An exhibit on African American history in West Virginia has sat unfinished for years now. And now may be dying in the face of Trump. It’s one of many targets at our national parks. / wvpublic.org/story/arts-c...

Doctors 25% more likely to miss a diagnosis on a patient within 3 months after Ai is implemented. The results indicate Ai has an immediate negative effect on professionals skillsets vs prolonged reliance. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

The only reason they’d want to have the education of disabled kids overseen by a different department than that for abled kids is that they intend to stop educating disabled kids alongside abled ones, and perhaps stop educating them entirely. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/20/u...

As I wrote a couple weeks ago, states like MN are working to shore up those rights on the state level, but that I'll be surprised if we make it to 2028 with the ADA, IDEA, Olmstead, 504, etc. all intact. We might save some. We might mitigate the damage. It's a fight worth having.

The news you probably missed was the Trump Admin issuing a memo that they don't have to enforce Olmstead rights. Not that they won't, but that they don't have to. A first move. More to come.

That's the decision that enables a lot of disabled people to keep living in their communities instead of being warehoused in institutions. A first move to a eugenics genocide.

"The pedestrian/cyclist just came out of nowhere!" Babe, if you were doing 30mph, 30 seconds ago you were a quarter of a mile away - if anyone came out of nowhere, it's you.

Get on board. InfoWars launches July 2, 8 p.m. EST

This, especially planning for disabled residents trying to survive disasters.

The worst scandal in American history before Watergate, which happened over 100 years ago & is still taught in AP government classes, lead to a cabinet member's resignation & conviction, and caused Congress to pass new disclosure laws, involved less than 1/5 this much money. Inflation adjusted.

THIS is what I thought of, when I thought of Scotland and others could think only of beer (for me, Scotland’s more about Wm Younger’s No 3 ale than mere “beer”). Glad some Bostonians also received the Baptism of the Irn-Bru! mobileapp.bostonglobe.com/4XP2N4ZRTVGR...

11th century Lavra Monestary (built in 1051) set on fire as a result of Russian air raid this night. Also on fire was a section of Art Arsenal Building. Four victims on sites thus far.

I think we deserve this after the World Cup.

I've seen a lot of info for specialized audiences (e.g. scientists, non-profits) on how to comment on the proposed OMB rule change for grants, but less for the general public. So I made this one-pager that can be shared more widely. docs.google.com/document/d/e...

Is correlation causation? In this provocative article, we find that correlation is in fact correlated, and conclude that this means causation.

The good thing is the actual sway of public opinion in the UK is massively, *massively and overwhelmingly*, against the racist hooligans. They're a small minority here. The bad news is that various facts about our political system and media ecosystem may mean that fact doesn't matter.

In new reporting for @prospect.org, our @dylangyauchl.bsky.social details internal documents from Bay Area abundance groups pitch the movement to tech elites as a way to take control of Democratic politics and describe a 9-figure funding stream from billionaires. (1/2) prospect.org/2026/06/12/n...

Imagine a world where our local news was even a fraction as concerned about the safety of young bicyclists around drivers.

The purpose of “Abundance” is to find pro-housing/transit liberals who will never respond to overt conservative propaganda or manufactured NYT doomerism and trap them in political funhouse mirrors that convert every genuine desire for a better world into anti-labor politics in service of oligarchy.

What the Ellison family would own if Paramount buys Warner Bros: Paramount+ CBS CNN Showtime HBO Warner Bros TNT TBS MTV DC Studios Nickelodeon Comedy Central Cartoon Network And more... This is a rotten deal that the Trump regime has rubber stamped. State AGs must step in and block it.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents were given access to voter files in two counties in Texas and North Carolina, according to an Axios news report. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

By the way, Elon Musk didn't start Tesla. By the time he invested in Tesla, the original founders had already started building the Roadster THEY had designed. When he bought them out, he changed the history of the company to make himself a founder. I'm not joking. He's always been a fraud.

Needed this

Obviously, this is great to see, but it isn’t a surprise. The fascists were able to go on their racist rampage not because their community broadly wanted it, but because a small minority called “police” allowed it.

Pride events make me anxious, because as a power wheelchair user, I feel like I don’t really belong in those spaces that I long to be in. sooooo, when you go to Pride events this month, look at how many power wheelchair users are there, or anyone with mobility aids. The answer is not enough.

States can (and should) simply prohibit grocery stores from implementing dynamic pricing by making it a felony.

I always like to point out as well that e-bikes make biking more accessible for many disabled folks as well. My body is not always reliable and the e-assist gives me the peace of mind that I will be able to get to where I’m going and back.

So in addition to ending extreme poverty globally by 2030, we could have ended HIV in the U.S. by that same year. Americans cannot seem to sustain political will these days. www.politico.com/news/magazin...

SpaceX, the largest IPO of all time, encompasses Grok… a product that *still* generates non-consensual, explicit images and videos of women according to a new @wired.com investigation:

How many Republican #Grifters were given insider info that this would happen, so that could make profitable advance trades on commodities markets? Is it because of such insider trading that GOP pols in the Senate and House sit on their hands will Trump destroys our country?

So much of what’s wrong in the U.S. can be traced to corporations having more legal and legally enforced obligations toward investors than to workers, consumers, or the public. It’s such a short-sighted way to run an economy.

The escalation of ICE tactics in Baltimore, including staging outside of schools and now apprehending people on school property, is wholly unacceptable. Our thoughts are with the people now in ICE custody, and the little ones who had to witness this disturbing incident.

Mark Zuckerberg’s $300 MILLION yacht arrived in Seattle the same day Meta cut 1,400 jobs—part of a larger round of 14,000 job cuts. Nothing says our economy is broken like billionaires sailing around on yachts while workers are left out to dry.

The only sad things about the arrival of the Tartan Army 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿: 1) They do not make house calls; 2) they did not bring me a lifetime supply of Wm Younger’s No. 3 ale; and 2) they are not here to take over the U.S. federal government, and are unlikely to do so no matter how we beg them.

Tremont Street used to be one of Boston's most dangerous roads for pedestrians. After a major redesign, the South End corridor now features protected bike lanes, safer crosswalks, ADA upgrades, and fewer travel lanes to help calm traffic.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Donald Trump's failed policies hurt our economy. He is attacking everything & everyone except the affordability crisis. And the recent inflation surge is proof of that.
