Imagine being the most decorated gymnast in history, almost dying, and media referring to you as “NFL Wife” as your greatest achievement.😑 Misogyny is a helluva drug. Smh. Truly hope Simone is safe and makes a full recovery. What a horrible experience.

When I had students ask me why they should take US history in college when they took it in high school—“I got a 5 on the AP!”—I would tell them it was because now I could teach them things that they wouldn’t have been allowed to learn in high school because someone’s parents would’ve been mad.

Protection against heat “isn’t rocket science,” UFW's Strater said. “We know what it takes to keep workers alive in high heat: They need shade, they need paid rest breaks…they need training and information, not only as to what the danger signs are, but what their rights are. 1/2

ah, I was wondering why the NYT was having a panic attack yesterday lol

We need more rich people with normal interests like "your movie sounds neat" instead of, like, white fertility rates.

Salt water laced with cancer-causing chemicals, a byproduct of oil and gas drilling, keeps shooting out of the ground in Oklahoma. Experts say it means even more wastewater is spreading underground, poisoning the state’s water supply. (Published Oct. 2025 with @readfrontier.bsky.social)

"I just couldn’t go back to life as usual, because what I witnessed there wasn’t a war. I witnessed a level of destruction I had never experienced before. What I witnessed was really a genocide."

I will never interact with any AI product if I can humanly avoid it. You wanted me to give this tech a chance? Too motherfucking bad, you should have thought about it before you started plastering cities with these ads

I think that those of us who don't live in Maine should probably just let the people who actually live in the state figure out their own stuff, tbh. If you don't like the candidate Maine Dems pick (a very reasonable position!), maybe just focus your energy on a different race.

Anne Hathaway, you will ALWAYS be that girl. 💙💛

One of the few moments of pure comedy in my seizure adventure was getting buzzed in a hospital bed by my smart watch informing me I had doubled my typical cardio for the day

"Organizations that provide anonymous legal advice for military members grappling with orders they fear are illegal said they had received calls from service members concerned about the legality of the boat strikes, some from people directly involved in them..." www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

A driver assaulted me with their car today. Before I share this story, I should say I'm fine (just a scraped knuckle) and that I did file a police report. It's one of the wilder interactions I've had with a driver and I feel lucky I wasn't seriously hurt. 1/

How you can help your unhoused neighbors 1. Let people know what’s happening! Keep track of scheduled events & check in with neighbors. 🧵6/9

REP. @aoc.bsky.social on Trump going to the Knicks game even though fans don’t want him there: “It has already been a vibe killer, because now MSG has to shut down the watch parties… sometimes you decide not to go to things so other people can enjoy it.”

I aint talk about it all yet, but my state government is stripping a formerly incarcerated Black man who just won a NOLA election (with 67 or 68% of the vote) of his position before he even takes office and I’m pretty enraged by it.

as many of you will remember, I dug into detailed local reporting about a different ICE victim every day of Lent to meditate on their stories, and when you read them all lined up some clear patterns start to emerge. the starkest to me was that every employee of GEO Group should be sent to The Hague

Queers of a certain age, we see the name "Laramie" in connection with violence against one of our own and we have a real visceral reaction. I'm glad Rihanna is still alive. I hope someday she's OK.

#OtD 7 Jun 2020 the brother of a Seattle police officer drove his car at high speed into a Black Lives Matter protest in the city, then shot a Black protester, Dan Gregory, who tried to protect the crowd. The driver avoided jail, getting only probation stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/1256...

Two-tier policing is real and ever-present. Black and Brown people experience it. Women experience it. Pro-Palestine and green protesters experience it. But the last people who would ever experience it are right-wing white men. They are the people with whom the police instinctively align.

pssst. The anti-vaxxers don’t want you to know this 🙄 But it’s true.

Fundamentally misunderstands what “writing a dissertation” means because he fundamentally misunderstands what an original contribution to the knowledge is, and how it comes into being. Showing his own ass.

To the leadership of the American Diabetes Association: Dear Mr. Henderson and Dr. Kalyani, By now, you have probably received plenty of missives about the police action against scientists and clinicians with your own organization at your national meeting. 1/

The Albanian people have been massively protesting for several consecutive days against slumlord crook Jared Kushner and Crimestress Ivanka seizing land in their country to the sum of billions of dollars to build a trashy resort. I hope they don’t stop until their evil corrupt deal is reversed.

BREAKING: in May 2026, *every single one* of the 599 refugees admitted in the U.S. were white South Africans. In FY 2026, the U.S. has admitted a total of 6,665 white South Africans, three Afghans (back in November 2025), and nobody else. For reference, the U.S. admitted 100,060 refugees in 2024.

People like Kane and many many others that do care about human art and the creative process have been a beacon of hope while trying to navigate making art in this current climate.

“Diabolical” doesn’t even begin to describe this: A DOGE official working with DHS “described the goal of declaring 2.7 million living people dead: making immigrants so miserable that they self-deported or went to Social Security offices for help, where they could be arrested.”

Overwhelmingly, the thing that'll make you sound better as a beginner is practicing more, and that should be *the* driving goal of the stuff you have. "Does this make me want to practice more often? Make it easy and effortless to practice more often?"

Uh oh, Jean Kaseya from Africa CDC just said during press conference, that although over 300 million dollars pledged internationally to tackle Ebola outbreak, not even 3 million received. He's asking -- is this 300 million real money?

I've taught PERSEPOLIS (book & movie) more times than I can count. Two epic masterpieces, but, more than that, two texts that find their way to young people. I've never had a class that didn't *get* PERSEPOLIS, and that's a miracle of its own. Satrapi's voice and imagination are so alive. RIP.

Senate Republicans just started a marathon voting session known as vote-a-rama in the Senate. Not to improve your life. Not to lower your costs. But to funnel $70 billion more to ICE and the abuses I saw at Delaney Hall. Not another dime.

Anyway, if you find yourself in a group of folks who are excited to see chemical/ “less lethal” munitions splitting a crowd, might I suggest you leave that group post haste Your emotional and physical wellbeing is paramount. Surround yourself with folks who get that

A photog covering Delaney Hall had to ditch her camera bag with $10K of gear an injury. The bag was gone when a friend went to get it, but an airtag showed the bag was at the house of a sergeant in the Essex County Prosecutors office, prosecutors now say: www.thecityreporter.nyc/2026/06/04/o...

An investigation by The City Reporter, based on a database of more than 1,200 lawsuits, shows that ICE agents in the field have seized Latinos in numbers that far exceed their share of the undocumented population. Full story: projects.thecity.nyc/ice-street-a...

Voters should heed @vanhollenformd.bsky.social warning about the outside spending in #MD05. Super PACs tied to corporate special interests aren't pouring millions of dollars into the race with working people in mind. They just want a lackey in Congress and a return on investment.

It's nuts how antagonistic all AI marketing is. From "it will replace employees!" to "it's just as dangerous and powerful as Skynet" to "the tasks you're most proud of as a parent or artist are inefficient wastes of time". These aren't attacks from ignorant critics, this is the official marketing

Local LGBTQ+ youth orgs are reeling from funding cuts and right-wing targeting. Donate if you can, but know that there are always things that need doing, from sending out mailers to chaperoning drop-in centers. Remember: do what they need, not what you want to do. It isn’t about you.

Every year for Pride, I repost Hue. I made him to send love and comfort to those who feel Pride isn’t for them because they aren’t out. You matter, you are valid, and it’s ok if you aren’t ready yet. Coming out is not a requirement for being part of this community. Happy Pride 🌈

One dog did this in two minutes. Original post

You can think of this as a "reverse" or "turn" strategy. Reversing attention from the distraction & recentering attention on what is essential. Calling out the politics of creating hate-objects & turning attention back to those who profit from the strategy. It's a contrast. Well played. (from March)

(The Stonewall Protests even being called Stonewall RIOTS... AND happening in the summer of NINETEEN SIXTY-NINE should also clue everyone in IMMEDIATELY to which community was under siege...please....)

You rarely seen it said outright so I will do it for the sake of clarity: in order for there to be a true ceasefire, either the US will have to abandon the project of maintaining Israeli regional “hegemony” at the cost of all of its interests, or Iran will have to liquidate itself

While Trump is getting dissed by American artists such as Milli Vanilli and Brett Michaels, President Claudia Sheinbaum is welcoming U2 to Mexico to talk about what a real president does with their power. Universal healthcare and raising the minimum wage. @cardonebrian.bsky.social

Our updated @georgetownccf.bsky.social tracker finds that 16 months into President Trump’s 2nd term, Medicaid is covering 2 million fewer children. This is very bad news b/c the child uninsured rate is likely going up as a result. And this is before HR 1 Medicaid cuts kick in.

FWIW, the country owning 50% of these companies also sounds like a setup for us having to BAIL OUT these fucking companies.

“Over more than a dozen years, Citizens Bank has arranged for and helped provide some $2 billion in financing for GEO Group and CoreCivic. ... Without that money, these corporations literally could not function.”

One of the surprising things I discovered after I stopped eating animal products was that even I had a bias against animals' intelligence, probably motivated by a desire to feel better about eating their flesh and the products of their bodies.

good morning, this week will see the demands I wrote be presented at a small national press conference along with other world cup host cities, I’ll be getting other local businesses signed up to the anti-ICE pledge, and we’ll probably be doing a mix of community and midterm canvassing this weekend.

Ed Markey tears into Seth Moulton: "Massachusetts deserves better than a senator who scapegoats trans kids." The crowd goes fucking wild.
