I waited a while to write this one. The time finally felt right.

Saw this on FB. If you’ve ever enjoyed Aqua Teen, please help if you can. Someone who’s such an integral part of one of Adult Swim’s most beloved shows deserves much better than this.

Even when you've seen countless examples of it, it's still breathtaking how much criminal behavior our society accepts and indeed welcomes from the police.

A Black teenager was accused of stealing a backpack and ended up dying by suicide because he was kept in solitary confinement at Rikers for years. His name is Kalief Browder. He spent over 700 days in solitary confinement AWAITING TRIAL. I guess in racist America that’s worse than this.

A great opportunity to be Trump's arch nemesis. Comment by noon on June 3. savingplaces.org/monumental-a...

New, from me: He turned the part of Lincoln into the party of Trump, and has broadly succeeded in turning the US federal government into a personalist regime. Here are seven signs that personalism has come to define the second Trump administration. 🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/scenes-fro...

This is terrible. Among other things, Alex is the creator of an incredibly useful starter pack of "A.i."-free journalists and news outlets. Please consider tossing him a few bucks if you have the means.

I want to know the name of the judge who presided over this. I want that judge’s name and email address public. I want people to be able to ask that judge what the fuck was wrong with him or her. /1

Imposing real, criminal consequences for the Hegseth/Miller/Trump drug boat murders must be a top priority for the next administration. It would be a catastrophic moral failing to let them go unanswered.

Funny how after every SCOTUS ruling striking down some protection from government abuse, the officials those protections restrained — cops, prosecutors, Republican state electeds — immediately start acting in the precise manner SCOTUS assured us they no longer do.

In case you haven’t heard we are all boycotting REI until they respect the union. Please spread the word.

The New York Times deleted Trump’s “open the fuckin’ strait” line to make him look less insane Their write-up falsely says his post says only “Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!!” and “Praise be to Allah”

THE ARTEMIS II CREW IS NOW CLOSER TO THE MOON THAN THEY ARE TO EARTH!!

NASA just dropped this image of Artemis II astronaut Christina Koch looking back at us. The first woman to ever see our planet in its entirety. I’m not crying you’re crying 🥹🔭🧪 📸: NASA

100+ year old Pasteur Institute in Tehran was a premier infectious disease research institute and vaccine manufacturer It is a reason Iranian kids like me born in 60s had access to measles vaccines soon after they were developed in the west

Using Spotify is just as bad as using X, in some aspects, even more consequential: Spotify is actively killing music, not just exploiting musicians. All other streaming platforms are better, and have as wide a choice. Migrating your playlists is dead easy. Please leave that evil platform - now.

Per BBC VERIFY & NY TIMES — as a 🇺🇸 bomb struck a girls’ elementary school and killed 165… another 🇺🇸 missile struck a sports hall where children were playing volleyball, killing 21 people (including kids). www.bbc.com/news/article...

I'm too old to care about Harry Potter, but I care about trans folk, so I am begging you not to engage with anything that makes that horrible woman money.

Know your rights ahead of this weekend’s No Kings protests.

I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to

So, I dunno. Be nice to a trans person today. And don't forget trans men as part of all of this.

This seems really cool. rjionline.org/news/announc...

Because of the National driver register, since their licenses are suspended, trans folks cannot move to another state and get a new license until they remove the suspension on their existing Kansas license. They can't even escape this by moving to another state.

Remember when Trump yanked funds from Mississippi after learning that the state's welfare chief had directed millions in Temporary Assistance for Needy Families funds to sports celebrities, including not only Brett Favre, but the Million Dollar man and his two pro-wrestler sons? Wait. He didn't.

NEW: Amazon is telling people who use its wishlists feature to switch to post office boxes or non-residential delivery addresses if they want to ensure their home addresses remain private, as part of a change in how it processes gifts bought from third-party sellers.

Letz go even bigger and better,,, ALL Female US Olympians and Paralympian medalists are invited out to celebrate in Viva Las Vegas for the SHE GOT GAME Weekend ,,, Hit a guy up and LETZ GOOO

@bubbaprog.xyz is it theoretically possible for NBC to scrub/counter the drone-whine in the audio signals from the Olympic broadcasts without sacrificing desired sounds? It seems like nothing else is in that frequency range.

my eyes are rolling out of my fucking head

"What we all need to agree and commit it to is that journalism is a public good. Journalism is a thing that we need. Particularly when it comes to local news." For @inequality.org, @millsrodrigo.bsky.social interviewed two 51st co-founders, @abigailhiggins.bsky.social and @maddiepoore.bsky.social:

deny every single person working for DHS the sacrament if they are Catholic and excommunicate Vance.
