Anybody out there doing cool microhistories and/or oral histories of “craft” food industry workers? Think coffee roasters/baristas, distillery workers, artisanal bakery workers, cheesemongers, etc. Curious about ongoing projects and how folks are approaching them.

Mr Mamdani why won’t you tell the people of New York where the Hidden Imam is and when he will return?

the destruction of chattel slavery is one of the great accomplishments in our nation's history and the reason conservatives hate celebrating it is because doing so legitimizes the black counter-narrative of the united states

I need y'all to understand what the NYT, Dem donors, and centrists are doing here. They're pushing the narrative that trans people went too far and we deserve what is happening to us. It's pure victim blaming and it's not done yet, there's a Confessore piece in the works with the same framing.

Universal cat distribution system dropped another little one in our laps yesterday just before the storm hit. The kids named him Pancake. He’s three months old and a little underweight, but is otherwise healthy, active, and super sociable.

They were all successfully purged following the first administration. Equally alarming is that the same process took place across the entire GOP and at every level of government. They are all thralls to the dear leader.

Israel is using the war on Iran to further its colonization and annexation of the West Bank, turning Palestinian communities into caged enclaves. mondoweiss.net/2025/06/how-...

Liberation must be collective, prosperity mutual, and security shared. We’re all in this together. We must all lift the boot off our necks and tell it in one voice, “No more. We can and will do better.” It’s Juneteenth. Honor those who came before us in the struggle by recommitting to our own.

Starting to think you miscreants are waging a clandestine war on fun punctuation; first the em dash, now the Oxford comma? You’ll have to pry the semicolon from my cold, dead hands.

Instead of sending expensive American jets to bomb a far away country, can’t we just fix our airports. I am sitting on another delayed flight. But hey there’s always money for war. What a joke.

Listening to the drumbeat for war from every quarter was rattling. I was 16 and marched in New York that February with a bunch of classmates. None of us bought the bogus WMD arguments and we were pilloried for it. It was an education I’ll never forget and what got me into politics.

There are no distractions. It's all bad. Systematically stripping trans people of their rights, guys in balaclavas shoving any brown person with a tattoo into a ummarked vans, ending healthcare for millions. It's all in service of fascism and technofeudalism. It's all one thing. That's the point.

Justice Sotomayor's dissent in Skrmetti (which she's now reading from the bench) is deeply pained, accusing her colleagues of abandoning "transgender children and their families to political whims" and badly damaging "bedrock" principles of equal protection. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

Even as a brewer and an avid fan of fermented beverages in all their forms, this is insanely irresponsible.

It’s that time again. 6-3 decision upholding a TN gender-affirming care ban and calling it non-discriminatory. Brutal.

Having actually read transcripts from closed-door AIPAC, DMFI, and WINEP meetings, you get a different picture of what pro-Israel advocacy looks like than the common public perception. In those meetings, everyone admits that it is now often wiser avoid the topic of Israel if you're pro-Israel.

Hi, this is Meg Barnette, Brad's wife. While escorting a defendant out of immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza, Brad was taken by masked agents and detained by ICE. This is still developing, and our team is monitoring the situation closely.

Never has it been clearer that “no one is free until Palestine is free” is not a chant but a warning, as we all stare into the abyss of another world war.

A “shift” never happened. A chaotic raid at a worksite and a warrantless sweep in our communities have the same outcome. Bullshit rhetoric aside, they’re hunting us down while we’re trying to feed you. Who’s actually in charge?

From a military perspective this is all very simple: we couldn’t win a war with Iraq. We will not win a war with Iran.
