Zohran Mamdani’s win has inspired over 3400 young people to raise their hands to run for office just since Tuesday. It’s now @runforsomething.net’s biggest candidate recruitment moment since the election. A new generation of leaders is here.

We need answers—now. Where is our sister Hilary Rivers? ICE took her the morning after Pride with no warning, no due process, and no communication. This is not justice—this is kidnapping. We demand transparency, accountability, and her immediate release. Read more: 48hills.org/2025/06/drag...

To borrow someone’s favorite emoji: 🤣

www.reddit.com/r/skyrimmods... Uh oh, I suspect Nexus Mods is going to be going under sooner rather than later.

It's that time of year again! Drowning doesn't look like drowning; familiarize yourself with the instinctive drowning response

🤣 if Santa Barbara alone had more protest attendees than trump’s parade …

This nonprofit has stepped up to cover expenses of street vendors who have lost their income due to being undocumented. Anyone considering a donation today, I humbly suggest this link

One of many reasons it’s dumb to try and “fix” the trade deficit with tariffs is that trade wars hurt *exports* in addition to imports—keep in mind we usually have a manufacturing trade *surplus* with Canada, before Trump began wrecking that trade relationship

For people with darker skin injured at protests, and the lawyers representing them:

Ghibli are one of the greatest to ever do it, absolutely incredible studio, what a beautiful canon of movies. Tremendously moving, thrilling, heartbreaking, at times terrifying, and often with explicitly antifascist or environmental messaging

Just added to our No Kings dispatches: Brookline, Massachusetts, with the first byline from our newest writing fellow, Naomi Bethune! prospect.org/politics/202...

The amazing world of Japanese marine photographer Ryo Minemizu, Part 1/2. #photography #naturephotography #ocean #fish #plankton #marinephotography #mypicturethread Liocranchia reinhardti.

The Nazis targeted disabled people first & pioneered the term “useless eater” They convinced the masses that we were less than”. People taking up resources & not contributing in any way. When Dr Oz says we must “prove our worth” to get Medicaid, he’s just resurrecting the concept. Don’t let him

All true, except when the nyt decides to make its hero, Rowling, the focal point. Which is like asking the assailant for “insight” about their victim

This is a reference to the iconic, Pulitzer-winning image of a Vietnam War protester. He later moved to SF, renamed himself Hibiscus and formed a drag troupe called the Cockettes. Happy Pride!

I'm at the Cincy airport headed to an interview in New York and it is DESERTED. On a Sunday morning in June! Really no bigger indicator of how badly Trump has fucked up the economy and international relations. Domestically, people can't afford it. And if you aren't from here why take the risk?

(Dem fundraising email 47 minutes from now) Help Me Tell Kristi " 'No-em' Way, Jose"

What @padilla.senate.gov shared on X a few minutes ago

A year ago, House Republicans impeached the Secretary of Homeland Security. Congress should 100% be drafting up articles of impeachment for Kristi Noem today.

I saw a "why should Black people care about ICE?" post on IG and I'm just floored just how much Black immigrants are rendered invisible while facing higher detention and deportation rates.

dhs kind of backpedaling here -- and even on X there is mostly people mad about a senator being tackled, not as much FAFO stuff as you might expect

NEW FROM CBO: brutal distributional analysis of House GOP "Big Beautiful Bill" On avg the bottom 30% of households get poorer under the GOP bill Avg gets little - and are worse off if you include tariffs This'd be the largest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich in a single law in history

Don't forget they're also paying people in crypto to attend. Does that add to the price tag? Not sure but it is hilarious

Utterly stunning @oilfieldwitness.bsky.social optical gas imaging video from the site of Musk's massive new fossil power station fuelling the Grok text generation engine on X @nickcunningham.bsky.social's full write-up here - must-read gasoutlook.com/analysis/xai... All this for a crappy chatbot.

there is something deeply rotten & corrupted in the hearts & minds of everybody in the tech industry & journos covering it that they don't see "wear these glasses so an AI can tell you how to smile properly & chew your food" as a real & nightmarish problem to be snuffed out rather than a cool gizmo

happening now: ice is back at chicago immigration court after protests kept them away for two days. so far this morning, i’ve seen agents kidnap six people. in at least two instances, the state dropped the case.

If LAPD is telling you they don't want to take part in your fuckup you have fucked up in ways that defy human comprehension

NEW: The Supreme Court has ruled that DOGE can have unimpeded access to sensitive Social Security records for millions of people.

I think you can make a reasonable case that the move in retrospect was to take very coercive steps to vaccinate everyone ASAP then do a full reopening. Instead the "Dems kept schools closed too long!" people always insist it was BEFORE the vaccines that everything should've reopened. It's insane!

SCOOP: The first wave of DOGE staffers was supposed to be gone after 130 days. Instead, core members of the team have signed on for the long haul. www.wired.com/story/big-ba...

A major insight of the work of brilliant scholars as disparate as James Scott, C. Thi Nguyen, & @kjhealy.co is that we live in a society governed by metrics, simple countable vessels for making abstract values concrete. Maximizing metrics is something states can do very well, even unto catastrophe

Days after their “it’s smart politics to abandon transgender people to the far-right hate mob,” we now get “it’s wrong to display the Pride flag” from our paper of record. Happy Pride Month!!
