All these papaws killed on the beaches of Normandy are rolling in their graves fast enough to charge a swasticar.

In 2024, I wrote a story for Texas Monthly about Michelle Haas, whose complaints resulted in the removal of books about slavery from historic Texas slave plantations. Haas sued us, alleging defamation, and was represented by the preferred lawyer of billionaire J.P. Bryan. Today, we won on appeal.

Look at this little chicken nugget! 🥹

79. American citizen.

800 detainees are missing after being held in Alligator Alcatraz in July, showing no record of their location in ICE’s database. Other detainees have been mistakenly deported or sent to detention centers thousands of miles away. The cruelty is the point.

Did you have any idea how beautiful turmeric blooms were!? Because I certainly didn’t! This beauty’s getting a pot (and so many more turmerics are going in the flower beds next spring!) #plants #gardening #food #flowers

This cat curls up into a full circle. #cat #catday #bluesky

If they have nothing to hide they have nothing to fear… 📌 California lawmakers just passed SB 627, the “No Secret Police Act,” which would make it illegal for law enforcement to hide their identities while on duty in the state.

“Oh but politics shouldn’t matter in friendships” Yes it should. Because I can’t be your friend if you sympathise with those who don’t see my people as human beings worthy of existence.

Just maybe remember Melissa Hortman🙏, her husband Mark🙏, & their dog Gilbert🙏, along with John Hoffman who survived. They didn't get nearly the press I'm sure this will, no matter the outcome.

i’m not going to be lectured about political violence by people whose politics is violence

Ouch. #GOP

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone. Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care. The system is broken.

Possibly the funniest thing you'll see all day:

Thanks to my great agent very happy to have been a part of this lawsuit www.nytimes.com/2025/09/05/t...

Caturday cuteness

“So, the rise of these industrial-scale computing facilities that are needed for A.I. and other Internet applications is certainly one of the factors driving up prices.” “And I think there’s a chance that A.I. is going to drive our bills even higher in the future.”

NEW: A federal judge ordered an Arkansas school district to take down Ten Commandments displays in its classrooms following our lawsuit.

If Ashli Babbitt's parents really wanted to avenge her death they would, instead of pitifully whitewashing her legacy, be suing Fox News for filling their child's gullible head with dangerous nonsense that directly led to her death.

It’s human trafficking.

Two children were killed, and 18 children between the ages 6 and 15 were injured by a shooter. Middle schoolers acted heroically to protect others, a parent said.

Fuck ICE.

its been like a week since we found out meta was encouraging sexual discussions between its chatbot and children and now we learn openai encouraged and helped plan suicide and no one is doing anything about it

Interesting! Sunlight breaking the rock. -credits: joemyheck

i find this image so fascinating. it is both a literal example of authoritarianism but also a second-hand reproduction of the aesthetics of other authoritarian states. it's like a simulacra of authoritarianism whose purpose is to attempt to make the simulacra real.

Sending military troops to police civilians undermines public trust, puts soldiers in legal and ethical jeopardy, and puts all of us at risk. If you’ve ever served in the military, join us and @commondefense.bsky.social to send a message to the Defense Department: No troops in our communities.

The most lethal military machine in human history

What did it, Iowa? Masked thugs in our cities, rising self-inflicted inflation, nonsensical tariffs, blatant capitulation to Putin, the daily assaults on our constitution or covering for pedophiles?

What you missed overnight night.🥳 Utah's gerrymandered congressional map was struck down. The judge reinstated the citizen-led redistricting reforms voters approved in 2018. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

It’s my opinion that humanitarian and musical genius Dolly Parton (as well as Chef José Andrés) deserves the Nobel Peace Prize. tucson.com/life-enterta...

Thank you for fighting for us @marcelias.bsky.social From the very bottom of my heart: thank you.

His fears are correct.

A federal judge in Miami gave the state of Florida 60 days to clear out the immigrant detention facility called Alligator Alcatraz, handing environmentalists and the Miccosukee Tribe of Indians a win after they clashed with Gov. Ron DeSantis over the environmental impacts

The lack of self-awareness @gavinnewsom.bsky.social has baited them into is incredible. This is easily the funniest thing Hannity has ever said.

Spectacular.

Nostalgia is a toxic impulse but also I miss the time when tech trends were things like "let's put everything in a translucent colored plastic case" instead of "let's add software to everything that lies and also accelerates climate change"

A federal judge has blocked the display of the 10 Commandments in districts where we, as parents, have sued. Protecting children from religious indoctrination in public schools should not depend on their parents’ ability to afford a lawyer. I’m relieved for my kids and disgusted by my state.

"Party of small government." Hello? This is what authoritarianism looks like. www.cnn.com/2025/08/19/p...

There is no moral equivalence between bullies and the bullied, between tyranny and democracy, or between brutality and decency. No individual can be free in a society devoid of justice. There can be no liberty where brutality reigns.
