"Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage." ~ Anaïs Nin The Blue Door (1927) 🎨 Raymond Wintz

Drunk on JKF’s post assassination power, they fell off the wagon when Hubert Humphrey failed his party so profoundly. It’s been sad pandering ever since. Corporate shills make bad legislators.

Dudes. As a society we taught young women to walk with keys between their fingers in dark parking lots and to carry pepper spray in their purse. So yes. I’m asking you to be responsible for the actions of other men. After all, that’s what you’ve asked of women for centuries. It’s your turn.

My thesis is misogyny is what keeps the world from realizing peace and harmony. Women understand sustenance. Men do not. And men do worse than to not understand it. Men disrespect sustenance.

I think it's useful to think of MAGA political culture as a long running, decentralized reality TV show from which hundreds of "influencers" are profiting by generating new story lines. We're now in season 11 and the shark jumping and brain-breaking plot twists are coming at an accelerating pace.

In the early 1960s a number of US right wingers left the John Birch Society in protest precisely because the JBS accepted Jewish members and refused to identify "the communist conspiracy" as "Jewish." These intra-right arguments about competing phantoms go way back. bsky.app/profile/seth...

We who shout out our truths on this site and others suffer form the delusion that Americans are somehow going to become engaged and educated citizens when all the injustices we perceive are revealed. They won’t. But 3.5% of us will. And that’s enough if we organize and act. #GeneralStrikeNOW

'I was fighting two wars’: Ukraine’s soldiers confront their addiction struggles Troops frequently use substances to help cope with untreated PTSD and anxiety, producing a negative spiral www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

Religious practices in today’s world are very confusing…

“More than 1,000 bone fragments have been found near a lake in Mexico City just weeks before it hosts the World Cup. More than 480,000 people have been killed & another 130,000 have gone missing in Mexico’s drug war since 2006, when the govt deployed troops to take on the country’s powerful cartels“

Stupid, stupid, stupid This regime is so stupid How can anyone put up with the insanity, the lies, the constant drama, the disrespect, and the downright corruption Strike, strike, strike! Make the economy hurt from boycotting every tech company, every media company, etc #MayDayStrike

The conventional thinking that Trump will eventually suffer Nixon’s fate has been proven wrong. The Republican Party of the 1970s was tethered to constitutional governance. Today’s GOP has degenerated into a neofascist political cult, writes @blumslaw.bsky.social.

look we have a Palantir Govt run by no less than Philosopher Kings bsky.app/profile/elio...

Palantir Government? majority of revenues come from govt contracts. Deployed at -ICE -HHS since last March to audit grants & job descriptions for anything related to "DEI" or "gender ideology" -Pentagon, a $10 billion contract! www.cnbc.com/2025/08/01/p... www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

In a moment of crisis, you can count on the national Democratic Party to shoot itself in the head, the foot and the ass, usually with the same bullet.

Schrödinger's Strait

My enslaved ancestors did not think white people were better than them! It was the enslavers who were convinced. They did not bear torture thinking the ones who tortured them were better than them as people! That was a delusion their oppressors needed to oppress them. It's the same today.

Honestly... if you've "gotta" exploit someone to maintain your expected lifestyle... are you "better" or are you just an asshole? I think it shows WEAKNESS to use force or trickery on others. Cowardice, greed, and hatefulness.

Today I am writing about California's governor's race — because what happens on June 2, 2026 will determine whether this state keeps fighting for its people or hands itself over to the people who profit from their suffering‼️ open.substack.com/pub/lcsilenc...

This is today 1045 am Columbia MO!

This report came out today by minority staff of the House science committee on how three NASA missions were aborted due to NASA illegally following the FY26 president's budget request instead of congressionally approved budget. Very important reading. 🔭🧪 democrats-science.house.gov/staff-report...

everything about DOGE was fucking wildly illegal and everyone involved in it should spend time in prison and have their assets seized

WOW: Jodi Kantor & Adam Liptak have the memos that describe the origins of SCOTUS shadow docket - the 2016 order halting Obama’s Clean Power Plan @jodikantor.bsky.social @adamliptak.bsky.social @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2026/04/18/u...

According to NASA's Clean Air Study,the Snake Plant is so Effective in producing oxygen that if you were locked in a sealed room with no airflow,you would be able to survive with just 6-8 plants in it. NASA recommends 15 to 18 medium-to large size plants for 1,800 square home.

I hope the two conservative Christian assholes who complained about pride, flag can fill in for virtually their entire customer base abandoning them. Used to love me some Philz, but not no more .

“I think it's a threat to national security,” McGeary said. “Because when we cannot raise food in this country, we are reliant on imports, which we already are, to a great extent — far more than most people realize.” Trump is the threat to national security. www.rawstory.com/trump-farmer...

True! Fun fact: They did this because someone leaked Robert Bork’s rental history during his confirmation battle.

The event celebrated the 20 year relationship amongst the Rupertsland Institute, the Métis Education Foundation, the Otipemisiwak Métis Government and the University of Alberta. An inspirational afternoon. #Metis #Alberta #Edmonton

I was on the @ualberta.bsky.social campus today for the unveiling of this remarkable art installation by Metis painter Christi Belcourt. It’s called In My Grandmother’s Time, and it blends traditional motifs from Metis beading and embroidery with digital technology. And it’s gorgeous. #ualberta #yeg

Hegseth saying “The Pharisee Press” should be a fully mask off moment. He is saying “The Jewish Press”. But Christians of all political stripes are so devoted to using Pharisees as a rhetorical prop that liberal Christians regularly insist it’s totally fine, no matter how many Jews try to explain.

As soon as Kevin realized something was off, he came to me and the rest of the team. I'm very proud of him as an editor and colleague for his integrity, transparency & honesty—& for serving as a model for how journalism leaders and newsrooms must hold ourselves accountable openly and transparently.

The Mississippi Free Press got inundated with a raft of AI-generated opinion pieces—which we pay writers for—from people who don't exist pretending to be Mississippians. One of those columns made it to publication before we caught the scam. Kevin Edwards, editor for our Voices section, explains:

youtube.com/watch?v=vr_u... Lawrence O’Donnell has RFK Jr. on tape saying “every Black kid” needs to be taken from their parents and reparented. I assume he means handed over to the government. RFK Jr. is a disgusting and extremely racist individual. He needs to be removed NOW!

Sartorial Socialism is harsh!

i have zero sympathy for gosar, who has lied to his constituents for years about his health and who is a profoundly repulsive person, but it makes you wonder how empty the barrel has gotten that TPUSA would put him onstage like this

Actually, Atlas was condemned to carry the sky on his back. (The image of him with the planet came later.) And that was his punishment for losing a war. This guy should try the internet.

Woody Guthrie: What This Guitar Might Do examines the legendary singer-songwriter’s artistry, activism, and truth-telling in an exhibition that highlights his years in New York City. The exhibition will be on view from March 31 through May 15, 2026. www.nyu.edu/about/news-p...

NYT says the lead prosecutor on the Brennan inquiry “withdrew” but CNN says she was “removed” – who’s right? IMO the prosecutor never should have taken the investigation to begin with! www.nytimes.com/2026/04/17/u... edition.cnn.com/2026/04/17/p...

Great set of slides. I hadn't seen this data:

You need the VP regardless and then also two-thirds in both houses of Congress to side with him. Swapping out the Cabinet doesn't make any meaningful difference.
