Bingo. Corporate welfare is the real welfare you should be talking about.

The seven-year-old is going through a School House Rock fixation phase, and honestly, there are a lot of worse choices out there.

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video. I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children. But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

I really don’t understand why it’s so hard for certain people to understand that Mamdani is doing so well because he is advocating for more than “keep Trump from taking the few good and/or semi-decent things that remain” and is articulating a real vision for how to make New York better.

this genuinely feels like a moment history books will look back on where the Democratic Party was forced to either fix its hearts or die

Today at our No Kings protest my kiddo and I were holding up signs in between some women dressed as Handmaids and a guy dressed as the Goblin King from Labyrinth. It was surreal and wonderful.

Chant I made up that I am extremely amused by and you are free to use: “The people, inflated, will never be dissuaded!”

What a speaker. What a brave leader.

I’ve done the thing where every time I go to the store I wonder if we have tortillas and then figure you can never have too many tortillas and toss another 20-pack in the cart. Anyhow, now we have about 60 flour tortillas in the house. Anybody want to come over for burritos?

Every single one of these clips was taken today in downtown Portland. Portland doesn’t want or need a federal takeover. If Trump insists on sending federal “resources” he can start with funding health care, bridges, affordable housing, and wildfire protection to name a few.

reposting with alt text because I think the choice to include homophobia and transphobia in particular here is actually very much worth drawing attention to. nuns emphatically stating that those “do not reflect the qualities of a saint” is a very clear callout of Cardinal Dolan

My preteen used my email to sign up for Duolingo and now I am being threatened by an owl.

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

"I think the advice I would offer is to remember that leadership is a service role. Your job as a leader is to support the people who work for you, to protect them, to listen to them, & prioritize them." ARL Views with John Unsworth, UVA University Librarian 2016-2025 www.arl.org/blog/john-un...

I would rather schoolchildren not be murdered! Or people in houses of worship! Or people at dance clubs! Or at the mall! Or at parades! Or at protests! Or anywhere! What if no people were easily murdered because we treated guns as though they were lethal fucking weapons!

I don’t like it when people get shot on university campuses. Also, the person who was shot today made it easier for people to get shot, anywhere. I’m sick about it all.

i think some of what’s happening here is many cishet white leftists inadvertently revealing their belief that LGBTQ people only care about ourselves and that progressive policy is a zero-sum game. marginalized people who are accustomed to banding together for survival often don’t see it that way

They’re doing all this to prevent people from MEMORIALIZING A MASS SHOOTING

Gorgeous!

only so many words you can put in a headline but the whole response is loud and proud support for the trans community and worth reading

A succinct and catchy critical thinking lesson from one of my favorite authors.

A hunger strike at a South Florida immigration detention center state officials have named “Alligator Alcatraz” enters its tenth day, as detainees protest what they call inhumane and dangerous living conditions.

Fact check: technically correct, which is the best kind of correct.

My seven-year-old is attending Nature Day Camp this week. The kids all picked nature names. His nature name is Carbon.

Tonight at bedtime I learned that spiders are my seven-year-old’s fifth favorite animal.

• Mamdani is not in the country illegally • He does not have any connection to 9/11 or jihadist terrorism • Mamdani hasn’t actually said or done anything antisemitic • He did not call to ‘globalize the intifada’ • He’s not a communist

I want you to carefully think about what Republicans are telling you to cut millions of recipients from Medicaid and Medicare. They want you to believe millions of “perfectly healthy” people are lazily sitting around taking your money. Medicare and Medicaid are health benefits not welfare checks.

Our statement in response to the Supreme Court ruling in Mahmoud v Taylor. Image thread with alt text. 1/4

it's about time this party brought in a lineup that knows how to play offense

the best thing about this is the #ProudSonOfALesbian hashtag on his ig post

probably a good time to bring this back

This is a Hall of Fame reader comment on a very reactionary op-ed about Zohran Mamdani's victory that was published in my local paper today.

remember when they tried to present AOC as History’s Greatest Monster with this graphic? clearly they’re just running it back because that worked so well

We’re always excited to see garbage trucks going about their business. This morning the 7-yr-old said in a dreamy voice, “It takes the trash to the dump, which is where the flies dwell.” And then he thought a little more and said “Dumpheim is where the flies dwell.”

With everything LA has gone through in the last few months (and couple of years), let's celebrate the hatching of: TEN CALIFORNIA CONDORS!!!!!!!!! Congrats to the team at the Los Angeles Zoo!!!

i just find this so bizarre. searching through texts and doing the reading for myself is how i actually think through ideas! trying to put together a sentence is how i figure out what i actually want to say!

The following Kings are exempt from “No Kings”: Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Stephen King B.B. King Billie Jean King Burger King Sacramento Kings Los Angeles Kings WWE King of the Ring Mufasa Aragorn Elvis Presley

Despite warnings from the law enforcement not to attend today’s No Kings rally after this mornings shooting of Minnesota lawmakers with the killer on the lose, the No Kings Rally is happening at the Minnesota State Capitol in St. Paul.

This time-lapse video of protesters marching down Broadway in Oakland for No Kings Day gives an idea of how many people turned out today @sfchronicle.com

Shortly after the Atlanta #nokings event kicked off at 10, organizers said Liberty Plaza near the state Capitol had already reached maximum capacity of 5,000.

there’s got to be some kind of statute of limitations on this crap. I get moral hazard, I get all of that, it’s just completely insane to say that this guy who built an American life for 30 years isn’t American.

Senator Padilla was driven violently to his knees–as if made to kneel before the authority of the executive–because the administration called his questions “disrespectful”. This should offend not just the other 99 Senators. It should offend the conscience of this country.

it is not non-disruptive for people to be on a highway, it is not convenient for people to be on a highway, it is not especially safe for the people on the highway for people to be on the highway, but it is pretty damn peaceful to simply walk on taxpayer-funded infrastructure

good thing the national guard is there to keep this from getting out of hand

ICE crossed a line in LA
