Here’s a thought — Maybe these people don’t deserve to be handsomely rewarded? (From NPR)

Why women don’t go to the doctor reason 2826: Saw a new doc, went over my med history. Mentioned I have pancreatic divisum. I asked for a referral to a GI doc. New doc wrote & let me know I should see old doc for my newly acquired divisum. I’ve known since ‘95 I’ve had it. They just don’t listen.

Amanda Newman created this piece of street art to cover up homophobic graffiti.

Mississippi called a special session TODAY to erase the only Black congressman in this state. Mississippi residents showed up. All of them. On their doorstep. In their streets. To show them what they're fighting against. ✊🏼 #mississippi #democracy

This is called "trilling" and it's the sweetest sound in the world. 😻 TT: harryandlippy

My friend just adopted this little kitten and I am obsessed with her. Her name is Miss Pauline.

As if people don't remember what football and its (mostly) white fans did to Black athletes just taking a knee during NFL games?! What is the plan to support these athletes if they make this move?

Nannie Helen Burroughs, educator, entrepreneur, advocate of women’s rights, daughter of formerly enslaved parents, founded a school in Washington DC in 1901. She observed, “Education & justice are democracy’s only life insurance.”

Colonies were collected to stash in a museum. "Researchers collected four colonies of one to four individuals each as specimens, which were later deposited in the Invertebrate Collection of the Hokkaido University Museum in Sapporo." Aren't there better ways to study specimens than killing them?

It really irks me that my library on the south side of Chicago almost never has the books of many Black female authors I see on here. Unfortunately, books are financially a luxury for me but it feels like punishing poor people by robbing us of the opportunity to read books by ppl who look like us.

Oh God. YouTube is sure I want to see 15 different videos of real scientists nitpicking Project Hail Mary. I wish I could tell it "No. I'm not that guy. It's... a movie. It's not Science Class. If it wasn't so stupid as to bother me in real time in the theater, I'm good."

China has become the first country in the world to ban retractable door handles in cars. From January 1, 2027, all new models must have mechanical door opening. The decision is related to a series of fatal accidents, when passengers were trapped due to electronic malfunctions. 1/2

When we took office, NYC had a $12B deficit. Today it’s zero. And we didn’t close that gap on the backs of working people. We closed it while funding parks, libraries, safer streets, & public housing. Call it Pothole Politics or Democratic Socialism: We are government that delivers for the people.

Getting ahead of the curve: Giuliani wasn’t just an ugly joke & a buffoon. There will be jokes, but let’s remember the depth of his desecration of life: He played a key role, from his mayoralty on, in accelerating fascism. He hurt so many. He betrayed all.

What a great concept

"I saw girls who have forgotten how to play, girls who jump at the sound of a door slamming because it sounds like a gunshot. So, this is the price that those children pay day to day while the world is moving ahead." Listen via @theworld.org: theworld.org/stories/2026...

I think it is hilarious that a con man, Oz Pearlman, who pretends he can predict the future, booked himself as the headline act at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, where he might be shot. What a fraud.

Meanwhile, there was another US "boat strike" snuff flick today. AKA murder. Little-mentioned in mainstream media or here for that matter. Talk about "normalizing political violence."

a) We fucking called this before Roe fell ffs LISTEN TO US b) if they win this will set our whole society back to the 1950s or earlier. Workplace equality? Sexual freedom? What??? THIS MUST BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY AS AN ALL HANDS ON DECK ISSUE c) (see next skeet)

I'll be talking on @democracynow.org in a half hour or so about how fascism is using "Cole Allen"--not the actual man, but a story--to deify Trump. I write about it here: slowcivilwar.substack.com/p/cole-allen

Nemophila bloom season has begun in Japan. Every spring, the fields of Hitachinaki Park are transformed into a blanket of blue, where over 5 million delicate blue flowers bloom, creating a "sky beneath your feet" effect.😍 Good image for Bluesky .

we just got our first electric bill since installing solar panels. We’re on the hook this month for -$8.22

Virginia AG Jay Jones discusses the upcoming hearing on certifying Virginia’s referendum results Jones: My responsibility is to represent the people of Virginia, and whoever got the most votes wins. The votes have been tallied, the votes have been counted, and so now we’ll go to court to enforce it

"Books are crap now." Yes, of course they are. Books have always been "crap now". What that means is that around 1-5% of books published are worth reading. Fortunately, books have been being published for a long time. 1-5% of all books is still a lot of books.

A room full of the most powerful people in politics and media presumed they were being attacked by an active shooter. They dove under tables and texted loved ones. They feared for their lives. And somehow, not a damn thing will be done by them to push for gun reform tomorrow morning. America.

Trump you’re the DISGRACE WORLDWIDE!!! The judge from the E. Jean Carroll rape case against you , which SHE WON, and you owe CARROLL about $85M. The judge said you were definitely a RAPIST‼️‼️‼️‼️

What a disgusting disgrace for a President. 🖕🍊🌮💩 ✊🔥✊

truthout.org/articles/ice... When FBI, ICE, and Homeland Security flew to Israel for training in surveillance, racial profiling, crowd control, detention, and deportation, they were taught to embed video crews to capture footage for broadcast + social media. That's how modern terrorism works.

Wait. Who’s filming? And why were they allowed to just stand there?
