In case some of the “talking heads” are missing it, this is the magnetic north of the Dem party: 1) get money out of politics 2) get America out of forever wars 3) stop using our money and political power to abet genocide 4) Medicare for all 5) tax the rich and corporations 6) regulate AI

I will not let Republicans off the hook for the pain they have caused and the chaos they have unleashed by overturning Roe v. Wade.   You voted to confirm Trump’s SCOTUS nominees? You own this chaos and suffering.

Prime Day reminder that Amazon... -Helps fuel ICE's deportations -Gave $1M to Trump's inauguration -Scrapped plans to display tariff costs after pressure from Trump -Shelled out $75M for the Melania doc -Donated to Trump's ballroom -Wants to reboot The Apprentice w/ Don Jr

The sentencing here is so absurd, it's a miscarriage of justice. A guy who wasn't present or involved got 30 years for moving a box of zines. The two people who helped plan January 6th, Enrique Tarrio and Stewart Rhodes got 22 years and 18 years for seditious conspiracy, respectively.

A cartoonist named Daniel "Des" Rolando Sanchez Estrada was tried as a terrorist and sentenced to 30 years in prison for having anti-Trump comics in his car. Prosecutors connected him to a 2025 anti-ICE protest he didn't even attend because he was in the same book club as others who were.

One of today's political prisoners. Cartoonist & zine maker Daniel Rolando Sanchez Estrada wasn't even at the ICE protest. He was accused of "moving" a box of anti-Trump zines THE NEXT DAY. A rightwing judge sentenced him to 30 years! Just for possessing zines. The darkness is descending.

This is older but...oh yes. Please stop illustrating heat waves with beach days. Like that was cute when a heat wave wasn't DEADLY. Use wildfires. People working outside in these horrible conditions. People sweating! www.jezebel.com/deadly-heat-...

It's Election Day and I'm embedded with the @bradlander.bsky.social campaign in NY-10, documenting the day! Here's Lander walking to the polling site at the Y on 9th street in Park Slope at the crack of dawn. Big day ahead! Get out and vote, friends! findmypollsite.vote.nyc

Since he's returned to office Trump has attacked the Smithsonian as "out of control" where everything discussed "is how horrible our country is, how bad slavery was." Lonnie Bunch has been the person who has put himself between Trump and the Smithsonian. This is the story of his work to protect it.

Hi- good sources from left perspectives on Sudan? Putting together an anti imperialism zine - thank you

Storyboard artists, often closest and most integral to realizing a director's vision, are a relatively cheap part of the process. Often their role is disparaged, or not even understood. And yet one of the main goals of AI in film production seems to be to replicate what they do.

This is excellent. Worth looking past the electoralism headline since this is really a moral argument drawing on civil rights history.

Just put the cat in charge already!

The rise of larger vehicles like SUVs and pickup trucks, with their taller hoods and larger blind zones, has contributed to a 75% increase in pedestrian and cyclist deaths since 2009. Until we design better streets and ban these vehicles, people outside these vehicles will keep dying.

I would like a side-by-side account of the cost of: the Iran war, the reflecting pool, the ballroom, the Qatari plane, the WWE fight; DOJ settlement payoffs (like to Ashli Babbitt) and any other vanity projects I'm missing; compared with all of the "waste and fraud" supposedly saved by the DOGE cuts

Happy Father’s Day, New York City!

This year, we’re celebrating some of New York’s Dads whose children followed them into service as City workers. 

From Sanitation to Education to FDNY, these families keep our City running. Pictured: Captain Felix Valentin and Firefighter Stephanie Valentin.

Happy summer solstice to all who celebrate. This is the official start of the astronomical summer in the northern hemisphere, and almost when the Earth is its furthest point from the Sun by ~5 million km (3.1 million miles). That’s in about two weeks.

Figuring out arrangement and where to place the breath

My most recent story "Norah's Handkerchief" was created for the National Archives & it's about the aftermath of Juneteenth & how former enslaved folks searched for family members through Last Seen Ads until they were forced to leave Galveston, Texas.

Here’s my idea — instead of trying to get rid of the algae, embrace it. Wetland restoration on the whole thing. Reeds and muck and red-winged blackbirds. A monument to the city’s ecological past.

So fucking embarrassing and every creator or critic or journalist or content creator who took part in this nostalgic whitewashing of his horrendous views and statements should be ashamed.

Pregnant mothers often wrote goodbye letters to their families in case they died in childbirth.

Since the start of his tenure as secretary of defense, Pete Hegseth has sought to delegitimize the accomplishments—and the very presence—of Black people in the military, @clintsmithiii.bsky.social writes.

Need summer reading on food and farming? Check out our book guide, which features books by and about farmers and perspectives to bear in mind as lawmakers consider the farm bill.

The Trump admin appears to have quietly revised language in an obscure grant program, redefining frozen embryos as children. Repro health experts described the move as “a Trojan horse” — creating a precedent that could threaten access to fertility treatments like IVF and ban abortion nationwide.

The night sky has been a global celestial commons for millennia. Now, a few billionaire tech bros and allied governments want to carve it up for commercial development. insideclimatenews.org/news/1306202...

“With data centers, you have a smelly, loud, expensive thing that’s going to take your money for the benefit of billionaires,” says the Maryland Congressional candidate. “What is there to like about something like that? Nothing.” https://bit.ly/4eu85sb

I guess one difference between Jim Crow then and Jim Crow now is that we have cool graphics to show how it's done.

NO is one of the most critical words every decent human being needs to use in this age of fascism, "A.i.," ICE, anti-trans bigotry, eugenics, and billionaire propaganda. NO. Refuse to participate. Refuse to buy. Refuse to agree. Refuse to even smile and nod politely. Say NO. All the time.

I don't think I like the narrative of being in a divided country. When somebody is racist I don't have a difference of opinion with that person. they have a moral failing. I'm not obliged to reach over the boundary and explain that we could probably swap kidneys if we needed. Who has the time lol

This item that will combine our forces will put the US military at the disposal of Israel. We see how terribly wrong that’s gone. Today they are saying they will go it alone without America in Iran and Lebanon, that we have no say over their actions. How does that work by integrating militaries?
