‘Trump held up a printed sheet of paper with a picture of people lifting body bags and said, "These are all white farmers that are being buried". The image actually showed humanitarian workers burying bodies in the city of Goma in Democratic Republic of Congo.’

Yes, yes: #CoryBooker shouldn't have supported Kushner's nomination as ambassador to France. I wish he hadn't. But who gives a shit who the f'ing ambassador to France is, particularly when anybody nominated by this administration is likely to be corrupt, incompetent, and immoral? In any event, the nomination was going through with or without Booker's vote.

Let's keep our eye on the big picture, folks. These purity tests don't work out well for us. Anybody who thinks Cory Booker isn't on the right side of this fight has taken leave of their senses.

Curious what would happen if you found the stupidest, most morally corrupt people in the country and put them in charge? This. This is what would happen.

Great reporting highlighting that TeleMessage was much more widely used in government than previously reported. I'll say it again: every foreign intelligence service worth its salt had access to this data. This is a *monumental* security failure by the Trump admin. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/hacker-who-breached-communications-app-used-by-trump-aide-stole-data-across-us-2025-05-21/

Opinion | ‘Dictators Are Never as Strong as They Tell You They Are’

Dissidents around the world have plenty of experience challenging authoritarian regimes. Here are their secrets.

The New York Times

WARNING: #Trumpflation ahead

Markets react to credit downgrade and near-certain #inflationary consequences of #tariffs.

Mini-Putin is just going by his typical playbook: get rich while simultaneously screwing his investors (or, in this case, taxpayers).

As usual, the devil here is in the details.

The Red Don administration closed all funding for #refugees through the ORR. So how are they bringing over these Afrikaner so-called "refugees"?

They're relying on a smaller, still-funded (so far) program known as PCP, the "Preferred Communities Program". Many (but not all) refugee relocation agencies participate in PCP.

Notably, the Episcopalian Church does not participate in PCP. They therefore wouldn't have been able to settle the Afrikaners anyway.

So what they're doing is refusing to participate in a program in which they already have no part, and in addition they're closing up shop so they'll be unable to serve any actual refugees going forward.

Sounds a lot less heroic now, don't it?

Library of Congress Staff Mount Standoff Against New MAGA Bosses

Two Justice Department officials who apparently had been appointed into two new top roles at the library were turned away Monday.

“Joe #Biden — even at his most inarticulate and even with his voice weakened by age — has more gut commitment to and understanding of what America at its best means to the world, and who our real friends are and must always be, than every member of the [🍊🤡 ] administration combined.”

What Joe Biden understands about America’s place in the world, even now.

The New York Times

It’s only been five years since the onset of the world’s most deadly #pandemic in a century, and now loony-tunes RFK Jr. & friends have decided to deny the vast majority of us the miraculous vaccines that finally ended #COVID’s tsunami of death and disability.

F.D.A. Poised to Restrict Access to Covid Vaccines

Agency leaders said there was evidence to justify approval only for older people and those with medical conditions. Many others may not be able to get the shots.

The New York Times

“When somebody is attacking your siblings and cousins and you, you're either in a fight or you're witness to a massacre. So we know there is a fight to join, not because a fight is what we seek, but because we can see our siblings and cousins being massacred every day.

And you can't win a fight when you surrender the field.”

If you stay in their frame, you'll always be in their picture. On the fine art of not handing it to them.
