Hey if you see an emotionally dysregulated perimenopausal woman driving down the road scream-singing Tori Amos and shoving one deviled egg after another into her mouth, mind your own business.

We’re up to 5 cases of screwworm. 4 in Texas (including a goat) & 1 is a family dog in New Mexico. This is really bad. This is what happens when we don’t have a functional government. Even after the cuts, screwworm could have been dealt with a year ago. Cuts plus inaction are why we’re here.

Hi! Are you a woman who still has her period? Is there a chance in hell of pregnancy? Don’t use tech to track your cycle. Are you trying to get pregnant? Don’t use tech to track your cycle. 1 in 4 pregnancies end w/miscarriage but red states are charging women who miscarry w/inducing abortion.

I hope it rains on his circus.

Republicans are out here losing R+11 districts in Florida and genuinely thought that MAGA Spencer Pratt had any chance to win in D+30 Los Angeles.

That’s one hell of a metaphor.

Holy shit. I don’t live in LA but I absolutely remember this b/c it was so messed up.

US military merger with Israel & IDF. Prop by Mike Rogers (R) & Adam Smith (D) “What Congress is trying to do now is find different ways of entrenching the relationship so deep in America’s own defense industrial base that it’s impossible to root out.” John Paul (Formerly w/the State Department)

Posted about this last week. It’s extremely concerning.

He hobbles off like he’s an evil old witch in a fairy tale. Also, anger usually boosts adrenaline which can increase physical strength in the minutes after. Trump has been aging rapidly this past year. I think it’s b/c something is v wrong.

Seriously, buy poetry. For all these reasons but also b/c poetry isn’t meant to be read on the internet. It’s art & to appreciate art, we have to be present. Poetry books, readings, it’s how we experience poetry as it was intended. It’s like standing in a museum & allowing art to make you feel.

@nickofferman.bsky.social is the best of us.

I missed this: the chair of the Michigan Republican Party is backing a statewide data center moratorium

This account posts lies and misinformation and potentially AI slop. Stop following it.

We quite literally have a whites only refugee program and somehow the media won’t call the Administration white supremacists.

PLEASE SHARE. TX ELECTION. We have a crucial runoff in Denton Texas. Info in thread. VOTE for GEORGE FERRIE & BRIAN BECK. George Ferrie is up against (MAGA) Erica Garland. General had a 5% turnout & 100 vote differential. If we show up & ask our friends & family to do the same, We Will WIN. 🧵 1/5

"After a marathon 18-hour vote, Senate Republicans advanced roughly $70 billion in funding for immigration enforcement agencies that had been carved out of an earlier funding deal to reopen the rest of the Department of Homeland Security." www.npr.org/2026/06/05/n...

I was diagnosed with ADHD a few yrs ago & since then we’ve noticed a lot of my weirdness points to autism. My husband often teases me “quiet as a mouse” isn’t quiet enough. I’m auditory & hypersensitive to certain sounds. Live music quiets my brain but certain frequencies & volumes are too loud.

“There may be.” FFS. Forget the flags. I have a literal masters degree in public health, I’m an actual union leader (in my second term as chapter president,) I’m a college professor, and a reproductive health advocate. And people are quibbling over if he abused his exes enough to be disqualifying.

I never thought I’d be in politics either. And you know what I’ve been up to? Working in a local food bank, making art for nonprofit auctions, and volunteering on a board for homelessness relief.

Elected officials who have been wary about supporting a data center moratorium, take note: 61% of Americans now support one. Get more from @jael.bsky.social in THE FIGHT: heatmap.news/plus/the-fig...

Article warning consumers are dipping into savings to buy a big macs says “Get ready” & then gives helpful tips like “Invest in GOLD” to fight inflation. With what MONEY? 😂 If corp are freaking out b/c no one has any money, perhaps the advice should be something more realistic than INVEST IN GOLD.

The problem with late stage capitalism is eventually you run out of poor people's money

Update: SoFi workers have voted 96% in favor of authorizing a strike, "meaning workers could walk off the job at any moment if their demands are not met." Negotiations continue Monday — but the first World Cup game at SoFi is one week from today

It’s not a flock. It’s also not a band or a troop. It’s a herd of wild horses. (It’s also a beautiful photo)

It's been a brutal two weeks in Chicagoland with ICE pointing guns and tasers, multiple car crashes, violent arrests and a significant uptick in detainments overall. Feds continue to stalk courthouses across multiple counties. Today, agents were also seen at the rideshare lots at O'Hare.

JD Vance offers remarks on the Hampshire Nowak killing that are perfectly coordinated with those of Nigel Farage, Elon Musk and Peter Thiel. It's clear that they all aim to stoke violence in England, as part of a scheme to topple the Starmer government. Starmer calls them out on this.

A few mo’s ago I learned someone slightly outside our network had domestic violence charges. My husband said he’d heard rumors & I said I’d hoped for better here. He said “We wish we were better but outside of our close friends, we’re not. This keeps happening & they keep protecting the men.”

a leftist woman will have at least seven moments of realization in her lifetime when it becomes clear her leftist comrades are also misogynistic assholes

Those staying with 60 Minutes will no longer be considered trusted voices in journalism. They are not simply staying with a bad owner. They are staying with a network whose intent is to broadcast propaganda for the regime. They will become propagandists.

"L'etat c'est moi," doesn't sound any better 400 years later.

A story I love about Anthony Stewart Head. Thank you to this person for sharing it on Tumblr. What a mensch.

Giles was the first unproblematic feminist ally I witnessed in media. He was the opposite of toxic masculinity & his character taught me men like this exist. Anthony Head made the world a little better.

I have concerns that Democratic strategists who hang out all day engaging on a platform designed to promote fascism may not be provide the best advice.

pretty convincing www.unpopularfront.news/p/graham-pla...

Every Bluesky exec should start every interview with a comparison of the engagement of the accounts of the interviewer/their news org on Bluesky, X, and Threads. Because it so quickly demonstrates how successful Bluesky is, despite its age and underdog status. It's also an ad for the platform.

Susan Collins is trending because a bunch of outsiders who don’t live in Maine are pretending this is a general vs. a primary. What is a Primary? It’s the process by which we choose our front runner. Platner isn’t the only Progressive but also, it’s not my call. What a complete & utter mess.

There’s been a lot of talk in this race about what makes a "real man." A man does what’s right when no one is watching. He upholds his commitments to his family and neighbors. He doesn’t lie, cheat, & steal his way through life. Real men serve others. Weak men serve themselves.

“it is time to fight back” just feels like a weird way to talk about stamping out a peasant revolt

“Evil company does evil shit” shouldn’t be surprising to anyone but the necessity of pieces like this one is b/c far too much of the US public doesn’t think about privacy in terms of surveillance. Not all tech is good & much of it & is being used against us. It’s building our own prisons.

“It’s time to fight back” on the side of fascism. Socialism is a “me first” philosophy. “Illiberal” leftism. I’m sorry, what? Next up: “The young people want livable wages but @ what cost to our benevolent Oligarchs?” Anyone over @ The Economist willing to take credit for this garbage?

“She’s so contrary she floats up-stream.”

Politics can be a team sport on behalf of the city we love. (I’ll leave the no-look passes to the Knicks for the rest of the series).

31% of Democrats polled said being transgender is "morally wrong". Five years ago it would have been a fraction of that. The propaganda is working, the silence from Democrats is deafening, & all of this is why every step backward can't go ignored for even a moment. news.gallup.com/poll/710810/...

My fellow @housedemocrats.bsky.social who visited the Delaney Hall ICE detention facility in New Jersey have reported deplorable conditions, including food infested with maggots and no medical care, even for one detainee suffering from colon cancer. (1/2) apnews.com/article/immi...

Thread on screwworm. Note the date. Once again, a functional Gov would have stopped this.

There was a great @radiolab.bsky.social piece on screwworms a few months ago, on how we eradicated them from the us in the first place.

But Trump ran on bringing down food prices! So on Feb 1 2025, he re-opened US ports to cattle imports from Mexico. Then in March, he canceled a screwworm monitoring program. So we have even less info on where it is & how serious it's getting. www.agri-pulse.com/articles/226...
