Where this weekend’s millions of protestors messed up was not sitting around at a diner in rural Pennsylvania waiting to be interviewed

Why would a billionaire want a functioning paper? Functioning papers cover shit like “did you know this billionaire makes his workers pee into bottles instead of taking a break” and “you pay way more tax than a guy with ten yachts”

I was all deep nods and “Mmm-hmm!”s during my opening night visit, then the same during my interview. (He’s lucky I only sang during the former.)

How can lower income Los Angeles residents access fresh, healthy, affordable food? A variety of LA-based organizations are meeting this increasing need. Here's where to find free and low-cost fresh food in LA.

LAT's @jessicagelt.bsky.social writes about Trump's grievances with the Smithsonian — aka he hates inclusion. It's interesting that politicians who could care less what the Statue of Liberty stands for get their panties in knots when artists recontextualize her. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

Great week for people who are like once I saw a black person, therefore it’s time for martial law

Like 25% of all news now is like breaking: a racist opened his mouth

Unenthused re: the third #dragrace #allstars10 final bracket but the R&B lover in me was *very* here for Ginger’s Brandy nod and the Junior lip-sync.

They have made the world living hell for no reason whatsoever. People will ask why this happened in a decade and there will be tremendous effort to make it more complicated than “they were evil, stupid, and bored”

Fired a black person who was qualified, hired a white person with no qualifications whatsoever. The Trump administration in a nutshell bsky.app/profile/axio...

What does it mean for something to be “improper” if the administration’s understanding of what is acceptable excludes anything that might make white Americans feel bad? www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

American media are truly stuck on stupid. www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

everything is just different flavors of depressing

According to Superintendent Alberto Carvalho, Department of Homeland Security agents entered Russell Elementary and Lillian Street Elementary on Monday, asking after a total of five students. The principals denied those agents entry and called the district's legal department.

A scarce combination of a high risk of a tornado outbreak and life-threatening flooding is likely in the U.S. Our @nytimes.com weather team is taking your questions in the comments. Myself, @nazaneentv.bsky.social and @amyjeangraff.bsky.social will answer them throughout the day. nyti.ms/44bHD2P

This is going to get worse, not better. Never underestimate the American public’s thirst for performative cruelty towards The Other: defendants, foreigners, anyone they’ve been conditioned to see as less than human. We’re the country that made lynchings into picnics.

Not sure if this has been shared here yet, but this is video of Rumeysa Ozturk's arrest posted by WCVB. It's terrifying.
