Data Centers are being built in secret. 🤐

AOC: I said this a couple of weeks ago: I would not be surprised if, when ICE funding started up again, we would start to see more civilian deaths at the hands of ICE. And that’s exactly what has happened. We didn’t see things like this happening with the same degree when we froze ICE funding.

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

Sam Neill was a terrific actor, but more importantly he was a great human being. He is loved, and will be missed. It’s not every actor who could play the Antichrist, a Russian submarine commander, and a dinosaur scientist. You will see Montana, sir. Godspeed.

Seems bad that baseball players feel more obligated to give updates on injuries and absences than members of Congress.

They say books won’t change the world. Tell that to every colonizer who burned them. To every enslaved person who was punished for reading. Literacy is resistance. Literacy is liberation. The library is a battlefield.

Earlier this year I committed to trying to be healthier after being the heaviest I've been and feeling it. I was doing pretty well, consistently hitting the gym 5x a week. I lost 10lbs but then I missed a day, then a few days, then over a month. Today we start again.

Tonight the Senate is voting to start debate on the annual defense bill. It's essentially an Iran War authorization bill. A totally unprecedented 50% increase in spending to fund the war without any meaningful restraints. I'm voting NO.

RIP SAM NEILL (1947-2026) Fine Actor, wonderful human being.

On this day in 1916, a Czech Jewish woman was born. On the 7 May 1942 she was deported to Theresienstadt with her mother and on the 9 May 1942 to Sobibór where they perished. Her name was Olga Löwyová Please support @sobibor.org

NO 👇 LIES DETECTED, HILLARY....

We have reached such a level of freedom in America that the government no longer knows which companies are selling food that makes people shit themselves to death.

I went to the Redwoods yesterday to lose my mind and find my soul.

Under no circumstances should the Senate confirm Todd Blanche as attorney general. Here's why... https://robertreich.substack.com/p/you-wanna-know-why-todd-blanche-should

Actor, Harrison Ford, turns 84 on July 13. Captured pedaling in Los Angeles wearing a fitted white athletic shirt, black cycling shorts, gloves and a white helmet, Ford proves that age is no excuse for not staying in shape. Biking is a regular activity for him. “I ride bikes,” to stay fit and trim.

We're borrowing water from our kids. The corporatists want to drain it for short-term profits instead of protecting it for future Texans. Let's make sure we leave our children rivers, lakes, and aquifers.

Amen. #BookSky

HARRISON FORD — 84 Candles 🎂 today — in his workshop in 1984. Ford developed his carpentry skills as a way to support himself after arriving in Hollywood in 1964, but it not only paid the rent, it helped him wait-out the acting competition & start picking up the parts.

Let’s do it. Fuck ‘em. - We can build a wall. - Remove all military bases. - Sever all rail, road and air traffic. - Forbid them from using the dollar. - No FEMA, Social Security or Welfare money. - Cancel all passport held by Texans. - Withdraw U.S. citizenship from all Texan insurrectionists .

In memoriam Sam Neill, 1947–2026. "My brother, Michael… is an academic and has devoted his life to scholarship; my life seems trivial by comparison. Bastard."

Trumps DOJ and Todd Blanche are refusing to release the remaining epstein files. He should not be confirmed for AG

BREAKING: More survivors of Jeffrey Epstein speak out in opposition to Todd Blanche’s attorney general nomination.

Says the guy who, after losing in a free & fair election, incited an insurrection against his own country: the very definition of treason. #ImpeachConvictRemoveImprison

May I propose a new law that elected officials can only miss a certain number of consecutive votes before they are removed from office

Damn, this one hurts. Thanks for giving us one of the most iconic movie protagonists ever with Alan Grant. You made me more hyper-fixated on Dinosaurs than I already was as a kid after seeing Jurassic Park. Rest Easy, Sam Neill. 🦖

If the wealthy are "job creators", why are they spending trillions of dollars trying to eliminate as many paying jobs as possible through Al and automation?

Tray comes out steaming. Bread, butter, something bright underneath — ordinary food, except nothing’s ordinary eating alone with sirens still going. A hot meal in wartime hands back a little control war took away. 🥘🇺🇦Support the Hope Begins With A Meal campaign: donate.hfu.org/campaign/hop...

Note from my notebook from 2016 which I find has only grown in pertinence in the intervening decade.

John Marshal & T Jefferson, even as cousins, never saw eye to eye on many legal issues. I wonder if they both could have been bought off to conspire to take down the 🇺🇸Constitution? Trump & Roberts have done more damage than we have ever seen, and will be feeling it for decades to come.

He NEVER went up his own ass, and for a global Hollywood superstar this is a rare thing. A visibly moved HARRISON FORD — 84 Candles 🎂 today — accepting his AFI Life Achievement Award in L.A this year.

It feels ridiculous to be told my entire life the importance of reducing my energy usage and switching to stuff like LED bulbs and then read reports of energy prices spiking in many US communities due to data centers.

Everyone deserves food to eat, a place to live, and healthcare to keep them living. Trillionaires should not exist in the same world as food insecurity, housing insecurity, or medical debt.

Because I refuse to buy my daughter a lunchable……..

"From July 1, 2026, households in New South Wales, South Australia, and southeastern Queensland can access at least three hours of free electricity each day through a new initiative called the Solar Sharer Offer" via No One Cares

I would like to go back to when buying fifty dollars worth of groceries didn’t make me sad. Food is just so expensive.

I'm going to KEEP talking about how Florida Senator Rick Scott, the RICHEST man in all of Congress DEFRAUDED Medicare & is trying to CUT Social Security. Will you join me?🤚

RIP Sam Neill, a truly amazing talent who inspired 7 year old me to want to be a paleontologist. A big loss.

Ahh crap. This is a sad one. Brilliant actor, good bloke. 7news.com.au/entertainmen...

July 12, 2026 Chelsea, NYC Pier 40's lease for ICE vehicle parking expired in June and was not supposed to be renewed, yet ICE vehicles are still there. We documented them in the garage. We demand an end to ICE parking in our sanctuary city and reject our neighborhood being used for ICE operations.

I let my daughter, 9, stay up a little late to finish reading her third Nancy Drew mystery, by the lamp at her bed. Is it 1955? 1985? What is happening? Not a phone in sight, literacy thriving; don’t let the world fall apart.

Remember this the next time they’re blamed.

RIP Sam Neill, 78. Credits include Jurassic Park, Event Horizon, Possession, Omen III: The Final Conflict, Rams (2029), In the Mouth of Madness, Peaky Blinders, Merlin, Bicentennial Man, Sirens, The Piano, The Hunt for Red October, Hunt for the Wilderpeople, Dead Calm, Attack Force Z, and many more.

Robert's Right ✅️, Again........

Said in a speech less than two weeks after the U.S. double-tap strike that killed 168 at an elementary school, mostly little girls under age 12. And Lindsey punctuated it with a snickering laugh. Not only will I not take the high road with him, I am suspicious of anyone who does.
