Would we see Lincoln as a more powerful leader if he'd sent dick daguerrotypes to Harriet Beecher Stowe?

I can share, but cannot like.

The garden duckling situation is becoming passive-aggressive.

I assimilated all the way to Congress and this idiot still tells me to go back where I came from.

My latest for @thenation.com. Russell Vought is on a mission. He wants to take over all federal grant making & re-make it in his image. He is a dangerous ideologue who wants to inflict trauma on the whole nation. He is cruel and he has a plan. Only we can stop him. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Really important article from @drjudystone.bsky.social, describing some of the very serious problems with the proposed OMB rule that would put political appointees in charge of federal grant funding.

TikTok's latest illegal 'life hack' seems to be 'dispute credit card transactions for free stuff' and legality aside I am here to beg you: Do not do this to small businesses. It really fucks them over in ways you may not be aware of beyond stealing from them (which is, to be clear, what this is).🧵

The real thing that is happening to you is immigrants living in your neighborhood and shopping at your grocery store, but that's the same thing that's happening to me! If I have to imagine something different and worse to understand how you feel about actual reality, then which one of us is wrong?

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...

Doomerism achieves nothing in the practitioner's favour. I want things to be better at least partly for my own sake, so I might be called a "mercenary-optimist".

When we win, the first bill I’m filing is a comprehensive anti-corruption package: Overturn Citizens United Ban corporate PACs and super PACs Ban members of Congress from trading stocks Once we defeat the most corrupt politician in America, we can defeat this entire corrupt system.

I just sent this out to Democracy Docket premium members, but in light of the Postmasters comments this morning threatening voting by mail, I felt it is urgent to post it online for everyone. Please read and share. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/mail...

We want to build a society where we can tell crappy politicians, no matter their race, gender, religion, national origin, sexual preference or identity that they suck.

The Superhero Academy officer looked from form to applicant. "You can predict when a cream pie will hit you?" "In two minutes." "OK. Wait in the next room." The officer looked at the next applicant. "You a mimic? You look just like-" "My twin." "Ah. Says here you can materialise cream pies?"

From @lizdye.bsky.social: where we're at, with the regime's ongoing attempts to restrict the vote solely to those they expect to vote for them. P.S. Revealing pic of Harmeet Dhillon, innit? She, like Miller and Vought, is one of the quiet ones, working mostly behind the scenes to destroy democracy.

Yes, histories at 250 are different, and largely because of research that broadened the aperture for academic and public history alike. That's good news in a year that can use some! Jane Kamensky wraps up by describing the energy in fresh approaches at Monticello. 🎁 www.nytimes.com/2026/06/22/m...

Picked up this _amazing_ used Kanji book for $4 today, and it is just about the greatest thing ever. The pictographs are so charming. Here are 4 random ones. I _just might_ only post these from now on.

I went questing to see if there were any new stories on the fertilizer shortage and likely famine, and found Forbes. I used up my free articles for the month reading this. www.forbes.com/sites/george...

Yes I saw a bunch of supercars in Chicago, but I think this Volvo of Theseus was my favorite

Look I went to the Democratic caucus in Pueblo, Colorado this year--a party faithful event that is so arcane that people don't even know it happens and exists. These ARE the people who knock doors. These are the volunteers. Anyway, so many of them were upset with the Democratic Party.

OK, people. It takes 2 minutes to write a letter to Congress, a few extra if you personalize it. Russ Vought's attempt to take over ALL federal grant funding is anti-democratic and dangerous. We need MORE letters. Let's tip it over 2000 today. actionnetwork.org/letters/oppo...

A community in Georgia was able to prevent the creation of a massive ICE detention warehouse in their town. When we raise our voices, we have the power to effect meaningful change.

I really, really doubt Trump knows more about fossil fuel policy than who's been nice to him. Or any other policy.

I know this is serious and a genuine issue, but could we please have fewer problems that sound like a fantasy novel? "Our ancestors dug too deep and now we suffer for their sins".

Less than a decade ago, Russia was the world’s number one oil producer — ahead of the US and Saudi Arabia.🤯

Hot take but they should be using the system Taxis have used since time immemorial; "Fuck you you got to your destination alive and that's all you paid for. what the hell is a review?" We need to bring back shitty service at affordable prices.

This is also true for making stories, with the addition of "How to fill in the middle."

Repost from this morning - I have a decent laptop bookmarked, but I need to be able to cover that and July rent. So, on we go. Plenty of pendants in stock!

While world media will talk about the scorching heat in Europe,extraordinary heat waves will sweep several parts of the world CENTRAL ASIA will see deadly heat up to 47/48C in the former USSR with NIGHTS at 35C. ARCTICS will experience up to 35C and tropical nights near 70 lat!
