Trying to find and hang on to these slivers of Hope - this is what Resistance can look like. Small, incremental battles that set-up the bigger stage for conflict. This is a model for the other States. apnews.com/article/cali...

This is the best, clearest , cohesive breakdown of the US Gov's nutty pursuit of Ábrego García, the contradictions, the attempts- it's actually pretty interesting to see the insanity altogether. The U.S. Government’s Extraordinary Pursuit of Kilmar Ábrego García www.newyorker.com/news/the-led...

Heard the rapture might happen Tuesday. Guess I'm gonna skip doing laundry and washing dishes today.

Senator Cruz is the Chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee, which has jurisdiction over the FCC. He's right on this — it's unbelievably dangerous for the Trump administration to be pulling people off the air for speech they don't like.

“Over half of the ice detainees held in New York jails between January and July — and 62 percent in Nassau County — had no criminal charges or conviction, the federal data shows.”

One odd part of being in your 50s, that no one prepares you for? that you know WAY FEWER people working the doors at bars and clubs, and way fewer DJs with extra comps... And you feel yourself over your 'i'm cute i'll just smile and flare my eyebrows and show off my chest hair and get-in phase. :-)

Couple weeks back it really looked like so-called "Alligator Alcatraz" was going to close and most prisoners had been transferred. Sadly, no. apnews.com/article/flor...

When our President is an active and fervent white supremacist who foments division and hate at every turn, Fox News really gets to Fox News all over themselves. I would call for these people to be fired but they are literally doing what they are paid to do.

Know that there are Much bigger fish to fry these days, but I really need the Gods to save Coney Island from Thor Equities.

Prob we should all be talking about how racist Cuomo and his campaign are

I sure wish one of those film critics i follow would make a handy-dandy 'Films you read about at Cannes etc. That You Should Follow when they're theatrical and streaming list" -- 'cause it's kinda hard to track them? @rosmantic.bsky.social @mattzollerseitz.bsky.social @ebertvoices.bsky.social

Once you get over all the human rights v military occupation fascism plutocracy questions - there’s still a few key questions:

LIVE NOW: the fight to keep Coney as Coney Island - to not wipe out all the small games and foods and make a giant casino: www.youtube.com/live/mdFwBSc...

Woke up this morning to hear news that Rump is once again trying to revoke the FCC licenses of ABC and NBC. Pls tell any conflicted friends that THIS is what destroying Free Speech is. Trump calls for FCC to revoke ABC and NBC licenses www.npr.org/2025/08/25/n...

The older i get - the more i think that all those shitty violence-ridden crime dramas on CBS really convinced people that everything's gone to hell, and in radical need of fascist solutions. BEGGING THE QUESTION: Can we agit-prop around "Imaginary Fears"? It needs a name.

Let’s be careful out there

My short-hand read of this is that BOTH Cuomo and Adams are trying to get each other to drop-out and endorse them. BOTH corrupt politicians need redemption arcs in their stories. But what could Cuomo offer Adams from the Mayor's office? [more in replies] nymag.com/intelligence...

The whole mercenary thing is just so fuckin weird and awful.

In an incredible and historic interview, Lakota historian, writer, and scholar Nick Estes sat down with Leonard Peltier for an in-depth conversation— about Leonard’s origins with the Red Power movement and ultimately AIM, about the sinister tactics of the FBI, and about Anna Mae Pictou Aquash.

I don't have words to describe the disgust I feel for the overwhelming majority of academic institutions at this period in our history Quislings, guarding money and access

The trailer for THE RUNNING MAN had me so hyped, I clicked through the O.G. novel description and I - oop -

As has been noted countless time - IF this was True, by this logic, then Fred Trump and Mary Trump would not have been citizens. And neither would ol' OrangeHead neither. (And illegal for him to be President.) And.. Melania would not have got papers via Tp, and Baron would not be a citizen.

This headline is amazing

They never explained Musk's black eye, right? I'm getting feeling it was Bannon, as they squabbled over who'd be lead Courtier.

THIS is so from the Gestapo / Stazi / KGB directive playbook... i'd missed this story (published Sun June 1) - And NYC now relies on national media for news... BUT - You know how DHS/ICE have to have warrants to search and arrest warrants?

You guys remember CopWatch - that Appsometime between to record cops - That would automatically upload to their server on the web, so even if you got arrested or head cracked the footage was immediately public? ...it's nothing now ... BUT WHAT IS THE EQUIVALENT APP FOR ICE WATCH? Pls let me know.

The following is statement from the Writers Guild of America East (WGAE) on the firing of Shira Perlmutter immediately following the release of the U.S. Copyright Office’s Report on Generative AI Training:

Hard to know if any activism could cause a pivot in policy nowadays - but i kinda want some org to create some ongoing spots of mourning, Some Wailing Walls, in NYC, in SF, in DC... so that there can be a constant flow of cries and tears till US pulls funding, + Bibi's right-wing fascists relent.

Anyone got a clinic/office in Brooklyn, that you like, that still offers Covid vaccine boosters? Most around me have stopped.

As much as i hate influencer-style explainer videos - the recorded dialogue between reporters is a form that pre-dates tik-tok significantly - And because the journalists' job and lives are collecting and making sense of facts, and multi-sourcing perspectives - they can be useful. Link in comment

Neither to be mistaken for "Four Seasons Lodge" the indie documentary, which streams on Amazon. // Can't recall if the Alda movie was terrific - but seem to recall it was at least pretty good.
