35 years ago. #SantaBarbara. #PaintedCavefire. It feels like yesterday.

Officials are urging Blue Shield of California to resolve its contract dispute with UC Health, warning that the breakdown threatens access to critical care for San Francisco city workers and...

Free busses...or masked police-state goons rounding up law-abiding workers and residents, separating them from their families, and sending them to gulags. Tell me which outrages you more.

Russia is waging a campaign of systematic torture against Ukrainians, targeting civilians and prisoners of war alike. These are their stories 👇 (1/14)

The. Cruelty.

This!

THIS IS INSANE: This isn’t just Trump having another tantrum. He’s systematically trying to convince millions that the free press is the enemy. That journalists are subhuman. That facts don’t matter. This is how authoritarians set the stage for violence—first the words, then the blood.

He came from a fake boardroom, ran a fake charity, a fake university, faked his net worth, faked Time magazine covers, lied about crowd sizes, and ran on a fake law and order stance. Now we’re stuck in the rerun of a rigged reality show.

Trump and Melania Knauss, an immigrant who came to the United States on a work visa. To Trump's right is their anchor baby, Barron. I don't care if she is a dual citizen of Slovenia and the United States and if Barron was born in the United States, but they should be deported.

It’s crazy how so much is going on That nobody is even talking about the DOJ filing a lawsuit AGAINST EVERY DISTRICT COURT JUDGE IN MARYLAND Seems the Chief Judge issued an order granting a 2 day stay of deportation for any immigrant who files a habeas petition And Trump didn’t like that At all

Watch this. Because this is the way: Local officials using their platform right, reaching out to the community. Ambrocio “Enrique” Lozano, affectionately known as “the popsicle man,” was reportedly abducted in broad daylight in Culver City. Masked man. White van. Cart left behind in the street.

This Fugelsang substack post is a cathartic read. Highly recommend!

The Dem machine threw everything they had behind Cuomo—billionaires, legacy media, corporate cash, POTUS endorsements—and Zohran still won big. They can either learn from him and become the party for working people, or continue to suffer at 26% approval rating: www.qasimrashid.com/p/mamdani-wi...

It is disrespectful degrees outside. 😭

What the actual F? #FEMA

Whenever I see Dems claim they are out of power, there’s nothing they can do, I think of Brad Lander and how he escorted people to court while being comptroller and running for mayor. Do something or get the f out of the way so there can be more Brad Landers.

"Major heat risk" in June in Vermont makes me think of the weather, which reminds me of this photograph I took in Asheville, North Carolina--like Vermont, thought to be a climate refuge--last December, months past Helene. It's not science, just dread.

This “big, ugly bill” is dangerous and will destroy rural health care. In Kentucky alone, 35 hospitals are under the threat of closing, stripping care from families, cutting jobs and crippling local economies. 1/2

#ProudBlue Yet another hidden booby trap in the Big Ugly Bill: it would ban health insurance on the ACA marketplaces from covering abortion. This'll send a shock wave through the country and put abortion care out of reach for countless women. Pass the word, not enough people know about this.

Just two days after one of our large-scale kitchens resumed operations, the WCK mobile bakery is back up and running. Our #ChefsForGaza team is scaling to prepare 30,000 loaves of bread daily.

Candidates who lose primaries should support the nominee, and if they try to split the party instead, that’s a sign primary voters were right to reject them

Wooohoooo!! The Election Center just called the projected winner of the NYC mayoral primary!!

A Muslim son of immigrants might become mayor of NYC in part because he cross endorsed and supported a Jewish candidate and Black candidate, and vice versa. It's a beautiful American story for the rest of us. A nightmare for all the right people ;) It's so New York.

And this is one of the reasons we're having issues coming together to do anything at all. If our elected officials will endorse an abuser, when they *know* that person is an abuser, we have issues inside our ranks to address.

So we bombed Iran to no real strategic effect and they then fired an ineffectual handful of missiles to show they’d retaliated. War as a kabuki spectacle.

Climate change is expanding mosquito habitat in Hawaiʻi, threatening endangered birds with avian malaria. So Hawaiʻi is releasing male mosquitoes with a strain of Wolbachia bacteria that make them incompatible with the females so their eggs don’t hatch. 🪶🧪

jesus.

The Trump administration has spent months illegally impounding funds in the name of waste, fraud, and abuse. Congressional Republicans are now seeking to cut GAO, an organization dedicated to rooting out waste, frauds abuse, roughly in half.
