it’s not great to play favs but one of our all time fav doggies just arrived for a 10 day stay with us!!!!

Libra: Your mind will be on the world of finance today when you clean under your car seat and discover a bunch of quarters.

🚨 “YOU’RE UNDER ARREST!” Federal agents arrest a 6-tour vet outside Delaney Hall on Day 15 of the hunger/labor strike. “BACK UP!” agents yell as chaos erupts. Moments later, someone in the crowd shouts, “YOU GONNA KILL ME?” as agents move in and take another person away. WATCH @JonFarinaPhoto ⬇️

It's been a brutal two weeks in Chicagoland with ICE pointing guns and tasers, multiple car crashes, violent arrests and a significant uptick in detainments overall. Feds continue to stalk courthouses across multiple counties. Today, agents were also seen at the rideshare lots at O'Hare.

in california the unauthorized practice of law is a misdemeanor

dude its just one little nazi. and hes almost sorry

Albania is erupting for the second consecutive day in angry mass protests against the Kushner land seizure deal worth $4 billion.

As @econliberties.bsky.social says: "The removal of the private right of action prevents New Yorkers from being able to directly sue if a corporation ignores the law and uses their data for surveillance pricing." www.economicliberties.us/press-releas...

The New York Legislature has passed landmark legislation to stop surveillance pricing and ban corporations from using personal data to set individualized prices. The bill now heads to the desk of Governor Kathy Hochul.

I need a flowchart of which brown people it’s okay to kill if I promise free healthcare.

We’re in a very weird moment. Strait of Hormuz has been effectively closed for three months, the world is running out of reserves, crops aren’t being planted, there’s no end in sight and everyone’s kinda acting like everything’s fine, or will work out soon.

The governor started a Substack. Colorado's governor started a blog on the nazi-friendly host. jaredpolis.substack.com

This is unreal. The New School Student Senate voted to cut ties with their campus Hillel group because it literally sponsored students to materially participate in the BOMBING OF GAZA... and so The New School admin is investigating the student senators. prismreports.org/2026/06/04/n...

i'm beginning to wonder if all of the times people have said something about almost making a dangerously self-aware AI has been legend building for sales rather than any serious concern

If the Democratic Party as an institution had any integrity, they’d have made this man drop out so long ago. It should be political suicide for him to continue as he is. I don’t even know what to realistically hope for anymore when it comes to Maine. So frustratingly preventable.

Reminds me of Gen. Pinochet: He let Chile return to democracy only if he was granted immunity for all of his crimes.

GoFundMe advertising on podcasts is a recession indicator, or at least a things-are-bleak indicator

Last year, Trump and DOGE gutted funding for thousands of USAID programs, including monitoring and containing New World screwworm in Central America. Now, the parasite has moved north and infected American livestock. "Efficiency."

“... WIC — would lose $141 million in funding for fruit and vegetable benefits for the nearly 5.4 million children and pregnant and postpartum women enrolled, according to an estimate from the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities.” www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Jesus Christ. Apparently in the new Scary Movie, the Black non-binary character is stabbed to death on a train after saying “my pronouns are they/them” and a crowd stab them saying “fuck your pronouns!” Legit a hate crime against the most vulnerable minority in real life for fucking “comedy”.

oh, look. the Senate Republicans are standing up to Trump 🙄

Wildfires are making the US smoggy again, reversing progress on cleaner air, study finds apnews.com/article/smog...

We are not angry enough--a whistleblower provided evidence a DOGE brat stole social sec data & sold it to a Palantir contractor. Our data is used to sell services back to the govt at taxpayer expense for big profits. That is OUR data. Instead of investigating the whisteblower is threatened 😠

cant sleeeeeep

The public needs to fully understand the repercussions of giving RFK Jr. access to identifiable medical records from 90% of the U.S. population. He is a eugenicist who wants to “reparent” Black childen, send people with mental illness to “wellness camps”, and to take away anti-depressants.

SSRN has responded to Bainbridge:

The library systems' boards of trustees in NYC need to change. The majority of people on these appointed bodies need to be actual patrons and former library workers.

there are cathedrals everywhere for those with the eyes to see

WOW. The New Jersey AG has charged an Essex County Prosecutor’s Office sergeant for allegedly stealing a photojournalist’s camera equipment while the journo was at a hospital being treated for injuries she suffered outside Delaney Hall. The bag had an air tag and was tracked to the cop's house.

fuckin' nuts how often we are screamed at as American traitors for something simple like this

Wait, the Nazi Tattoo guy was *also* shitty to women? No. Couldn’t possibly be. Who could have guessed at such a thing??

Also, just to sidebar this bit: this represents a very long-running tendency in American politics. I'm old enough to remember when the GOP was saying "we need to find the next Reagan." They never did; instead, they found the first Trump.

with "allies" like these

I am obsessed with this finalist in this year's Michigan “I voted” sticker design contest

This is so good and so important.

Oh boy. 9th Cir. sanctions two attorneys for briefs containing multiple nonexistent cases, misattributed quotations, and gross misrepresentations of real cases as a result of undisclosed AI usage who then doubled down and lied when caught. Sanctions in next. cdn.ca9.uscourts.gov/datastore/op...

There is something brutally psychically injurious to being constantly told "just do good work and you'll be successful" while watching people who do the most dogshit work possible do all the succeeding.

This is under current intellectual property laws… like… Cartoon Network is ~right now~ soaking up ad revenue by releasing full episodes on YouTube. This shouldn’t happen! Any creative that argues stronger IP laws “to protect the artist” are simply unpaid corporate lobbyists. o.0

🚨 The FBI says Kash Patel was in Milan during the Winter Olympics for work. I filed a FOIA for @publiccitizen.bsky.social asking for proof. The FBI said that’ll take 2,000 days. Today PC sued the FBI to speed it up.

President Trump has made more than 3,400 stock trades worth more than a quarter of a billion dollars in the first three months of 2026 alone. trib.al/XlVpia6

Read this (preferably right now). Mike does a great job discussing the alignment between decentralization of online platforms and democratization, not just of those platforms, but of society more broadly.

hydration rocks actually. have yall tried this shit?

🚨🚨 Huge breaking news from Brussels: Hungary has lifted its two-year-long veto on Ukraine's EU accession. Ukraine and Moldova will soon be able to open the first cluster of the accession process. The saga is over.

Handing it to People magazine for being one of the few national publications to express some outrage over the intentional shooting death of a Black teen. people.com/jury-acquits...

This study found that HALF of the population of Phoenix would require medical attention at a hospital if a blackout occurred during a historic heat wave. Needless to say, they won't all fit. Link is pdf: pubs.acs.org/doi/pdf/10.1...

It's insane that in light of this neoconfederate project to undo the Voting Rights Act there seems to be very little appetite among Democrats to take this up often and loudly. Your opponents are blatantly rolling it back to the Jim Crow South and you can't figure out how to win on this issue?
