Yes, this is a real government ad…

“Are you a white male who has experienced discrimination at work based on your race or sex?”

In a country built on centuries of actual discrimination, the EEOC is using civil rights language to insulate white male mediocrity from competition.

THREAD.

My parents' cat Bridget vanished. As the weeks dragged on they became ever more worried, so to distract himself my dad began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time and popping up at some of art & music's most important moments.

Elise Stefanik dropped out of the governor's race and is exiting Congress.

But we'll always remember her for that balmy day in Plattsburgh, New York, when she was roundly booed by her constituents while honoring a deceased county clerk.

Not just boos, but shouts of “Traitor" and “You’re a Nazi.”
here's clips of Elise Stefanik getting brutally booed at an event today in her district

The Trump administration’s release of the Epstein grand jury documents are entirely redacted.

It’s 119 pages of just black rectangles.

This is what happens when ICE is allowed to arrest anyone just based on the color of their skin. There is nothing stopping them from basically making up excuses to hold detainees indefinitely saying the docs provided are fake. The burden should be on them to prove that in court BEFORE the arrest!

this is going to dominate mainstream media AND the right wing bubble for weeks.

if they thought they were avoiding negative press...well, we already know they're incredibly incompetent.
Tapper: This is one of the documents the DOJ released. It’s 100 pages. It’s all black. That’s the transparency we’re getting.

This was an incredibly eye-opening conversation with Chris Whipple
@whipplc.bsky.social's bombshell interviews of Trump’s Chief of Staff, Susie Wiles, has rocked Trump World. And rightfully so.

He joins me to talk about the “bubble mentality” of Trump’s advisers & how Wiles isn’t like any other White House Chief of Staff.

Anything short of saying he was an evil tyrant who took the ideal of German sovereignty hostage to use it as a shield to carry out his genocidal project will not cut it for me. These people are either brainwashed, or ignorant, or full of hatred themselves (or likely all of the above). Not sorry
responding to “what do you think of Adolph Hitler?” with “I’m in favor of a strong executive” is advanced conservatism. these kids have perfected the craft.

Today I received FOUR death notifications for people in ICE custody. That's 30 deaths since Trump took office. It's appalling & unacceptable.
 
ICE is required—by law—to ensure detainees are safe & their basic needs are met. It's clear this isn't the case. We NEED answers.

Trump: “…an alcoholic’s personality”

Vance: “…a conspiracy theorist for a decade”

Vought: “…right wing absolute zealot”

Musk: “…an avowed ketamine user”

These aren’t the wild opinions of a Twitter troll.

It’s coming from the White House Chief of Staff.

They are who we think they are.

The same Rick Scott who bilked American taxpayers of a jaw-dropping $1.7 billion? Any person with common sense would ask him, not only is this criminal, but how did you ever think you'd get away with it? He belongs in prison, not in the United States Senate.
