Judging by the shamefully opportunistic & politicizing rhetoric of some rightwingers on Twitter, & their cynical use of Charlie Kirk’s horrific murder for political point scoring, it’s almost as if Minnesota Rep. Melissa Hortman wasn’t murdered by a Trump-voting MAGA maniac just 12 weeks ago.
Yesterday was my birthday, so I wrote about some of my favorite album covers

Hearing some very dumb people mad about 'government-run grocery stores.'
These are not taxpayer-funded stores where people get free food. They're the government buying food at wholesale, tacking on overhead costs, and selling it at a lower price without the profit tax that corporate stores charge.
How. The. Fuck. Is. This. Happening. And where in God's name are the Democrats? where are the protests? The sit-ins? Where is @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social? Seriously, where the fuck are our leaders? www.tiktok.com/@drivewithme...

The image shows the NAMES Project AIDS Memorial Quilt on display on the National Mall in Washington D.C. in October 1996. This particular display, from October 11-13, 1996, was the last time the entire quilt was shown in its entirety, covering the vast expanse of the National Mall from the Washington Monument towards the U.S. Capitol. It featured over 40,000 panels and drew approximately 1.2 million visitors.

This is an absolutely insane way to run a country
The current budget bill is an atrocity and out-of-touch leaders like Chuck Schumer laid the groundwork by voting for the CR.
Appeasement and complicity do not work. When you bend the knee, they’ll break your leg.
You can tell it's a Republican bill because if it was a Democratic bill the headline would highlight the $3.8 capital-T Trillion it is adding to the federal deficit in the most breathless terms imaginable, and the entire article would be devoted to wondering how it would ever be paid for.

the democratic party got a single gen z representative with david hogg and he started actually representing the resentment young generations have to old and weak democratic leadership and canned him. pathetic. this party will genuinely never change and keep losing to republicans. bleak
Student debt is held by working class Americans from working class families, not the elites.
Americans who struggle to pay it back are working class, not elites.
The elites don’t struggle with debt.

Graph showing that China is now more popular worldwide than the U.S.
The world is more divided than ever, but there’s still something (nearly) everyone agrees on: The US is unloved.
Meanwhile, China keeps improving its global standing 👇

Venture capital firms are now reaching out to scientists who have faced funding cuts due to Trump/Musk/Doge and offering them funding.
A very shrewd move on their part but of course this means their discoveries from this funding will be owned privately instead of by the American people.
Big week for Villanova alums. ✝️🏀

"The U.S. is one of only a handful of nations that do not recognize May Day as a public holiday, joining the short list alongside such shining beacons of progress and equality as Saudi Arabia and Israel."

A bad sign, not just because of what it recalls historically, but for what it promises about the future.
