Deadly fogs, moralistic diatribes, debunked medical theory — in his essay “Bad Air” Brett Beasley explores The Doom of the Great City (1880), a piece of Victorian science fiction considered to be the first modern tale of urban apocalypse: publicdomainreview.org/essay/b...

thou furnace of foul reeking smoke!

🔨 🔥 The time to rise has been engaged… “Finest Worksong” was released as a single in the UK on April 18, 1988. The video was directed by our very own @michaelstipe.bsky.social

Winning campaign slogan here if anyone wants it.

Balint: "If President Biden or President Obama had said anything remotely like this, it would be nonstop coverage on every single channel and everyone on the other side of the aisle would be howling about it and demanding that they step down."

She can't even look at them. She knows what she's done, and hopefully the survivors will ultimately have justice.

Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers. This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

I cannot imagine the devastation this family is experiencing today. This statement is powerful and must be read.

No. We don’t need to “modify ICE training.” We need to close DHS. Dismantle it. It’s an outdated expensive bureaucracy that’s been usurped by violent white supremacists. Shut it down.

Adding my small voice to the tributes. I took these photos at RFK stadium, June 1989. Bobby and his cutoff shorts 💔

Reminder of who the real threat was, and who the threat has never been. Maybe today should be a day of atonement.

"Raul" is working in the sweet potatoes in Merced County. "It’s very tiring. I need to be up at 2:30am to get to work at 3:30. My wife & I leave our kids with a babysitter and rushed to the fields. But it's important we do the work as it feeds our family." #WeFeedYou

A beautiful Bald Eagle circled overhead during our protest in Burnsville Minnesota and the crowd went wild #NoKings #Minnesota

No Kings in my deeply red WV district. Honks of support outweighed middle fingers by 10:1 which gives me hope.

#OnThisDay in 1849, Edgar Allan Poe passed away under mysterious circumstances. Of all the artists who gave life to Poe's macabre tales over the years, perhaps none captured them quite so brilliantly as the Irish artist Harry Clarke: publicdomainreview.org/collection/h... #OTD #EdgarAllanPoe

Welcome to Trump’s America, where they fire Karen Attiah and Matthew Dowd for pointing out Charlie Kirk’s right-wing extremism and applaud Brian Kilmeade for suggesting we murder the homeless.

Wisconsin's 2025 wolf monitoring report estimates 1,226 gray wolves in 336 packs, a decline from the past two years that underscores the importance of continued protections under the ESA. Their recovery is not guaranteed and depends on strong protections and public support. Read more: bit.ly/4n6HkNA

Historically, SCOTUS has been known for its formal briefs, oral arguments and detailed written opinions, all full of legal reasoning. However, every action SCOTUS has taken in Trump-related cases this year has instead been through its emergency — or “shadow” — docket, and federal judges are fed up.

🚨Johnny Noviello, a 49-year-old Canadian citizen and longtime U.S. resident, died in ICE custody in Florida while awaiting deportation over past drug convictions. His death spotlights rising concerns over detention conditions. open.substack.com/pub/theintel...

Jesus. Pam Bondi just purported to replace the DC police chief and revoke guidance from earlier today that instructed police to continue to comply with DC’s sanctuary laws — laws duly passed by our city council, elected by our voters. Even more radical than we’d feared.

Resist the lies & gaslighting. "In the end the Party would announce that two and two made five, and you would have to believe it. It was inevitable that they should make that claim sooner or later: the logic of their position demanded it...The heresy of heresies was common sense." George Orwell 1984

The federal government is giving ICE direct access to all of our Medicaid data with incredibly thin protections — all to facilitate their cruel anti-immigrant agenda. We cannot let President Trump's mass deportation campaign take precedent over our privacy and health care.

This brilliant man

LOOK AT THIS: A French mural now shows Lady Liberty burying her face in disgust—unveiled the day before America’s fireworks start. When the country that literally gave us the Statue of Liberty starts airing us out publicly, you know the rot’s too deep. We are the embarrassment.

Another remarkable view down 5th Avenue. Tens of thousands united in saying no to Trump, no to ICE, no to fascism and #NoKings. (🎥 Unheard Voices)

They call immigrants "freeloaders" while attacking them in their workplaces

On May 2nd, in Western NY, federal immigration agents stopped a bus of farm workers from Lynn-Ette & Sons Farms. They had a list of names, including UFW worker leaders who have been organizing to unionize their workplace. Those workers were detained. 1/ #WeFeedYou
