A split screen of a woman and a man talking. The top is the woman (Tina Fey as Liz Lemon) saying “What a week, huh?”. The bottom is the man (Alec Baldwin as Jack Donaghy) replying “Lemon, it’s Wednesday.”
Hey Georgia! @hankgreen.bsky.social has a convincing pitch for why you should vote AGAINST THE REPUBLICANS in the upcoming Georgia Public Service Commission special election! Potentially save consumers money, kick out some Rs, feel good! YOUR VOTE WILL COUNT HUGELY! www.youtube.com/watch?app=de...
An HHS source says admin also RIFed entire Office of Population Affairs last night.
“Not a single staff person to run our nation's family planning program or the evidence-based teen pregnancy prevention program. The Office of Adolescent Health which nested within OPA functionally ceases to exist”
The end of American science continues apace. Fucking ghouls.
BREAKING: Friday night massacre underway at CDC. Doznes of "disease detectives," high-level scientists, entire Washington staff and editors of the MMWR (Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report) have all been RIFed and received the following notice:
Hurricane #Erin’s stunning rapid intensification from a tropical storm to a category 4 major hurricane in less than 20 hours 👀
Nationalist Christians (Nat-Cs) want to repeal the 19th Amendment.
MAGA pod bros demand women "owe" men sex as "marital debt."
MAGA politicians are banning repro health, Mifepristone, & Medicaid.
All men must step up to stop these violent attacks. My latest:

Keep in mind that EVERYTHING he says or does going forward is to distract from the EPSTEIN files.
E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G.
Happy to see Trump imploding over Epstein, but the guy passed a budget that gives ICE 3x the budget of the Marines.
“They have betrayed the society that enriched them, and have put us at serious risk of authoritarianism, ethnic cleansing, lawlessness, and stagnation. They have betrayed the values that made that society great, values which they apparently only ever held superficially”
I seriously think the Social Internet is 21st century cigarettes. Complete with secondary smoke causing a lot of harm in nonusers.
Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.
When they can pretend the violence came from the left, they insist all Democrats are responsible and ideology is to blame.
When there's no denying the violence came from the right, though, they back off and pretend ideology had nothing to do with it. Certainly not anything *they* said.
2 of 53 Republican senators spent the day mocking the assassination if a Democratic lawmaker from Minnesota. They will face no accountability from Corporate Media or Republicans because no one holds Republican lawmakers accountable for anything, they are assumed to have no agency for their actions.
Mike Lee shouldn't just be expelled from Congress, he should be expelled from public life, just completely shunned by everyone he encounters like in that episode of The Twilight Zone.
He is unfit to hold public office and his party should take action. The party won't, but it should.
Mario Guevara, the metro Atlanta-based Spanish-language reporter who built a mass audience with his coverage of immigration raids, could be deported following his arrest at a protest over the weekend, according to his attorney. A lawyer for Guevara told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) lodged what is known as a “detainer” against the journalist, which is often the first step in deportation procedures.
ICE is attempting to deport an Atlanta-based Spanish-language reporter from El Salvador who has been covering their immigration abductions. He has legal work authorization and a path to a green card.
This is pretty obviously an assault on the free press.

Wrote about why there will never be another podcast quite like "WTF with Marc Maron."
Gift link so everyone can read it!
Fantastic article. Captures exactly why I love WTF so much.

Sometimes Trump comes up with things so extra monumentally stupid even I’m at a loss for words. He wants to take away Veterans Day. He thinks WWII ended on May 8th. This is all so ridiculous. At what point do Republicans admit Trump is insane?
Trump is using his vapid meme coin to take bribes in exchange for pardons and special treatment. He has made hundreds of millions of dollars this way, and his SEC is just . . . letting it happen.
Just staggering open air corruption.

Wait.
Just found out that the CEO of Gumroad now works at DOGE? And that he saved up loads of money 'cause he fired everyone and replaced them with AI?
I'm leaving the platform as soon as I get my money. Jesus christ.

So good. 🤡

We already know that Rs don't care about people elsewhere since likely millions more people will die due to abrupt foreign financial and medical aid cuts, but now they're gleefully killing people in the US as well. If you voted Trump you can't claim you "didn't vote for this", you absolutely did.
