victims of rape and pedophilia.

😳 WOMAN REPORTER: Do sexual abuse allegations mean nothing to you, sir? TRUMP: Wait. Wait! Wait wait wait. Slow down. Who are you with? REPORTER: NBC, sir. But they are very serious sex abuse allegations TRUMP: Quiet! Isn't she a fresh person? You're a horrible little reporter, aren't you?

Since the video is self explanatory they are moving to a discussion of tone. They do this while refusing to admit that Tommy is a conservative operative, and in no way an “innocuous person at the town hall.” These are deeply and fundamentally unserious people.

There is absolutely no viable path forward for this country that doesn’t hinge on extreme accountability for everyone involved in this administration. They’re going to whine about politicization and credulous media types will echo them, but the thing is, they’ve committed tons of obvious crimes!

I do not think an exec branch led by a man who thinks he is entitled to treat federal agents as an arm of his firm, refers to Somali Americans as “garbage” and has said racist things specifically about Omar is capable of neutrally applying the law to her, to put it mildly apnews.com/article/ilha...

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

Yeah, that's not how any of this works.

Ed Sheeran has released a statement on Macklemore being removed from his tour for speaking up for Palestine: “I am not complicit. […] Just because I choose not to speak publicly, it doesn't mean I don't have [my own opinions], and it doesn't mean I don't care.”

Dwight reposted

Ms. Rachel: "Ed Sheeran had an opportunity…Instead he caved to people who refuse to accept what the world knows." "If more than 20,000 white children were killed…everyone would be shouting…Treating some children's lives as less worthy of outrage is racist. Silence during a genocide is not neutral."

Prem Thakker ツ@premthakker.bsky.social

New: Macklemore says Robert Kraft — who owns Gillette Stadium, where Macklemore & Ed Sheeran were to perform later this month — called Sheeran. Kraft rallied other owners together behind an ultimatum for Sheeran: if Macklemore stays on the tour, you won't be allowed in our venues.

it's insane they do this bend-over-backwards "critics say it raises questions" shit when the actual law just says "its illegal to put living people on currency"

The U.S. Mint releases video showing the manufacturing process for $1 coins featuring President Trump, issued to mark the United States' 250th anniversary in 2026. Critics have raised questions about the design's legality.

For reference, the NBA also docked the Wolves 5 first-round picks in the Joe Smith saga back in 2000, although two of the picks were ultimately returned to the Wolves later on. The Wolves were fined $3.5m in that instance.

Derek Bodner@derekbodner.bsky.social

The NBA has released the penalties from the Kawhi Leonard investigation. No contract voided, but Clippers lose 5 first-round picks and are fined $30m, among other penalties. Full list of penalties below.

Super cool how the take away from 9/11 for so many was that every Muslim must answer for it forever, but no American ever needs to answer for the crimes we commit, not even those directly committing them.

Tur: It’s not just the media, and I reject that framing. 6 in 10 Americans don’t know who he is. I’m not saying he’s the most important person in the world, but...is it worth losing votes you need to win? AES: 10 in 10 Americans agree that they can’t afford the things that they need in their lives.

Let me recap: the MPD is 30 million over budget, helped Lang plan his riot, set up barricades for him, let him drive multiple vehicles into a crowded area, one of the cop had their foot run over, and now we can’t press charges because the cops are in on it in the first place.

Unicorn Riot@unicornriot.bsky.social

Citing “extensive evidence of communication and logistical coordination between the Minneapolis Police Department and Lang’s security detail,” prosecutors will not press felony riot charges against white supremacist provocateur Edward Jacob “Jake” Lang for his latest hate rally in Minneapolis.

People love this idea that racism is about your internal thoughts, such that you can never know if someone committing racist actions is actually racist. Wonder who that benefits. If you're materially supporting racism you're a racist, no matter what your internal dialogue over it is.

The term “transphobic” is so inadequate for bigotry like Hegseth’s. He doesn’t fear trans people like some fear spiders or heights. He hates them with a passion. It’s an evil choice, not a psychological malady.

CNN@cnn.com

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth used a transphobic slur while speaking at the Iowa State Fair Monday, where he appeared in support of Republican Rep. Zach Nunn, who is running for a third term in Congress.

hey the two top teams in the WNBA are about to play, not sure if that fits in the current discourse as interesting but for people who care about basketball and women's sports it's a pretty big deal!

Love how this dude discovered the cheat codes of "what if I listened to constituents" and "what if I modeled good behavior" and "maybe I behave like a normal person should." These are apparently dark secrets that have been hidden from other politicians.

I'm listening, I'm learning. Safety first, NYC.

Yes. I am calling for a purity test. Nothing will matter if we nominate someone who won't: • Attempt aggressive institutional reform (SCOTUS, DC statehood, ICE, etc.) • Hold the criminals of this administration accountable • Rebuild and expand the social democratic institutions Trump tore down

Patrick Fenelon@patrickfenelon.bsky.social

Someone should really come up with a check list for potential 2028 Democratic Party Presidential candidates with regard to how they'll attempt to prosecute the innumerable crimes of this administration, reform SCOTUS, & rebuild the institutions that Trump tore down.

The WNBA has never had a trans woman play in the league’s 30-year history and now the right and other anti-trans activists are hammering the league over something that has never been an issue, proving once again it isn’t about protection but exhibiting cruelty toward trans people.

Cheryl Reeve is a phenomenal human being. We need more Cheryl Reeve's.

Asked Cheryl Reeve about the anti-trans demonstrations taking place outside of WNBA arenas. Per usual, she was thoughtful as can be. Part 1/2
