his smoke is horrible to inhale, and inhale it you must, and not only that, but you must live in it for the time

I am deeply disturbed by the shooting in Utah. Doug and I send our prayers to Charlie Kirk and his family. Let me be clear: Political violence has no place in America. I condemn this act, and we all must work together to ensure this does not lead to more violence.

NEW: Last week, oil literally rained down on a Black town in rural Louisiana where 60% of folks live in poverty. The company isn’t taking responsibility & the federal + state governments are saying residents have to clean it up themselves. capitalbnews.org/louisiana-oi...

There are tons of graphic novels, academic papers, film and TV scripts, & prose novels/nonfiction on the LibGen list Anthropic used. As settlement approaches, make it easy for the class action lawyers to contact you! Here’s how Part 1: is your work in Libgen? www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...

And they said this is why they needed all the 2A machine guns

I was just denied access to the Moshannon Valley Detention Center with a weak letter from ICE full of lies. There are human beings being held in horrific conditions in this facility. We will keep showing up to do our jobs no matter how hard ICE or the Trump admin tries to hide.

It's really hard to handle everything around you being guided by the imaginary vibes of people who are afraid of subways and writing their own emails.

The military can’t solve unaffordable housing… So this is not about addressing a concern… This is about protecting an illusion

There is no crime problem… “Crime” is a response to a problem The problem is poverty… The problem is inequity

Recently, my book THEY CALLED US ENEMY was banned – again – in Tennessee. Book bans are out of control. Huge parts of American history are being restricted.

I don't often post about publicity work here (maybe I should?) but I love this project bc a) Radical 1930s feminists b) Predates CYOA by about 50 yrs c) My folks are in Bangor and I learned the story I pitched went live in an email from my dad 😆 share.google/1sSSBBDY7Eps...

Imagine if Trump showed even 1% of his South Park outrage toward stopping gun violence. But that would mean caring more about kids lives than his ego.

Gaza faces a severe humanitarian crisis as Israeli restrictions on aid lead to widespread malnutrition and starvation, with hospitals overwhelmed by malnourished children.

"Groceries" is only a strangely quaint and obscure word to someone who a) has never in his life done the weekly grocery shopping and b) has a 2nd grade vocabulary.

Monstrous: "They were crying in fear. One of the agents at one point lifted up his shirt, which displayed the gun that he was carrying....The 6-year-old boy was terrified to see the gun. He urinated on himself and wet all his clothing. No one offered him a change of clothing for many hours."

i am simply asking the press to cover the government sending masked thugs to rip people from their crying children and shipping them to a foreign concentration camp with the same ferocity they cover a trans kid playing jv tennis in sheboygan

I need an A24 film of THE FISHERMAN *yesterday*! www.themarysue.com/10-fantasy-b...

leftists: that thing you teach us in school to be terrified of is happening historians: that thing is definitely happening star wars: here is a beat-for-beat breakdown of how the thing happens, but with pew pew lasers. we know you watched it news outlets: these protesters are out of control

A thought for the book clubs! Set aside a little time at the start of meetings to fight for the right to read. Members send emails, sign petitions, write postcards. Research local candidates. 10-15 minutes tops & then onto the book, wine, fun. Amplify your activism. Celebrate your community.

The leopards They are eating each other yes YES The leopards are HUNGRY

O Lord, they fight! I will go call the watch.

An infuriating, illuminating thread. The shell company game is evil.

I need to know that someone is making a film (better yet, a miniseries) of THE REFORMATORY by @tananarivedue.bsky.social or my soul will know no peace

Hurricane season starts June 1 and if you live in a Gulf state, you need to watch this. It’s worse than you might think. The few employees still left at FEMA admit: they are not prepared. Not enough staff. Not enough supplies. Not enough leadership. Plan accordingly.

I love to sew for myself and have resolved to buy fewer new clothes in the last 3 years. It's great! BUT it's not for everyone. It's an investment of time, skill, and money. Also? Telling ppl to go make their own clothes when the most beginner-friendly fabric chain just unalived itself? Ok.

HAPPENING NOW: Cory Booker is giving a marathon speech for as long as possible to protest Trump. Watch live here:

This is cool. The Guardian recreated a searchable climate future risk tool (wildfire, extreme heat, drought, hurricane, and coastal flood) for the US that was developed by FEMA but deleted by the Trump administration’s ‘climate’ purge.
