watched Freaky with our kid as one does on Friday the 13th

ICE racially profiles Native Americans, the People of the First Nation, the real citizens of America! They look as if they regret pulling these wonderful ladies over. They get an earful.

One of my many fears is that the next Democratic president will spend too much time talking about "the importance of not dwelling on the past" instead of prosecuting every single one of the people responsible for this nightmare.

I went to Michael’s in Glendale on Wednesday to pick up some poster board - I got the last 5 pieces of white poster board (buying for friends).

As I understand it, to block Cuomo, it's critical for everyone to fill out all five slots with non-Cuomo candidates. Here's Mamdani's (very fun) video explaining it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=NFGk...

Guess who will be here on June 28 and 29? I will be!

May his pig never grunt, may his cat never hunt May a ghost ever haunt him the dead of the night May his hens never lay, may his horse never neigh May his coat fly away like an old paper kite That the flies and the fleas may the wretch ever tease May the piercin' March breeze make him shiver & shake

Per WSJ, U.S. negotiations with Iran were actually a cover to buy time for Israel's attack. Would you ever enter into negotiations with the U.S. knowing this?

A person with measles visited Boston. We're working with local partners to notify those who may have been exposed to measles. Unvaccinated individuals who have been exposed should contact their healthcare provider immediately. Learn more at boston.gov/measles.

I can't tell you how invigorating and inspiring and hopeful it is to be in a crowd of people who also care. Took a group of teens to the last big protest and they were most struck by no longer feeling alone. If you're able to go, I encourage you to try. Get a group of friends & go together.

FYI, Kwiksticks tempera paint sticks are water-resistant in that they'll last through a rainy protest, but they will smear a bit. You can cover posters with packing tape (front and back!) to laminate if needed. Sharpies, of course, are waterproof.

The Marines can detain "people who pose a threat to federal personnel or property" and were at the Wilshire Federal Building. Army vet Marcos Leao was going to the Dept. of Veteran Affairs, which is inside the Wilshire Federal Building. So they saw a brown guy and assumed he was a threat?

While ICE kidnaps families, Israel wipes them out. “A poem by a young Iranian poet Parnia Abbasi who, along with her family, all civilians, was killed today in a brutal and unlawful Israeli attack in the Sattarkhan neighbourhood of Tehran.” www.pamenarpress.com/post/parnia-...

Really something to see people act like Israel attacking Iran unprovoked is somehow justified because Iran might have a nuke someday. They’re hitting civilian airports. These are normal human beings with families and friends like yours.

happy Friday the 13th to all who celebrate

If Zohran wins, it will be ENDLESS NYT articles about how he needs to include "moderates" and Republicans, if Cuomo wins the NYT will be FUCK THOSE RADICAL Leftists. The editorials write themselves. No need for any rapprochement.

I love black cats. This one's name is Tengo, I've been told :)

This is one of the best - and most terrifying - images from my bird feeder. 😬

From a dear comrade who was kind enough to let me share their video. Veterans stage a sit-in on the US Capitol steps and say, “Military off our streets!” Hell yeah!

Oh, you're doomscrolling current events? That's baby shit. I'm doomscrolling the events of 536. A volcano just erupted in Iceland. Snow just fell during the summer in China. Crops are failing. All of the crops are failing.

ICE is going to parks in Los Angeles and kidnapping nannies who are caring for small children The children are witnessing these kidnappings and being held in custody until their parents are contacted Women and children in parks

The CDC has released new measles guidance for summer camps, urging to check for measles immunity in campers and staff, stockpiling face masks It comes as we're now less than a hundred cases from setting a record, marking worst year since 20th century www.cbsnews.com/news/cdc-urg...

will always initially read "SWE" as "sex worker engineer"

whenever I see a story about the beautiful Dan Stevens, I know I must add a semi-random shout-out to his performance of @kellylink.bsky.social's "Prince Hat Underground" -- one of my absolute top favorite audio performances of a story maybe ever

When I was high yesterday I decided that 667 should be even more satanic than 666 but that 668 would not improve upon that further, because no one would intuitively understand 668 had any relationship to 666.

We’re taking care of this little fuzzball. She hatched with a common chicken leg problem (“splay leg”), and the solution involves immobilizing her in a sling, hand-feeding and -watering her. That first photo has big Wired Magazine energy.

🚨The kids in larchmont are doing rage songs🚨

Adam Schiff is on the Senator floor right now talking about the "vandals and miscreants" committing "vile acts" in L.A. that he argues should be subdued only by local police rather than the military. Good lead up, senator. You're truly one of the worst elected Dems.

I know it's been said but I keep getting re-infuriated about RFK Jr doing his thing, like we had this vaccines thing *settled*, they rule and they were working and all we had to do was NOT put the worst possible person in charge of the country's public health apparatus.

We handed them both a multiracial democracy and the moral high ground paid for by the blood of everyone from Douglass to Ida B Wells to MLK. They threw it away rather than confront white grievances and now they are demanding our labor to rebuild what they squandered. SMH.

This picture from Reuters confirms U.S. Marines have carried out the first detention of a civilian in L.A. The DoD has confirmed its authenticity.

My sis just shared this pic of her new kitten and very, very old shih-tzu snuggling, and y'all probably need this today

I'm praying for ICE agents today. May they not know a moment's peace until they quit, and seek amends. May their children revile them. May their parents regret them. May they know they deserve the hatred and distrust of their countrymen. And may all their tomatoes be underripe and flavorless.

I made this list of Nonviolent Political Actions for Writers for a course I taught during TFG 1.0 on Writers & Resistance. Please share. You do not need to be a writer to participate. "You are here on this earth at this time. Don't act like you're not a part of what's going on."

<thread> On the left: June 12, Judge Breyer writing that THE test for whether the US Marines/Guard violate Posse Comitatus will be whether they've engaged in "detaining" civilians. On the right: June 13: See for yourself. Note: The DoD has confirmed the detention of civilian to Reuters.

Nazi shit. Visceral, actually existing Nazi shit. Gestapo. Secret police. Randomly inflicted terror against targeted groups in centers of opposition against an illegitimate, minority regime of masked men in brown and green uniforms. Actual, real life, nazi shit and it's home grown All American.

Don’t know if it’s good or not, but Shining Vale has moments of greatness.

Iran's U.N. ambassador says 78 people were killed and over 320 injured in the Israeli attacks apnews.com/live/israel-...

Hey, I'd love for you to read Alaa's story and help her out if you could. I'm going to thread some of her posts here because I want her to get support and I also want people to read her words because they are clear and poignant and hard and beautiful. chuffed.org/project/1252...
