“A Chinese human rights lawyer has been arrested by ICE, raising concerns he could be deported to China where he would face persecution. Wu Shaoping fled China at the end of 2019 amid a crackdown on human rights lawyers.”

Arrested today in Miami, exciting news now linked in my mind to that incredible England France match tho apparently the vile Tates were running a bare knuckles fight event downtown. www.theguardian.com/news/2026/ju...

About Pete Hegseth’s talk about testosterone for service members … Rep Becca Balint (D-VT): “There are so many people in this Administration that have some weird, intense homoerotic feelings toward men, while also being homophobic”…

And we are officially in hazardous air quality territory

"3. Is local produce better than big distributors? The risk [of Cyclospora] is much lower. In fact, there has never been a documented cyclosporiasis outbreak linked to a local farm." This stuck with me. Yet another reason to eat from/support local farms/locally sourced foods.

NYC! It appears we will be in a bubble of no/little smoke today. But overnight, we won't be so lucky. This is the Smoke map as of 11 am. You can roll it forward to see the predictions. Thanks, Canadians, for this map! 🙏🏼 firesmoke.ca/forecasts/cu...

🔮 this means England will lose if they get to the World Cup Finals, which Trump plans to attend. (Sorry Bellingham, everything fun withers with this vile association.)

Hey, New Yorkers: Mayor Mamdani is recreating the city's digital service, after Mayor Adams destroyed it. They're hiring devs, designers, and product folks to work on-site in Brooklyn, starting now. You don't even have to be a city resident. Get on it!

The U.S. Election Assistance Commission is now without any commissioners after President Trump terminated two members and the agency’s remaining Republican commissioner resigned. 1/3

Took long enough to get to it, missed the apologies part but OKAY MAINE! Get you a candidate!

A federal judge ordered the release of $5 million in escrow that was awarded to E. Jean Carroll after a 2023 jury found Donald J. Trump liable for sexual abuse + defamation. Judge Lewis Kaplan cited the Supreme Court's recent rejection of Trump's bid to toss the civil verdict. She made him pay !!

p.s. the pale blue and pink confection of the Belgian kit looks great on teevee #WorldCup2026

That Belgium goal was definitely the Trump hex at play

Gov. Beshear should demand proof of life. If his state has lost a senator, its people deserve to know and deserve a replacement. The seat doesn‘t belong to the Republican Party.

ok, props to @apnews.com for this headline apnews.com/article/neil...

The famous sloop Clearwater, built by the late folk singer Pete Seeger and his friends, was removed from the Sail4th 250 Parade of Sail today. It was displaying banners that read, "Save the Clean Water Act" and "Indigenous Rights, Racial Justice, Climate Solutions.”

Mayor Zohran Mamdani and the City Council will provide the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs (DCLA) with $323.8 million, its highest-ever yearly appropriation as part of the city’s Fiscal Year 2027 budget.

A socialist won a seat in the NYS Assembly by 104 votes. It seems that, as the electorate appears to be in an enormous transition, each win make come via a very tight margin. (Don't quote my impression. Examine the data!) I'm taking this to mean, more than ever: EVERY VOTE COUNTS!

We are all depressed because people like you keep making this world worse. Quit your job. Enjoy your retirement and fuck off forever.

Not a great economy alert! Wall Street Bets users think Palantir spiked today because The Onion story titled “Palantir Acquires Pentagon for $800 Billion” hit their front page. They’re guessing trading bots indexed the top post on the subreddit reddit not understanding source.

“Our company stands on values of human dignity, opportunity, and freedom.” www.wnct.com/news/mt-oliv...

Independent agencies set standards that keep us safe across a wide range of areas. Imagine Trump’s friends want to market an unsafe product - for children, for elders, in construction. And the Consumer Products Safety Commn is run by Trump cronies who will approve whatever he wants.

Lol, a little post-Vatican II gossip, impending split by Latin Mass reactionaries reigniting fury among right-wing Catholics…

They’re probably lying, but 250ists are promising exponentially more than the usual XXL display. Which company is doing it I wonder… In 2015, Garden State Fireworks free link wapo.st/3QIQ0yI

This 250th, I’m reading the Outlander books version of the birth of America…

btw 🌈 Happy Pride

The crazy can always get crazier. (I love the Coop, and I voted YES for Taylor Pate.)

Twenty thousand Mexican truck drivers have lost their U.S. work visas. "That's not a statistic to file away. It's a structural shift in the cross-border labor market that is already moving [raising] freight rates ... and it will keep moving them." Word of the day: CABOTAGE.

Falsely accused of "unspeakable violent crimes" against their twin 4 year old kids. "The separation lasted for 24 hours and required their children to sit for interviews with Children’s Protective Services."

Woke up thinking how batshit insane it is to normalize the highest court declaring it acceptable to deport two entire groups of people simply because of national origin and a racist in chief. Might as well knock down the Statue of Liberty.

According to a June 2025 Dept of Finance report there are 78,000 rent stabilized tenants eligible for the SCRIE/DRIE RENT FREEZE program who aren’t enrolled. The income eligibility is $75,000, 62+, rent stabilized or Mitchell Lama & pay more than 1/3 of income in rent. THX @bobbiesackman.bsky.social

What a hellishly cruel and stupid mess SCOTUS has enabled. Most or the 1.3M legally resident people they’re letting Trump deport have lived here 15+ years. Average age 42. They’re parents to 273,000 U.S. citizen kids. 30% have mortgages. 1/3

The remarkable thing isn't the undercover #NYPD car caught speeding in school zones by cameras 406 times + running red lights 24 times since Aug 2023, for a total of $38,000 unpaid tickets. (That's 'We're NYPD + we do whatever we want' protocol.) It's that the car was ... a silver Subaru Impreza 😮
