Full gym today—Palm Springs Pride weekend always turns it into a kind of gay Grand Central, all pumped chests and pre-parade anxiety. Crowded, yes. But still able to find my light.

BREAKING: Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson issues an administrative stay in the SNAP benefits case, for the First Circuit to issue its ruling on the stay request (“with dispatch”). Her administrative stay ends 48 hours after that ruling is issued (or upon further order).

Young women have had it with your shit.

Abigail Spanberger is carrying young voters by 35-points. Mikie Sherril is carrying young voters 2:1. They thought Gen Z was MAGA. They were wrong.

Octavio Paz wrote, “Between going and staying the day wavers, in love with its own transparency.” Peace, I’ve learned, doesn’t come from arrival or departure. It hides in that trembling space between—the slow exhale when you finally stop deciding who you’re supposed to be.

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions "Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

In Día de los Muertos tradition, candles guide spirits home, each flame a beacon. Some are for loved ones returning, but others—candles for the lost—are for souls with no altar, and no one waiting. Gestures for the forgotten. Sometimes the “lost” we’re lighting candles for are closer than we think.

RFK Jr: "The causative association between Tylenol given in pregnancy in the paranatal periods is not sufficient to say it definitely causes autism. But it is very suggestive."

The WH is bleaching culture out of our life: replacing complexity with comfort, difference with denial. They call it restoration; it’s erasure. Each of us has a share of the weight. We are the new Atlantes, holding up the pluralism others would collapse. The burden is heavy — but it’s sacred.

Just for the record, in 2020: - Wray was the FBI director Trump handpicked to replace Comey - Jack Smith was in the Hague prosecuting Kosovo war crimes - Garland was an appeals court judge - Monaco was in private practice in LA There was no Biden administration yet, crooked or otherwise. He crazy.

NEW: Kelly O. Hayes - one of the prosecutors that signed the Bolton indictment - told Todd Blanche the case against Schiff is not strong enough to charge. Let's see whether Trump can find someone in Maryland willing to indict Schiff. This is from Carol Leonnig at MSNBC.

Updating my LEGO White House

Trump: "They're gonna lose Medicaid, they're gonna lose Social Security, they're gonna lose Medicare -- all of those things are gonna be gone because the whole country would be bankrupt and you're not gonna have any kind of medical insurance. With us it's the opposite."

2. Rolling Stone is owned by a large media conglomerate, which is ending remote work across its brands. My home is Portland, Oregon, ~1,000 miles from the nearest office, so this marks the end of the line for me at RS.

She gets all the flowers. I mean ALL of them. If we see her, we immediately have to give her flowers.

BREAKING WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court on Tuesday rejected an appeal from Alex Jones and left in place the $1.4 billion judgment against him over his description of the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting as a hoax staged by crisis actors.

Amazing Emergency Naked Ride. Here’s the moment thousands of riders rolled through the protests at the ICE facility and cheers erupted. 😮💯

JESUS CHRIST, Hi and Lois what the fuck

I don’t think Biden was president on J6.

Yesterday I was told that the class I’m scheduled to teach this month, Confronting Oppression & Injustice, is no longer part of our curriculum. This is a required class yet there was no discussion, no faculty vote, just an email saying the class no longer exists. This is what it’s like in Texas now.

"The Labor Department warned in an obscure document filed with the Federal Register last week that 'the near total cessation of the inflow of illegal aliens' is threatening 'the stability of domestic food production and prices for U.S. consumers.'”

Hegseth: "I'm also proud that today we're signing a letter of acceptance to build a Qatari Emeri air force facility at the Mountain Home Airbase in Idaho."

You know that Hegseth wants to yell out "NEVER BEEN CIRCUMCISED" and then stare pointedly at Lutnick.

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov 37 and Kedzie, East Garfield, Illinois. This is assault.

But texting about sending the 82 Airborne into Portland in plain view of someone able to video the exchanges and capture enough evidence that the @startribune.com could verify isn’t all! There’s also this

Am I protecting my heart or offering it? That’s the question. The joy is real--but philosophers will say joy is fleeting, a trick of circumstance. Fine. Let’s call it both, though weighted toward offering. Because joy isn’t invention, its recognition. 📸: @coxpix.bsky.social

Never has a group developed so complete a hearing problem as Republicans confronted with actual words that Trump has said over the last decade.

I hate to be petty but man there are absolutely some editors and publishers in my past who I hope notice that my kickstarter funded in 3.5 hours.

Plato reminds me the gods endowed men with two arts, cultural and physical, “not for the soul and body separately, but together, that they may be in harmony with one another by tension and relaxation.” Solid sentiment. But then I look at my feed, I think: Well, we've found the tension.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court allows Lisa Cook to remain as a Federal Reserve Board Governor for now. The court schedules oral arguments for January on DOJ's request to allow Trump's purported firing of Cook to take effect during litigation.
