I bought a labubu and it attached me to its purse and I don’t know where I am

“I remember a woman crying and screaming — her daughter’s body was burned. She was begging for someone to come and save her. You could hear the ambulances trying to get in, and you don’t let them enter.” Investigation by Yuval Abraham www.972mag.com/double-tap-i...

"Seven of the Venezuelans arrived days after the rest, deported from Guantánamo, where a hunger strike had broken out. They suggested doing the same at CECOT. Flores, Ramos, and others I spoke with said every inmate they knew joined the hunger strike, which lasted for several days."”

Seven women between the 12th-17th c., from Iraq to Germany, Torah teachers, scribes, mystics, most or all of whom you've never heard of -- and I bet some of the details you've never gotten -- come and learn ♥️

"I collapsed. I tried to stay strong for my mother [...] Around me, I saw people fainting everywhere." "We can no longer do the most basic things that people around the world do every day. Hunger has stripped us of everything." www.972mag.com/hunger-gaza-...

Rain garden can go a long way to preventing the worst of the kind of flash flooding—from rain right there, not coming downstream—that just hit NYC. They're a cheap and often beautiful way to prevent enormous damages.

I love that former NYT public editor @sulliview.bsky.social is public-editing from the outside. "With this made-up scandal, combined with the pre-election editorial, the Times looks like it’s on a crusade against Mamdani. "And no lofty explanation about the mission can disguise it."

Everyone should read this and clearly a lot of you still haven't. (Also available in German thanks to @thediasporist.bsky.social: thediasporist.de/de/der-unent... )

Despite having several of the worst gun massacres in recent memory, Texas just banned a law that helps keep guns away from unhinged people. My latest reporting on mass shootings in America www.motherjones.com/politics/202... @motherjones.com Photo by Pete Luna, Uvalde Leader-News

The UK can excuse genocide, but draws the line at festival chants - www.972mag.com/uk-idf-music...

If I had said this last year, that Trump would try and deport US citizens in his first year, all Republicans and a nontrivial number of liberals and centrists would have attacked me for behind hyperbolic, and fear-mongering, and of having Trump Derangement Syndrome. And yet:

"For the child born this summer in Texas, whose parents receive no documents, whose name never appears in any system, and who grows up asking why she can’t go on field trips, apply for scholarships, or open a bank account, the consequences are not legal theory. They are her life."

This guy was indicted for bribery lmao

When ordinary Republicans understand how Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill” would affect the after-tax incomes of American families, it turns out they don’t find it beautiful at all. “I was really shocked."

Doctors Warn Medicaid Cuts in Senate Budget Bill Will Kill Their Patients Please read the article. Closing of hospitals and kicking people off of healthcare and SNAP will lead to 100s of 1000s of deaths. Spread the message & don’t let the GOP get away with murder. truthout.org/articles/my-...

It should go without saying but historically people who propose denaturalization are not, as my grandfather would say, good for the Jews

I invited @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social to this event, and so proud of it! I originally invited him (as part of the organizing team) hoping he would speak. I wanted more people to hear him, hoping more people would support him. We decided not to have politicians speak, but Zohran came anyway.

New York’s next mayor, America’s next boyfriend

Truly horrified by this order in way that is deeper and darker than I have felt over many truly awful merits decisions.

When was the last time a socialist politician campaign in NYC in Yiddish? Meyer London?

Job Garcia’s kidnapping by the Trump administration is the top story on the LA Times website right now. www.latimes.com/california/s...

We are deep in the middle of something that will later be viewed as being on par with McCarthyism

Some much needed news of freedom going into this Juneteenth weekend

MIT study found that AI overuse causes measurable brain damage. “Cognitive atrophy.. like a muscle that’s forgotten how to work” MIT Publication - arxiv.org/pdf/2506.088... Time Magazine - time.com/7295195/ai-c...

"The moment you enter this facility, your rights leave you behind,” he said. “So once you enter there, you see a different reality, just a different reality about this country.”

Only one white person has texted to wish me a Happy Juneteenth today. Ima tell Fredrick Douglass about the rest of yall 😤

L.A. Taco has confirmed with the family of 20yr old Adrian Andrew Martinez, who was taken by ICE while working at Walmart in Pico Rivera, is a US citizen who was speaking up for his coworker that was detained. ~ @eltragon.bsky.social

Helicopters. Armed troops wearing masks. All for a freaking military-grade raid at a flea market that appears to have resulted in two measly arrests. DHS and ICE are out of control. ktla.com/news/local-n...

Didn't realize police could commandeer a home.

What's happening to libraries in Florida should frighten everyone. Spurred on by Moms For Liberty, the AG is threatening librarians with felonies for stocking LGBTQ+ books and overruling established processes for removing "harmful" material. It's a full on censorship campaign by the government.

BREAKING: A federal judge in Massachusetts (the Reagan-appointed William Young) has declared the Trump administration's cuts to NIH grants — ostensibly over Trump's EOs on gender ideology and DEI — are "illegal" and "void." He's ordering many grants restored.

Palestinianism? Its amazing the degree to which dehumanization of Palestinians has become normalized. Palestinian is a national identity. Its not a hateful ideology or a disease. Using the term Palestinianism is undeniably a form of racism

Iranian-born Israeli political activist Orly Noy says Netanyahu launched his war on Iran as he "started losing support among the Israeli public" for the debacle in Gaza. "Both Netanyahu and the Israeli army needed an immediate rehabilitation to their prestige." www.democracynow.org/2025/6/16/ir...

Georgia's mask ban is an anti-KKK law. A sole person wearing a medical mask is not causing dangers like the KKK in any capacity.

Thank fuck for the Don't Just Let Everybody Die cavalry

The gunman no doubt thought of himself as a good person, as someone who was pro-life, but his ideology brought him to a place where he shot 17 bullets into a couple who got into politics to help get health insurance for his daughter, who has spina bifida.

Shots apparently fired at Utah no kings protest. The crowd panics and everyone starts running away.

New Yorkers scream out each officer’s lawsuits against them for excessive force and more upon their city, right to their faces while protesting.

🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨 Sen. Alex Padilla, the first Latino to represent California in the Senate, was assaulted and dragged out of Kristi Noem's press conference before being forced to the ground, cuffed and briefly detained. All completely illegal, all completely racist, all very much happening.

I know *a lot* is going on but Harvey Weinstein was reconvicted in his retrial lol

ICE fled the scene after ramming a car in Boyle Heights! ABC-7 in L.A. reporting what police said. They're saying there was an incident involving "a federal agent." "They fled the scene." "Hollenbeck Division is even saying they're investigating this, possibly as an assault with a deadly weapon."

The government is kidnapping kids.
