I wanted an easier way to keep track of art exhibitions across SF's larger museums, so i vibe coded this website www.goseeartsf.com automated scrapers pull from each venue, a little Claude AI writes the summaries

found a new NOAA gallery that has terrible metadata but also this guy

Indivisible and No Kings will be mobilizing this weekend for All Roads Lead to the South Republicans are ripping away representation from Black communities and we will not stand by JOIN US: blackpowerwarroom.com/dayofaction/

Before getting fired this spring, Kristi Noem effectively set fire to FEMA. In Ep. 1 of our new series, American Emergency: The Movement to Kill FEMA, Micah Loewinger traces how the agency’s mysterious origins fueled far-right conspiracies that still haunt it today lnk.to/onthemedia/b...

RFK Jr. showing his eugenicist beliefs. Here he is today at The City Club in Cleveland: "The average American who died from COVID had 3.8 chronic diseases. So what was really killing them? It was almost impossible for COVID to kill a healthy person. It was killing people who were already sick."

Outright fascism now.

The Trump Administration has been using law enforcement to target elected leaders, particularly Black elected leaders, since they singled out Ras Baraka and LaMonica McIver when they tried to inspect a detention center.

tRump & his oil-coal oligarchs are committing ecocide: clearcutting millions of acres, drilling Alaska’s Serengeti, scrapping EPA rules, killing polar bears & whales, forcing the Pentagon to burn more coal. Europe: sanction these destroyers like Russian oligarchs! mcsp.short.gy/XCfS

Completely outrageous, first he tears down the east wing without permission, declares he’s building a $400 million dollar ballroom no one wants, now Republicans want to shove 1 billion dollar price tag down throats of taxpayers! This is why we need to vote all Republicans out of office!

He should have to pay from his own funds to restore the east wing. He had no right to tear it down. He needs to be punished.

They've got a lot of nerve, calling it the East Wing Construction Project SINCE THEY ARE NOT RECONSTRUCTING THE EAST WING!

Maybe you have to live in DC to see how cruel and vulgar this latest Trump move is—in a league w bulldozing the East Wing. I'm no golfer. But the **public** bike paths and sports fields (and tennis courts + golf course) of Hains Point are a civic glory of the town. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/04/c...

I think Donald Trump should use the profits he has illegally secreted away in Qatar from the Venezuelan oil he stole & sold to fully rebuild the East Wing exactly as it was. He destroyed a piece of The People's House as if he is the owner. 1/2

When a child demolishes his East Wing Bunker in a tantrum you don’t go right out and buy him a new $1 billion East Wing Bunker.

Adding to the golf course uproar, Trump had workers to dump the demo debris from the East Wing (Donny's Folly) to the golf course at East Potomac Park. This park serves many Black golfers. This is the extent of Trump's racism.

SCOOP: The F.D.A. blocked the release of studies finding that Covid and shingles vaccines were safe. In the case of Covid, FDA staff had to withdraw studies heading toward publication: www.nytimes.com/2026/05/05/u...

Your periodic reminder that being rich and being smart are not correlated qualities.

We are rapidly losing the outlets where new writers can learn to shape a voice, where they can cultivate skills beyond quick news hits and PR with the guidance and mentorship of strong editors and the benefit of a trusted name, and it’s such a loss for writers and readers alike.

Federal agents “took off his pants and shirt, handcuffed him, and drove him 65 kilometers to the U.S. District Court in Greenbelt, Maryland, where he was fingerprinted, photographed, and jailed.” Sounds… fascist.

Michigan State Police are investigating after an MSU zoology student from Maryland that was getting ready to graduate was shot, by his mother's count, 17 times by police. 17 times.

Let’s state the obvious: The government will not convict Comey. It also likely will not convict the SPLC. The teeth of these indictments are *financial* — imposing so much cost + reputational harm that these “enemies” of the Trump admin are forever weakened. And that others like them are cowed.

Same goes for every "genius" academic or scholar.

dems are not perfect but they got this guy out in the span of a weekend, while the republicans made Hegseth the secretary of defense

I genuinely believe that people don't appreciate just how much of all the bad vibes right now are still largely a COVID hangover. It was a profoundly traumatizing event for American society, on the order of the civil war or the great depression and we've largely decided to just pretend

There's now a disability section on @motherjones.com's homepage 🥳 www.motherjones.com

the idea that vance is anti-war and was a skeptic seems really to come exclusively from vance and is not borne out by anything else in his record as vice president so far

Earth. In the dark. From Artemis II.

I think a lot of people here are way underestimating how difficult it is to break a sexual abuse story *even when everybody kind of knows it* unless you can get victims on record. it is very, very hard.

This regime is not systematically implementing a masterplan. We are dealing with chaotic destruction wrought by an increasingly delusional wannabe-dictator who leads a comically incompetent government and a movement drowning in its own conspiratorial hyperreality.

I trust journalists way more than cops and courts to investigate sexual violence allegations. When a thoroughly reported journalistic investigation comes out, like the ones about Eric Swalwell, I’ve seen enough. If you haven’t done this work you may be unaware of how much goes into it.

Contrary to public perception a huge % of pregnant teenagers in the 1990s were impregnated by adult men. The younger they were, the larger the average age gap between mother and father was. Fixing teen pregnancy was in part a clampdown on statutory rape. That's what conservatives want to reverse.

It’s OK to love all the bees (the honey bees, too). Different bee species can coexist with very little evidence of direct interaction. buff.ly/MQcl55h

Whoa 🤯 The Moon, in full eclipse, with the #Artemis II Orion spacecraft. Part of the Moon and spacecraft are lit by Earthshine, and both Saturn and Mars are visible to the lower right. Incredible. Details: images.nasa.gov/details/art0...

Called my Senators and Representative, urging them to cut their recess short, show up in DC, and prepare articles of impeachment against Trump for violating "18 US Code § 1091 prohibiting the crime of genocide," as so clearly explained by my @cipolicy.bsky.social colleague @dylanwilliams.bsky.social

Anti-War protest tonight at 6 pm at the White House. Spread the word!

You are currently averaging over 10,000 calls per hour on 5 Calls (!!!) to demand your reps rein in Trump and his catastrophic threats. 🔥📞🔥

AOC: “This is a threat of genocide & merits removal from office. The President’s mental faculties are collapsing & cannot be trusted. To every individual in the President’s chain of command: You have a duty to refuse illegal orders. That includes carrying out this threat”

For those of you who love space exploration: we have robots exploring all across the solar system, and they can’t make anybody any money, they just discover cool stuff, so billionaires aren’t interested. Rovers and orbiters at Mars, orbiter at Jupiter, missions on the way to distant asteroids…

A few people have replied to my Artemis posts with links to Gil Scott-Heron's "Whitey on the Moon." Here's a story from Space.com about Artemis II pilot Victor Glover, currently en route to fly around the Moon, and his connection to that piece. www.space.com/space-explor...

there are tortillas in space. I am crying again.

there it is, all 7 continents

Much of reactionary politics today is best understood as a Confederate restoration project.

The Covid-19 pandemic’s early death toll was much higher than the official US count, according to a new study that spotlights dramatic disparities in the uncounted deaths. https://cnn.it/3NtbZYM

Inside the Department of War are two wolves: "We've shut down the Colleges of War because book learnings are woke, gay, and irrelevant to war fighting." "How come no one told us the Strait is important, there are different kinds of Kurds, Iran is big, and air power historically doesn't win wars?"

how ironic to see the state protect two people who sought to strip the state while working under the direction of elon musk, who has made it impossible to seek recourse when people get death threats and harassment on twitter

1. Donald Trump starts a war with Iran, deeply unpopular with the American people, that causes oil prices to spike. 2. Trump allows Russia to sell its oil at those inflated prices, giving Russia far more money for its war with Ukraine. 3. Trump is Russia First. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/12/u...

If defunding NASA could end war or pay the national debt, then we should do that. But it won’t. Great societies do many things at once. 🧪🔭🌎🛰️

1. Attacks on LGBTQ+ people have always been tied with the erosion of democracy. Now, a bill has just been passed in Florida that lets DeSantis remove elected officials for promoting pride/LGBTQ+ people in their official capacity. No court hearing necessary. Subscribe to support our journalism.
