When the sun explodes and rips the atmosphere from the Earth, we will have 8 minutes of grace before the sky goes dark, and humanity rejoices in its impermanence before it is forever silenced—which is honestly more than we deserve.

Happy #Twertzog Day

If you think California is taking a long time to count votes... wait until you hear how long the Trump Administration is taking to release the Epstein Files

@RubenGallego This is not the flex you think it is. The oligarchs don’t pay payroll taxes.

@SEATTLESUBMISS I’m not sure I can process all of this. 🤣

@CalltoActivism @RachelBitecofer I bet they still vote Republican. Let them eat reflecting pond.

Realising Apple went public at under $2 billion and 15 times revenue in 1980.

SpaceX wants you to buy at $2 trillion and 100 times revenue in 2026.

That is not getting in early. That is being the exit for venture capitalists who have held this equity for years at a fraction of what you are being asked to pay.

Almost none of the retail investors buying this IPO will read the 300 pages before the book closes on June 11.

That is your entire competitive advantage right there.

I’ve been talking about this for a long time.

This is how Bezos has a $500M yacht on a $82,000 a year salary.

Thank you @RubenGallego

🔥 here is the full video of Elizabeth Warren grilling Scott Bessent on Trump's indefensible stock trading. This is a master class.

Jennifer Welch: “Boycott every fucking thing on CBS News. From the morning all the way through to the evening. These are the same people that fired Stephen Colbert because Trump got his feelings hurt by a comedian. These people are the biggest bunch of pussies that masquerade with these grandstanding letters like they’re such badasses. These people don’t care about the truth, they don’t care about journalism, they don’t care about the Constitution, they don’t care about a free press. It’s just absolutely devastating what these oligarchs have done to our country”

Leen Hijaz, valedictorian at her high school in North Carolina, said the following in her graduation speech:

"Before I leave the stage, I have one last thing to say. Every single person here has a voice; we have the privilege to use it when millions around the world are struggling and suffering to be heard. Whether it’s the millions suffering in Palestine, Sudan, Congo, Afghanistan and so many other countries around the world, or families being torn apart by ICE. These are not just an issue here; they are happening there, they’re happening right here as I speak. My point is, we’re not given a voice to stay silent."

Corey Robin, a political theorist at Brooklyn College, writes: "The mere mention of Palestine—maybe ICE, too—sent the high school principal, Melissa Moore, hurtling across the stage to seize the microphone from Hijaz, and stop her from saying these unapproved words.

Just look at this photograph: A young Muslim woman, speaking out, and a desperate, terrified principal trying to shut her down, lest the student say something unauthorized, disapproved, discordant with the views of an increasingly small clique of government officials and voters.

It's so pathetic. It reads like a comic play by Václav Havel. It looks like the desperate last days of the Soviet Union. I can only hope Hijaz speaks for a generation that will, one day, sweep all this garbage into the dustbin of history".
