new metaphor just dropped

Israel drops the world’s biggest non nuclear bomb on Lebanon. Corporate media is silent. The United States must hold these war criminals accountable.

I'm at home in Brooklyn with my two very young kids and ConEd has reduced our power because of the heat wave. Our lights don't work and AC is minimal. Also, there's a celebrity wedding in midtown right now and I'm unaware of any reports that they're going without.

Some people are putting it all on the line.

Do white USians wonder how it feels like for non-white people to live in a country where the President is a full on racist white supremacist? Like where he announces every single day that you are inferior, unintelligent, and need to be eliminated from the country?

An amazing endorsement for @elienyc.bsky.social.

I wrote about the Supreme Court's latest disgusting anti-trans ruling. I wrote about it because I refuse to act like taking away constitutional rights and allowing legal discrimination is okay just because it's happening to people who don't poll well in a diner in Ohio. In @thenation.com

Everybody in the "climate space" (which means everyone on earth...) needs to understand these mind-blowing figures. Google's "total electricity consumption jumped from 31 terawatt hours (TWh) in 2024 to 43 TWh in 2025." In ONE year. The AI corporate arms race is eating the world.

Great news everyone! New Jersey finally passed a trans healthcare shield law. It becomes the final blue state left to pass such a law. This will help fight back against out of state subpoenas targeting gender-affirming care providers and patients. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Captain Lyr is her dying planet's favorite punching bag. Her ship is malfunctioning, and the only one willing to hire her is her ex's new girlfriend. Between pirates, tsunamis, and catching feelings, saving the world from another asteroid might be the easiest task yet. #A #SF #QueerPit #OnSubmission

22 House Democrats just voted with the GOP to kill a resolution from Rashida Tlaib to restrict the U.S. from assisting Israeli military operations in Lebanon.

The thing I think a lot about the US is we're supposed to endure unspeakable horrors but never react to them in socially maladaptive ways.

This is bone-chilling. A conservative hedge fund manager wants to require little girls to pass genital inspections for their “safety.” And it’s only for girls’ sports. There’s a clear link between transphobia and child sexual abuse.

“Hello, my name is Anthony Antichrist, and here is my heretical interpretation of the Bible.”

People, for the love of God, please stop treating birthright as some kind of sweeping victory. It was 5-4 on the constitutional issue. The dissent laid out a fucking ROADMAP for what Trump should do next. The court always gives Trump multiple bites at the apple WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU HAPPY ABOUT?

i love being trans and i love all my trans friends

Trans beloveds, take some time off the internet if you need to. Clarence Thomas is a piece of shit sexual harasser with literally no good opinions. You are better than him in every way that counts.

The Supreme Court ruled that political parties can spend unlimited amounts of money in coordination with candidates

Birthright Citizenship is in. The court strikes down Trump's executive order. It's 6-3, with Roberts, the liberals, Kav and ACB. Thomas, Alito, and Gorsuch dissent.

holy shit birthright citizenship is out, and the Court did do wtf it was supposed to do, but it was outrageously, unconscionably close 5-4? 5-4 to uphold BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP? this is galling honestly www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

fuck these motherfuckers for real

FROM SCOTUS: Children born in the United States to parents unlawfully or temporarily present are "subject to the jurisdiction" of the United States and are citizens at birth under the Fourteenth Amendment's Citizenship Clause.

Trump can fire the heads of the FTC, the National Labor Relations Board, the Merit Systems Protection Board, and the Consumer Product Safety Commission or anything that limits what big corporations can do, but for goodness sake, leave the stock market alone. ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/trump...

I do not think there is sufficient appreciation for how catastrophic yesterday’s decision in Slaughter is for this country. As Justice Sotomayor said in her dissent and she intoned from the bench yesterday, “today the majority reshapes our Govt.”

Here it is, after years of having this shot in my head, chasing the murder the night before the full Moon: dozens of crows flying in front of the Moon, my first edit. 🪶

These cowardly chuckleheads will destroy the Internet and put children and the marginalized right in harms way rather than go after the oligarchs and do some actual good.

The House has passed KOSA. It now heads to the Senate, where this version, at least, faces an uphill battle. That said, get on the horn and call your legislators. NOW.

if a person is sentenced to 100 years in prison for being anti fascist in america then america is a fascist country

"More than 20,000 kids killed in Gaza during the genocide. That is 2% of all children in Gaza ... It absolutely shocks the conscience that the world let this continue," Omar Shakir told @lbc.co.uk, after a new UN report found that Israel committed genocide in Gaza and deliberately targeted children.

The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights has called for prompt, independent investigations into deaths in US immigration custody, and said that families have rights to truth, justice, reparations, and guarantees that abuses will not recur. 🧵

Unless they give cusomters full refunds this should honestly be straight up illegal.

In his decision for SCOTUS published this morning, Justice Alito dismissed the idea that the Trump administration would halt all asylum seekers as a mere "hypothetical" not even worth considering.

The Colorado river water system is collapsing, and a data center operator is suing to consume even more water. Unreal. www.kpbs.org/news/environ...

If this is the Democratic Establishment that you are asking us to save and strengthen, then please know the rest of us will do everything to burn it to the ground and replace it with something much better.

I very much appreciate this statement of solidarity by Muslims for Just Futures about the Prairieland Sentencing. www.muslimsforjustfutures.org/blog/mjfstat...

Nope.

If you look at Des’s face and think they look like a lovely human being, you are 100% correct. Absolute sweetheart who deserves none of this. None of them do.

AOC— as she often does— gets it.

Ah, well.

It's so simple but it was such a revelation when I first understood it. What are conservatives trying to conserve? White supremacy, patriarchy, and class hierarchy. It clarifies so much.

“A growing share of Americans who are killed—one in ten—are dying at the hands of police.”

Like, dude is failing at a whole damn WAR WITH IRAN. But you think messing up the Reflecting Pool is what’s gonna bring down his house of cards????? Be fucking for real.

Where do I send in my application to be a paid protestor wearing a pink frog suit and holding up a sign about algae?

Israel kills ‘a child a day’ on average in Gaza alone "Many civil society and aid organisations in Gaza and the West Bank have been labelled 'terrorists' by pro-Israel groups or politicians, the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child warned ... noting that their absence leaves children vulnerable.

Writing a first draft is hard, but anyone who thinks there's a shortcut available in slop doesn't know how creating works. Doing the hard part is where the wild and unique things happen. Where the creation of an immersive experience for the reader happens. Where the soul happens. 16/17

"The Americans can't get the slime out of their capital's monument pool and will arrest you for touching it," sounds like the sort of lie they'd tell us in the Soviet Union so we'd stop bitching about bread lines.
