Holy cow! This may be the weather photo of the year. Double rainbow, orange sky over Nationals Park Friday evening. Absolutely amazing capture by Alex Warofka.

trump is running up the national credit card and soon we're gonna be hearing about how dems have no choice but to "tighten our belts." so i thank @sereneblossom.gay for this exercise in working through *just how much* money we could raise by cutting out all the bullshit the rich use to dodge taxes

😱😱😱 And just like that, it’s completely VANISHED from the media. A sitting congressman, Ted Lieu, said on the record the Epstein files are being blocked because they show Trump raped and threatened to kill children. Lets make this viral again 👇

This li'l bug-eyed dude showed up today! Thanks, @poorlycatdraw.bsky.social !

Okay but please read the alt-text

Fortunately, everything we’ve learned from autonomous A.I. technologies from self-driving cars to delivery robots assures us that it is very, very unlikely that lethal autonomous A.I. drones could do something unexpected and unwanted. We are probably all perfectly safe.

Some really crazy cases in here - cop looked up ex-girlfriend and family in Flock 100+ times - cop stalked wife giving "test" as reason - cop searched one plate 395 times in 10 months; was later fired Cops keep getting arrested for using Flock to stalk people www.404media.co/cops-keep-ge...

I wrote Once Upon a Wave of Witches with @elibisme.bsky.social who provided most of the wildly imaginative details readers love. Beatrice is in a loving sapphic relationship with a sea witch. Amelia is as ace as ace comes. 2 ladies of a certain age who embark on a grand adventure—shenanigans ensue💜

✶ PRIDE MONTH ✶

NEW: On Friday the Trump admin announced a proposed work permit regulation that could make it dramatically more difficult for many immigrants in the US to work to support themselves and their families, including DACA recipients, asylum seekers, and the spouses of skilled workers.

if I see a bug inside while I'm in my virtual therapy session and can only think of the bug the rest of the time, that bug should pay for the session

This is a fascinating thread reminding folks that there are real artists behind the memes we take for granted

You need to read Mamdani’s “Mayor’s Order” repealing kids’ bedtime so they can watch the Knicks in the final. This is how to do politics with joy.

Welp there’s no unseeing this

Marisa is doing some of the most important journalism of our era.

Things that scare me a little

Known as “The Black Angels,” these Black nurses cared for tuberculosis patients at a time when many white nurses refused to treat them. They risked their lives to care for people society had abandoned. Their compassion helped save countless lives. History should remember them. #SheShed

This is an important about a letter signed by 300 of our immigrant neighbors detained in Delaney Hall. It was smuggled out by a family member and published by the coalition of folks supporting visitors and those detained. gothamist.com/news/letter-...

Texans spoke up and spoke out, and it mattered! I was glad to work with people from across out great state and our entire Texas Democratic Delegation to bring voices from Texas to D.C. to protect Big Bend National Park. We will—and must—remain vigilant in our resistance to this effort.

Spokesperson for oligarchy

Sadly the discrimination continues. Vote for @ginafortexas.bsky.social Gina Hinojosa for governor in November.

“Speaker of the TN House Cameron Sexton just removed me and every Democrat — and therefore every Black elected official in the state legislature from any committee we served on," Rep. Pearson said. Fascist reprisals for protesting.

“I have recovered Nazi-looted art from world war two before […] But discovering a painting from the famous Goudstikker collection, in the possession of the heirs of a notorious Dutch Waffen-SS general, truly tops everything.”

Ok, this week I found out that next school year I will be the school librarian at my kids’ Catholic school. And today I read these quotes from Pope Leo. I am going to post these all over my new library!

I know it's not good to post new art so late at night but I just want to share something (at least not previously shared in full) - so here's "Hidden Shore". I referenced a photo I captured off Lighthouse Point Trail just north of Deception Pass, Washington state. #watercolor #gouache #dragons

This is an excellent thread

BREAKING: Congressman Johnny Olszewski (D-MD) is introducing a constitutional amendment to establish term limits for Supreme Court Justices. The ROBE Act would establish 18-year term limits for justices.

little abstract from the watercolour-in-a-binder I'm testing out, watercolour plus neocolor ii crayons:

Pope Leo:

Editor Commentary: Ohio Republican lawmakers want to try again to rob voters of our fundamental power over the Ohio Constitution. In their phenomenal arrogance, they once again want to spit in the face of Ohio voters and try to convince us it's raining ohiocapitaljournal.com/2026/04/30/o...

Converts: "Jesuit astrophysicist"?! Oh, WOW! COOL, tell me more! Cradle Catholics: "Jesuit astrophysicist"? Which ones? The moon crater ones. The modern ones. You're going to have to narrow it down some.

The power of serendipity!

Today is the anniversary of the death of German theologian Dorothee Sölle. We would do well to remember and learn from heras we face what it means to live in a context where death dealing policies take hold and are carried out in our name. susanandstjoseph.com/2026/04/28/t...

Just FYI there’s an account on here called @redditspaceviewes.bsky.social (with over 200k followers) that is posting a bunch of AI slop (including a “Saturn polar hexagon” with 8 sides) and claiming it’s NASA imagery. If you see anything posted by them, it’s likely fake.

This weekend, pseudoscience pushers, including Trump’s HHS report author, will be teaching doctors from around the US anti-trans pseudoscience. Now, anti trans activists say as a result of our story, 2k emails have been sent to get them to cancel. They are pointing followers to an email address.

i had to triple check that this wasn't from a parody account

Happy earth day!!!! We are so, so lucky to live on this gorgeous planet!
