EVERYONE STOP EVERYTHING Mychal the Librarian is hosting the Reading Rainbow revival!!! reactormag.com/reading-rain...

Democrats from the senate down to city council / county officials should be right this minute on the ground in townhalls lending support and understanding and a way forward to farmers while explicitly putting the blame where it belongs.

Truly the age of little bosses everywhere.

Takeaway: Trump and Netanyahu have cobbled together a carve up of Gaza as a money-making exercise for American investors and if Hamas doesn’t accept those terms Israel will be free to take Gaza down to the dust.

The number of cancelations Disney saw in the week after suspending Kimmel was 436% above baseline subscriber churn.

It’s my decided opinion that rando wannabe pundit Thomas Chatterson Williams would barely make a ripple if everyone trying to get a dunk on him here just shut up instead.

The mental compartmentalization of how many blue collar conservatives love their trade union.

oh wow the thing everyone has been saying the whole time

Two alleged Iraq war veterans doing mass shootings this weekend. Christ.

Meanwhile in Michigan, it appears another white guy with an unknown grievance rammed and then burned down an (LDS) church, then shot and killed people. apnews.com/article/morm...

I love these little snapshots into human history. An intimate glimpse of how someone lived tens of thousands of years ago www.zmescience.com/science/arch...

Nobody liked that

“Move to Florida” is the new “forced me to go conservative.”

This is why I’m antitrust.

Blue cities should tear up the roads in front of ICE facilities and then start decades of community engagement and input sessions to rebuild them. Let's harness our core competencies.

Here's Horton on Merle Haggard www.welcometohellworld.com/life-is-a-pr...

I'd appreciate advice from people who survived Pinochet, or apartheid South Africa, or the West Bank right this minute, or being Black in the Jim Crow South, or Korea just months ago, or a million other examples of repression or triumph. I don't need another con-law guy saying "this is Bad!"

There’s a graph somewhere that tracks Chappell and Snoop and you can’t tell the data sets apart.

Okay but where are we on the (white) women who voted to protect abortion rights on the same ballot they voted for DJT? I’m not suggesting Klein is correct (he’s not) but I don’t think it’s as simple as synKlein or antiKlein would posit.

This final post from Kaleb Horton is very beautiful and hits hard. This is just so sad. RIP.

I spent the week at the police surveillance convention and let me tell you my biggest observation: The name of the game now is consolidating as much information as humanely possible from surveillance devices, the internet, other governmental data, and literally a million other places. 🧵

I understand what and who “matters,” but this challenge still brings up interesting implications for those who puff their chests and tell you the land is theirs because their family has lived on it going back several generations.

I really want the next generations of graduates in various fields to actually be able to think critically and think for themselves, based on scholarship and then applied experience. I don’t feel that’s too much to ask, much less expect.

brain too busy, make lists

“It strikes me most as it’s a nothingburger aside him enjoying that he can make them all do it and he’s going to unveil ridiculous new warfighter regs. But who knows (and “who knows” is part of the anxiety / problem).” bsky.app/profile/tren...

This activist's guitar was destroyed by ICE today. ICE fired multiple rounds of rubber bullets at us, and the guitar was struck. I am trying to raise $800 to help replace their instrument, which they rely on for gigs. I bet someone out here can straight up cover the cost. DM me.

Scoop: Trump lost the legal battle over halting the offshore Revolution Wind project after Orsted, its developer, brought reams of evidence to court alleging the government was lying about military security concerns. It’s a sign truth can empower companies Trump targets. Via @heatmap.news

Slipped into a 10:40pm email last night: USDA is “repurposing” $285 million to start a farmer assistance program 1 year earlier than Congress authorized. They don’t say where they are taking the money from — aka the program Congress actually wanted the $280 million to fund

This week, we're celebrating a holiday you really otter know about: #SeaOtterAwarenessWeek In their honor, please enjoy this tranquil footage of sea otters, floating, frolicking, and in general being otter-ly awesome. Learn more about our work to save them ➡️ bit.ly/48xOy8B

This is so brilliant. It's a concrete action with immediate benefits that can be performed incrementally

And here's the union statement on it

They’re gonna put all the confederate monuments back.

I had to jump off an event because it's been a looooong day and I had to get some dinner for my mom. I was just watching Chris Van Hollen on #inners with my mom and he said that authoritarianism is here and people have to stop saying that the U.S. is "approaching" it. It is here, he said.

I’m considering the ozempic fallout.

EOs and Memos are like shock troops — doing what a regime wants but the law can’t as yet. Anyone involved with anything this is trying to intimidate should take heed but also shouldn’t stop.

Not that any of it makes sense but this especially doesn’t make sense.

we're really living through something aren't we

What is the private equity monster gobbling up now? YouTube channels.

Hegseth’s summons could be anything from he wants his war-fighter ego fluffed to extortion for loyalty to clearing ranks to “what do we think lads, war?” That all seem equally possible is an issue for me.

This would kill me dead ☺️

I'm going to leave this here because I even see a lot of leftists regularly speaking about 'what the country wants' when in fact NO. MOST PEOPLE DID NOT VOTE FOR THIS MAN and LESS THAN 50% of people who voted actually voted for him.

“You can’t fix stuff with fear. Fear is like you take an antibiotic that’s really strong, that kills the bacteria, but it also kills the good bacteria. It kills everything and what they’re doing with their policies is killing everything."

I still dream about the tortilla sandwiches my host made me in Spain for when I’d go on long day trips.

I would like an aid package for creatives that did not vote for this recession creating admin but are still being forced to suffer the downturn effects.
