This flight is really playing Lady Gaga Bridgerton style

I was young when the gas crisis happened in the seventies but I still remember seeing the long lines. It was set up so cars could fill up on set days for just like 5 gallons. But I also lived in NY so we didn’t even have a car.

couple of things: I'm really digging the new Gorillaz album Bugonia? Was locked in until one moment in the movie that took me out and i don't mean the ending the winds in LA are so intense today

New @tananarivedue.bsky.social!!! I'm in!

Hello, book people! I am the book content editor for Reactor Mag and I'm looking for 2026 sci-fi, fantasy, horror, romantasy, and speculative books coming out in the second half of the year! If you have an adult or YA SFF/H book out July-Dec (or publicist), share the link/info here!

We need NYC-based authors/writers to use their skills to share the importance of public libraries in the 21st century. If this is you, write things and post them to all of your networks. Also sign a letter to the City Council: actionnetwork.org/letters/city...

Block the Paramount/Warner Bros deal, Dems in California. Play hardball.

In his acceptance speech for award for best screenplay, Ryan Coogler said “when you look at a blank page, think of who you love” and I dunno, that really moved me so I wrote it down and sat it on my desk to look at while I work

The U.S. military says it carried out strikes on three boats in the Caribbean and Pacific, killing at least 11 people and again providing no evidence of alleged drug smuggling. This brings the total number of strikes on boats in waters near Latin America to 42, resulting in at least 145 deaths.

From tear gas attacks to violent abductions, we are collectively witnessing the mass-scale abuse of children. Young people are fighting back.

Looks like Los Angeles high school students are scraping with Feds downtown today 👀👀 hundreds of students surrounded a group of fed pigs an forcefully made them retreat back into the detention center garage. Solidarity with the youth! 🖤

yep, they're still at it in LA and Portland too the media is gonna be like "time for a new narrative" and it's so important to keep talking about how none of the cities they invaded have become more safe since the spotlight shifted away from them

"Renee was not the first person killed, and she was not the last,” she continued. “You know my wife’s name, and you know Alex’s name, but there are many others in this city being harmed that you don’t know — their families are hurting just like mine, even if they don’t look like mine.”

What an amazing list of Boricua speculative reading. Thank you Ben for highlighting so many wonderful works, including mine ❤️

friends. if I wanted to see all the white grievance meltdown tweets, I’d be on X

I saw Ricky Martin in Vegas during his residency there and he had traditional bomba y plena dancers. He danced both with the male and female dancers. This is way before Bad Bunny's albums. The man has been about that queer, inclusive rican life

Some sort of estrogen patch shortage happening by me and I want to say, NOBODY WANTS ME OUT IN THESE STREETS WITHOUT MY ESTROGEN Calling pharmacies like Elaine in that Seinfeld “sponge worthy” episode

Creative Lab: The Case for Rage (in MG) with @lilliamr.bsky.social There is something about anger that is a moment of communication for someone who gets frustrated with trying to communicate or doesn't know how to communicate in that moment. #scbwiny26 #WriterSky #KidLit ##WritingCommunity

Thanks Tammy! That was a lot of fun!

So excited for next month!

Bad Bunny tearing up is all of us 🐰😭🐰

Will @utlanow.bsky.social be joining the general strike tomorrow?

DAILY MEMO: Border Patrol and ICE Raid Almost 20 L.A. Communities, Almost 30 Total in SoCal in Record Numbers @eltragon.bsky.social

The fact that Gavin Newsom is even talking to the likes of Shapiro is a sign that he’s a non-starter. I’ve never forgotten how Shapiro said that Trayvon Martin deserved to die. Not fucking ever.

every single successful general strike in US history has had union backing through the local AFL-CIO this is the first time it’s been called for since the 1940s

so much to cover right now, but a thread i just want to throw out there from my reporting is that the car rental market in minneapolis is reportedly totally screwed up right now because ICE has cleared the inventory. rental companies should have to answer for supplying vehicles used in terror.

“Home Depot and Lowe’s are using AI-powered license plate readers and feeding this data into law enforcement surveillance systems accessible to ICE. Their parking lots are also regular sites of ICE raids targeting day laborers.”

A Black man named Keith Porter was shot and killed by an ICE officer on New Year’s Eve. Marimar Martinez was shot five times by an ICE officer in Chicago who went on to brag about leaving seven holes in her body. This is not new but it is expanding.

"ABOLISH, INVESTIGATE, AND PROSECUTE ICE!" How many more people must be kidnapped, assaulted, tortured, and killed? After the murder of a U.S. citizen in Minneapolis, it's time to shout, "Abolish ICE!" @libradunn1.bsky.social agrees with us open.substack.com/pub/thelefth...

USPS quietly changed its postmark rules — mail is no longer dated when you drop it off. The “official” date is when it hits automated sorting — sometimes days later Which could have major implications for mail in voting — it’s a clever way to disenfranchise voters that’s going largely overlooked
