What an achievement!

It is core to the nature of reactionary politics that its adherents *always* conceive of themselves as aggrieved victims, no matter how much power they amass. It's a permission structure for their own lawlessness & violence.

There are exactly three known species of sea dragons, all of which are found only in the coastal waters of southern and western Australia. They are close relatives of seahorses, known for their elaborate camouflage and graceful, drifting movements. This is the Weedy sea dragon

Beautiful inside and out. The repeated attempts to demean Michelle Obama say nothing about her and everything about the people making those comments.

We all make choices and this is his.

Thanks for sharing these, @debharneyevans.bsky.social and @mountainman14.bsky.social My Montana girl playlist is getting an update!

Memorial Day asks something simple of us: remember. Remember the service members who lost their lives, the families who carry that loss every day, and the responsibility we all share to never treat that sacrifice lightly.

One of the many sources cited in the new papal encyclical is... Gandalf

A government of shallow, glib sociopaths striving to get an "Attaboy" from other shallow, glib sociopaths.

Trump did not reach a settlement with the government. There was no case to settle. He has not created a slush fund. He has colluded with Todd Blanche to steal money from the US Treasury. This is not a “deal.” This is a crime for which Trump & Blanche must be prosecuted. It ia a crime.

this is a masterpiece

I spoke with @theguardian.com about #Backtalker, the moment we’re living through now, and why we can never stop speaking up and speaking out. The backlash to racial justice and inclusion we are experiencing now is a direct result of the power of our ideas. Read the full article below!

Never met Tony Peters, don’t know who he is, but a million years ago on Facebook he posted this and I don’t think anyone’s ever put it better.

The comments do not disappoint. 😂

The seven countries widely cited as generating ~100% of their electricity from renewable sources are: Iceland Paraguay Norway Albania Bhutan Nepal Democratic Republic of the Congo

“If they can automatically enroll men into the draft at 18, they can automatically register Americans to vote at 18. Ask yourself why they won’t” Josh H.

On January 1, 2025, a Cybertruck exploded in front of Trump Hotel in Las Vegas. It was weird, and it seemed like everyone quickly forgot about it. But I couldn’t. My latest feature for @highcountrynews.org is out now. www.hcn.org/issues/58-4/...

Ashley Fairbanks @ziibiing.com launched Stand With Minnesota standwithminnesota.com, a mutual aid repository supporting residents under ICE's siege, in early Jan. in the weeks since, it's facilitated covering people's rents and flown folks detained back home from Texas. she can help you do it, too.

What's more shocking than ICE's plan to cram as many 8,500 humans into massive, soul-crushing warehouses? Seeing the actual DHS floor plan that echoes slavery ships and history's worst gulags with no rec space but a gun range for guards My new column on the camps www.inquirer.com/opinion/ice-...

We are deciding right now whether we want to be a country with ethnic cleansing and concentration camps.

This is lovely. Every child deserves this. Not concentration camps and terror.

The other day I bitched that people always forget LaMonica McIver in their list of politicized prosecutions. The New Yorker has a profile here, so hopefully we can change that. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

Free people read freely. “Protecting truth often begins with someone refusing to let it be removed silently.” @ifrt-ala.bsky.social @uabookbans.bsky.social @la-cac.org

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

Hmmmm.

Terrific story about Rob Reiner being as much of a mensch in real life as he seemed.

All our lives would have been much more difficult without the support we received and I know that we’ve been lucky. It shouldn’t have to come down to luck - as a society we can afford to help each other. It’s just that an awful lot of rich and powerful people don’t believe we should.

This should be a public service announcement Just sayin’🤷‍♀️

The Wellington Sea Shanty Society (a band rather than a society, ironically) did an album in collaboration with a group of French shanty singers where they do bilingual shanties. It's really cool! wellingtonseashantysociety.bandcamp.com/album/ahoy

those of us laid off from Teen Vogue were really fortunate to complete our fundraising goal — the laid-off staffers at VIBE deserve the same support, as Black media outlets and journalists continue to be targeted and discriminated against in “austerity” measures

Please share!💔

Thank you, Eloise.

My #SuperlativeCannedGoo tweet from the old place is making rounds again. Support co-op cranberry growers!

I’m saving this to enjoy later.

Says here everyone in New York City will now be assigned an aloof wife

If you don’t know Lina Khan, now is a great time to know about her. She’s now on Zohran Mamdani’s transition team. She’s also the former FTC Chair, only 36, & committed to leveling the playing field for everyday Americans. She is an absolute star. This is what hope feels like.

thank you for the outpouring of support! those of us laid off from Teen Vogue yesterday are now sharing our GoFundMe to help us cover our emergency expenses now that we've lost our incomes, as we get back on our feet.

bsky.app/profile/bubb... 91 yr old Ms. Glorie has a thing or two to say to Scott Jennings. @cnn.com

Don't have quite the right words but devastated for the brilliant people who made Teen Vogue what it was, selfishly devastated as a freelancer and columnist, and devastated for readers, who deserve the kind of work Teen Vogue published.

What he said Part 2: 💯 🎯

I agree with you @jamellebouie.net. @tressiemcphd.bsky.social has hit all of the points out of all of the ballparks.

I love to see it💞

Take a break from whatever you are scrolling through and read this review. He did not exaggerate. It is superbly charming.

Wow, science is amazing.

SHE’S BACK
