This is how you do it. This is what we should be talking about rather than “no one’s doing anything,”

I am at peace. Cabo Verde lifted the entire diaspora and made us proud.

Cape Verde should be proud, just unlimited hustle and heart

Mamdani: "Those who led through exclusion & isolation have tried to win power & enrich themselves by turning us against one another ... today, too many of our leaders do not believe in a vision of this nation as an asylum for the persecuted, but rather as one that persecutes those seeking asylum"

Dog rescued in Venezuela after 6 days in rubble! Such goodness all around 😍

Parked but not idle: The buses “will charge up their nearly 200-kilowatt-hour batteries overnight, when the power supply is at its cleanest & cheapest, then send energy back to the grid from 4 pm to 7 pm on days when the grid is strained. The district will earn revenue for the power it shares…”

Citizens United is already disastrous. These decisions make both US parties even more dependent on wealthy donors. My $25 donations to several Democrats can’t match a single billionaire’s $250 million check. A country shaped by the bottomless greed and lack of empathy of a few can’t survive/thrive.

I found this essay (by a naturalized South African of Nigerian descent) on what is currently going on in South Africa illuminating, given the June 30 deadline for "self-deportation" of immigrants by anti-immigrant and vigilante groups. lovelynnwadeyi.substack.com/p/i-call-her...

this should be a violation of international laws. these nations need to stop Russia from shanghai-ing their people. And everyone needs to be on notice: Any job offer to RUSSIA is a goddamn trick and will get you killed. www.cnn.com/2026/06/28/a...

Fascinating look at how Putin is using real anti-immigrant sentiment in South Africa to push an amendment to South Africa’s constitution helping Russia establish nuclear power plants in SA. Using anti-immigrant sentiment to achieve hidden goals works in different countries! youtu.be/rxzQ4Uk-Gj4?...

New York City residents are celebrating the reopening of public pools — including Mayor Zohran Mamdani, who jumped into the water while wearing a suit at an East Harlem pool on Saturday. Outdoor public pools will be open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. every day through Sept. 13.

Vaccines save lives. This is the FIRST time that ZERO cervical-cancer deaths have been recorded for this age group, and it’s thanks to the introduction of a vaccine against the human papillomavirus (HPV). Yes, you read that correctly. ZERO.

No Father’s Day is complete without this video. At the 1992 Olympic Games in Barcelona, Redmond tore his hamstring in the 400 metres semi-final but continued the race limping and, with assistance from his father, managed to complete a full lap of the track as the crowd gave him a standing ovation.

Hemiscyllium dudgeonae is the tenth recorded species of walking shark, which use their pectoral fins to move across reef flats, and its limited range means it may be at high risk of extinction

Can we finally all agree that the argument “we should run the country like a business, and therefore elect businessmen to run it” has been a failed experiment?

Rebecca: "Chaps, Alexi left us" Zlatan: "Who? Rebecca: "Alexi will be back, Alexi will be back with us very soon" Thierry: "Your plan worked, Rebecca" Rebecca: "Don't you bring me into this, no chance" Zlatan: "America, you're welcome" lmaooooooooooooooooo

There’s a saying passed down from earlier generations of Black Texans who were there for the first Juneteenth: “It was not a piece of paper that freed the slaves, but the men with the guns.”

The smile on my face as I watched this! So much of the current moment is about making us forget how things used to be and could be (still can be, with some work, of course). I so appreciate this… www.youtube.com/live/4jPZhuw...

holy shit -- OMB nominee Hal Duncan repeatedly refuses to say whether he thinks it's a good idea to put civil servants "in trauma," as Russ Vought once said

Oh!

Love this!

Guess the plan is to have right wingers or right-wing aligned oligarchs own almost every streamer, newspaper, broadcast news network, cable news and social media site. Control how the majority of people get their news and entertainment. (Murdoch already owns HarperCollins publishers). Scary…

Parade. Thursday. Manhattan.

Mexico vs South Africa soccer match had almost all African countries rooting for Mexico because of recent xenophobic attacks (Ghana sent a plane to South Africa to repatriate its citizens). Mexico won 2-0.

I’ve officially resigned as Associate Editor for Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience. It used to be a reputable journal, but became a case study in how forced automation destroys academic integrity. 👇

This is a really dark column and rings 100% true.

My older sister (middle row, fourth from the left) died way too young. Her grade school picture from the University of Ibadan’s Staff School makes me wonder what might have been.
