a loving snapshot of humanity. its beauty, its difficulty— “It sweeps off the great lake in waves that erase the world”

Xi not showing up to greet Trump in Beijing and instead sending flunkies is a MASSIVE sign of disrespect - consider how Trump feted Putin in Alaska! There once was a time the President of the United States commanded respect around the globe. Not now. Not anymore.

Tennessee Rep. Justin Pearson just destroyed Trump.

NEW: Tennessee voters came out to oppose the GOP’s new rigged maps 🔥

The mood on the ground in Tennessee today.

The Virginia Supreme Court’s decision to overturn a voter-approved redistricting referendum is an outrageous assault on the will of the people and another dangerous escalation in the nationwide campaign to take power away from the people.

“Over the past two years the State of Israel has been conducting a campaign of genocide in Gaza that is disproportionate to the ‘murderous provocations’ that took place on 7 October – a genocide that received enthusiastic support from most of the Israeli public." www.citizen.co.za/news/sa-nobe...

There is a huge gap between what is actually happening and what we can represent or express. Still, we try and seize a moment of survival through cultural and artistic action, for the new reality we live in requires different visual and verbal tools. Marwan Nassar ibraaz.org/ibraaz-publi...

"If you care about functional journalism and the truth, the response should be active, outward revulsion and hostility. This isn't a disagreement over established partisan tropes, it's corrupt fascism. You don't chat it up, you destroy it." karlbode.com/the-u-s-pres...

American Rivers named the South Kawishiwi River—a vital artery of the iconic Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness— to America’s Most Endangered Rivers® list of 2026, due to proposed sulfide-ore copper mining in its headwaters. Urge the Senate to save the BWCA.

And the company that wants to mine there? It’s Chilean-owned Twin Metals, which plans to ship the ore to China. This isn’t “America First.” This is selling out American public lands to foreign interests permanently.

Experts found that the White House budget request for the upcoming fiscal year could defund 54 NASA science missions, including a spacecraft currently studying Jupiter and two planned Venus missions: www.scientificamerican.com/article/whit...

The good news is organizers are fighting back and winning. Local activists have helped prevent the construction or conversion of 12 new detention centers across the country. This includes rural areas and deep red states, where some GOP Members of Congress oppose DHS’ planned warehouse conversions.

Science is good. We should fund it.

Our job is to put maximal pressure on everyone who has the power to stop Trump’s illegal war with Iran: act.indivisible.org/sign/no-iran...

The viciousness of issuing this ruling on Trans Day of Visibility is so profound. Just filled with anger and sorrow for kids across this country who deserve love, respect, and safety instead of this foul hatred.

Happy Trans Day of Visibility ❤️🏳️‍⚧️❤️

got flights before No Kings was announced for today—thanks to all of you in the streets—holler extra for me. in solidarity.

Kings rule by fear. They make people afraid to speak up. Trump wants us scared and quiet. We will not be. If you are looking for real time updates and voices of the resistance at #NoKings events around the country today this is a good place to start. Please share and follow. ❤️ go.bsky.app/K6JGV3h

Spotted at a No Kings protest in Durham, North Carolina! Epic creativity!

Republicans, in contrast, have elected one of the most corrupt politicians in U.S. history…gutted the entirety of U.S. corporate oversight…created untold chaos and harm with gestapo-grade racial policing and unnecessary, costly war. karlbode.com/polling-show...

I’m sitting here with this thing of thimbles, …my grandma Fay’s thimble collection…I inherited when she died. when she died I would put these thimbles, 10 of them, on my fingers & type poems, & we were making art together….I think almost all art is made by the dead, & we don’t know it.

Every single time a new outlet feels compelled to interview an unremarkable billionaire they should pause and ask themselves if there isn't an under-represented artist, scientist, activist, engineer, or academic actually doing useful/interesting things that's more deserving of your readership's time

as usual @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social bringing it all together www.meditationsinanemergency.com/visions-of-l... [tips hat] Danish parliamentarian Rasmus Jarlov said "I hope he’s kept away from young women, because that’s the mentality of a rapist. You can’t defend yourself, so I’m going to take you."

This. The image is of graves being dug for the girls killed when the U.S. bombed their school.

Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone. But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.

Steve-O was on Joe Rogan's show trying to defend trans people and Rogan went off, he called trans people "fucking perverts" and "mass shooters" who have done the majority of school shootings. Completely unhinged bigotry paid for by your Spotify subscriptions.
