Steyer is going all in on all the right things.

It’s Pride month so I get to be cringe and say my life is so much fuller and more beautiful because of every queer person in it What an amazing thing the human spirit is, and I am going to fight like hell to beat anyone trying to break it

Look, I loathe literally everything about Susan Collins, AIPAC, & Bibi, & still you simply cannot go to the Nazi Bar & say stuff like “an American Senator is bought & paid for by The Jewish International” when you already are facing questions about the SS Totenkopf tattoo on your chest.

truly a man who still has not realized that shutting up is free, lmao

Wait. How did I miss that @reason.com gave Jay Bhattacharya a free speech award. Maybe I can write an article for them updating the state of science and free speech with their hero in charge. What do you say @nickgillespie.bsky.social

@repkweisimfume.bsky.social Did we get our democracy back and I missed something?? Get back to DC and impeaching the orange mother fucker. youtu.be/Uk911fVJ9J4?...

If you don’t like what you’re seeing at Delaney Hall, pay attention to what’s happening in Congress this week.   We must stop giving ICE and for-profit companies like GEO Group a blank check to create chaos.

I did a lot in May. Here’s everything I wrote + my coverage of the Chicago Critics Film Festival and the Cannes Film Festival.

The only message not voting sends to a politician is that your opinion can be safely ignored because you will never hold them accountable. That's it. You can tell yourself not voting is good for your personal brand or your moral well being, but never pretend it makes a difference in the real world.

BREAKING GOOD NEWS from El Pueblo Unido Atlantic City: An 18-year-old detainee who participated in the hunger strike inside Delaney Hall, is now FREE! Ariana is now speaking out about what she witnessed and experienced behind those walls. #FreeThemAll

A state accused of deliberately drawing maps to diminish Black political power is unable to fight for those maps in court today because it is honoring a man who fought a war to deny Black Americans any political standing at all. #CivilWarMemory open.substack.com/pub/kevinmle...

BREAKING: we are NOT accepting media reports as proof that the $1.8B slush fund & "settlements" associated with it are dead That's why we @democracydefendersfund.org have just filed a new lawsuit to make sure this ENDS --on behalf of former J6 prosecutors with Platkin LLP, WLG & Heaphy Smith

I appreciate George's expertise a lot but I find the confidence with which financial analysts say stuff like "A political solution will emerge in short order when things get bad enough" to be really confusing.

wishing all of our lgbtqia+ friends a safe and happy pride month🩷❤️ 🧡💛💚🩵💙💜

Party over country, as usual. He has to say that or he will get death threats. I hope when Cornyn is alone casting his vote he will at least skip voting for Paxton. Won’t hold my breath tho.

Took another trip to DC today. #bmoregoat #Baltimore #birdwatching

This, for anyone interested, is what an American fascist looks like

“Texas’ $7.25 minimum wage has remained the same for the past 15 years, and yet Paxton fought in court to block a minimum wage increase for federal contractors. While Texans were actively being left behind, he was sticking taxpayers with a $5 million bill for his impeachment trial.”

WIRED boss: did you write that long COVID feature? Reporter: sure did, boss. Made it super misleading and dismissive, just like you asked Boss: I didn’t, though. Reporter: nah, nobody ever SAYS that, but we’re talking about CBT here. Boss: oh, well in that case Headline: ONE WEIRD TRICK

Okay so now we know Todd Starnes sits around thinking about James Talarico wearing frilly underpants. Don't really understand why he would broadcast that to everybody but alright

I have seen two people attempt to make this case in seriousness so far

A really powerful conversation. Can’t wait to read this book. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/f...

We love our mottled pink fascists, don't we folks?

Mikie Sherrill’s state police destroyed the mutual aid tent for families of the detained that had been in operation at Delaney Hall for more than a year, providing clothes, food, even stuffies for the kids. They just trashed it. I’m pretty speechless at the kind of person you have to be to do this

"There's an effective treatment but the Powers That Be are keeping it from you" is the age-old argument of cranks and grifters. Embarrassing for Wired to run this.

June is #PrideMonth, and it's also #RainbowBookMonth - a nationwide celebration of the authors and writings that reflect the lives of the LGBTQIA+ community. Find lists of award-winning LGBTQIA+ books, tools for libraries, and graphics to help spread the word: https://bit.ly/4kKOkOg.

this is what happens when two scorpions try to ride each other

In case you missed yesterday's review, the Kalem company tackled the Mexican Revolution with a series of films starring a Welsh mercenary who fought in it.

I would say that Elon Musk lies all the time, and blaming his political involvement on his daughter is part of his ongoing abuse of his daughter. "you made me do it" is intended as punishment and threat.

Today, I signed an Executive Order temporarily repealing bedtimes in the City of New York so that kids of all ages can watch our team in the NBA Finals. As Mayor, you’re forced to make many difficult decisions. This was not one of them. Go Knicks.

A reminder that Bovino planned and executed the racist terror campaign against Latinos that Brett Kavanaugh explicitly blessed in September. Kavanaugh Stops were born through Kavanaugh giving Bovino the benefit of the doubt.

it is very simple folks. "unqualified DEI hire" is when you're not a white male, "merit-based promotion" is when you are a white male and also pete hegseth's personal assistant. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/01/u...

It's June, which means it's time for my birthday fundraiser for our local animal shelter! 🎁 Will you consider donating if you can? No amount is too small! 🥳 givebutter.com/mollys-birth...

As much as it succumbs to the "actually about trauma" thing, Backrooms also shares a weakness with the original webseries, which is that it's always scarier to leave a threat to the imagination

PSA: All six films in the Buster Keaton collection are leaving Criterion at the end of the month. Catch them while you can! #Filmsky 📽️🎞️🎬

If you lean toward noir, also note we are losing everything from Nordic Noir and 3 by Jacques Tourneur except for GIRL WITH HYACINTHS. That includes both the first Norwegian film directed by a woman (DEATH IS A CARESS) and my vote for best noir showcasing a national park (NIGHTFALL). #Filmsky 📽️🎞️🎬

this is art

One of the truest things ever said about Bari Weiss, bravo

Encouraging stuff here

If this is true — if it only took a judge demanding briefing and some light pushback — then it really shows how contemptibly cultish and cowardly the GOP was when most of them were fine with it.

BURN ME AT THE STAKE. TELL ALL YOUR FRIENDS lol.

This is actually a good pitch for @fitwr.bsky.social the podcast David is on and never talks about. It’s free.

I have non-fiction book coming out we’ve been writing since 2023 and my job in the trio is what this guy describes as ChatGPT’s job in his writing. I have an AI-free laptop to work on that project. My books will have zero inhuman hallucinations and just human facts. nymag.com/intelligence...

Happy Pride Month! May you find and cultivate the joy that drives you and your community. 💜

Conservative white Christian people still not bothered by taxpayer funded murder of nonwhite Christian people.

**a lot of people** are going to find out just how deeply entrenched the police-carceral state at every level of governance but especially blue cities. the change that reformers (like Mamdani) actually want, wont be realized for generations. this is a long haul and he only has 8 years.

"One thing that actually propelled actual US greatness after World War II was tying large scientific investments to a non-partisan, merit-based process. But that is not the way of Trump, who wants to extend tools of control and retribution over science." Trump is wrecking everything. Illuminating:
