My god, Octavia Butler, just miss ONCE

This right here.

How can a video of a person looking for their flip-flop be so good? 🗣️

NEW: lots of you have sent me this article asking for my thoughts. I’ve been able to confirm it. Just as she says, Trump’s administration is staging vote.gov on a non-government cloudflare account under the EOP where there’s no oversight or accounting. 1/ open.substack.com/pub/thedreyd...

Every woman watching knows exactly why Lucille Ball spoke up. “Take your hands off her.” Legend. ❤️‍🔥 #SheShed

Retired Lt. General Mark Hertling: “I’m sorry for getting emotional, but that comment from Hegseth that diversity is not our strength is bullshit.” Hertling shows pictures of fallen soldiers to refute Hegseth’s nonsense. Powerful. (From @bulwarkonline )

I saw chaos inside and outside of the ICE detention center Delaney Hall today. Detainees protesting the lack of due process, the disgusting food and poor treatment while their families and advocates stood outside calling for help. 1/4

Maya Wiley told the House Judiciary Committee that the attack on the Southern Poverty Law Center is a coordinated assault on civil rights orgs. As the administration guts enforcement & SCOTUS dismantles voting rights, multiracial democracy hangs in the balance. We're fighting.

“When any government. . . undertakes to say to its subjects, “This you may not read, this you must not see, this you are forbidden to know,” the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives.” — Robert A. Heinlein

I’m not sure why this isn’t being mentioned more, but: IRS policy for 50 years has been that the sitting president & VP get audited every year, in an effort to reassure the public they’re not corruptly abusing the office to enrich themselves.

Such an honor to host California Rising with @dgcomedy.bsky.social. Thanks to our listeners, we raised over $60,000 for dem house races in California 💙🌊💙

“I’m just so goddamn fed up with all this,” Gina Small, 29, said in a comment on the U.S. economy that one of her friends assumed was about the world’s ongoing humanitarian crises, another friend thought was about the weaponization of America’s military against its own people.

It’s been awhile, so who wants a #bloomscroll? First up, volunteer wild evening primrose. These really like gravel.

Love my Ladybugs.

I rarely say “major breaking” and rarely put out these video hits, but this is pretty major.

Trump plans to steal $1.7B from taxpayers to pay off the terrorists he already freed from prison. abcnews.com/US/trump-poi...

This is pretty amazing.

Dilly and Dally, sister ducks.

The Trump administration just handed 1.4 million acres of your public lands to the state of Alaska and they didn’t even try to hide why. The Dalton Utility Corridor has been managed by the Bureau of Land Management since the 1970s, originally established as a protected

This is how to math.

A city that doesn’t care for its children will fail. Our City’s child care providers do enormously important and difficult work. They deserve our utmost respect and appreciation. This week and every week, we must stand up and support them.

I visited the Pentagon recently and remarked to my escort there were lots of bathrooms. He said it’s because the Pentagon’s in Virginia and when it was built Jim Crow laws were in effect - the separate bathrooms were for blacks. As we saw in Virginia today, the past isn’t dead. It isn’t even past.

AOC on possibly running for the Senate or President: They assume my ambition is a title or a seat. My ambition is way bigger than that. My ambition is to change this country. Presidents come and go, elected officials come and go, single payer healthcare is forever.

Hey so as someone actually representing people arrested in Illinois for protesting ICE and doing it pro bono, if you think @katmabu.bsky.social is exaggerating about the cost, you have absolutely no idea. I literally maxed out every credit card I have just on expenses. And that's for STATE court.

Fun fact! Even when the government dismisses a charge (or all charges), your lawyer still did a bunch of work to get that to happen! And when you have two people who have been under indictment for 6+ months, it costs a shit ton of money — it’s part of why the government does this. Hope that helps.

Without stating your age, post your favorite film released the year you turned 18. I have the opposite problem.

This hits hard. Not because it’s new but because it’s still true! This isn’t just sad stats.This is real life for millions of women and it deserves more than silence! It’s time we start demanding better! Equality isn’t radical ….. it’s necessary! #SheShed #Equality #Feminism #EmpowerWomen

On the difference between the National Guard vs. ICE. (Conference on World Affairs, University of Colorado Boulder, April 15th, 2026)

So, friends: I promised I'd tell the story. Now I shall. Let a (former) psych nurse tell you the true (gods help us) story of a night in a big-time NYC emergency room: and the arrival of The Man With The Bloomingdales Bag. (1/n)

Is it just a coincidence that the DOJ indicted James Comey today after a judge ruled that his daughter Maurene Comey’s termination lawsuit can move forward? 🤔 Probably just a coincidence, huh? Probably also just a coincidence that she was a lead prosecutor on the Epstein case too.

Great question, fortunately it has an easy answer because they've repeatedly been in power in my lifetime The answer is that they'll be great for Wall Street, job growth, world peace, the environment, healthcare, and do exactly none of the things Nazis like Elon fearmonger about

In celebration of the ROGUE TROOPER PREMIER being announced at the magnificent ANNECY INTERNATIONAL ANIMATION FILM FESTIVAL & MARKET this June, (that was a mouthful,) clamp your sensors on these POSTERS from Paolo Rivera and Chris Weston respectively-

BREAKING: CSPAN is reporting shots fired at the White House Correspondents Dinner.

They paused Oversight Committee hearings the minute we started getting answers about the Epstein files. Now it’s “roundtables”: no rules, no oaths, no subpoenas. You do the math. Because the moment accountability shows up, they shut it down. The survivors deserve better.

At 33 points, Trump’s approval rating is official lower than his felony count.

Good night. May your chickens roost as well as mine.

BREAKING: YES! Decision Desk calls it.
