I’m traveling to Mexico City and Oaxaca and would like some historical fiction to take along. These titles look great but looking for more suggestions: The Lacuna - Kingsolver, Velvet was the Night - Moreno Garcia, Lost in Oaxaca - Mireles. #booksky #books #mexico #mexicocity #oaxaca

#TODAY Largest veteran led action since Vïetnam about to step off in #Phïlly. There is no organized resistance against rising authoritarianïsm in this country‼️ #Freedom #Fäscism #PA

I do not think there is sufficient appreciation for how catastrophic yesterday’s decision in Slaughter is for this country. As Justice Sotomayor said in her dissent and she intoned from the bench yesterday, “today the majority reshapes our Govt.”

KARL: Rs are gonna make you the poster child for the D Party MAMDANI: Let them. We don't have to ask ourselves what life looks like if a socialist wins. I won last year & over the course of the last 6 months what we've delivered for working people are the very things we were told were impossible.

Americans: soccer is dumb Rest of the World: soccer is life A: Soccer might be cool but that off sides rule is dumb RotW: It’s not that difficult A: Okay, we get it RotW: Well, it’s a little more complicated than that

It’s funny how all the criticisms of Democratic socialism end up sounding like endorsements

The ICE agent who killed Renee Good is named Jonathan Ross, and he should be indicted. www.syracuse.com/news/2026/06...

Please read and call. Flood the zone.

To me it is simply about seeing a more serious politician stand up to a total buffoon. As much as I disagree with Meloni I think she takes her role seriously and still has some sense of her responsibility to govern her country. That’s not veneration. Just what used to be normal.

Dear Brazilian, Ecuadorian, Hattian, and Ivory Coast football fans, Thank you for making this past week here in Philly one of the best in living memory. Thanks for visiting, please stay.

Oh my $&cking gawd. This is amazing.

Several House Republicans tried to impeach Joe Biden for dereliction of duty following the Afganistán withdrawal. I’m wondering if the entire Iran kit ‘n bamboozle is really the most impeachable offense committed by Trump to date.

Just read a random comment where someone referred to the GOP as the Human Centipede so now I’ll be thinking about the movie for the rest of the week 🤦🏻‍♂️.

This is how we apply pressure to our electeds. Mikie screwed up, and we have to help her make a clear shift. A few CRI volunteers quoted here. @indivisible.org

My sixteen year old saw Obsession tonight with some other underage friends and now he’s saying he might not be able to sleep tonight. Lesson learned? 🫣😱🤣

@willbunch.bsky.social has been providing some of the best journalism on ICE, exposing details like this: “of the 50 or so ICE detainees who’ve died under the Trump regime, nearly a third were of Asian descent.”

Because grandpa can’t form coherent sentences, it is our fault for taking his words out of context. I’m not sure what’s more damning — a president claiming to love inflation, or a president not being able to articulate that he was surprised inflation wasn’t higher.

I’m very excited for this! On a summer evening in 1972, a pivotal generation of Harlem Renaissance legends gathered at Duke Ellington’s townhouse. The trailer for “Once Upon a Time in Harlem” is out:

The cheating is so diabolical and so far upstream it’s impossible to prove. The winner of a basketball game should be determined in the first half. There’s no possible way the Spurs could lose after being up by 29. Totally rigged game.

What does it take for the media to determine that a source’s opinion or perspective is irrelevant?

Both teams really seemed like they had fun tonight.

And immediately after stoking the conspiracy theories he adds, “We need people to believe in the integrity of our elections.” 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

Hell yes, former Interior Secretary Deb Haaland has won the New Mexico Democratic primary for Governor and if elected, she will make history as the nation's first Native American governor. 💙

One of many reasons, and probably one of the more rational ones, that I love my favorite baseball team.

Yikes — Gov @mikiesherrill.bsky.social community noted for lying about who knocked over the barricades (spoiler: it was the police)

The NJ state cops Gov. Mikie Sherrill said would "lower the temperature" outside ICE's Delaney Hall instead brought the heat, staging a police riot with tear gas, rubber bullets and flash-bangs Our oppressive police state fights the wrong guys, again My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/miki...

Is the enshittification of Google with AI driving you crazy? Imagine what it's like for newsrooms and other publishers seeing their web traffic disappear under an apocalypse called "Google Zero" Google and the threat to democracy. My new column www.inquirer.com/columnists/a...

Lots of activists are gathering at Delaney Hall. Governor Sherrill was there today. Please help bring more attention to this situation.

Seashell Indictment. Can we make that stick please?

Some Zuzu for you-you.

Love that little sis doesn’t want to let go 😭

News from Jersey gothamist.com/news/mejia-w...

Amazing work by voters of Hungary today. Ending democratic backsliding requires a public that chooses to embrace democratic norms and reject autocracy - and the Hungarian people did just that. Since my recent work explores authoritarianism, thought I'd share some observations from the literature:

Hungary’s turnout is BRUTAL: 37.98% by 11am (2022: 22.77%), pointing to 75–80% or more overall. In such a scenario, Orbán’s chances look slim, and it’s unlikely any party beyond Fidesz and Péter Magyar’s Tisza clears the 5% threshold. Follow me for more #HungaryElection updates.

We're terrible neighbors right now, and it hurts to keep caring. Care anyway. You are needed.

Has anyone ever eaten the little nubby thing at the bottom of a banana, and if so, did you survive? I’m not talking about in a smoothie, which would obviously be okay. I mean like just popping that creepy little thing in your mouth like you’re some sort of badass.

American hero.

Pete Hegseth’s broker tried to line up a multimillion-dollar investment in defense companies just weeks before the US –Israeli attack on Iran. Now it’s blowing up on Hegseth. 🚨 Today House Oversight opened an investigation & wants answers from Hegseth, plus execs at Morgan Stanley and BlackRock.

Let's focus on something we ALL agree on: #ReleaseTheEPSTEIN_Files

My friend @dannagal.bsky.social absolutely killing it at the No Kings rally in Camden, New Jersey! @crindivisible.bsky.social @indivisible.org

No Kings3, Camden, New Jersey! @crindivisible.bsky.social

“If there is not a No Kings protest within 30 minutes or so of where you live, you should probably be organizing your own — both to make the point on March 28, but also to start organizing your own community for what comes next.” - Ezra Join us on Saturday: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings

Mad Bob and Olivia in the studio together is simultaneously creepy and beautiful, which now that I think of it, is about the best way I can describe The Cure’s five decades of work.

What’s that line about the tangled web we weave?

Pretty sure my 18-year-old cat could bury Fetterman in a primary right now.

Kudos to @theguardian.com for this live feed on the Iran War, which is broadening every day into a much wider Middle East Crisis. They are putting US legacy media to shame.
