The Overseer Class is now available wherever books are sold. To every soul who helped me write it, to every soul who pre-ordered, to every soul who *will* read and share it, to every soul who stands together in solidarity in these times, “all of us, hand in hand,” THANK YOU 🙏🏾❤️

ICE really enjoys killing people.

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo and Johan Sebastián came here to achieve the American Dream. They are now the 10th and 11th people to be shot dead by mass deportation agents since the start of the Trump admin. These agents have faced zero accountability and remain in their jobs, endangering us all.

ICE is a menace to democracy and its murderous conduct should be soberly considered. But we should also recognize that these people are weak and sad and ought to be made fun of. Read more: www.theverge.com/policy/96430...

Lots of talk about Lindsey Graham this week but here’s an obit worthy of our attention. A life of service vs Lindsey’s life of self serving. chicago.suntimes.com/obituaries/2...

His name was Joan Sebastian Guerrero. Reports say his wife and 3 year old daughter watched him die.

i will say lindsey graham being asked by a reporter how mitch mcconnell is doing, answering “i don’t know, i’m going to check right now” and then dying is hilarious

I sincerely hope Ana Kasperian never has to experience SA for her to develop empathy towards survivors/victims of SA. I hope she never has to experience people screaming they don't believe her because she didn't do things exactly the way they think she should have, that she wasn't a perfect victim!

If ICE can kill anyone it wants with impunity, then none of us have any meaningful rights. It’s that simple.

If anyone in your life is trying to defend Platner's actions by drawing attention to Politico leaving out the text messages, in which the victim clearly stated she was not inviting Platner over, you need to reassess why you're keeping that person in your life. She said no. END! OF! STORY!

I hate that we're still having these conversations. Everyone processes traumatic events differently, uses different words to describe the event, may get details out of order or miss them all together. And FFS most of us don't ever tell the cops.

I just submitted my formal comment on the disastrous proposal to transform essentially all U.S. federal grantmaking--affecting every sector of American science, technology, education, & health--into an overtly partisan political process. Full text here: weatherwest.com/wp-c...

🤔 "They don't have the audio tapes that they imply they have." is not the same as saying those conversations never happened so there's no way they could have any audio tapes of them. Instead he's acknowledging the audio could exist, but doesn't think they're capable of getting access.

"While the Violence Against Women Act prohibits states from directly charging for a rape kit, they are allowed to charge for anything not directly related to the exam—like STI testing or pregnancy testing ... 86% of women with private insurance will pay out of pocket for their sexual assault care."

I love when doctors say "avoid stress" like I can just unsubscribe from economy and become a decorative gargoyle

Perhaps this will help, Trish. I built this 13 years ago for the Orange County Register.

My latest novel is published in paperback on July 2nd. If you pre-order from Blackwell's they'll send it with FREE international delivery & that will help the book get into shops. I'll also be signing EVERY ONE of these: blackwells.co.uk/bookshop/pro...

6. $300B in reparations, 7. removal of all sanctions, 8. unfreezing all assets Iran is getting far more than $300B according to this document, assuming this is a legitimate copy.

Congratulations to Elon on becoming the world’s first trillionaire from London 🔥

I can feel my own brain cells wither every time they are forced to ponder how this guy could be so stupid yet manage to keep himself alive for almost 80 years.

Real stable genius level conversations happening over at Fox these days. While the lunatic-in-chief is parsing words, the language he insists be used in his supposed deal would allow Iran to trade, barter, or be gifted nuclear weapons.

They’re trying to build a data center next to the Nashville Zoo Petition here, if you’re so inclined: c.org/KxhXznzBcD

I had no idea I'd be using my GCSE Latin to work on the @transunityquilt.bsky.social, but that's two patches translated so far for alt text labelling. Still looking for someone who can read Hebrew if you have 2 minutes to spare?!

It’s a pretty weird week when a guy who wants to be a trillionaire is simultaneously getting headlines for the economy-shattering IPO expected Friday and the racist pogroms he is accused of stoking — but these stories are viewed as separate and in no way connected or prescient of the future.

A PhD student at Stanford noticed her classmates were asking Al to write their breakup texts. So she ran a study. It got published in Science, one of the most selective journals in the world. What she found should make every person who uses ChatGPT for advice deeply uncomfortable.

From me: The return of the New World screwworm to America for the first time since 1966 is a reminder that government actually does important things, no matter how much its functions are demonized by know-nothings. prospect.org/2026/06/09/w...

Tavares Strachan is one of the leading conceptual artists working today, and his first monograph, out this month from Phaidon, peers into decades of his encyclopedic practice. www.thisiscolossal.com/2026/06/tava...

The idea that he tells an interviewer it's their job to give the president a list of Americans held prisoner in Iran and not the State Department's job is fracking wild. He has no idea, and doesn't care, that he's supposed to be serving the American people.

I love this story by @premeemohamed.com. A flash piece that encompasses over a thousand years and feels so full of both life and death. www.3lobedmag.com/issue46/3lbe...

My dad's and partner's faiths are on the excluded list. Both served honorably, yet after all the injuries from our government, Trump's DoD insists on adding insults to their injuries. Kinda glad my dad isn't alive to see this crap.

Not everyone's intrusive thoughts are the same. Some intrusive thoughts are housed in the brains of adrenaline junkies. LoL But for real, don't do this.

My current state is deep red. Coffee went up 100%, ground beef is $8/lb, milk is $6/gal., gas is $4+ a gallon. Wages are stagnant. F*ck this smug pr*ick and his BS!

Happy Flytrap Tuesday! We are delighted to publish @judysquirrels.bsky.social on the Film Discourse on social media, and how it results in viewers evading the film they are watching for moral reasons: www.theflytrapmedia.com/the-future-o...

1/ Cuba is out of fuel, strangled by the US fuel chokehold. People are dying, systems are breaking down. This is collective punishment against a people who have done absolutely nothing except live their lives under hard conditions imposed by the US blockade for decades.

ICE is targeting press outside Delaney Hall

Republicans made your health insurance premiums skyrocket to pay for this. Your tax dollars are funding cruel and capricious denial of medical care to someone who came here, worked, committed no crimes, paid taxes and made a life.

I've yet to need a third-party review for the endless insurance battles I've had over my biologics, but it's good to know they exist because it's only a matter of time. As it is, my prior authorizations require the doctor's medical team, 3 patient advocates, and a prescription company advocate.

Israel has killed 55 children and injured 212 others in Lebanon since the April 16 ceasefire announcement, according to UNICEF. The agency also said that 77 children were killed or injured in the past week alone, averaging 11 children every 24 hours, amid a widening Israeli escalation in Lebanon. 🧵

Amtrak trains heading to New York will be suspended until the afternoon, while NJ Transit service between New York and Newark is suspended until further notice.

California trans athlete AB Hernandez ‘crushed’ by having to share podiums www.outsports.com/20... #transgender #trans #LGBTQ #LGBTQIA

A maternity ward doctor donated his own blood during surgery to keep a pregnant patient alive. One woman gained fewer than 10 pounds over her entire pregnancy. Another collapsed and had seizures during labor. (Published Dec. 2025)

Art and babies don't appear out of thin air. Another person did all the work of growing that baby before it was unceremoniously handed over. Someone else's work, labor and resources were stolen in order to create that baby.

I just want ppl to realize that these things are continuing to happen more and more, while the media banks on info overload to keep the stories from being noticed on a mass scale. There’s a long list of young Black ppl being found like this or in a similar way, many over the last few yrs.
