7yo: When I’m 27 I’m going to open a jewelry shop in New York City. Me: Ok, that sounds cool. 7yo: Yeah, and when I’m 40 I’ll be an astronaut and go to space! Me: To do what? 7yo: To get moon rocks! Me: For what? 7yo: Jewelry! To sell at the NYC shop!

I haven’t seen nearly enough people talking about this. The levels of greed and inhumane thinking on display is actually terrifying. America really is dystopian as fuck.

And I should mention I accidentally left out the “Critical” in Red Hills Area of Critical Environmental Concern. Doh. Here’s the official BLM page for the area: www.blm.gov/visit/red-hi...

Of all the travesties on this map, the sale of the Red Hills Area of Environmental Concern would be devastating. It’s home to amazing serpentine soils and geology, as well as a ton of endemic species that are super rare. @geotripper.bsky.social says it best: geotripper.blogspot.com/2022/04/red-...

Bizarrely, it appears that Trump’s nominee to lead the FAA has been lying about holding a commercial pilot license www.politico.com/news/2025/06... #aviation

I am wondering why Lisa Leher from the @nytimes.com did not discuss the data that suggests political violence in the US in the current era mostly comes from the right. Seems like a strange fact to ignore. 1/ www.nytimes.com/2025/06/14/u...

The products are marketed as energy shots or cognitive supplements but actually contain tianeptine, an unapproved drug that can be addictive and carries risks of serious side effects. U.S. poison control centers have reported a steady rise in calls linked to the drug. apnews.com/article/tian...

A lot of the way bullies work is they take advantage of the bigger picture everyone else sees to try to muscle and get their way. They benefit from everyone else's restraint, where everyone else understands the collateral impact of escalation. They mistake everyone else's strength for their own.

Along the Klamath River, where logging companies once cut ancient redwoods, vast tracts of land have been returned to the Yurok Tribe in an effort that tribal leaders say will enable the restoration of forests and the protection of a watershed that is vital for salmon www.latimes.com/environment/...

These are unspeakably dark and horrific times. Going out today and standing with people who are demanding that this country become better than it is feels so small. But also, and crucially, it feels better than doing nothing.

Let's all be very clear that ICE and regular cops refusing to identify themselves in any official or legible way is creating a situation that allows murderers and non-state kidnappers to successfully impersonate law enforcement. We had kidnappers do this in Philly this week in ICE costumes, too.

The Paradox of Tolerance disappears if you look at tolerance, NOT as a moral standard, but as a social contract. If someone does not abide by the terms of the contract, they are not covered by it. In other words, the intolerant aren't deserving of your tolerance.

Delaney Hall, the ICE detention center in Newark, needs to be shut down. GEO Group can't run a detention center competently. They put people in an unsafe building after refusing to secure a current certificate of occupancy. Now we learn they aren't feeding detainees.

Especially if you're on the fence about it, protest today. Fascism is isolating and lonely. Its very goal is to make you feel like you're the only person unwilling to accept a cult of personality. On days like today you fully realize there are more of us than there are them. You will feel better.
