Netflix just gave Gavin Newsom 2 million for the redistricting fight and made a deal with Sesame Street. New episodes will air there and the backlog of old episodes will Be free to watch. Netflix picked a side. I will keep my subscription.

I see a lot of well-deserved support for Townsend, but you wanna know what I DON'T see? Well-deserved condemnation of Ostapenko's behavior. Where's the accountability? @foxnews.com.web.brid.gy @abcsports.bsky.social @cbsnews.com @espn.com
Every day of this kakistocracy feels like a nightmare, just like his first term. Actually, worse.
Dear journalists: The President has not fired Lisa Cook. The President is *trying* to illegally fire her. Your words shape people’s reality. Please be accurate in your reporting.
I know we joke about "Orange TACO", etc but WHY IS THE PUBLIC NOT ACTIVELY OUTRAGED RIGHT NOW????? IS IT ME, OR IS THE ENTIRE FCKNG WORLD TAKING THIS SHIT WAY, WAY, WAYYYYY TOO GODDAMNED LIGHTLY? He's weaponizing the NATIONAL FCKNG GUARD, at TAXPAYER EXPENSE, ... against... TAXPAYERS!
So let's be clear - We're not defending Bolton. We're defending the rule of law and speaking out against authoritarian abuse of power, including this weaponization of the FBI against Bolton. Let's be very clear about this.
Deploying troops on American soil/military 'birthday' parades and this Bolton raid have one thing in common - a sad, transparent attempt to wag his lil dick and distract the public from his own weakness and ineptitude as a POTUS. And yes, the #EpsteinFiles
Worth remembering that Niemöller was a member of the Nazi Party, not some naive patsy. Similarly, Bolton was happy about eroding the Constitution and rule of law when it was the Bush administration doing it.
😂
I'd pay good money to see them win hearts and minds while strolling thru the more... entertaining...neighborhoods in SE and NE.
You mean they're NOT patrolling southeast? They're only strolling around NW?
Don Lewis, 43, has been a legal permanent resident since 1993. He was born with a medical condition that affects blood flow, and can cause significant pain.
This is exactly why Dems get their ass handed to them by Trump's world. They have no clue how to leverage social media algos to their advantage. open.substack.com/pub/weaponiz...
Inquiring minds want to know...
FBI agents are not trained to patrol streets. And every agent that is assigned to do that is NOT investigating: *foreign spies stealing gov’t and trade secrets *foreign and domestic terrorist threats *crimes like fraud, corruption, trafficking, and violent crimes (among others) Do you feel safer?

So... Yall really made up with Target already?
This. Right. Here. 💯
I'm giving Ghislane Maxwell's pardon one week to be issued.. then she'll either start talking, or suddenly die of a previously undetected health condition. Criminal will pardon a criminal.
Please don't do this.
They’re not the Epstein files — they’re the Trump files. Sealed by the courts ‘til 2024. Biden couldn’t touch them. But Trump? He had thousands of DOJ agents flagging his name to cover his ass. He’s not hiding from Epstein. He’s hiding from us. #ReleaseTheTrumpFiles
Because..
Say it with me, folks: 🗣️ 🗣️ 🗣️ KAKISTOCRACY
"Nnem"... 🥹❤️
NEW ANGLE Watch and decide, but I was never fully convinced he was shot in the first place. Never mind that his ear should’ve been blown off—now completely healed. Or that the Secret Service took their time getting him offstage. But from this angle: you see the photographers guided into place…
Oh ffs, please can we stop making everything a THING? Staring vacuously is called being rude. Period. 'Gen Z stare' my ass. And I fully blame GenX parents for this fuckery. Yall made and raised them. Yall own this.
And just like that, his ear grew back nobody is talking about doge nobody is questioning the access to taxpayer data nobody is talking about his attack on Iran ...And so on and so on and so the fuck on
Go figure, huh?
Ah, right
Circling back to this. This same administration just signed a contract to use Lonnie's GROK Ai to power our defenses, amirite? To the tune of hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars? *chuckles softly in doge*
Beloved, please make no mistake - while this may not apply to you specifically, a sizeable portion of the (voting) public truly is intellectually lazy and stupid. Let's also be clear that (1) it will only get worse, given the education trajectory in the States, and (2) that's very much by design.
Remember when Etsy was for independent artisans, and not just links to Amazon and Shein? Good times.

Cosplay Kristi needs to lose her job. Then again, Hegseth is a walking threat to national security and he's still employed so... 😑
Yikes. 😳
And that's just the beginning. The number of people - grown, often HIGHLY EDUCATED people - who are turning to chatgpt for therapy, is disturbing on a trillion levels. That level of trust is deeply troubling.
🥺
Countries with the good sense to consider outside/balanced perspectives would never build concentration camps in the first place.
Because, TACO
Dear @bsky.app - why can't I search my own posts anymore? I get random results from my feed in my results now.
😒
So are you saying, for the record, that the DOGE cuts to NWS/NOAA staffing had no bearing upon this tragedy?
Multiple families in Texas are going thru a type of hell that I would not wish on my worst enemy. And yet, officials/media are still too chicken-shit to hold this administration responsible for the unprecedented loss of American lives due to cruel budget cuts for billionaire cronies.
I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.
😐
So... Do you not understand what the word "systemic" actually means, or...

Mark Cuban is right - we have to name them and shame them. #RaiseTheWage
The #BigBillionairesBill must be defeated. Period.
Only two ways to make any of this matter: 1. Make the GOP congress scared. AND 2. Make the oligarchs scared. Heavy emphasis on the 'and'.
What doesn't get enough attention is the impact on the children. Many go without sound education, immunizations, etc. And many children wind up abused with no access to resources or aid. They're trapped in their community.
Please stay focused.
A pregnant woman lost her baby after ICE refused to give her prenatal care. She begged for help and was denied. She was fed food full of cockroaches. She was forced to sleep on the floor. This is absolutely disgusting and we should all be outraged. nashvillebanner.com/2025/05/27/i...
Can we PLEASE talk about cognitive decline now?

Ruiz: Why did the report include citations that don’t exist? RFK JR: All of the foundational assertions in that report are accurate Ruiz: How can they be accurate if they did not exist?
All of this is one giant publicity stunt to re-energize his base. Yall get that, right? Millions will suffer so that his ego can once again feel at ease. We... 😳 We all get that, right?
...or have any.
“family members identified the victim as Narciso Barranco, a father to three sons who are all U.S. Marines” ktla.com/news/local-n...
Yall let this fragile ego bastard TACO take us into full-fledged war. If you were eligible to vote and you voted for him or sat it out, FUCK YOU.
I’m watching the Panama v Guadeloupe Gold Cup game on TV as we speak. It is being played in Los Angeles. And the stadium is almost completely empty. A sport that in the U.S. is highly dependent on Latino audiences is no longer viable. The World Cup cannot come here.
fired up after today? start a blogblog. gather a group of funny people. hold events. write about hyperlocal politics. get people out to vote. 🗳️

The "I'll lower costs and get us out of endless wars" candidate is now presiding over surging costs and brand new wars.
Can we all just agree that a 3-level townhouse with garage on L1 without some sort of dumbwaiter to the kitchen on L2 is just about the DUMBEST fckng trend in residential architecture design? #ArchitectureSky #RealEstateSky #WhoseDumbassIdeaWasThisSky #WhyDoPeopleBuyThisShitSky
Quick, somebody check on Susan Collins. I'm sure she has something insightful to say about this.
“If you saw all this in any other country — soldiers sent to crush dissent, union leaders arrested, opposition politicians threatened — it would be clear that autocracy had arrived,” writes NY Times columnist Michelle Goldberg.
BREAKING: A few minutes ago, a vehicle of three people was rammed by a truck belonging to federal immigration authorities in Boyle Heights, CA. According to security footage shown to me, they deployed chemical munitions & detained the driver at gunpoint. All are US citizens according to the wife.
🚨 ICE raided Omaha today. Wonder how Trump decided which city to target after Los Angeles? 🤔 www.ketv.com/article/omah... John Ewing Jr. set to make history as Omaha's first Black mayor
"Some of those that work forces, are the same that burn crosses."
😈 Welcome to the dark side.
"Former President"...? And I didn't see any quote where she mentioned him directly. Was this article Ai generated?
The White House is trying to make everyone believe "real America" wants Troops taking over Los Angeles.. In fact the majority of Americans, including political independents, are stone-cold against it.
RFK. Jr erodes trust in vaccines - under his leadership: - Largest measles outbreak in 30yrs, 3 deaths - Largest pertussis outbreak - 2 deaths - A fake study led by a discredited crank to link vaccines to autism - Ending covid vaccine recs for children & pregnant people www.wsj.com/opinion/rfk-...
ICE agents better start reading up on the Nuremberg trials. Because when we get to the other side of this, and we will, "I was just following orders" ain't gonna cut it.
Praying that he remains alive and well. Is the family suing?
Trump and Elon’s breakup is a distraction. Trump gave a ketamine addict access to Americans' private data, who gutted the federal workforce, and now cries “pedophile” after losing power. If he believed it, why wait? Congress must launch immediate oversight hearings. #CoEqualBranch #Ethics
By the way a military parade when we’re not celebrating a war victory is something a dude who never served would do.
😂 🤣
Ladies - you know how excited we get when we find a cute skirt with pockets? Ok so... Have you tried LADIES CARGO PANTS??! I just recently started wearing em. And OH MY FCKNG WORD WHERE HAVE THESE BEEN ALL MY LIFE?! 🥹 (and no I dunno why I waited so long, so don't ask, just rejoice with meeeee)
*nods ruefully* This was a canon event.
This skypost, the responses, the entire fckng sky-thread 😂
😂
I can hear this picture 😂
🚨ICE ALERT 🚨 If you see this vehicle or these two individuals, they are ICE agents and they disappeared two individuals at the Pittsburgh Municipal Courthouse today after refusing to show their attorneys a warrant. Reporting ICE is community safety.
And this is why having American aviation communications rely on Starlink was always a terrifying idea
Any guesses on what the 'reconciliation tour' will look like, and how soon it'll happen? Ooh and what's the over/under on Vought and Miller joining the fracas?
Gotta love it when an article is as tortuous as humanly fckng possible.
So hey quick question about the #TravelBan - why is Russia not on the list?
OK cool but... Consequences? 🤔
Here's something everybody should be paying attention to: Congressional Republicans are trying to weaken the Affordable Care Act and put millions of people at risk of losing their health care. Call your Senators and tell them we can't let that happen.
💯
I got a lot of death threats after I confronted Nancy Mace at a tech conference in DC and I guess it's nice to know that most of them were probably just from her and her bot army? www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...
