Our buddies at @crimethinc.com just published a ICE watch guide coming out of the Bay Area. Great guidance and lessons learned. It comes with a zine. crimethinc.com/2026/07/16/p...

Andrew Tate has been arrested in Miami

Uncle in Iran says the country’s south is being destroyed. Trump is following through on his “bridge and power plant day” threats but it’s simply not registering here the way that it should.

Israeli soldiers kidnapped and raped Anna Liedtke, a 25-year-old German activist, as she tried to bring lifesaving aid to Palestinians in Gaza. “This is not just my personal experience [...] I cannot stress enough that it is way, way less than what Palestinian prisoners experience.”

Spectacular Hilma af Klint retrospective in Paris this month.

I feel like it's my Bluesky community service to post cheese stuff here. Now that the Best of Show winner has been announced, I can finally post this pic of the American Cheese Society judging! Congrats Jasper Hill Winnimere as the 2026 Best cheese in the Americas!

I join many former members today in telling you that NO, The Satanic Temple is not an LGBTQ+ ally, and has actually ruined quite a few people's lives. I suggest you watch this video: youtu.be/3lV8GLQtOTs?...

because the fundamentalist orthodoxy i was raised in was clearly inadequate but the culture-wide propaganda against socialism & the deeply embedded misogyny of evangelical upbringing made it impossible for me to see truly equitable ways forward till after decades of educating & deprogramming myself

i can finally plug an antenna directly into my tv again without anything else plugged in and use it as just a tv

What did I tell you guys

i'm a spartan, you have enraged me, and for that i'm going to rape a malnourished child, bankrupt myself paying ISIS to fail to destroy my enemies, then become an irrelevant curio for the rest of time

"let's go see the odyssey" "we have the odyssey at home"

Kills guys every single year and it's all the worse because heat stroke is easy to prevent and treat. One of our student athletes was killed in two-a-days in 2018--Jordan McNair. Coach ignored the signs, screamed at him to get moving. Prez investigated, fired the coach. Regents fired the prez.

so uh why are or i guess were so many queer folks working for the cia then

Our two investigations into Madison Square Garden are now unpaywalled and free for anyone to read.

I did some digging in this and thread below on places you might encounter Taylor Farms in addition to lettuce -- they sell onions and cilantro to restaurants so don't order dishes with those raw. The other big one is unlabelled grocery store deli fruit and veggie snacks, or cold sandwiches.

NEW: Aurora Police say an ICE detention center employee shot a protester last night. She is expected to survive. 42-year-old Brandon Booth, who works for the ICE contractor GEO Group, is being held on suspicion of attempted second degree murder and other charges.

As with so many things, it is critical to realize this is not bumbling or ineptitude or not thinking through policy implications. On the contrary: making it impossible for foreign students to do the doctorate here is THE WHOLE POINT. It’s about starving higher ed under the guise of America first.

imagine this country being willing to recognize the humanity and dignity of people detained and incarcerated. imagine what else could happen then

a few good Jessica’s

The opening chapter to #Nostos #Unflattening 2 is a 22 page, 15 foot long continuous sequence that is a retelling of the Odyssey. It’s been done since 2019 and I’ve been pushing to have it released as a standalone since to no avail, & really hoping before this movie, but here we are. A sneak peek…

“Recall of Space King No Girls Allowed Lunch Box Cup for excessive levels of lead” My god there’s an entire gender studies *textbook* in that

Who could possibly have foreseen etc

June 10: Ken Paxton receives $275,000 from the chair of the board of regents at Texas Tech, which faces potential sanctions by the Big 12 over a quarterback at the center of a betting scandal. June 11: Paxton threatens the Big 12 with a $200 million lawsuit if they sanction Texas Tech.

looks like he bounced around a clown car of violence work: National Guard, then US Army deployed in Afghanistan (Army would not release the details of his discharge) then Veterans Affairs police and a stint as a corrections officer

OMG DHS appears to say that it will apply this rule about changing majors to ADDING a major, telling students who need double majors to "plan ahead and enroll in both at the same time." These people are intent on killing America's university system. They are not this stupid.

The most anti-legal immigrant administration ever just made it illegal for international students to transfer schools or change majors or shift any "educational objective" in their 1st year and for graduate students **at any point** ever, at all. There is no legal basis for this
