Amazon Web Services experienced DNS resolution issues on Monday morning, taking down wide swaths of the web—and highlighting a long-standing weakness in the internet's infrastructure.

and one vote for Mamdani is on the books

I haven’t seen anyone talk about how Jane Doe - an Epstein survivor - just sued the Bank of New York Mellon for funding Epstein and failing to file a Suspicious Activity Report. A Mellon heir is the one who gave $130M to pay the troops. Seems bribey to me.

Those shades of blue are gorgeous

A man who sent a Facebook message that said, "So I raped you," to a woman he later pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting on a Pennsylvania college campus is sentenced to two to four years in prison.

Stop acting like humanitarian aid isn’t being provided by the people who created the problem in the first place. Because the UN is absolutely responsible for the situation, it’s claiming to solve with the humanitarian aid that it brings. And don’t get me started on their colonial education system.

This is one of my favorite pictures from yesterday, Governor Pritzker with the protesters... #NoKings

Prime example of white privilege in plain sight. Black kids get called adults to justify blame, while white adults get called “kids” to excuse their hate. They’re not boys and girls, they’re grown-ass men and women, and the receipts are in writing.

Life’s been moving. I’ve been flowing with it. 🫶🏾 Happy October. 🤗

Her spine surgery was denied. Doctors say it's all too common.

Trump is sending ICE to blue cities to enact the "largest mass deportation program in history" and Chicago is at the top of the list. I'm calling for every Democratic leader and candidate to stand against ICE, to call for its abolition, and to materially support immigrants. Inaction is complicity.

Senator Mike Lee pretended he was on the phone to avoid being confronted by @smith.senate.gov after he mocked assassination victims this weekend. She made sure he heard what she had to say.

1st strawberry of the season. 🥰 it was delicious

currency of the realm in republican politics is a blithe contempt for life and indifference to suffering

NEW: Judge Hannah Dugan files a blistering motion to dismiss the baseless charges against her. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/in-defense...

Sudan is convulsed by violence. Two warring generals accused of war crimes, incl targeting civilians, bombing villages, obstructing food Tens of thousands killed, 13 M fleeing- 5.6 million in Darfur alone. UN labels it world’s worst humanitarian crisis. www.arabnews.com/node/2600854...

Daily Reminder: Social Security is OUR money!

That is in fact what this administration has done.

Grok ratted out Musk’s interference with its programming the only way it could: by making it clear something was very wrong.

Here they go.

How she started prom vs. How I picked her up 😂💜🥰 jr prom was a success!!!

NBC News is tracking changes in the prices of eggs, bread, ground beef, chicken and other grocery items to monitor the impact on consumers’ food bills.

Yes, @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social … YES

This part

AOC: We need to be talking about ICE agents and the cowardly policy of covering their faces — and, in many cases, their identification… The idea that we’re going to allow a paramilitary force to bloom, one that isn’t accountable to the Constitution… we’ve got another thing coming.

To us motherless humans, may today still bring you all the smiles and love she gave you while she was here. I’m about to roll up and smoke a nice joint in my mom’s memory. It’s what she would be doing rn.

And there you have it.

The Public Broadcasting Act of 1967 created the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. I reread it today; nothing in the law allows a president to defund PBS and NPR. In fact, Congress specifically sought to insulate public media from political pressure.

The Republicans aren’t listening to anybody but Trump. They know how detrimental these cuts will be to their constituents but instead of developing a backbone, standing up to Trump, & doing what’s right—they’re too scared, too spineless, & too sold out to fight for the folks they represent.

if you like duolingo & want them to keep employing humans please tell them @duolingoverde.bsky.social

Dear god let this man cook.

Another day, another Trump executive order—this time, it’s a full-blown attack on education: 
• Rolling back protections against unfair school punishments for Black & Brown kids
• Threatening DEI in higher ed
• Targeting foreign funding
• Floating vague concepts of a plan for HBCUs

my endorsement for any democratic presidential candidate who promises to send the entire DOGE team to prison

He’s so good at this.

So my dog and cat don’t actually like one another 😭😂 5 years in and they still go to separate rooms. It’s comical really and I love it. 🤣

Happy Earth Day!!!! Also Happy Birthday to my cat that’s 6 today and my dog that’s 5. I didn’t plan it that way but I learned not to question divine things. 🫶🏾

made a thing. earth day & every day thank nature

Uh fuck no???

Two headlines in the New York Times today.

Waffles are #RecipeOfTheDay! They’re my idea of the perfect Bank Holiday late breakfast – or anytime – treat www.nigella.com/recipes/waff...

Portland, Maine reporting in!

Personally, I think it should be front page news for at least a month if a sitting US President is using falsified evidence to try and deny due process to a man who has committed no crime, but that’s just me

The Dallas ICE office is involved in a mass removal effort targeting nearly 200 people — many without removal orders — scheduled to be deported to El Salvador today. This is not just cruel – it is lawless. I refuse to stay quiet while families are being torn apart, and lives are being put at risk.

BREAKING: A court ruled that our case challenging Rümeysa Öztürk's unlawful detention should move forward in Vermont, instead of Louisiana, and that ICE must transfer her there. Nobody should be shipped to a detention facility halfway across the country for writing an op-ed.

Guys, this is David Brooks in the NY Times. If it's like this 90 days into this presidency with people who wouldn't be caught dead saying it last year, imagine it in two years. Something good is happening, we just have to lift everybody up so they can see it. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/17/o...
