Laverne please stop talking about that fucking cop. Or fucking that cop. Both. Enough.

it is the elite mac & cheese noodle!

One of these? Because yes, also.

no, thank you. 🙏🏾

No?

i am at the demure age where i have a pre-stand before standing. it's like a little starter stand if you will. try to get up, body says hell no, then try again and succeed the second time. might even get a grunt or expressive exhale to accompany it. 👵🏾

Yooooo remember a couple years ago when those three LA city council members were caught on tape saying a ton of insanely racist stuff and conspiring to gerrymander another council member’s district? That other council member was Nithya Raman. The voting bloc they were trying to split? Renters.

BREAKING: WASHINGTON (AP) - Divided appeals court panel rules Trump administration policy illegally banned transgender troops from military service.

#Darrington, #WA: 21y/o Jakhobi was last seen on May 16 leaving a family's property headed into the mountains wearing a rain jacket. He had a flashlight and machete with him as well. Have you seen him? Please SHARE to #HelpUsFindJakhobiHale #JakhobiHale #HelpUsFindUs

Gross to imply violence by using the deceptive word "armed" in "armed with helmets, shields, or gas masks" and then say "we remain firmly committed to protecting the right to peaceful protest." By all accounts, this WAS a peaceful protest. You didn't protect anyone's rights; you violated them.

“He was literally just talking” Hey @mikiesherrill.bsky.social u up?

The EEOC is seeking to overturn rules created decades ago to tackle discrimination in employment. The Trump administration says those rules have led to more discrimination —against white people. n.pr/4xj3rG7

"It comes after a Waymo was seen fleeing police and speeding through a San Francisco construction zone and after striking a child near a Santa Monica elementary school earlier this year." patch.com/california/a...

Hey remember when Trump said he didn’t know what Project 2025 was and the super serious mainstream media swallowed it? 😕🤷🏼

This is an absolutely terrifying escalation by the regime. They have now criminalized our freedom to fight the crimes they commit against us and our neighbors. These protesters acted with extraordinary courage and moral clarity.

NEW: ICE agent Christian Castro was arrested in Texas today on a warrant from Minnesota. Castro is charged with four felony assault counts for shooting into a house during Operation Metro Surge. He's the only one out of 25 LEO's that shot someone in MN over the last six months that's been charged.

A lot of my friends are impacted. This is what it means to run college like a business when the prevailing business strategy is modeled on private equity, leveraged buy-outs and contemptible short-sightedness.

Truly low turnout in some counties in South Texas. In Starr County, Trump got roughly 9,500 votes in 2024. 90 votes counted in the GOP runoff today. In Webb County, Trump got roughly 33,300 votes in 2024. Roughly 2,300 voters today.

Reminder: You deserve rest. Rest doesn’t need to be earned. Rest isn’t a reward for a job well done. Your body has been good to you. Give yourself the rest you deserve. Decline the invite. Say no to the request. Don’t add another thing to your to do list. Go lay your ass down.

Wed marked exactly 9yrs since Sophie Reeder vanished. To bring her case back into light, her episode of #UntoldStoriesBlackAndMissing exposes the systemic injustices that so often dismiss our missing children rather than getting them the immediate urgency they deserve.

He abused a third grader for three years. I hope he has to look over his shoulder for the rest of his short life.

NEW: Mayor Zohran Mamdani plans to lower the rent for some of the poorest New Yorkers.

AI always calling your ideas “fantastic” can feel inauthentic, but what are sycophancy’s deeper harms? We find that in the common use case of seeking AI advice on interpersonal situations—specifically conflicts—sycophancy makes people feel more right & less willing to apologize.

They had contracts for prison labor at these camps?? Before they even bought them? www.projectsaltbox.com/p/contracts-...

this is NPRs second post, within the hour, about AI and an industry. the other one was about mental health professionals.

We owe each other a lot. The social contract relies on our exchange of goodwill. Without that it all collapses.

@steampowered.com is still selling Plantation Simulator. Original version: whip Black people to death for profit. After backlash: developer swapped Black people for white women in bikinis. No apology. Just a rebrand. Steam's response? Silence. The game is still up. This is a choice.

Fuck cancer, forever and always.

People in southern Lebanon are living under "psychological terror" from Israeli air attacks and displacement orders https://aje.news/e5132d

OP-ED: "There is a growing feeling in Bedford-Stuyvesant that the people who built this community are steadily losing their claim to it. The rise in #deedtheft is not incidental to Brooklyn’s transformation. It is one of its clearest warning signs."

The totally illegal politicization of the federal civil service is under way, starting with people in the most senior roles. This is dangerous, and I truly believe people are going to die because of this politicization. When it reaches lower ranks, it will also be union busting.

"According to Velloso, less than 3% of paying users actively use Copilot, even though Microsoft has pre-deployed it directly into the Windows 11 taskbar and across the Office suite." lol, lmfao

I... feel like the importance of voting (group conscience) has been hijacked and turned into a gladiator sport. Them attempting (succeeding) to steal people's votes is important because it shows how wealthy straight white Christian males are the only people covered under the Constitution.

There was a water emergency near me and I got a good look into how much water it takes to live daily. TURN THOSE DATA CENTERS OFF!

Governor Kemp just called a special session for June 17 to redraw Georgia's congressional maps before 2028. Republicans want a GOP governor to sign these maps into law before they risk losing the governor's mansion. This is a power grab happening in real time. https://bit.ly/4uljxg8

I remember when ole girl said Black folks needed to start their own prisons. I knew then the plot was as lost as Pam Oliver’s wig game.

we're in a literacy crisis.

Are we supposed to believe SCOTUS read 107 pages — 26,000 words — conferred, voted and wrote a dissent in half an hour? The fix was already in. www.al.com/news/2026/05...

Words are hard.

Chicago! Where do we go from here? Join us for a wide-ranging conversation with @keeanga.bsky.social and @underthetreepod.bsky.social at at Haymarket House Friday, May 15th at 7:00 pm RSVP to attend:

🔥REP. @justinjpearson.bsky.social to @katiecouric.bsky.social: “They rigged the maps, now they’ll rig them even more because Trump doesn’t want to be impeached…most focus on congress, but ~200 majority-Black STATE seats may be eviscerated…if you’re not actively fighting you’re part of the problem.”

And we’re told thinking this is wrong makes us “COmmUniStS” (By people who don’t even realize they’re being used by this 1%👇🏽)

At this rate, by next year the only actual majority opinion the Court drops will be a tense, singe sentence. "Because fuck you, that's why."

Zuri’s dancing to Solange because she’s whimsical like that. ✨ I’ll introduce Zuri’s mom next week! ❤️ BY THE WAY, 137 days until book launch! O Holy Night comes out on September 22nd, y’all! Can’t wait to share Zuri and her family and their holiday joy in picture book form. 🎄
