My latest piece open.substack.com/pub/shaystew...

Here's more about LD 1911, the other bill Janet Mills vetoed. I have been talking this morning with Senator Talbot Ross, the bills sponsor. This veto impacts justice impacted folks in Maine who are disproportionately marginalized folks. cleanslatemaine.org

If you visit Istambul, look up at the walls of Ottoman-era mosques, madrasahs, tombs or other buildings. You might find "kuş sarayları" (bird palaces), gorgeous stone bird houses in the shape of elaborate mansions. These were mainly built between the 16th to 19th centuries, to show kindness to birds

Targeted attacks on civilians with small drones are growing rapidly around the world, with devastating consequences. I am mapping a selection of these attacks here, and will be regularly adding new entries. Have a look: map.faineg.com/public/index...

“The world’s richest man is preventing lifesaving aid from reaching the world’s poorest children, closing off their future as he fantasizes about another.” -via starvation, AIDS, cholera, & probably other ways not in this article, all while wallowing in delusional hallucinations of life on Mars.

Yes, I think the enormity of Elon Musk racking up Pol-Pot levels of mass killing is so hideous to contemplate that many people just….aren’t.

Remember when Elon did the Nazi salute and the ADL defended him?

elon musk staying the patron saint of just saying shit

Revoking kids' visas because their parents criticized Elon Musk.

These are awesome. www.reddit.com/r/comics/com...

Elon Musk has also disrupted, by which I mean brutally ended, the lives of over a million poor children and adults globally by means of destroying USAID, but who gives a fuck, right?

Cmon death, do a death

I have no idea how I missed this. RIP to a true humanitarian who had the courage to speak truth. Our loss 💔🖤 www.resilience.org/stories/2026...

He was trafficking children across international boundaries. Interpol needs to be involved. Some of the girls housed in London were coerced by Epstein to recruit others, as well as regularly transported to Paris by Eurostar to visit him #Pinks #Epstein www.bbc.com/news/article...

We want HEALTH CARE. Not an arch. Not a ballroom. Not a war. Not world oil domination. Not a boxing ring on the WH lawn. Not gold filigree everywhere. Not concentration camps. Not secret police. H-E-A-L-T-H C-A-R-E

Donald Trump keeps shitting his pants. He keeps passing gas. Stinks horribly all caught on video. He even recently got caught saying he has to take a shit on a hot microphone. Demented sick fuck. youtu.be/LSxYKj5CJpI?...

Google has revenues of more than 400 billion USD a year. People just use Google. And the founders of Google left California to avoid paying taxes I created a search engine in which half the profits generated by it will be given to homeless charities/ www.helpandsearch.com

A lot of people love to go on & on about ”solidarity“, but it’s about as useful as huffing solvents. Why? 1-too many people love the status quo; 2- #1 national pastime is scapegoating-immigrants, homeless, other generations etc.. are always the problem. We can‘t seem to exist otherwise.

HR is the agent of management pretending to be a neutral party. They only exist to create a paper trail so it’s harder for fired workers to take legal action against their employers. HR is not an alternative to an organized and unionized workplace.

i bet part of the reason the US is getting its stupid fascist ass handed to it is that Iran can accurately predict what the US is about to do by watching polymarket for a whole bunch of large bets at the same time all of a sudden

'Oregon gray whale strandings raise alarm of die-off. Many of the whales appeared upon necropsy to be emaciated, meaning they did not get enough food during last summer’s feeding session' www.axios.com/local/portla...

Today is Day 2 of the World Adaptation Forum here in Budapest. I get to relax a bit after a book launch, presentation, podcast and endless interactions with many of you from far and wide who knew me for years but finally met me in person. This is COMMUNITY 🌱 Thank You❤️✌🏽💀

The richest man in the world is a depressed car salesman high on drugs.

Journalist Amy Goodman says that in times of war and conflicts, “What I care about is the answer, and I care that people in this country don’t get health care at the same time that money goes to kill others in another country.”

#nuclear #fallout #corruption look, nuclear accident, the result is there forever compared to human lifespan. and people still thinks this is a good idea www.sverigesradio.se/artikel/40-a...

Some call it profit. Science calls it theft. A global tax on polluting companies could raise $400 billion year one. That money doesn't disappear. It's just sitting in the wrong bank accounts—while our planet runs a deficit it'll never repay.

This is an excellent over view of the dangerous warming period we’ll likely be entering in the next 12 months. Share it widely. Corp news will not acknowledge this increased danger until it’s too late in order to keep markets stable. That is their sole job. open.substack.com/pub/chrisglo...

Finding a way to “foster more creativity by partnering with AI” is like a hospital looking to create better health outcomes by partnering with jumping off buildings.

Fascinating as always from @bureaucat.bsky.social I’ve argued in the past centrist liberals build identity and meaning like it’s a resume’. Everything is weighed against career and maintaining the privilege of a “hopeful” but entrenched status quo. youtu.be/CS1Ng3CcAOs?...

Very normal wildfires in Georgia in April www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Rodney Taylor is a disabled double amputee who’s been held in an ICE camp for over a year. He’s being denied access to his new prosthetic legs. Placed in solitary. His fiancé says he was even denied access to food on April 7 & was disciplined for having a disability Make noise for Rodney:

No it truly is. Half of the U.S. has a reading level of 6th grade. Iranians have to have a 90% passing grade. They also have subsidized college. They invested in women in all aspects of military, science and physics. The U.S. is a failed nation at this point.

We have noticed a very pixelated version of this image kicking around. Here's a better quality one. Were you there for this photoshoot on 2nd Ave nearly 20 years ago?

Kathleen Rogers of EarthDay.org joins Background Briefing's Ian Masters to breaks down how fossil fuel influence shapes global climate decisions, what’s at stake for public health, and why she still believes people can force change. Full interview @ kpfa.org #kpfa @ianmastersmedia.bsky.social

Data centres should be banned entirely—A.I. too. We got along just fine without them..

They want you worried about Hasan Piker so you don’t see what the oligarchy is doing. www.huffpost.com/entry/elliso...

The Absolute Opposite of What They Should Be Doing….

They are governing our economic chances at themselves. When they govern our chances at themselves, we do not get a fair chance. This is not "capitalism". Don't you want a fair chance? Jail the criminals Thank the rest Fix the bugs Replace them all
