A little warmer than usual in Santa Cruz today

Where are the student protests? The real answer isn’t that students decided to shut up. It’s that universities and a hostile federal government have expended massive resources trying to ensure they do.

cackling like a fucking hyena

STREET PROTEST- CIVIL RIGHTS My wife and I hope to see all of you on the street tomorrow to protest our corrupt Supreme Court ruling destroying civil rights, taking our country back 200 years, generations of work and progress destroyed by 6 racists. May 16th, 2026 National Protest Civil Rights

BREAKING: SB 2471 has been signed into law! It’s the first of its kind in the nation and renders the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision irrelevant in Hawaii. This is a win for the movement to get big money, especially dark money, out of politics.

Drake rates his own albums now

How’s he getting back?

BREAKING: SCOTUS has temporarily blocked a 5th Circuit ruling that would have reinstated stricter restrictions on the abortion pill mifepristone. Current FDA rules allowing telehealth prescriptions + mailing of the medication remain in effect while Louisiana's suit proceeds. Thomas/Alito dissent.

Bolts should do a big feature about NYT's theft and plagiarism. This should really be a huge scandal.

Social Distortion has a new album out, first one in 15 years, and it’s a banger www.melodicmag.com/album-ep-rev...

This dog Jam is my new role model

I’ve got about 3 years worth of kratom stockpiled just in case the pearl clutchers try to ban it. Without kratom I have to take 1600 mg of ibuprofen a day just to be able to surf and bike and have a life

Cameron Sexton is racist trailer trash

Great news from South Carolina of all places

Lots of false info suddenly being spread around kratom leaf. It’s safer than Tylenol and used by millions for non-addictive, non-narcotic, non-psychoactive pain relief. Don’t fall for the same kind of bullshit stories they told you about marijuana.

I can hear waves out on the back porch tonight

South swell building today, could be shoulder-high in central California by tomorrow

great post

Hungary is having a blast; the quality of life has improved across the nation since Orban was cast away into the dark forest away from human civilization.

Hantavirus Only A Risk To Those At Risk From Hantavirus, Says CDC

Birdwatching Hantavirus during WW3 is some Family Guy Manatee shit.

I’m not a dance person or a musicals person but I came across this old movie clip last night and fell hard for the incredible Suzanne Charny, choreographed in this scene by Bob Fosse, the only dance person whose name I know youtu.be/eoEz62F63bs?...

Many of you are asking how you can help my work. My only ask is this: Spread the word about the threats to democracy and how we can fight back. Tell everyone to subscribe to Democracy Docket for free and share its content with everyone you know. Thanks. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

There is probably such a thing as too much cheese on your nachos but I have not crossed that frontier yet

Here we go again #hantavirus english.elpais.com/internationa...

What Western Tennessee looks like in the new GOP map of the state: It splits Shelby County (Memphis) into three to eliminate the majority-Black district that's currently anchored there.

The California Governor Primary Debate is wild. Antonio Villaraigosa: You're an Oathkeeper. We all know that. Chad Bianco: I'm very proud of it. I don't think you know what an Oathkeeper is. Villaraigosa: I saw them on CNN attacking the Capitol.

As someone who’s done a lot of target hardening including embassies this $$ figure is insane

Hoping this cruise ship outbreak is just a one-off but it depends on the kind of hantavirus. ** Keep your eyes open for the term hantavirus alongside ANDV or Hanta Pulmonary Syndrome or Andes Virus. ** afludiary.blogspot.com/2026/05/brie...

Limiting access to healthcare that has been in use for decades & has been proven safe & effective is an attack on women.   SCOTUS must continue to uphold access to mifepristone & Congress must act to codify Roe & stop these attacks once & for all.

wtf does ovenable mean

Mainstream media is starting to cover the dismantling of the U.S. Forest Service. Thank you for speaking out and helping keep this story alive. #SaveUSFS

Happy May Day. They can’t kill us all.

It seems inconceivable that a young man in America could be executed based on songs he wrote, yet barring intervention from Texas Governor Greg Abbott. That is precisely what will happen on April 30 #JamesBroadnax

LFG

Spring cleaning today. Found about half a kilo of old weed as well as a reminder of how much I hated PE as a kid

EXCLUSIVE My big behind-the-scenes look into how Gov. Josh Shapiro has courted Amazon amid the mounting backlash to data centers Complete with internal emails, memos, an “exclusive” offer for help with faster permitting and a NDA no one would explain to me. My latest for @heatmap.news 😌
