This is addressed to everyone, but especially Americans under the age of 30: Read dystopian novels. Read 1984, and Brave New World, and Fahrenheit 451, and White Noise, and—fuck—even Hunger Games. So many of you just aren’t getting what’s been happening just because you don’t read.

Also: Parable of the sower by Octavia E. Butler.

Abolish ICE

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

@hcrichardson.bsky.social turned decades of studying democracy into a nightly act of devotion, writing alone past midnight, no sponsors, no noise, just truth and care. She’s given millions a place to breathe, to understand, to feel less alone. Grateful for her light in the dark. TYSM HCR! #Pinks

Kansas City welcomed the world 🫶 The smallest host city, the largest impact. Proud. Thank you FIFA World Cup for the memories 🩵

Humiliating people because they’re poor is directly related to seeing poverty as a personal rather than a policy failure. It’s much easier to write off poor folks as deficient on an individual level than hold society (and policies and institutions) accountable on a larger level It’s moral laziness.

By the numbers, Clarence Thomas has been treated to: • At least 38 destination vacations; • 26 private jet flights; • 12 VIP passes to pro & college sporting events; • 2 stays at luxury resorts; • 1 standing invite to an uber-exclusive golf club (Published 2023)

WE’RE ON TO THE 2027 WOMENS WORLD CUP

k but it is actually a little depressing seeing all the people on Twitter who are like “wow, soccer in the US is dead for a generation!” Hello? Have you met Triple Espresso? Have you gone to an NWSL stadium and felt the perfect vibes? Have you watched a Hal Hershfelt social video??????

This might be the most blatant example in existence of "rich guy who created a problem attempting to place the blame for that problem on immigrants"

“Dear migrants, before I say any other word to you, I want to bow before your dignity. “You are not numbers or case files. “You are people — with a family and a home left behind, with dreams that no one has the right to scorn.” — Pope Leo XIV

Tem’s Top 5 goals but which are we missing?! 🔥 There’s only 42 more goals to choose from 👀

It's been a while, so let's give a boost to one of my favorite hachure designs, of the #Cascade Range volcanoes. This bit of wall art might be of interest to folks who love the #PNW. www.etsy.com/listing/4373...

Sleep well KC, TC6 will always be here 😴

That’s my GOAT

Feds are out in Minneapolis and St Paul this morning, arresting observers and people who protested Metro Surge. There are maybe 5-6 that I know of so far, that’s 5-6 too many. We knew this could happen. Check in with your people and secure your devices.

Middle East analysts say Trump's deal with Iran is a humiliating defeat for the United States. A guy who shits himself in public and thinks windmills cause cancer says it's an amazing foreign policy triumph. For busy Americans, it can be hard to know who to trust.

We're fun, hospitable, don't stand on formality, and really want everyone to enjoy themselves. It's just that we're really, really stupid about government and wealth and how that affects everyone else.

Put into context if 700,000 children received $400/month in food aid, it would come to $3.36 billion a year- less than 1% of the additional $350 billion Trump wants for the military.

BREAKING: In an unsigned, per curiam opinion on the shadow docket, the SCOTUS conservatives allow Alabama to use a congressional map held repeatedly by a lower court to have been enacted with discriminatory intent.

U.S. seems unlivable.

The hardship of being completely unqualified for a job is something the president knows all too well

My three-year-old was watching CBS when she turned to me gravely and asked ”Daddy, how come everyone sucks up to the orange man?” And when I told her “Because today’s elites are the most wretched, miserable, servile, pathetic trash that was ever shat into civilization,” she started crying

hang it in the nelson

Izzy always with the extra boost 😂 She has more assists than we thought 💀

POV: Temwa scores on you 🔥 Chawingoal in frames 😮‍💨

Redistribute their wealth

Yes. Change it so it's the same story. That's what "same" means.

Wrong to the point of malpractice

Here's how the corruption works: Thursday: RJ Reynolds donates $5M to Trump Saturday: Trump invites RJR execs to Mar a Lago; execs ask to loosen regs on flavored vapes; Trump calls up RFK Jr. and tells him to change it Friday: FDA changes the policy

we are at bayfc pride day and there are so many families and kids and it is so fucking joyful, dude. people like us exist and we always have. we always will. it’s nice to be reminded of that sometimes

Howard Zinn: Whom Will We Honor Memorial Day?

Thank you to the exceptional performers of the Kansas City Symphony for honoring the sacrifice and service of the women and men of our Armed Forces at the 23rd annual Celebration at the Station.

Things we've missed: Lo cellys 💃

Presidential emoluments, presidential emoluments, unconstitutional presidential emoluments.

God I would have hammered him so hard for giving an opinion in an area he has no training in while testifying as an expert witness in another field. Maybe the Daubert hearing did happen, but I have doubts.

Trump did not reach a settlement with the government. There was no case to settle. He has not created a slush fund. He has colluded with Todd Blanche to steal money from the US Treasury. This is not a “deal.” This is a crime for which Trump & Blanche must be prosecuted. It ia a crime.

Recreation.gov was supposed to make access to public lands more equitable and streamlined. Instead, it’s rife with bots and inequality, while a government contractor benefits. www.wired.com/story/the-us...

Most of what people want can be accomplished at the state level, if only people would consistently turn out to vote in every election. And not just November! April, August, etc.

The thing is, the elections that get the poorest turnouts, and have the most impact upon people's lives, are the ones where the electoral college isn't the least bit involved.

New in PN: The assault on higher ed goes deeper than you think "This is bigger than budget cuts. It’s not just a continuation of things like longtime GOP efforts to cut Pell Grants. It’s a wide-ranging assault designed to drastically limit access to higher ed for all but the rich & well-connected."
