Yes, I can hear them. I immediately answered No to neurospicy, but then thought, "Isn't everyone?" Then I remembered a severe bout of depression leading to my adult diagnosis of ADHD at 30.

A great indicator of when Democrats should do a thing is if Van Jones and James Carville oppose it

Nothing says “I should be taxed more“ more than using $82 million to argue that you should not, in fact, be taxed more.

I had to buy a lot of new cookware to work with an induction plate. This article was grim. Private equity has now ruined vets, dentistry, youth sports, and fucking Pyrex.

Serbian President Vucic announced he’ll resign after 18 months of student protests. That’s Bangladesh, Nepal, Madagascar, Bulgaria, Hungary, and now Serbia, all in the past two years. Anti-corruption is the most potent force for positive political change right now. The US remains ripe.

Wouldja believe me if I told you Palantir is connected to this story?

no one cared who I was until I put on the mask

I took a hard look at the financial donors to ICE’s biggest supporters in Congress. These are people who want to significantly expand ICE’s power and have sponsored or co-sponsored legislation to do so. Here are the top 25 consumer brands bankrolling the biggest ICE supporters in Congress:

Nay, because iPhone people refuse to learn how to use their cameras properly.

NOTE FROM A SCIENCE NERD: The decibel scale is logarithmic. That means an increase of 10db is a ten fold increase in sound energy. The World Cup crowd going from 78db to 84db when it started booing Trump has a perceived loudness of twice as loud. www.nytimes.com/athletic/745...

“The proposed “Restoring Resiliency” project featured a plan to remove toxic substances such as mold, lead paint, and asbestos from homes, repair a nearly 82-year-old wastewater system, and convert part of a shuttered high school band room into a health clinic.”

I feel so bad for this guy! Apparently, he ended up getting a better apartment elsewhere but still. Landlords are just the worst.

"I introduce myself as a Catholic nun, I tell them I went to Mass this morning for you, and I'm not a hearing officer, I have nothing to do with the whole process, I'm here to accompany you, to go in with you if that's OK," said Sister Kuhn. "Most days I go, there are unaccompanied minors.”

It will never stop feeling weird to see previously kind of normal organizations turn into the Association for Scowling at Black Women in Particular While Ogling Everyone’s Genitals

The story of a trans girl who tried to fight Idaho's anti-trans laws, and died to suicide earlier this year, is only now coming to light. Our hearts are broken, but we need to tell these stories and mourn our dead, because the media is barely bothering to look for the victims of trans genocide.

We've known how to fix rough sleeping/homelessness for decades. Give people housing. Simple as that. In the long run, it's also most fiscally sound. It's just that the worst people ever get *extremely* angry at the idea of just giving people help. It's not what Jesus would do, apparently!

See who's watching you. The Atlas of Surveillance (www.atlasofsurveillance.org) a database of surveillance technologies deployed by law enforcement in communities across the United States. This includes drones, body-worn cameras, automated license plate readers, facial recognition, and more.

I'm not posting Odyssey memes because one must be wary of GIFs bearing Greeks.

Another reminder: never underestimate women. Karlyn Pickens holds the Guinness World Record for the fastest softball pitch at 79.4 mph. #SheShed #ViVaHerAlliance

100% preventable say the experts, doctors + scientists So what to do? Trump regime fired scientists + doctors Cut funding to programs Reduced aid + support to those affected (+ will cut $$) all to support a b.s. “beautiful clean coal industry” +de-regulate biz www.nytimes.com/2025/06/19/w...

AQI here has once again tipped from “unhealthy for sensitive groups” to just outright “unhealthy” and were hovering around 200. I keep thinking of poses I’ve seen on here with AQI of over 700 or even 1000, numbers I literally didn’t even know the scale went to/we measured & I feel heartbroken.

Mass propaganda works, as history shows. MAGA is a media revolution. With prolific, addictive accounts; mediums, channels (indirect/direct) networked , it permeates all info spaces and trends. Dems and orgs need young & older activists together on videos/pods discussing & debunking maga bs.

I cross-referenced my database of candidates against credible voter fraud cases. GOP politicians are implicated at 50x–38,000x the general public's rate. Yet even if every American voted with the integrity of a GOP candidate, it still wouldn't come close to justifying making voting one iota harder.

Summer training not fun. Not fun at all. "Mommy, is it Fall yet?" "No, baby. Soon." #blackskyfitness

A Haitian friend lives is terror as the July 24 deadline for termination of TPS looms. He smiles as he always does but can’t help but look pained, “they will start deportations” he said. This is a man my son runs to from across the street to hug. Not sure how to raise him in this cruel world.

“You see this shit?” - Multiple confused animals

That “Proof of life” photo was probably..

Is the attention worth it? Have you raised enough yet to be able to get a cart, or are you still 21¢ short?

Look at who was affected by this outbreak. All out west. Compare it to th cyclospora outbreak. All EAST. The government is probably scapegoating Taylor Farms because they don't actually know, because they fucked up the systems that would help us find out.

Why ICE recruiting bonuses are so high and standards are so low. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/18/w...

In the last two days, I've had two instances of drivers straight up *not seeing me.* Me, a 5'11" guy riding a 9-ft long, tomato-red cargo bike, with two kids in the bucket wearing hi-viz helmets. I'm beginning to think the "cyclist came out of nowhere" problem is on the drivers' end.

Nah, this is the prelude to his Universal Soldier program.

I don’t give myself enough credit for this, but I really pioneered & built a virtual nursing infrastructure for my company’s virtual program. June marked 1 year since I started the role & now I’m getting ready to refine + elevate what I built. Highlight of my nursing career.

Prior to COVID, I used to say the only thing that would cause people to stop being selfish is if the aliens invade the planet. After, I KNOW some of these people would be "yOU cAin't TEll mE EYE shOUdN'T heLp the mARtiaNs!!!"

It sounds stupid, it is stupid, but its deadly serious because they are trying to blame an impoverished .5% of the population for EVERYTHING, no matter how ridiculous. Very much the same as how Germany blamed .5% of the population for everything, and you know what came next.

The only research center in the United States focused on disabled parents may close soon due to loss of federal funding. New from me at @motherjones.com. “It is a profound setback for disability rights and family equity.” www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

The WH is objectively pro-cancer for black kids

BREAKING: Republicans just FAILED to secure enough votes for the “Take Care of America’s Veterans Act” in a massive win for the Veteran Community. The bill would have cut benefits for 1.5 million veterans by changing disability ratings for common conditions like tinnitus and sleep apnea.

Top-tier Divorced Guy behavior: thinking your ex-wife is willing to cover and lie for you and not being right about that.
