I cannot stop watching Gritty throwing axes. 🪓

No good news goes unposted! To those of us who lost loved ones to HIV/AIDS, you’re in my heart today and always. Love! Science!

the man in custody was the first victim in this shooting.

please come to union sq. if you can!

Shooting unarmed protestors is not theoretical. President Trump gave that order to the previous Secretary of Defense in his first term. That Secretary didn’t carry out that and other orders because he had the guts to stand up to a President.

*this* is why whenever anyone says “and they burned cars in LA” i stop them. no. they burned autonomous surveillance robots put out on the public streets by a for-profit private company.

Even the Swedish sky is like “fuck the Supreme Court, though”

NEW: I spoke with Gail Etienne, who actually desegregated schools before Ruby Bridges, but in many ways her story has been deliberated ignored. Her voice is only becoming more needed as the state of Louisiana attempts to remove school desegregation orders this year. capitalbnews.org/gail-etienne...

oh, look! Mayor Adams screws the city again.

The problem with the Democratic establishment calling trans rights a distraction is that it isn't one, but I'd also like to add: a distraction from what? Because it doesn't seem like you guys are busy doing anything else. It seems like there's room in your schedule

My very first book I ever self-pubbed has a new lease on life and will be available in print for the first time!

This is a part of the passport win i haven't seen anywhere else yet, so i want to make sure as many of you see it as possible: If your passport was altered against your will, at any point in the last year, file this form 👇🏾 to initiate data correction, for free

This is why Mamdani says “with equal rights for all.”

Over 50 workers have come to Los Deliveristas Unidos in the last two weeks saying their Grubhub accounts were deactivated after years of working for the company. Grubhub was acquired by Wonder in January, the new company is buying up players in the industry.

“If there’s money for a parade? Then there’s money for Medicaid!” Older Americans, especially women, are fueling the No Kings pro-democracy movement on the ground: 19thnews.org/2025/06/olde... via @19thnews.org

For decades, much of Midtown South has been off limits to new housing. Now that's changing: The City Planning Commission just approved the Midtown South Mixed-Use Plan! This transformative plan will bring almost 10,000 new homes to midtown. Next up: @council.nyc.gov!

Day of colossal schadenfreude for #bikenyc, as the "major transportation projects" provision in the city code that has derailed the Bedford bike lane removal was in fact created as part of the 2010-era bikelash to gum up the works at NYCDOT

In a lengthy exchange, with ICE Deputy Field Director Bill Joyce, Reps Nadler and Goldman are denied the ability to visit the 10th floor. Joyce says it's not a detention facility it's just a place ppl are housed for several days w/out beds.

Youtube is showing me a lot of onigirazu, onigiri, & bento box videos lately, and I've succumbed. I HAVE ORDERED ONIGIRI MOLDS. As I slide down this tasty rabbit hole (my way of coping vs doomscrolling headlines), I'm fascinated by the history of onigiri & how it's changing. youtu.be/rVCRpl8mkIc?...

The NYT's anti-trans fear mongering was cited in a Supreme Court briefing that stripped away the rights of trans kids. They need to be fully blacklisted by queer people and their allies. Don't work for them. Don't use them for book press. Don't speak with them for stories. They made their bed.

The use of photos of Adriana Smith heavily pregnant that have featured in almost all media about this is so gravely misleading that it's a story in itself. These pictures are from her first pregnancy. She died before she was far enough along to do a glowing smiling maternity shoot for baby Chance.

like I know we all know it but Christ when you say it out loud

I know we all know this but it’s always so important to remember that transphobes who claim to fight for women’s equality generally proceed from the belief that women are inferior to men across the board they wouldn’t treat trans women like they had cheat codes if they respected cis women’s skills!

My favorite mass extinction event is the first one, when algae proliferated across the entirety of the oceans, pumping out so much oxygen that they suffocated nearly all life (including themselves). It brings me great comfort knowing that we have always been this way, even when we were plants.

What’s been happening in the West Bank? Since Israel launched its war with Iran early Friday morning, the Israeli military has closed off the West Bank, with entrances and exits to cities and villages blocked by checkpoints, cement blocks, and metal gates. (1/4)

Daily visit to the local neighborhood salad bar.

Everyone here should know the mayor’s press secretary is completely lying in this article. Here’s reporters asking her on May 20 why she hadn’t called on Chris for weeks.

The pardons he sold took money from the victims — from their pockets (and ours) right into his.

zippered, hidden pockets? tariffs for the win!!! (er, do we know who makes them? asking for, uh, a friend.)
