The rural hospital crisis is killing people and rapidly escalating. The Republican cuts to Medicaid are basically going to be the end of hospital services in the rural US.

Inventing the air conditioner Make it a 100 fucking pounds. No, no center mass to it at all somehow. Throw some fuckin…accordion arms on it that flap out and catch on everything when you’re carrying it up from the basement. And let me get 50 razor blades on the back of it too.

Go for it. I don't even care any more.

I’m on Amtrak and the conductor just made the best quiet car announcement I’ve heard yet: “This is the quiet car. If you’re going to feel some kind of way when people shush you, then you should not sit in the quiet car.”

Happy Arrival Day to Sun Ra

NOT NOW, RADIOACTIVE MUTANT SUPER PIGS.

Would love to know what editorial processes over at BBC news allowed publication of an article describing sexual assault and rape as "an accident"

I just wrote a @theactionnetwork.bsky.social letter: Free Salah Sarsour from ICE detention!. Write one here: actionnetwork.org/letters/free...

I say without hyperbole that this is the most brazenly corrupt action in US Presidential history. That it does not immediately lead to impeachment is a dangerous sign of how far the rule of law has declined.

What is to stop Trump from, say, suing the Department of Education next and demanding another 1 Billion dollars for his supporters? What is to stop those supporters from taking half their money and putting it in Trump crypto? He has stolen over a billion dollars in broad daylight.

Somehow Trump's blatant, breathtakingly over-the-top, corruption is underappreciated. It is unreal to think this goes on before our very eyes. There has never been anything like it in American history. He is looting the country in plain sight.

i’ve never met a squirrel I didn’t want to start a business with

The only characteristic of Trump that I find personally relatable is his extreme contempt for evangelicals that support Trump

My child has asked to be taken to the Three Colors Trilogy today. We will see how it goes.

Joe: I am a 73 year-old retired mechanic in Forsberg, Nebraska. My 3 biggest problems are Iran's uranium enrichment capability, the casting of Helen in Christopher Nolan's "Odyssey," and the ability of Tennesseeans to check out "Roots" from a library 1000 media outlets: can we please talk at length

we’ve strayed so far from god’s light

Regular reminder: there are two minyanim's worth of people in 🇺🇸 who can literally end everything about the lawless authoritarianism tomorrow, & they are all Republicans in Congress, & they get free passes daily from the press & everyone else, while we all yell at Democrats. bsky.app/profile/mcop...

Aleshea Harris’ IS GOD IS is a must-see. Not since The Boondocks’ “The Trial of R. Kelly” have I seen a fierce spin on genre to dismantle misogynoir and expose the Black women and men who enable abusive behavior. Kara Young & Mallori Johnson, WOW! My review: www.rendyreviews.com/movie-review...

“We can’t effectively teach or do research if we are afraid of ICE coming onto campus and our colleagues being deported.”

My favorite YouTube channel is currently Casual Geographic.

The Roberts Court, the Trump White House, and the national GOP are acting like this is their one big shot. Either they secure the lasting end of US Constitutional democracy, or they’re in very serious trouble from the backlash. And they’ve already gone so far that there’s no other possibility.

This was the sandwich and the article

Massachusetts has the oldest prison population in the US, so this is already playing out in hospices (not hospitals) in our prison, where the sickest incarcerated people are tended by fellow prisoners. Elder and medical parole is a path out! Learn more: plsma.org/wp-content/u... #mapoli

You know, I am starting to suspect that this supreme court may not be entirely on the up and up.

Puerto Rico’s pro-annexation party lives on corruption.

the best thing about living in a bog is the 24hr news channel only talks about cranberries

I finally visited Ripped Bodice, the incredible romance bookstore in Brooklyn, and it was a feast for the eyes and mind, but this sign especially 🌷💃🏼👩‍❤️‍💋‍👩🌸🧞‍♀️💘🧚🏾‍♀️

“The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass relates only his own views on slavery; we cannot properly assess the merits of his book without giving equal time to his slave owner.” (I’m pretty sure there were actual reviews like this in 1845.)

Fresco painters:

Great read from @dharna.bsky.social on the expansive vision putting decarbonization at the heart of breaking free from fossil fuel tyranny, reducing inequality & living well‼️ Terrific to see this ambitious vision for a "Stop Greed, build Green" working class climate agenda‼️

Nolan is being so disrespectful to Homer who obviously cared a lot about historical accuracy and had many peer reviewed works. Most people don’t know but the Iliad was his dissertation and he wrote the Odyssey to get tenure.

these are the guys who you might've heard are behind some of the foreign policy foible with the middle east and especially iran because their pistacho fortunes would be at risk if Iran could export theirs here.

ICE's abduction vehicles will be evicted from the garage at Pier 40 on July 1 and will need to go somewhere that day. RAR is teaming up with Chelsea Neighbors United and Hands Off NYC to put parking companies on notice: NO CONTRACTS WITH ICE! NO PARKING FOR ICE - ANYTIME ANYWHERE.
