A striking feature of Trump and his team is: they somehow imagine a world in which they are the only actors, only ones with power, and whether it's Tehran or Minneapolis are surprised when it turns out others do. There are many kinds of power and many nations with power.
I wrote a children’s book for my 5-year-old nephew and I think it could be what we in the biz call a Real Book! If you have any knowledge of children’s picture book lit rep/or know reps accepting submissions please dm or email me dweisberg123@gmail.com thank youuuuu xo
Someone in NYC should do interviews with middle-school kids who take the subway to and from school every day, to see if they have any advice for Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy who can't seem to go a single day without pissing himself in fear over them.
Gen. Grynkewich: "What I've observed over the course of studying air power in history is that any time you attack a civilian population, you usually end up finding that it just hardens their resolve."
Yes, I keep pointing this out to men. This is exactly what you get when you elect rapists and bullies, your own government terrorizes your city, robs you blind and tells you to sit back and take it, because if you fight you'll only make it worse. This is rape culture at the government level.
Like everything else in our timeline, our version of "callow young white boys blithely fuck everything up, never appreciate the damage they did, and face zero accountability" is just so f'ing ham-handed & over-the-top. Not believable. Terrible writing.
I love the idea that *this* US government, which has been nabbing landscapers and five year olds knows where Iranian sleeper cells are but just hasn’t gotten around to doing anything about it yet.
I'm going to share this story one more time, because I think the problem it describes -- being unable to determine what is true online or in the news, and just giving up entirely on trying -- is going to get more and more common. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

These companies all settled lawsuits with Donald Trump by promising to donate as much as $63 MILLION to his presidential library.
But then, Trump dissolved a library fund.
So where'd the money go?
I'm pressing these CEOs for answers.
as someone who monitors right wing media, its under discussed right now but i can tell you conservatives are absolutely terrified of the way talarico is using religious messaging against them
As ever, @annamerlan.bsky.social has written something timely and resonant.
The quote from Dmytro Iarovyi had the odd effect of galvanizing me, by reminding me that my despair is not simply a defect, but is evoked by design.
Not only is this reporting by Axios inaccurate and embarrassing, but the vitriol of the boycott against Target has only grown. Read the comments and quotes on this article.
People aren’t just boycotting Target they’re out for blood. Books will be written on how badly Target fumbled the bag.
Schiff is such a disappointment. We could have had Katie Porter! We could have had Barbara Lee!
I can't wait to vote for his primary challenger.
The tool box includes voting to confirm Trump nominees but doing it with a big frown
A foreign hacker likely has the Epstein Files.
The best way to prevent blackmail of government officials, such as trump and Howard Lutnick, would be for AG Pam Bondi to stop the cover up and release all the Epstein Files as required by law.
"We realized we were making ourselves deeply vulnerable to a class action suit that absolutely would have wiped us out financially so we're going to find a way to do this without actual human names attached."
Facebook post by Nekima Levy Armstrong: "Friends, A Breaking News headline just appeared in the Star Tribune, claiming that the national Target boycott ended today. This is false. The writer of the story, Carson Hartzog, is fully aware that the Target boycott was launched in Minneapolis on February 1, 2025. I have spoken to her several times since then, yet she failed to reach out to me, Jaylani Hussein, or Monique Cullars Doty, the three founders of the national Target boycott for the story. Carson even used the photo from our press conference that includes my daughter, Assata Joy and Ms. Rosemary Nevils, an elder in our community, to try to add legitimacy to a bogus story. I am once again disgusted by the Star Tribune and their attempts to minimize and erase the voices of our community. The nationwide Target Boycott is not over, unless and until Target reverses its decision to rollback Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, as we said from the beginning. “Pastor” Jamal Bryant does not speak for us or our community and has zero authority to end the nationwide boycott of Target, a company that is headquartered in Minneapolis. Please don’t believe the hype and these attempts to rescue Target from the effects of capitulating to the Trump Administration. Target rolled back DEI because of Donald Trump. They donated $1 million to the Trump/Vance inauguration committee. Target also allowed ICE to stage in its parking lots during Operation Metro Surge. The nationwide boycott of Target is successful and it will continue. Please continue to shop elsewhere."
Nekima on the Target boycott.
We all owe it to ourselves to ignore these desperate pleas for attention
Anyway, today is a great day to uninstall Grammarly and go for a lovely walk.
Tubi is king. All hail the king.
You know the Barron bought oil story is the good stuff because it came from an X account that used to have the display name “AndrewTateTristanTate” and was popularized by a Facebook page by a content-farm guy who also publishes stories about Chinese dick sucking machines.
we remain firmly on track for 'republican president leaves the country an omnishambles, next democratic president is punished for not cleaning it up fast enough'
it doesn't matter what you think about fossil fuels/if they're evil or not. (and they absolutely are!) this is pulling the rug on entire economies
Okay, this seems bad, but before we judge him too harshly, let’s at least hear what he has to say when he’s a guest on the Gavin Newsom podcast.
Nice to see a judge basically laugh at the claim that Kalshi and other "prediction" markets are not "betting."
Gotta kill these sites as soon as possible.
