Hysterical and pathetic.
Here is three straight minutes of Donald Trump saying things will be happening “in two weeks” (spoiler alert: none of them ever happened)

Ever tried to describe a great theatrical moment or performance? Then you know how hard it can be. That's why we have Ben Brantley, whose writing is so sublime, so creative and so intense you can taste the performance he describes. Like this: www.nytimes.com/2025/05/13/t...

Every Mother’s Day I have been republishing an article I wrote 9 years ago For the Un-Mothered on Mother’s Day. Every year I hear from people who tell me that it’s exactly what they needed to hear on a day that’s difficult for them. So here it is again. ❤️

Actual headline from the @nytimes.com. Friends, if you’re a U.S. citizen please fight back any way you are able. If you are a non-citizen living in the U.S., keep your head down. If you’re outside of the U.S., stay there, or go someplace where history and human rights still matter #StaySafeStayAlive

Seriously important thread by Senator Chris Murphy re the real reasoning behind the tariffs.
Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.

No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.

1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

Trump 2.0 may think he’s talking about sex, but he’s really talking about gender. And he has no idea what he’s talking about. substack.com/profile/2810...

New German, Swiss, And Austrian Guidelines Recommend Trans Youth Care, Slam Cass Review
The recommendations, released by the Association of the Scientific Medical Societies in Germany, come at a time when US politicians erroneously claim that Europe is "pulling back" on transgender care.
