🚨 BREAKING:

U.S. world-famous author Stephen King:

“Trump is a tumor in America’s veins. A tyrant who does not hesitate to set a country on fire for his narcissistic ego. No horror story I’ve written could be as terrifying as this man.”

[Kunle Kenny -The Joy Dispenser @kunle_kenny]

I cannot overemphasise this! It’s books. It’s not podcasts, not movies, but BOOKS!
You HAVE TO read! It engages your brain in a unique way. Your imagination comes alive, your curiosity is inspired, and your use of grammar is sharpened! You MUST read!!

Dude he literally running New York like the average joe in a movie who gets elected into office as a gag and then fixes everything simply because he is not a politician and an earnest regular guy.

Joy Reid: Jeff Bezos ripped “Democracy Dies in Darkness” off the masthead of The Washington Post and handed Melania a $40 million documentary bribe for a film that nobody but the cult even watched.

Trump himself posted on his Temu Twitter that my former employer did his bidding when they fired me.

This is corporate media on its knees

[Symone D. Sanders Townsend @SymoneDSanders]

Two things can be true:

As the great Toni Morrison once said “the very serious function of racism…is distraction.” Facts. Also - what we aren’t about to do is let the derogatory comments about Mrs. Obama slide.

I can walk and chew gum at the same time!

I truly love and enjoy writing. The chaos, the surprises, discipline, dead-ends, ghost roads, focus, catharsis, that feeling of being changed by my own work.

I wouldn’t outsource this to AI software for *anything*. But then again, I’m an actual writer who enjoys writing.

NASHVILLE— REP. @brotherjones_: “I was a professor here, teaching environmental racism. @Fisk1866 U President (Dr. Clark) asked me if it would conflict with plans to build a data center on campus. I started teaching about dangers of A.I… my class was canceled within a week.”🤔

[Elie Mystal @ElieNYC]

When Todd Blanche talks, you can see Trump's hand all the way up his ass, moving his mouth.
That makes Blanche the most incompetent nominee for AG yet. And for that, we should be somewhat thankful.

Did you know that African women were performing successful C-sections centuries before Europe?

The Divine 9 were straight off the chain at Bethune-Cookman University’s graduation! 🔥🙌🏾
From powerful steps to proud strolls, they showed out big for the Class of 2026. Pure HBCU magic and Black excellence on full display.
Y’all did that, Wildcats! 👏🏾👏🏾

The plaintiff argued Oliver "feigned outrage for ratings." The outrage was about a licensed physician testifying under oath that leaving a patient with cerebral palsy in his own waste for days was acceptable because "people are allowed to be dirty."

Oliver's team pulled the full transcript to verify the quote was not taken out of context. It wasn't. The judge found the patient's dignity was the same regardless of the technical distinction the plaintiff raised.

The lawsuit was designed to make the segment cost more than it was worth to defend. It didn't work. It never has. Oliver's record is perfect.

“I feel like I’m losing my mind. The double standards are so out of wack.”

@hasanthehun reacts to the Platner NYT story, saying the “fucked up” behavior described by his (Republican operative) ex is not the bombshell supporters of greater offenders (Trump/Paxton/Hegseth) claim.

September 1, 2005, Jabbar Gibson borrowed a school bus and transported about 60 people who were trapped in New Orleans, Louisiana in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Jabbar drove about 350 miles from New Orleans to Houston.

Along the way, Gibbon and the passengers pooled their money to purchase fuel, water, ice, food, etc. to make sure everyone was safe.

At just 13 years old, Alena Analeigh McQuarter made history as the youngest Black student ever accepted into a U.S. medical school.
Now 17, this brilliant young queen has already graduated high school at 12, earned a Master’s degree, interned at NASA, founded The Brown STEM Girl to inspire other girls of color, and continues blazing trails in medicine and science.
Her journey is living proof that when purpose, discipline, and brilliance collide, nothing can hold you back not even age.
The future is in incredible hands! 👏🏽

A milestone achieved on Australia's main electricity grid, the NEM.
Energy discharged from utility batteries over the last 12 months now exceeds generation from peaking (OCGT) gas turbines.
Those who thought batteries would only provide ancillary services now looking foolish.

The worst kind of white supremacist is the white supremacist who isn't even white.

So, on behalf of Black mothers, Black sisters, Black fathers, and Black sisters everywhere:

FUCK YOU! Lil bytch ass.

New York City just made history. 🗽

Proud of my friend @EdwinRaymondNYC 🙏🏾

Mayor Zohran Mamdani has appointed Edwin Raymond, former NYPD Lieutenant, whistleblower, and author of An Inconvenient Cop, as the new Sheriff of New York City.

Edwin Raymond didn’t just survive the system. He fought it from the inside. He led the largest civil rights lawsuit in NYPD history challenging illegal arrest quotas. He exposed racial profiling when it was career suicide to do so. And he wrote the book — literally — on what real accountability in policing looks like.

Now he’s running the office.

This is what it looks like when a mayor chooses justice over politics. Mayor Mamdani called him “principled, courageous and deeply committed to justice” and the record backs every word of that.

The city is watching. The country is watching. And for once, the right person is in the room. 👊🏾
