I'm currently homeless, staying at hotels and motels. I'm looking for work but it's difficult without an address. I drive Door Dash but my disability makes it something I can't do every day. Please donate to my gofundme: www.gofundme.com/f/help-abby-... #minnesota #stpaul #mutualaid #homeless

aight I had more to say about this ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

This is a crucial perspective - I had a similar experience working w/ young people impacted by the justice system (and growing up with kids who were tracked for 'non-gifted' classes).

This is the best idea.

On one hand, Closer. I think my wife and I were the only people who liked that film who weren’t paid for it. On the other, Forrest Gump, which is a brilliantly constructed piece of evil propaganda.

It’s a shame WWE fumbled their departure arc.

And the US distributor! floatingchair.club/products/the...

Strongly recommended - it's another opportunity to appreciate McKelvie's great art on this series.

They’re now frenziedly working to disenfranchise as many Black people as they can as quickly as possible.

Love the choices in this thread!

By all that is holy, if and when SCOTUS decides that birthright citizenship is protected in the Constitution, don't let the 3-3-3 numpties tell you this is a moderate, centrist court. Rejecting an a-textual stupid Hail Mary doesn't cash out to a push when it comes to eviscerating the VRA today.

Justice Elena Kagan Isn't Mincing Words, About The Voting Rights Act........

NAACP President Derrick Johnson responds to the Supreme Court's decision to gut the Voting Rights Act:

The John Roberts Court has done more to reduce the political power of poor people and Black people while enlarging the voting rights of rich people and corporations than has any court since Roger Taney was Chief Justice in the 1800s. I opposed his nomination in 2005, and I stand by that.

BREAKING: Fidelity won't let customers donate to the SPLC anymore via their charitable gift/donor-advised funds, citing Trump admin indictment of SPLC. No response yet from Schwab, Vanguard... but soon. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/29/b...

Paywalls have done a lot to ruin the experience of the new internet.

Throwing alley-oops to your own flesh-and-blood son in the NBA playoffs is what you do when you've already 100%ed the game and now you're just looking for side quests

Never understood the hate for this guy. Fuckery = performance at an elite level, I guess.

I think everyone should be a mentor to someone about something. It’s good for you and us.

I think that the answer to this for the Absolute line is yes, they can - because the Absolute line is not the main DCU (which needs to be aligned with the marketing/licensing priorities of the company).

It'd be great to read a thoughtful assessment of bureaucracies and employment practices in academia that was informed by an understanding of labor studies (and industrial relations).

An extremely important point - we need to focus less on the Ivies and more on the schools that actually educate most young people (and many of those schools and young people are excellent!).

A reminder to anyone interested in cool collectibles - I'm selling three mint in box action figures (including the amazing HasLab Galactus) on EBay - come check it out! www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?i...

A terrifying story.

Devastated to hear the entire Marvel Studios’s Visual Development team has been let go. This was my old home but more importantly, the home of so many incredible artists and peers. Absolutely heartbreaking 😔 Sending all my impacted peers my love and support. Please reach out if you need anything!

Ah, DK is offline for a big site makeover today, so the Tinyview version is currently the only option! tinyview.com/this-modern-...

Trump has cut legal immigration more than illegal immigration, as I predicted. While illegal entries have fallen, they continued a prior trend, falling more before he came back. Meanwhile, Trump has drastically cut legal entries, reversing the prior upward trend. www.cato.org/blog/trump-h...

This reminds me of a terrific fireside chat with Dr Marcella Nunez Smith at Yale’s school of management a few weeks ago. One thing that really stuck with me was the emphasis on community partnerships + recognition of the brilliance that exists outside the walls of the academy.

May his victims find peace and healing through their lives ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🔥

Looking forward to reading/digesting this. Very troubling findings (especially as a parent).

This doesn't feel like a victory...

Also I swear to God if he doesn't use nukes but carpet bombs the civilian infrastructure of the entire country you don't get to fucking say he showed restraint or its normal or what the fuck ever, war crimes are about the crimes not the means.

I guess? I don't know...

This is such a crucial point. There is a path, but one has to actually be committed to taking it.

I'd suggest that all workers have value and that we are stronger when we act in solidarity. yaledailynews.com/articles/ins...

The Supreme Court did not strike down conversion therapy bans today. Not nationwide. Not in Colorado. Not anywhere. Here's what actually happened in Chiles v. Salazar—and why the coverage you're seeing serves the conservative legal movement more than it serves you.

Excellent Bouie piece on the birthright case. Especially how it points out that every academic backing Trump has either explicitly rejected Trump’s take in the past or somehow written extensively on the 14A without raising it (and implicitly rejecting it)… and have no new evidence now. Gift link:

by far the worst tendency on this platform is its tendency to interpret a description of something that happened or is happening as an endorsement of that thing I have been reading Mark on conversion therapy cases for years and he has always been very clear about how awful it is

I don't know what SCOTUS will do on birthright citizenship case, it's anybody's guess. But if they endorse Trump's diktat, the only response is defiance. Outright, open defiance by the states. A decision not just erroneous but illegitimate, beyond their power, null and void from the day it's issued.

I take some small comfort in knowing that this decrepit apparatchik is a year younger than me.

If a secdef violating the 14th amendment rights of US servicemembers by denying promotions based on race isn’t impeachable then I don’t see what is. The man would rather the military be racist than effective.

The NY Times headline writers are highly skilled in the art of understatement. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/27/u...

Funny thing about American mass media is how woke content is broadly popular, routinely pays for itself, and sometimes goes blockbuster, whereas right-wing content is a narrow niche that rarely reaches breakeven, never goes blockbuster, and usually requires immense subsidies for it to exist at all.

The last part is hilarious! On a separate note, I think we should have some reservations about leasing our libraries (re book collection) from Amazon.

Minor quibble - children are often lovely (and far more considerate of others than one might imagine).

This is a great list of techniques for getting real information out of a Google search and avoiding AI slop and paid results. (One thing not included is that if you add "-ai" to a search, you block the AI summary) cardcatalogforlife.substack.com/p/google-has...

I wrote a lot about Bob Mueller across a lot of chapters of his career. I wanted to share two @wired.com pieces that I wrote about his defining life experiences—both a picture of an era of public service all but lost today: 1) His brave *voluntary* service in Vietnam: www.wired.com/story/robert...

Earlier this week, I had the honor of breaking fast at Rikers Island with New Yorkers in custody. It was a night that will stay with me for quite some time.   In a system too often defined by what it takes, I was reminded of what it means to give—mercy, dignity, and humanity. Eid Mubarak, New York.
