seeing reports of rubber bullets and tear gas with an absolute deluge of police forces at Delaney. for tue second night in a row, people are facing cops on charging horses. the governor said sending in state police was “deescalating” the situation.

We should be two “D&D Honor Among Thieves” sequels deep.

Just a reminder that immigrants inside Delaney Hall are on their ninth day of a hunger and labor strike in protest of inhumane conditions and this was Governor Sherrill’s response last night:

There's a strong incentive for us as human beings "not to believe" anything that calls on us to do anything different than what we are used to doing.

BREAKING: Zack Attack has backed out of Freedom 250.

In 1854, a small force of US Marshals entered the city of Boston to capture Anthony Burns, a runaway slave, and return him to Virginia in chains under the Fugitive Slave Act. When a large crowd gathered to prevent this, it was Boston police who protected the Marshals and brutalized the crowd.

The first time I searched Latina on a social media site, it was all pornographic pictures. Our oversexualization has always been a part of how we are treated. This is just really disappointing to see.

Absolutely shocking how easy this is.

I also think the “anti trans girls in sport” and “trans girl suck at sport so include them” also comes from the expansion of sport as a venue for wealth at young ages And WHICH girls are allowed to be wealthy or even enjoy social joy and safety And I don’t like it

Fired 60 Minutes-er Cecilia Vega put out this statement: "In recent months, my producing teams and I have experienced efforts to insert political bias into our stories. Reporting teams have held back on submitting story pitches about important news topics out of fear of the internal repercussions."

i feel like this is probably the best time in recent american history to be a criminal because the justice department doesn’t give a shit, it’s too busy going through the president’s burn book www.cnn.com/2026/05/27/p...

"I'm merely stating my opinion, which differs from yours" okay but do you see how you and I don't know each other and you are affirmatively clicking the "reply" button to a post that is not directly addressed to you personally

One of the most impactful things that people can do in this moment is to feed people. To find multiple ways to do this in communities.

It is Delaney today, it was Dilley yesterday, it was Broadview before that. They are all travesties. They are all encouraging human rights violations. All of them.

Young people are always told what not to do. But what should you do? Did you know that most public libraries have a Nintendo Switch to use? That parks show free movies at night? That there's a map of pickup basketball games?

Cassidy, Cornyn, Paul, Tillis, Collins, Murkowski, and McConnell are all committed to allowing this in the name of their ideology.

@blackgirlinmaine.bsky.social have been thinking of you and the way you’ve been treated on here as of late. Just wanted to say thank you for the incredible generosity of your writing and for meeting all of the complexities as an organizer with their eye on long term liberation. ❤️

Been thinking a lot about this.

There are select moments when you realize you got yourself a real one, and how your partner handles you having a sudden crippling muscle spasm is one of them.

I am following this for both personal and professional reasons. It is the rubicon for me.

The tradeoffs being made in this moment are so painful. The impact of them is painful but also being faced with them in the first place is painful. I just really hope for grace for all folks trying to grapple with them rather than high horse judgement as observers not impacted by them.

My final piece on Graham Platner and the US Senate race. At almost 5000 words, it's long but based on several meetings with Platner and others. I'm not arguing with people online, so there are no comments. Life is too short to be stressed. open.substack.com/pub/shaystew...

From @blackgirlinmaine.bsky.social, in a piece where she shares the words of other Black and POC Mainers who said things like: “White people love to tell Black people how they should respond and react to racism without checking themselves.”

Neither AI or humans can reliably detect AI text, according to all the leading research, and the “analysis” is by a LessWronger who self-reported it to the journalist (according to the journalist). This exists to sow discord against the anti-AI movement, and nothing else.

so like lemme weigh in on this as someone who is more financially comfortable than many in my generational cohort: everything I have gained seems precarious and temporary because I know the people with real money will take it all from me the second they get an opportunity and no one will protect me.

Exactly this. Every statement from almost every institution is kneecapped waaay before it begins by the unspoken but unilaterally understood requirement to first accept/protect the interests of the investor class. Without capitulation, you cannot be taken seriously. But the Pope can just go for it.

Watching www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news... But he and other folks are strongly encouraging folks to form more tenant unions to put pressure on both sides on landlords

I know your white resist favorites make lively media for you but you can’t be shouting about Media Literacy and commitment to archives and attack on universities When the FIRST BOOK THEY ATTACKED TO ATTACK MEXICAN STUDIES IN 2006 Was about TEACHING and the basis of challenging propaganda

Having a Catholic representative of the issue you are pronouncing about is run of the mill Catholic practice , and rather than a capitulation to AI , can also be seen as a call to GOOD CATHOLIC WORKS but that would be giving Pope Leo agency and historical grounding

“You wanted to work here. Show your face!” ❤️💯

If I were a Senator who was tear-gassed by ICE, I would spend every hour of the rest of my time in office figuring out new ways to abolish ICE.

I'm engaged in a research project. I'm about 18 months in and I just read yesterday that at its peak the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense sold/distributed 140,000 copies of its newspaper a week...

ICE is a lawless, racist, fascist agency that must be defunded and abolished for US democracy to continue.

Democrats are often accused of just following where the voter winds blow but many of them seem to be stalwart against this particular gale

At the March library budget hearing, the heads of the NYC Library Systems shared the vacancy numbers. QPL = 85 NYPL = 105 BPL = 100 This is what we mean in part when we talk about the libraries being underfunded. Current staff also need raises. Join us tomorrow to rally for more funding...

I’d argue governors being denied access to federal law enforcement facilities in their state is part of what I call slow civil war.

They’re all in lockstep agreement on supporting the police, this is why it’s very annoying when people act as if no one is making the case for law enforcement, it’s profoundly dishonest imo

I really like the part about "no! it isn't fatigue! fatigue is a warning sign!" (re: why CFS is a minimizing misnomer) i downloaded a copy to send around. i did have to scroll to hide the top half while reading the captions, the color effects were a bit much for me 😅

For those parents of late teens, early 20’s kids, ever have a moment where you get a glimpse at what your adult relationship with your kid might be and just melt at how great they are?

It’s bizarre that the press hasn’t noted this more. Turning the Butler attempt into a big show at the convention was practically inviting more people to give it a go.

The core problem with "surveillance pricing" isn't the pricing, it's the *surveillance*, and the way to fix this is to ban most forms of data collection. There's simply no good reason to allow companies to build highly detailed dossiers full of our personal information.

Old Twitter when it was at its best, gave access to three levers of power. Audience, access to decision makers, and community were all accessible there. And that is EXACTLY why an oligarch destroyed it and why the rest of the oligarchs cheered when he did.

Amen.

Fighting and theorizing about epistemic bubbles when the entire material basis for epistemologies has been captured and deliberately fractured is just grief. Annoying but grief nonetheless.

Let this haunt you. The month after Gamergate started, Reddit raised a round of funding. This is who backed it. Series B, September 30th, 2014. Sam Altman. Peter Thiel. Marc Andreessen. Joshua Kushner.

One of the things I’ve been thinking about is how similar the language the plutocrats use is to the language used by monarchy. “Our bloodline chosen by God to rule the people” is not different from “My brain has gifts that make me chosen to rule the world”.

When Rep. Ro Khanna began pushing to release the Jeffrey Epstein files, his own party thought he was wasting everyone's time.

Less blaming people just trying to make ends meet, more blaming the billionaires and CEOs paying us all so little we can barely get by.
