It’s Monday — time to FAFO with the always intimidating Maxine Waters!

The "boring suburban dad." The son of an immigrant. And the political disrupter. They're three members of the "Broadview Six." And they say they have "nothing to apologize for." From @chicago.suntimes.com: chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

@josie.zone I'm 💯 hooked. 📖❤️‍🔥

Now beginneth Seven Days in June, Cleve Jones's call to attention to the healthcare crisis and commemoration of the 45th anniversary of the AIDS crisis. Candlelight vigils nationwide on the 5th. Lots of info at the link.

My new book is selling well. The publisher calls it "a hit".... www.versobooks.com/en-gb/produc...

He was speaking facts so they had to target him. Thats called FASCISM

Love that AI was always a scam to drive tech investment and widespread asset procurement, a fake product that could cement the takeover of government and the economy, and then when the rollout was actually started all these businesses had to pay for the margin between the promise and reality.

Since the teaser trailer for Backrooms is out I thought I'd share a piece I wrote a while ago. leila-taylor.ghost.io/youve-been-h...

TO THOSE ASKING WHICH RETAILER I'D PREFER YOU BUY FROM... The publisher's site (linked below) is the surest way for me to get maximal payment But Bookshop.org is also great and has it listed, if you'd prefer to use a superstore!

Serving up some Booker-nominated books you're bound to savour. 🍽️ These novels will make you hungry — but food is never just food. It's love, chaos and cultural identity. Tap the link below for the full reading list.

Giant People with 🌈Rainbow Halos, aka Brocken Specters. Happy Pride Month!

Wake up babes it's time to trot. Pride Month is coming in hot.

The folks at Fox continue to insist that anti-ICE protesters are paid. Hard hats and scarves are not proof of anything. The network has yet to provide actual evidence that any protesters are paid.

Today's threads (a thread) Inside: Molly Crabapple's 'Here Where We Live Is Our Country'; and more! Archived at: pluralistic.net/2026/06/01/d... #Pluralistic 1/

happy pride!

Who the Hell is Michael Tracey? feat. @robertsilverman.bsky.social Join us for an excruciating deep dive into Tracey’s “career” as we try to explain how he’s managed to keep thrusting himself into the spotlight www.patreon.com/posts/159690...

Wow. Jameis Winston gets real about the continuing relevance of history. "I'm from a city Birmingham Alabama..." Watch the whole thing. youtube.com/shorts/zhxbT...

I know it’s a big ask, but everyone needs to watch more interviews and panels with CEOs. They are so disturbing and repellent but to really face the reality of not only the fact we’re in a class war but the nature of who it is we’re battling, and the future they are authoring, is essential.

Sassafras enjoys head scritches. To maintain silent flight, owls sacrifice standard waterproofing. Instead of using waterproof preening oil, they rely on specialized "powder down" feathers that crumble into a fine, water-repellent, and dirt-absorbing dust.

Sassafras is a lover. Every December, he offers mealworms to the women in his life (the zoo staff) as part of courtship involving a special hoot & food gifts. Screech owls are socially monogamous, mate for life, but they repeat courtship behaviors every winter in preparation for mating.

Can I interest you in a moist owlette as a timeline cleanse? This is Sassafras the Eastern Screech Owl from the Cincinnati Zoo (@cincinnatizoo.bsky.social, but via their FB) and I love him very much. Eastern Screech Owls (Megascops asio) are native to eastern North America.

Unnoticed by whom, @NPR? Because for DECADES every thinking woman I know has been trying desperately to get even ostensibly independent media (public radio, for instance!) to focus on the misogyny at the core of mass shootings, far-right organizing, and online hate campaigns
