A lot of people don’t realize the dust bowl wasn’t a natural phenomenon. It happened when agrobusiness interests dramatically transformed the plains without regard for drought, and created vicious dust storms that choked whole families to death. That’s what I think of when I read about data centers.

This shit with Taylor Farms is exactly what I’m talking about when I say you may say you “don’t do politics,“ but politics are more than happy to do you. The microbes political bribes got out the door and into your intestines don’t particularly care that you find it all beneath you.

i worked in several casinos and later for an online sportsbook. the best advice i can give you is to stay the hell away from all of it.

Is it not enough for Jude Bellingham to be one of the handsomest men alive

BREAKING: Multiple US service members have been wounded and 2 killed at Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan. Whatever happened to “no new wars”. Trump is getting our citizens killed. Enough is enough.

She was going crazy on this album open.spotify.com/track/7grbib...

Real AF

Unfortunately the crypts are only good for three days

To every New Yorker: this rule is not yet in effect. The earliest it could take effect is Sept. 18, 2026. New York City will use every tool at our disposal to fight this attack on immigrant families and the communities that make our city the greatest on earth.

this deeply moving piece by @ingridrojasc.bsky.social, “I See My Father in the Fathers Killed by ICE” 💔 I’m so glad she wrote this & furious she felt she had to time.com/article/2026...

what’s the Odyssey about? I’m so glad you asked

Who decided to call it IKEA and not Stock Home

Somebody’s going to need to explain to me, real slowly, why ICE is detaining nuns simply because of the color of their skin. What government purpose does it serve, because it sure as shit isn’t about public safety or even immigration enforcement.

I wish more journalists would point out that Sen. McConnell and Rep. Tom Kean (missed 4 months of work) are/were essentially on paid sick & medical leave. The same employment protection they’ve spent their careers blocking other Americans from having.

Im a Hindu, this is just the karma of your actions and choices in life. I never understood the "shhh, don't talk ill of the dead" nonsense. Also, people talk shit about you in life and after death, either way, so why pretend?

“Is there a Song of the Summer this year?” Yes. It’s Madonna.

Sleeveless in Ptown who’d have thought

Living through a perfectly executed Madonna era has been healing for so many gays

It is an actual sickness to place professional courtesy over the tangible harm Lindsey Graham did to his country and the people in it

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was murdered by ICE. His three sons called him “El mundo entero” — the whole world. They watched as their whole world died in a video posted on Facebook. Lorenzo was our neighbor and fellow Texan. He deserves justice.

This is why you can really just point at SCOTUS for most of the damage Trump has inflicted. Absolutely no one in these agencies (even the Trump friendly ones!) wants to do his bidding so he keeps firing them until someone will and STILL the SCOTUS treats these people as acting in good faith.

"how were people writing 10 page papers before AI???" we were smarter than you. you could've been smart, too. but you sold your brain for nothing

He hit them jokes as he walked. By the time he finished cooking you he was in the next room and you staring at the spot he used to be in

In rape culture, everything a woman says means yes and nothing she says means no. This seems to assert that though she said not to come over, said no repeatedly, struggled against Platner, an ambiguous prior comment constituted irrevocable consent. Not a shocking breach not to include it.

As a Black woman I think it is *very* important to remember that "the Left" has ALWAYS had sexism and racism issues. ALWAYS. They are not mutually exclusive, and the biggest folly is pretending they are because it prevents leftists from rooting these problems out even when they are Platner-obvious.

what a surprise. again, he reacted like this when the Nazi tattoo was revealed! he wasn't contrite, there was no actual acceptance or suggestion of change, it was pure entitlement and anger. All of this should have been obvious.

Couldn't fit this into the piece, but the belief that the left needs its own oaf means that Trump is still dictating the rules of engagement. Believing 1) white working class men are the voters that matter and 2) that they will only vote for themselves is just MAGA with a different coat of paint.

So I made this video last year about Platner and more broadly the road we were on if we let a candidate like him through. Two things stand out to me looking back at it. I was right and we are still on the same racist road. We might want to get off now

Platner was supposedly justified because of his appeal to a working class that is always discursively coded as a white male industrial worker. Yet (while acknowledging the demographics of Maine) the 2026 US working class looks more like a black woman in scrubs than this 20th century image

Boosting this again because shares would be a huge help right now. Explanation is upthread, but thyroiditis + a lumbar injury flare have me feeling about 100 years old, and I now need steroid treatment. 🫠 If you’re able to share, I’d really appreciate it.

Colombia fighting for a win on the world’s biggest stage while ICE rips through Colombian neighborhoods in Chicago all day. Same people, same flag, totally different realities. It’s hard to watch one without thinking about the other 🇨🇴

anyway

Sorry I wasn’t paying attention to you at lunch I was trying anxiously to mete out bites of protein in my salad

Let me fix this fucking headline: "A former Afghani man who served with the US military was kidnapped and murdered by ICE." He was not an "Afghan national" after our puppet state collapsed. The Taliban doesn't claim him as one of their own.

Meta Glasses are like, a Cybertruck for your face.

Their next statement: “whether he’s alive or dead, Senator McConnell looks forward to continuing his efforts to kill Americans”

Look if you think it’s fine for Trump to corruptly get a red card revoked (or “suspended”) bc FIFA is already corrupt, maybe you understand the MAGA mindset better than you think. “All politicians are corrupt so it’s ok for Trump to be corrupt” is a very common maga rationalization

A broadside assault on truth that must be taken seriously. This administration wants to replace independent scholarship and curation with propaganda and Prager U. drivel. The Kennedy Center was bad enough. This is worse.

"birthright citizenship is destroying this nation and everyone who benefited from it should be denaturalized and deported except this one guy, temporarily, for sports reasons" about sums up this administration

This has been the most spiritually bankrupt celebration of anything I've ever seen and that's it, that's our 250th. We don't get to go back and redo it, this one's in the books: Temu Arch, cheesy architecture, horrible displays, AI everywhere. Far right propaganda. Jokes at our expense

Someone needs to do a mashup of Madonna’s “School” and Björk’s “Hunter”

Good morning from DC—where you’ve got to look twice to see if the masked paramilitaries on the street are ICE or Patriot Front.

Happy July 4, the day we listen to "Solsbury Hill" by Peter Gabriel, the beloved song written in 7/4 time

Hubby & I ❤️

🤨 Im listening.
