BURGUM: When the sun goes down, solar produces zero electricity HUFFMAN: I want to enter into the record this amazing new technology that apparently the secretary is unaware of -- it's a battery

So you're telling me that cutting tariffs leads to lower prices? Fascinating.

Good job everyone for holding him accountable!

I love Tracy Chapman and now you got me excited that I haven't heard of Joan Armatrading because it means I have a whole new artist to explore. Thank you!!

1. ICE has not paid for detainee medical care for 7 MONTHS The termination of payments to providers has coincided with a MASSIVE SPIKE in detainee deaths. This is a health crisis and a moral crisis. Follow along for details. 🧵

you also can’t buy a ticket without a credit card. Like I was already on the kids’ side about a lot of this, but seriously go try to do any of the things you would expect them to spend evenings and weekends doing with friends and see how much it costs and how inaccessible it is if you’re a minor

like I am pretty well paid and I look at those prices and nope right out, and this city is wondering why we have so many problems with teenagers and young adults just hanging out on the street

I’m sure there’s a discount theater if I haul it out to Maryland or something or take a wholeass Tuesday afternoon off work or something but this used to be something average people could afford to do. But I’m telling you a small popcorn was ELEVEN DOLLARS.

They wanted a booking fee for buying my ticket online, the only way to buy the ticket

Apparently the only way to make this affordable is to get a subscription of some sort but I see like two movies a year

I tried going to a movie but it would have cost me fifty American dollars to see the devil wears Prada 2 and get a snack and I just couldn’t do that

CNN put together a montage of Chris Wright saying last month that "there's a very good chance" gas prices will be back below $3 a gallon by the summer, followed by a clip of him saying yesterday that "by the summer is an aggressive timeframe now"

I have seen a lot of kids interact with drag queens, between ren faires and storytimes, and do you know what the most common question is? “Why is your hair so big?” Kids aren’t bigots. They’re curious. That curiosity is what right wing agendas want to destroy.

BREAKING: Hundreds of anti-genocide protestors have descended on the NYC offices of @schumer.senate.gov & @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social in protest against their voting for Trump’s war on Iran and support for Israel’s attacks on Lebanon and Gaza.

this is why there’s been mass revolt and opposition to data centers being built in communities. it is genuinely a health hazard to live this close to something emitting this much sound. these need to stop being built

the images from Budapest are reminding me a little of when something good did happen here not all that long ago

Here's preview of the end of the current US administration

"...there is no real 'labor shortage,' only a shortage of people willing to work at the wages currently being offered. You might as well talk about a 'Lexus shortage' — which there is, in a sense, for anyone unwilling to pay $40,000+ for a car." — Barbara Ehrenreich

wow, looks like a rough patch for stocks AND bondis

I heard someone say that we should be registering voters at gas stations.

Good things CAN happen with campaigns, with the internet, and with people throughout this country — if there's a little bit of community and leadership. It's why I'm so excited for Kat's new initiative, KAPOW, which is mutual aid at the speed we're going to need it in this increasingly rough world.

This was, basically, what the internet CAN be used for: Help people who need it faster than they could without it. Within few minutes of needing help to feed a baby with specific needs, Kat's volunteers were able to mobilize. They turned a Discord into an instant, hyperlocal mutual aid resource.

Kat's campaign had a Discord with thousands of volunteers. Her campaign put out an APB asking if anyone could send this baby formula to this one woman in need. Within minutes, people were driving to the store to buy this specific formula. Another found it on Doordash and sent it instantly.

Just want to tell a story about the day I was proudest of Kat's campaign, and why I'm so excited she's quadrupling down on it. One day when she was running, a potential constituent reached out to her. She needed baby formula with a specific protein in it ASAP, but she could no longer afford it.

Julie Menin does not care about New Yorkers. Why are we still debating if it's okay to tax the rich? That should be the normal and expected position in 2026. People are losing housing and healthcare while corporations and billionaires have more than they could spend in a lifetime. PAY UR FAIR SHARE

This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1,200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.

📚 “I stand by my decision. I will not change my mind.” RUTHERFORD COUNTY library director LUANNE JAMES 🦸‍♀️ was just fired for refusing to move kids books into the adult section simply because the board doesn’t like what they’re about. Full: www.wkrn.com/news/local-n...

Palantir's contract with NYC's public hospitals will not be renewed: though the latter's CEO defends the use of Palantir software, termination is a vital step to prevent potential data-sharing with ICE and protect immigrant New Yorkers seeking healthcare.

The horrors persist, but so do mushrooms

Fuck yeah love a Zohran/Liberty partnership! Thanks for repairing our faith in mayoral leadership. Now fix the budget 🙃

seeing a lot of moral abandonment and dereliction of duty by people who just wanna stay employed and wondering how much this would be happening if healthcare and insurance could be decoupled from employment

I laughed out loud, actually.
