one of my best pals from choir has been having a devastating year & really needs some support. she’s caregiving full time for her mom, who has cancer (that they just found out spread.) and she got hit by a police car last year. i’m trying to raise $3,000 for her. www.paypal.com/pool/9r4IPqe...

Free advice: you can (and should) criticize the morals and influence of groups like AIPAC and the Israeli government without using gross antisemitic language and tropes like asserting brainwashing or thought control. Be a better person.

This is the first role I've hired for where I've made cover letters optional, too, because the last time I hired, easily 75% of cover letters were clearly written by AI. The entire exercise told me nothing and only served to penalize applicants who did the hard work of writing something targeted.

I touched on this at the end of my piece, but one thing I find shocking about May Pollard's death, speaking as a reporter, is that it took two months after knowing a major trans lawsuit had been dropped due to the suicide of one of the teen plaintiffs and knowing May Pollard's name.

I have not been able to get this quote from @joanhalifax.bsky.social out of my head. It provides the perfect frame for explaining this moment. One derangement out of the many shaping our existence.

Beautiful new memorial on Central Ave honoring Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero, Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, Alex Pretti, Renee Good, and all those murdered by ICE. At this very spot someone was taken the morning Tom Homan announced a “draw down” in Minnesota. To this day, ICE continues to operate here.

We're starving children and their families, all so billionaires can save a few bucks.

OK I decided to test-run this ultra-elaborate labor history simulation if I can recruit enough people. It's for sickos. 8/28-30, all virtual (some synchronous). Based on Durban mass strike of 1973, demanding of time within that window. Below are intro doc and intake questionnaire if you want to join

A judge just tossed the settlement between Trump and his IRS, saying the parties were not truly adverse to each other: www.reuters.com/world/us-jud...

It's clear that Democratic politicians (and Kim is "better" than many of his Senate colleagues) still have no idea what time it is. Statements like this one about Graham are unacceptable. Lindsey Graham was a terrible person who did terrible things--no one cares that you traveled with him.

there is infinite money for weapons, non-educator vice chancellors of nothingness, and tech-grift corporate welfare but zero money for teachers, libraries, tuition

That's my biggest gripe with the AI industry and why I hope all the AI companies implode. We need this bubble to pop so we can stop with the slop and get on with the useful portions of this tech.

KEY: all three witnesses are being detained apart, and their story is consistent. They say that there were agents along the side of the vehicle but none in front. When you add the videos showing a lack of evidence of damage to the front despite ICE's ramming claim, ICE's story is falling apart.

Where are all the newspaper editorial pages crusading for democracy? Or has the advent of fascism proven their worthlessness definitively?

I was back in Immigration Court this week, this time for the hearing of a sweet little three-year-old girl, I’ll call her Estrella. She’s been in federal custody, separated from her family for more than 10 months – even though her mom lives here in NYC. The cruelty is truly mind-boggling. 🧵

I also think it’s well beyond time to start considering these men are not, in any true or meaningful way, on the left

NEW: Democratic Socialist Melat Kiros leads Rep Diana DeGette by 2% in the first round of ballots from Denver (approx 2/3rds of the vote). These were the votes most likely to be favorable for DeGette. This could be over early for the 29 year incumbent. Astonishing.

Really appreciate this article from @truthout.org on the Father's Day protest that a number of local labor unions in the Labor Eyes on ICE alliance organized at Delaney Hall here in Newark.

New: We've been tracking reports of ICE activity across Chicagoland for five weeks. In that time, rapid responders have seen an escalation as feds have abducted dozens, caused at least two car crashes, threatened community members with weapons and flouted state courthouse protections. Read more:

they are using the burning of the 3rd precinct welcome to minneapolis photo????? i have that hanging in my house???

Let’s be sure to show up for Minneapolis today and every day like they have been showing the way & showing up for us across the country. We’re with you Twin Cities!❤️‍🔥

I look forward to the Feds going after everyone with a 3rd precinct on fire “Welcome to Minneapolis” t-shirt. All 20,000 of us

Charges are being filed against multiple people “for conspiracy to impede or injure federal officers,” and for efforts to allegedly “violently oppose immigration law enforcement,” according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for Minnesota. More details to come... www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

Brands already know this, which is why there's a growing industry of AI-engine optimization (AEO), which is designed specifically to manipulate LLMs and AI search. Over the last few weeks I have heard from a bunch of people in this industry. Already a big industry / common practice to do this

I read the paper copy of The Onion religiously (meaning I’d hit myself with sticks) when I was in college in Madison—the city where The Onion was first chopped. Now, as a middle-aged “Father” with a “Day,” I love/am confused by getting The Onion in the mail once a month. 10/10 would recommend.

yesterday, trump goons raided the offices of the ohio organizing collaborative, a group that’s been doing voter registration for over 20 years. they even showed up at people’s homes. we have to watch out for this shit. it is an outright attack on Black voters, and on all of our freedom to vote

My takeaway from this poll--much more so than the incongruity in some of the responses--is that 49% of Democrats view socialism favorably. That suggests that those of us who are socialists should keep organizing for socialism, being loud about socialism, etc. Socialism is good--many are saying this!
