Assata’s autobiography is radicalizing. It’s one of the most important texts in the education of a revolutionary. Start with & center Black struggle & you’ll never go wrong.

⚡️Hungarian drones breach Ukraine's airspace, Zelensky says. Zelensky said Ukrainian forces recorded drone incursions over border areas and that preliminary assessments suggest the unmanned aircraft were "conducting reconnaissance on the industrial potential of Ukraine's border areas."

Personally, I don't want farmers to get a single penny of my taxes for a bailout. I voted to protect your farm and you voted to destroy it. It is not my job to save you from your own stupidity. Pull yourself up by your bootstraps.

Google "Nutraloaf" "In 2012, a federal appeals court ruled that Nutraloaf was cruel and unusual punishment for a Wisconsin inmate who said the dish was making him sick. “Last I checked,” Cuellar said, “14 states have banned the use of Nutraloaf.” www.fox13now.com/news/fox-13-...

I’m not so sure that Tylenol causes autism since my grandpa, who was a scientist and born before Tylenol, created a shed complete with every barbed wire ever manufactured and had each labeled with the date of production and its use…every generation in my family since has a boy with Aspergers.

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — Dozens of delegates from multiple nations walk out of UN hall as Israeli prime minister prepares to speak.

"Many people" are saying that only a committed white supremacist would do this.

It is stunning to see how the notion of whiteness shapes these posts about “our system of justice.” Yes, weaponizing the DOJ is very bad, but looking back at 250 years of injustice, how is this a low point? Selling slave children, monetizing Black incarceration, & immiserating Black lives are worse

We are so back

Republicans can’t win on their policies, so they are trying to dodge accountability by rewriting the rules. These lawmakers are going out of their way to silence the will of the people and deliberately undermine our democracy.

This guy is murdering people in the Caribbean and deciding how much your cabinets will cost.

So, I noticed a new evolution in the way comics are displayed in book stores today. I found a shop that placed comics in the comics section, but also on a single shelf at the end of each genre section. So if you are browsing fantasy, the books beyond Z are all fantasy comics.

It’s truly baffling to me that so many of these stories focus on “wow big fish” and not “this is an IUCN Red List Critically Endangered species that is extremely physiologically fragile and often does not survive fishing practices like this” www.mysanantonio.com/news/south-t... 🦑🧪🌎🦈🐠

I’ve written about several traditional French soups, each simple, rustic, homey: onion soup, leek & potato soup, split pea soup and my favorite of them all: aïgo-boulido, provençal garlic soup. It’s what I need now to warm my body and calm my soul. So do you jamieschler.substack.com/p/aigo-bouli...

Quinnipiac in recent poll asked: Do you think that the way people talk about politics these days is contributing to violence in the United States, or don't you think so? 82% of voters agreed with this including majority of Dems, Independents, and GOP. I said basically this and got fired.

People who couldn’t bring themselves to say “Black Lives Matter” can’t teach us anything about civility

JUST NOW AT THE UN…

Only an administration intent on committing war crimes in the present and future would stoop to calling Wounded Knee a "battle" rather than what it truly was: a massacre of over 250 Lakotas, mainly women, children, and the elderly. 1/

The wounded knee thing is really Trumpism distilled to its essence. It’s not enough to be able crush people who can’t fully defend themselves, it’s not enough to actually crush them, you also have to love and admire those who do the crushing otherwise the Trumpists’ delicate feelings are injured

#39 Audition (Katie Kitamura, 2025) A mother, a son, a father, a husband, a friend. Or are they? Life and theatre overlap and intertwine in this unclassifiable, strange, and beautiful book. Hype (e.g., Booker shortlist) absolutely deserved #booksky 📚🖋️

#40 On the Calculation of Volume II (Solvej Balle, 2020) Second part of this genre-bending story of a woman stuck in time. Thought-provoking, heartfelt, but perhaps getting a bit repetitive. Curious nonetheless where this story goes, especially after the reveal in the very last pages #booksky 📚🖋️

To gather our military top leadership all in one place, announce it, essentially dox them all at once is a severe national security threat

Putin is invading Alaska airspace and all our military are meeting in one place 🤔

Sure Pete, let’s tell all our adversaries in advance that ALL of our top military staff will be in one identified place at the same time. What could possible go wrong? abcnews.go.com/Politics/heg...

Everything Trump has been doing weakens America. If he were a Russian asset, what would he be doing differently? Nothing. Now he's called all the top military brass to Quantico for the first time in history. All in one place. What if he's setting us up for an attack?

I have a serious question about the meeting of all our military heads next week. Aside from the "Is it wise to put all of these people in one place and announce it?" does it seem like a plot from a movie (Inglorious Basterds) or from the pages of Nazi Germany (Night of the Long Knives)?
