I received this email about Democrats caving to end the shutdown from one of the SNAP recipients I spoke to:

“I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time.” aphyr.com/posts/397-i-...

This kind of highlights how well Mamdani ran his campaign and contrasts it with how poorly Cuomo ran his. Mamdani won his primary by showing his love for NYC and staying on-message on an issue with broad appeal. Cuomo meanwhile, conspired to have opponents drop out and couldn't even do that right.

The secret to freelancing is falling ass-backwards into an area of expertise that lets you set a high hourly rate and then do everything you can to get a salary I'm tired of looking for work garmsammit

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

I have approximately zero following on this app, sharing in the hopes it can get in front of the right person. A man I went to college with’s wife was kidnapped by ICE at a green card hearing, and he’s trying to find a reporter who will speak to him about the situation

(If you’ve never had it, Cajun food is fucking transformative. I am serious. It will change your life.)

A Black teen named Kalief Browder was falsely accused of stealing a backpack. He spent 3 years tortured at Rikers & died by suicide A wealthy white man named Tom Homan was caught by FBI accepting bribes. He was promoted to a powerful law enforcement position This is what white supremacy looks like

“And then remember this. The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear.”-Nemik, 5 BBY

The Washington Post Fired Me — But My Voice Will Not Be Silenced. I spoke out against hatred and violence in America — and it cost me my job. By @karenattiah.bsky.social karenattiah.substack.com/p/the-washin...

Pretty sure the vast majority of Americans either celebrate this verdict or know nothing about it

My kid's second-grade class had its first encounter with bathroom graffiti and have decided the school bathroom is haunted

JUST IN: A historic conviction: Brazil's Supreme Court delivers a majority vote to convict former President Jair Bolsonaro over a plot to overthrow the government.

A perfect encapsulation of American politics.

Everyone remember your Luigi lesson: They're lying about the reward and you will lose your job.

This is why bullying doesn't work in international politics. Once again, Trump's policies have left the US weaker and less capable of exerting influence.

BREAKING: ICE is sending Russian dissidents back to Russia. When the dissidents arrived in Russia, the Russian authorities were given documents relating to their asylum applications in the US which under US law are confidential. This seems to be part of a secret agreement between Trump and Putin.

We took the paywall down on this one. defector.com/how-the-fuck...

Did they cut parts of the video that showed children on fire?

oh this is straightforward white nationalist agitprop

heeey it seems that someone with nickname Dreamy Juliet is using my artworks (both personal & cmms) with erased signatures to mislead people and pass off work as their own including offering custom works & cmms 🙃 please know that these are my arts, I am not connected to these accounts in any way

The kids have apparently gotten the kitten hooked on pokemon

Remember when Trump trotted out an innocent Black child who was a cancer patient, like he was a prop, and then MAGAs pretended to be offended when we didn't celebrate that publicity stunt? Yeah...Trump's fascist policies have defunded pediatric brain cancer research. MAGA wants Structural Eugenics

Post a random picture or else everything will go wrong in September

RT if you also wish ill upon JK Rowling.

anyway the choice america faces going forward is live in the confederacy or do reconstruction for real and purge those motherfuckers from all of public life. and there isn’t really an in-between.

@aabria.bsky.social and @erikaishii.bsky.social are pushing the boundaries of actual play as a storytelling medium with Bleem and Lou. @worldsbeyondnumber.bsky.social is an incredible show I look forward to every week. Thank you, and thanks to Jared and Taylor for the phenomenal soundscape

i will never not be amused by how the conservative world is governed by the kind of “affirmative action” they say happens in mainstream institutions. totally unqualified dipshits are handed the keys to institutions because they say the right thing and have the right look.

He’s initiating a federal takeover of our country’s capital. Please, please, PLEASE repost and donate $5 if you’re able to help our family leave before it’s too late.

When you tell a joke about autism that has your autistic friends cracking up and your allistic friends looking around awkwardly? That's the good stuff.

This is why anti-vaxers were always fucking dumb. If vaccines were a conspiracy by Big Pharma, it would be a bad conspiracy that keeps people healthy. Now their shit has created demand for ways to reduce the horrific suffering caused by anti-vaxers, which just profits Big Pharma. Fuck RFK

Quote posting this so I can remember to share it with my wife who loves penguins

bump! <3 Getting more and more vital as the days pass. Workers' rights are in jeopardy already, and my husband's place of employment is giving him a lot of grief for not working *voluntary* OT on Mondays because he has to take our disabled son to speech therapy.

Posting it here, too, bc why not? If it pops off anywhere, I’ll be overjoyed. Help my family get out of this country! Reposts = ❤️

It feels like we should be making a bigger deal of “we actually did in fact find a cure for AIDS”

After a solid week of anxiety, I now have a car lined up and ready to purchase. ...aaaannnnnnd I'm laid off. Shit
