Cooling centers should be open all night. The defining and deadly characteristic of a heat wave is that it doesn't cool down overnight. This is what gradually cooks the organs of the most vulnerable people.

Hey @governorwalz.mn.gov, Gov Whitmer et al: from here on the ground we cannot tell who was sent here for 250 and who wasn’t, they are all just occupying forces

BREAKING: More than 100 Venezuelans who were deported from the U.S. hours before the earthquakes are missing after their hotel collapsed.

👋🏽👋🏽👋🏽 Black woman journo here who has covered multiple Grand Slams, including an ESPN Magazine cover story on Naomi Osaka and many pieces on the Williams sisters: I am available for commissions on Serena and Wimbledon! I was there for her final US Open match. I ask great questions!

Your regular reminder that there's a profession where the employees are so violent, so untrustworthy, that they are required by law to have personal video supervision every time they interact with the general public, just so there is any sort of factual record of what occurs.

WASHINGTON DC! HEATWAVE INCOMING! Check on your unhoused neighbors, offer them cooling supplies, & know the signs of heat related illness. Give folks: • cold/frozen water • electrolytes • cash, gift cards, metro cards • fans & batteries • cooling towels • sunscreen • hats • umbrellas 1/5

I'm surprised at how few people outside of DC are aware that Trump not only sent the National Guard into DC, but recently doubled the number and expanded their presence throughout the city into quiet neighborhoods where they patrol the streets á la a military occupation. It both shocks and appals.

Yes, it’s all Calvinball

I assigned random gender/ethnicity labels to scientific abstracts from the literature and then asked Claude to do a thematic analysis. Claude identified a clinical versus computational split for female/male authors and a DEI focus for Black/URM authors. All in completely random data.

Looks like Robin DG Kelley started a newsletter. Putting that in my rss reader. robindgkelley.substack.com/p/on-tricia-...

I’m at my mom’s house, checking in on her. I took a walk and saw two trans inclusive Pride flags on her block here in Biddeford, ME. It’s hard to be far from friends tonight on Pride, but it helped to learn community is near—just one of the ways these flags work. Thanks to everyone who flies them.

None. Because wealth derives now entirely from predation, not production, so actual journalism inherently threatens it.

I know the list is endless but I genuinely think trashing the legitimate congressionally chartered org for celebrating the 250th to instead hijack our national assets and taxpayer funds for his personality cult grifter crap should, in and of itself, be fully sufficient to merit removal from office.

I've come around to deciding that it's actually good that they keep asking Zohran this question because it clarifies to the listener that a Jewish state and a state of all its citizens are not compatible and the people asking the question are implicitly acknowledging that they know that.

Some pertinent reading for anyone outraged by what happened to Pete Buttigieg and his family:

I’m coming to welcome these kinds of public statements from the Democratic establishment. Helps puncture any idea they’ll ever deliver what the progressive base wants.

Had to go in & reinitiate the pause on my recurring donation to @propublica.org yesterday because i genuinely did not expect them to take this long to provide a fair wage to their workers, the @propublicaguild.org, & quite frankly i was deeply disappointed in having to do it. Like… what is going on?

The European heatwave of 2003 killed an estimated 70,000 people en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2003_Eu...

young organizers, some of you have to be able to celebrate actual wins or you will not be organizing for long.

Darializa only came out of nowhere if you didnt know her as one of Zohran's primary Washington Heights field leads. AOC only came out of nowhere if you didnt know her as one of Bernie's primary Bronx field leads. Will journalists start respecting field leads? Probably not!

Even the pope wants you to finish that screenplay

when you read about "christian adoptions" from haiti a lot becomes clear here honestly

Me too genuinely perplexed by the discourse. The alternative to air conditioning is leaving people to die, the most vulnerable first. I don’t understand what there is to talk about and I especially don’t understand the way the anti-AC position postures as the morally righteous one.

Robin D.G. Kelley recommends three books every radical should read

This guy pitching the same “democrats must move right” idea over and over again after the one time it worked in 1992 reminds me of my dog dragging me to the same storm drain on our walk every morning because he once saw a dead pigeon there and tried to eat in it.

Two ICE agents tracked down a woman *inside a polling place* yesterday. Why? They demanded that she take down an Instagram post in which she named Jonathan Ross as the man who shot & killed Renee Good (after the Star Tribune identified Ross). www.syracuse.com/news/2026/06...

it’s really funny to contrast this with the wild shit centrist dems are saying about Zohran right now

This was the entire NYC DSA contingent during Occupy Wall Street in 2011. 15 years later, DSA has the mayor, five members of Congress, and almost 20 members on the state and local level. The world changes quickly.

Wow they’re really scared huh?

Call your Senators and tell them to vote no on the CLARITY Act or any other crypto bill that fails to restore CFPB's funding. www.senate.gov/senators/sen...

People also love to say defund the police was a failure because every city in the country did not immediately cut police budgets. Social movement outcomes have a long time horizon and may not always show up in the exact demands the movement made

1994–Tiny org goes to N Idaho to help to fight a statewide anti gay ballot referendum. Grassroots organizing. Threw parties. Gave out Hershey's Kisses at the County Fair + a card "You've been kissed by a lesbian." Mega canvassing. Our 3 counties made the difference. We won! Talking w/folks works!

Eliza, 21, planned to study computer science. But after her parents were abducted by ICE, she dropped out of college in order to take over the family’s landscaping business. “She used to be a lot more talkative,” she says about her youngest sister. “I feel like we’re all quiet now.”

Genuinely so important we not let Bernie make it our problem

DSA election night party ends with Seeger’s “Solidarity Forever,” which attendees continue singing acapella after the music ends. Many continue mingling, much of the conversation being astonishment and unrepentant joy.

Indirect social movement outcomes!

Great night to lift up Melat Kiros, who is gonna be a fantastic and fearless fighter in Congress. Her primary is in a week. I'm donating right now and you should too. secure.actblue.com/donate/jd-me...

went down to the centrist convention. they’re all shaking and crying, I heard one guy say “I’m starting to think a better world IS possible.” the lady next to him slapped him in the face
