Great news for the American people 💯🎯

Lady Libertie writes, “Sometimes you need to see visitors cheer for our cities, laugh with our people, eat our food and sing our songs before you can feel, again, that this place is not only what has been done to it. It is also what is still alive in it. And that’s why we fight.”

Germany has successfully engineered a revolutionary transparent solar glass that generates clean electricity while remaining completely see-through from both sides, fundamentally transforming how buildings produce energy. #solarpower #ActOnClimate

Watching establishment Dems flip out as the DSA/ WFP push the party wayyyy Left is giving me life. I ran for - and got elected as- a PCP bc I want to push the Dem party in OR wayyyy Left. Parties go through evolutions and renovations. Dems are morphing. I’m here for it. Part of it. Let’s go.

SCOTUS Justice Amy Coney Barrett has 2 Black Haitian kids who she adopted. Today she ruled to expel 700K Haitians who were here legally. Proximity to white supremacy is not protection from white supremacy. And proximity to Black and brown people is not exemption from being a fascist and racist.

As part of the older generation, I say bring it!

Important context in this thread.

I went in expecting humor but found more. Do read it.

this is a great illustration of one of the fundamental insights of democracy — that there is no such thing as "the people" and that majorities are elusive and ever shifting. no election, no decision, is final and treating an election as a final decision is profoundly undemocratic.

Reminder: perhaps the easiest & cheapest way to tell Bezos to fuck off is by linking to Bookshop or (even better) an indie bookstore WHENEVER you talk about a book online. W/o a link people will just google it & that will lead to Amazon. W a link you can send a sale to a good business

NY-10, my district, is the most Jewish congressional district in the country, w/about 25% of voters identifying as Jewish. And yet tonight the district threw out pro-Israel Rep. Dan Goldman, and elected Brad Lander, who calls Gaza a genocide and favors an cut-off of weapons to Israel, by 30+ pts. 1/

The message tonight is clear: the era of spineless corporate Dems in safe seats is ending. We get the party we demand, and we're demanding fighters. And primary season ain't over. More endorsements to come!

Okay AI has one use i guess

I've expanded the graph. Personally, mine veers a little towards Coach Dad, but remains firmly in The Lawn Zone™

“Despite being located in a county where nearly 75% of people voted for Trump, residents … began mobilizing against the plan. The Guardian was the first to report that [the city manager] shut off the federal government’s access to water at the warehouse in February as the controversy took off.”

friends, I have brought you a gift

Today we honor Juneteenth. On June 19, 1865, news of emancipation came to Galveston TX, bringing freedom to some of the last enslaved Black Americans. With Juneteenth being in Pride Month, we also recognize intersections of oppression– how white supremacy has compounded impact on Black LGBTQ folks.

On Juneteenth, we celebrate Black freedom and resilience while acknowledging the lasting impact of slavery. We must build a future where every Black American can thrive, free from discrimination. Our fight for racial justice continues. ✊🏽

There’s a sociological term for bureaucratic actors who try to mete micro justice like this. I choose to call them heroes.

“May history not accuse us of turning the pain of those who suffer into a common sight along our shores. Today, here by the sea, every individual that arrives asks us what remains of our humanity. Sooner or later, it will be known whether we protected life or whether we yielded to indifference.”

Long but interesting thread for two points: 1️⃣ Don’t let the people hyping AI convince you that you’re obsolete or worthless. They’re pushing their own agenda. 2️⃣ The French speaker in this story is a cautionary tale about how relying on AI can strip you of your faculties and your self-confidence.

🧵 … Hey all … I’m in search of story sources who’d want to interview for an upcoming feature about trans folks who’ve moved from red states to blue ones, especially since the last presidential election. Signal boosts appreciated.

@rikiwilchins.bsky.social 2026 Jun BrighterSide Meta-study in British Journal of Sports Medicine polling 52 studies and thousands of participants finds that--while trans women often had greater lean mass--they had no athletic advantage on performance measures most often cited in sports arguments.

Good news! A federal judge has found Trump’s cancellation of $82.1 billion in grants for clean energy projects in 16 states — funded by the Biden Dept of Energy — to be unlawful. Those projects are ordered to be funded ✊🌎

A gentle reminder to us white women: criticism of your harmful position is not victimization. You are not being victimized when someone critiques the harm you are supporting or participating in. You are experiencing discomfort and it's distressing to you. That's not oppression.

Hi, we saw you from across the bar, and we'd like to give you health care.

As a reminder for everyone saying, "The US had never before scored four goals in a World Cup" that they mean the men's team had never before scored that many. The women's team has absolutely scored more than four goals in a world cup, including in the final. And they also wins things.

have u heard/read "like, totally, whatever" by melissa lozada-olivia? it talks about this and is fantastic (www.youtube.com/watch?v=me4_... is her reading of it) [deleted and recreated this reply cause i accidentally grabbed the wrong link from my list of fave poetry 😅]

The hill I will die on: Women say "like," "um," and "err," so frequently, because when there is the slightest pause in their speech, they are interrupted by men, and don't get the floor back to speak.🤷🏿‍♂️ So people that are frequently interrupted tend to use more verbal fillers. Let women speak.

Wow.

there are almost 100k people watching just one stream and not a single letter has been removed! it’s after midnight on the east coast! if we must speak the language of the depraved, think of the revenue opportunities with those numbers. the people are salivating for any accountability whatsoever.

One of a surprisingly rare number of political satire pieces I’ve seen that supremely sticks the landing. Read it to the end.

The struggle is real

Everybody should listen to this. A more articulate and specific critique of the AI financing speculative bubble than I’ve heard pretty much anywhere else. I guess he didn’t make it past the primary? May not be the last we see of him.

The benefits of switching to renewables are endless.

Data center fight is giving people first hand experience that the many can take on the money. Once people feel what solidarity can achieve, it becomes that much harder to divide & distract. There's a reason why unions members less susceptible to far right than same demographic folks not in unions.
