It had started to seem like a good idea to get a gun

Timely heat wave reminder that if you have a car, is not expensive to get a 24 pack of supermarket brand bottled water and keep it in your trunk and pull over to offer it to people who look like they are having a hard fucking time. Helping also makes you feel a little less helpless

Bizarre story: Two journalists were removed by police from a corporate-sponsored Freedom 250 event in Brussels after they asked US Ambassador to Belgium Bill White about his threat against an American citizen/Belgian resident who had emailed Zac Brown Band urging them not to perform at the event.

"Remember, it’s not white-collar crime if you’re wearing a hoodie" has been the San Francisco city motto for about a decade now.

REMINDER: SCOTUS' Haitian TPS decision doesn't require employers take immediate action. Employers can await SCOTUS' final judgement and federal implementation guidance before making employment decisions affecting TPS holders. My office will continue to monitor developments and share resources.

Death of the author indeed

I was so worried about his fingers 😬

I hereby declare that Rudy Giuliani be stripped of the title "America's Mayor" for multiple reasons and nominate Zohan Mamdani

I didn’t climb to the spire of the Empire State Building but I did stack my chicken nuggets up to 19 high before they fell so if anyone cares about the power of love yall can clap

10/ 6️⃣ Know the difference between heat exhaustion and heat stroke Heat exhaustion can often be treated by cooling down and rehydrating, but heat stroke is a medical emergency. If someone becomes confused, loses consciousness, or has a very high body temperature, call 911 immediately.

It should also be noted that Glusenkamp Perez is one of the Dems that regularly votes for anti-trans legislation. She voted for a bill that, if enacted, would basically make it illegal to acknowledge the existence of trans people in schools (meaning trans students and trans teachers are SOL)

yes to all of this.

BREAKING: days before budget deadline, 70 orgs deliver letter to @mayor.nyc.gov urging him to reverse NYPD expansion, stop broken windows policing, and invest in what really makes NYers safe - housing, healthcare & community-based support. Read here: www.justicecommittee.org/post/70orgs-...

A massive Georgia data center drained nearly 30 million gallons of water, sparking outrage among local residents asked to conserve water during a drought. Residents of Fayetteville, Georgia, first noticed something was wrong when their home water pressure mysteriously plummeted.

A Democratic Socialist born in 1997 just beat a Democrat who first took office in 1997

I'm going to bed but suffice it to say that we will continue to organize until the Mayor lives up to his promise and the City Council delivers. The fight continues...

Not a great economy alert! Wall Street Bets users think Palantir spiked today because The Onion story titled “Palantir Acquires Pentagon for $800 Billion” hit their front page. They’re guessing trading bots indexed the top post on the subreddit reddit not understanding source.

Thank you so much for all of your happy birthday wishes. Honestly, I don’t really feel 100. I feel pretty good. I feel like I’m only 98!

"You're just virtue signaling!" Yes. Yes we fucking are. And?

Picking the right door as a young Black person can be a matter of life or death. A lower-stakes example: I tell people who are nervous about canvassing their neighborhood to start with the people who have signs indicating similar values. Gestures matter if they help us find each other.

This is bone-chilling. A conservative hedge fund manager wants to require little girls to pass genital inspections for their “safety.” And it’s only for girls’ sports. There’s a clear link between transphobia and child sexual abuse.

Also let's just say this is the Nazi VP of the United States complaining about them... So at the very least, they piss him off. That alone is a win in my book.

Obviously this is a dipshit opinion. But since I sometimes see people on the left rolling their eyes about those signs, I just want you all to know that the other night some lost Black teens came to our house after taking the wrong bus and we were able to get them home. Why’d they pick us? Signs.

sure, just put that anywhere

The largest crowd is for the “America’s Rodeo” exhibit. I count two small bleachers. Basically imagine the away crowd for a high school football game, in a state where football isn’t especially popular.

thread. I chuckled.

It is 90 degrees in DC and I am on my way to the Great American State Fair. This had better be funny, because it sure isn’t going to be good!

Eating a Costco hot dog is not rebellion, it's resignation. A thread... 🧵 I've been out of work for over a year. This has been an eye opening adventure into seeing the world. One day I decided to take advantage of my "freedom" by doing my Costco shopping in the off hours, avoiding the terror...

my god

Now do the second ammendment and how the founding fathers did not anticipate assault rifles when they wrote it.

Do people who've never lived in Washington have a sense of how titanic a labor it is to get the Mall this empty, especially near the Fourth of July? Normally the monuments and Smithsonian would look _carpeted_ with tourists right now. Even 'Gigli' didn't chase people off like this.

Everytime I read TERF logic I just come to the conclusion they hate women. Like they have defined womanhood entirely by suffering and that is SAD. If being "socialized female" means being taught you're weak and less than then seems the priority should be changing that.

So he's gonna advocate for all people with depression to get four months off for rehabilitation, right? And he's gonna tell RFK jr to fuck off with his quest to limit the medication that Kean is very clearly taking to be functional?

In these fake-ass times you begin to appreciate good old natural cringe.

If vehicles keep swelling, cities “could lose between 8.5-14% of their on-street parking capacity by 2040. London and Berlin alone are each projected to shed around 100K spaces…in dense cities, it’s a major issue worldwide.” #Carspreading pushes out more than parking spots. Tax cars by the inch.

Fox chyron: GREAT AMERICAN STATE FAIR CELEBRATES MAHA MOVEMENT Fox footage: *people gagging on pancakes and nearly puking*

Two of my oldest gay friends - in fact just two of my oldest friends full stop - just got homophobically attacked. They’re both in tech so I’m sure a number of you guys know them too. The most important thing is that they’re not (I think) permanently damaged. But it was a close run thing.
