RIP Mark Rothko. You would have loved how the hydrogen peroxide bleach is only turning the Reflecting Pool blue around the perimeter

I don’t know why y’all are surprised about Sen. Corey Booker.

NEW: For more than two decades, a sheriff in a rural but large North Carolina county has faced accusations of racial profiling and racist statements against Latino residents. He's typically avoided major electoral challenges; but he faces a pastor-turned-sheriff-candidate this fall. Our story:

Damn. These crashes are rare. My sincerest condolences to the families.

Black history. Indigenous history. LGBTQ+ history. Slavery. Climate science. Labor history. Civil rights. These stories are not optional. They are part of the American story. We will not let them be erased from our national parks. #America433 #Juneteenth #HarpersFerry #ProtectPublicMemory

Five years ago tonight, authorities in Minneapolis violently cleared barricades at the protest site for Winston Smith who was killed by a federal task force on June 3, 2021. Police arrested dozens of people & injured several others. This was 2 days after a car attack at the site killed Deona Marie.

A24….hmmmm

Days after a one-man anti-Kremlin protest in Berlin with an icon-like caricature of Stalin and Putin, Russian artist Semyon Skrepetsky was gunned down in a Polish city near the Belarusian border. meduza.io/en/news/2026...

Writers, what software are we using to write with now, especially long form? I’m dusting off my keyboard and don’t want to use Google Docs or Word since both those companies had scrape users for their AI. I used to have a license for something called Scrivner or Scriber. Recs?

In case no veteran has pointed this out to you, I will. This is NOT regular order. I feel obligated to get kind of loud about how NOT REGULAR ORDER this is. This is a VERY BAD THING.

❗️FBI is reaching out to people who were previously arrested by NJSP during protests outside Delaney Hall. Some have received phone calls or door knocks. National Lawyers Guild is spreading an advisory for people to contact their hotline if feds come knocking:

Love the Knicks, but a reminder of how the Garden’s ownership approaches security.

Shortly after she moved to a house on the outskirts of town without a sidewalk. If I can kick her out of her house, I can kick her out of the Senate. ✊🏼

WOW. The New Jersey AG has charged an Essex County Prosecutor’s Office sergeant for allegedly stealing a photojournalist’s camera equipment while the journo was at a hospital being treated for injuries she suffered outside Delaney Hall. The bag had an air tag and was tracked to the cop's house.

ICE is kidnapping people in my neighborhood. Stole someone from his car as he and his wife pulled into the grocery store parking lot.

there's a real feeling of like...if a man did something horrible to me or someone i know that guys like this just wouldn't fucking care

My daughter is working at this academic summer camp for low-income kids in New Haven & they're raising money to feed the kids—breakfast, lunch, & snack. They're getting a 3-to-1 match, so if you give $20, you're putting $60 worth of food in kid's mouths. Thanks! secure.qgiv.com/event/hgd202...

I watched a judge process cases of unaccompanied children so fast that I started to time them. Most took 2-3 minutes. I'm writing about it for @prospect.org now.

Please keep Ukraine in your thoughts. Kyiv is under a massive attack by terrorist Russia. And as always the terrorists bomb civilian homes

congrats, @mikiesherrill.bsky.social, you get to join the world's most brutal autocrats in the history books for having turned your pigs hog wild on, not just protesters, but journalists too

Truthout and Haymarket Books are turning 25! Join @neginowl.bsky.social, Maha Hilal, Khury Petersen-Smith & me tomorrow to discuss the lessons of recent history for our current anti-imperial struggles.

Yes, let’s dismantle American science right now.

Immigrants detained inside Delaney Hall, the notorious Newark, NJ, facility demand freedom. They have stopped eating & working to draw attention to inhumane conditions, @taliajane.bsky.social reports on the ground.

All the pre-ABC’s Nashville Nashvillians outing themselves. The glory of the Bill Boner days and the launching of The Boner Awards! The Gold Dust burrito plate! How many people wept like a baby at the opening bars of True Believer?

periodic reminder that bill de blasio basically stopped fighting with the nypd after they kidnapped his daughter and publicly threatened her you tell them no and they tell you they're the ones with the guns

If your deviled eggs don’t have heat, they aren’t deviled. They are dressed eggs. Heat is why they are called deviled eggs. Do not argue with me. I’m unemployed and a 12th generation southerner. I have all day and I’m stubborn AF.

The arch obscures Lincoln and frames Lee’s plantation. That’s not bad taste, it’s the Lost Cause made architectural. Seize the narrative, then seize the sightline. The Confederacy lost the war and spent 160 years winning the story. Now they’re pouring it in concrete.

sorry for #political posting so much today but like, there are so many of these little "tiny" things that in and of themselves will get lost in the tidal wave of corrupt shit going on right now, it is impossible to keep track of them all, there's so many, but that's by design

Pray-away-the-gay activist turns out to be a closeted child molester. WHO could have predicted? (oh everyone)

Yeah I’m gonna need people in TX-35 to vote for Johnny Garcia in next week’s primary run off. This is fucking disgusting and absolutely disqualifying for Maureen Galindo.
