Superman Isn’t Trying to Be Political. We Just Have Real-Life Supervillains Now.

What a headline.

Republicans: you cool with this?
And if you are, go read the end of this piece from @hcrichardson.bsky.social with the quote from Ronald Reagan.

Trump and Bukele claim they can't release anyone from CECOT

BUT THEY ALREADY HAVE: at least 9 detainees El Salvador released back to the US in the last 3 months

NINE other people freed. Why not Abrego Garcia, who's there on an "administrative error"?

DEMAND HIS FREEDOM NOW

So good!

Trump administration ends temporary protected status for thousands of Afghans As soon as May 20, thousands of Afghans living in the U.S. will lose a protection that shielded them from deportation and allowed them to work.

The Top Goal of Project 2025 Is Still to Come The now-famous white paper has proved to be a good road map for what the administration has done so far, and what may yet be on the way.

Just posted: an excerpt from my book, THE PROJECT, about how Project 2025 wants to enforce traditional gender norms, encourage women to stay home, and push trans people back into the closet: www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Waltz and staff used Gmail for government communications, officials say Trump’s national security adviser is trying to manage his way out of a crisis. But new revelations about his team’s operational security are piling up in the inbox.

You have got to be shitting me.

Top scientists warn that Trump policies are causing a 'climate of fear' in research Some 2,000 scientists, including dozens of Nobel Prize winners, have signed an open letter warning that the U.S. lead in science is being "decimated" by the Trump administration's cuts to research.

How shareholders can stop media outlets from 'bribing' Trump Media executives considering settling Trump’s frivolous lawsuits are scared of getting sued. They should be

Corporate executives are tempted to settle Trump’s frivolous lawsuits against their news companies to get on the administration’s good side. But they’re reportedly scared of getting sued if they do.

They should be. We explain why.

And you helped make that a possibility, NYT. Thanks for all the sane-washing. You abetted a human rights catastrophe. Well, multiple ones now. Well done. This is going to be your legacy from now on.

Anyone else watching the superb #commonsideeffects on Max?
Off-beat, smart, and very well acted, plus terrific quirky animation style. I don't think they've hyped this show at all, but if you like shows like #scavengersreign you'd like this one!

'Bloody Saturday' at Voice of America and other U.S.-funded networks Federal officials placed 1,000 employees at Voice of America on indefinite paid leave, while severing contracts with Radio Free Asia and other U.S.-funded networks.

Trump Administration say South Africa's Ambassador to U.S. 'persona non grata' Secretary of State Marco Rubio says he's kicking out the Ambassador from South Africa -accusing him of hating America and hating Donald Trump.

We've hit 10,000 signatures on this petition -- at least ten thousand people refusing to donate to Senate Democrats until Mr. Schumer is replaced as leader. Let's keep it going. Share widely and make your anger known. Let's demand action.

Come on, NPR. That's some *severe* sane-washing. You're better than that - report the news. "...Spent several weeks trying to weaponize the agency against Americans." That's the headline.

Yes but only if you've been paying attention.

Maybe they should try raking the forests. Thoughts and prayers.

Genuinely interesting but also in deep contrast to a lot of the other reporting I've read. More people voted for people other than Trump then FOR Trump. That seems to be what all the reporting says. So logically, who was being voted for? A lot of people simply did "protest votes." That's the math.

Well that I do agree with. I don't know why they allow the GOP to bitch and whine about every dumb thing but they themselves take the high road when it matters. That is ABSOLUTELY a problem. No question. They still have better policy.

No. They've stayed center instead of continuing to move left, where - I agree - they would be a clearer contrast. Frustrating? 100% But it's not new news.

Way over reported. Yup - I didn't know what the fuck the Dems were doing either. Absolutely. But to equate them as the same as the opposition is pure delusion.

Really?
Show me exactly what they did wrong. I'll grant you a lack of spine, yes, but solid policies that people consistently like - especially once they're taken out of context from the party that put them forward. Lower crime, higher education, fewer gun deaths, stronger unions, lower drug costs.

Show me your source. Mine all point to low voter turnout (and yes absolutely voting 3rd party, but more people voted for other people than DJT than did vote for him).

BREAKING: SpaceX's Starship EXPLODES, causing FAA to halt flights at 4 major airports

The previous Starship also exploded, in January

THIS is why FAA probed SpaceX for safety

And THIS is why Musk has been trying to kill FAA - and why he should NOT get any more govt contracts

You helped create this situation but your relentless sane-washing of this monster. This will come back and bite not just us but the world. And you could have done so much more, NYT. Shame on you forever.

@tidybitsofchaos.bsky.social hiya! 😃
