There is a ton that I hate about this timeline, but if you had told me as a brown girl in Trinidad who was raised by her chutney-playing late maternal grandparents that a future NYC mayoral candidate would have tassa drums beating during his walk to a debate, I would have doubted your ass galore! 🤣

"republicans weren't racist in early aughts" [laughs in post-9/11-brown-person]

The conversation between Klein and Coates showed me that a lot of people who screech about “infighting” on the left aren’t aware of the fact that marginalized people have been forced to learn how to regulate their emotions during conflict, and so, are better able to hear what’s actually being said.

Jane Goodall was not only a pioneering primatologist, she also campaigned more relentlessly and selflessly for the natural world than anyone I know. A great soul if ever there was one www.theguardian.com/science/2025...

Most generously considered, what is happening with your Ezra Kleins and even your David Frenches of the world is to attempt to broker a compromise between racists and anti-racists, bigots and anti-bigots that might leave things stable for those who prioritize stability over racism or anti-racism.

Kimmel is back! Now leverage that same "power of the people" to encourage the show to make all of his guests for the next few weeks people who have been recently fired in the same situation. Karen Attiah would make for an amazing start to this, y'know? 💖 (No, I'm not watching a 30 min monologue.)

It's #TANKMAIN Tuesday, and this time we take on Henry Halfhead! It's an adorable game full of chaos and, as is apparently a theme for @spacevalkyries.bsky.social and I, throwing things out of windows. youtu.be/y8NAjFXeHxw

my favorite subgenre of Halloween decoration is “skeleton of things that absolutely do not have skeletons”

Our Kickstarter campaign is now coming September 29th! Turns out Halloween is busy (who knew)—and with our co-founders' schedules, it makes more sense to end the campaign on October 29th instead of the 31st! That’s VERY SOON! We are VERY EXCITED! In the meantime: follow our pre-launch campaign? 👀

The legal profession is at a crossroads. Trump’s power grab has ICE stopping delivery drivers in DC. This is repression, not safety. Lawyers must stand with movements fighting for true democracy. Read our 10 best practices: movementlawlab.org/10best

The Palestinian-led BDS movement has updated our priority targets, pressure targets and organic campaign targets.

Pritzker and Walz have reasonable criticisms, like they are too rich or not rich enough, whereas Newsom has cartoon evil criticisms, like he throws away homeless people's wheelchairs.

New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!

People underestimate joy as a political resource. It pisses off all the right people & allows us to move toward practically imaginative solutions.It’s powerful to say, as Mamdani does&others should,I love these people/this place&we’re going to make it thrive.Political version of twirling on haters.
