Don’t think I’ve ever seen a @flightradar24.com map with only one passenger Sun County flight on it at 10:30 PM. Last night there were none. Rest of Sun Country planes on map are Amazon Air cargo flights. CC: @ottergoose.net #avgeek

They had contracted Blue Angels for 43 years; 43 years The owner says she never received a personal notice that Hegseth was canceling her or any reminder that her contract renewal was coming up This is how the Trump administration treats people, especially Black people

I find it totally bizarre that no twin cities outlets even mentioned this in passing. People were fired from jobs for criticizing Charlie Kirk, but praising a convicted murderer isn’t a scandal?

While the world’s eyes are on fashion’s biggest night, we’re turning ours to the garment, retail, and warehouse workers who keep the industry running. From true love found on the picket line to a free tailoring school out of a Brooklyn basement — meet the New Yorkers who make it all possible.

Reupping this cause it’s evergreen and I feel better knowing someone out there called him out like this

A screenshot of an opinion by Oliver Kornetzke from August 18th, 2025. There’s a photo of a tired, bloated Donald trump over the opinion that reads: behold. The festering carcass of American rot shoved into an ill fitting suit: the sleeves of economy, man, the cowardice of a draft dodger, the gluttony of a parasite, the racism of a clansman, the sexism of a back alley creep, and the greed of a hedge fund ghoul – all spray painted orange and paraded like a prize hog at a country fair. Not a president. Not even a man. Just the diseased distillation of everything this country swears it isn’t but has always been – arrogance dressed up as exceptionalism, stupidity passed off as common sense, cruelty sold as toughness, greed, exalted as ambition, and corruption worship like gospel. It is America’s shadow made flesh, a rotting pumpkin idol, proving that when a nation kneels before money, power, and spike, it doesn’t just lose its soul – it shits out this bloated, obscenity, and calls it a leader.

The amazing, letter-perfect performance of NASA this week is a ferocious rebuke to the right-wing fools who constantly tell us that for-profit businesses always do a job better than the government.

I’m glued to the Artemis coverage because it is so unlike anything we get to see in the news these days: cool shit done by smart, super competent people working together closely. Positive vibes but not treacly sentiment. Also (probably) a glowing alien god of peace about to emerge from the capsule.

In fairness, the lie that we have "rigged" elections was literally litigated in courts. Over 60 times. And Trump lost in *every* case. The SAVE Act is rooted in fraud--and a desire by Republicans to accomplish precisely what they falsely accuse Democrats of doing--steal elections.
