We live in a white supremacist country run by white supremacist fascists. This is inexcusable. It's everyone's job to fight this bullshit the rest of our lives.

It’s extremely important to note 2 things: 1. Most incarcerated women are held in jails, not prisons. Meaning they’re legally innocent as most have not been convicted and just cant afford bail 2. Women’s incarceration rates are OUTPACING men’s now as men’s incarceration rates are trending down

These protesters have nothing to do with Palestinian rights or peace. Their goal is eliminationist — that any recognition of Israeli humanity is unacceptable, even if comes from someone like Mamdani and is part of a peace vigil. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/10...

I love Aaron. But this seemed unusually important, so I watched the speech until I got to this part. He says he was lifted out of the US Steel building because it was creaking and people thought it would fall down, NOT that he was lifted from the rubble on 9/11.

worth tying this into the political economy of the slave south as well. from roughly the 1820s onwards, slavery became enormously lucrative in ways that had never been seen before. slave traders became millionaires. large planters had tremendous purchasing power. just huge amounts of wealth.

my wife has a friend who sent Dolly Parton a painting she made & a letter explaining how much Dolly's music meant to her while she was transitioning. Dolly responded to it personally & paid for her top surgery. Sounds like an urban legend but it's real. I think we're going to more stories like this.

A wild story that sums up so much about this moment. Rare books bought up by a hyperscaler, driven across the country by truck, scanned and fed into the woodchipper by low wage workers so the rich can build and own systems that squeeze, surveil, and automate labor and control knowledge generation.

"She has known your daughter for approximately eleven seconds, most of which she spent rummaging through her tote bag. She already knows what is wrong. Lavender calms the nervous system. Frankincense repairs neural pathways."

Is this just business as usual in politics? No. Approval rates of federal disaster aid requests were about the same regardless of the state and did not vary much with the party of the President. This graph powerfully conveys the scale of the partisan discrimination now.

There have reportedly been multiple attempts by sailors to jump overboard the USS Abraham Lincoln as poor conditions and mental stress reach a breaking point. The crew is in its ninth month at sea, and has spent 250 days consecutively without making land, a record

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

Will I understand Charli XCX if I haven’t seen Charli XCVIIII

This isn't one of his own songs and is not even his best cover, but I often think of this performance whenever I think of what it means to not phone something in, to really show up for it. Here's Glen Hansard years ago with Markéta Irglová doing Van Morrison's "Into the Mystic."

Half the planet is having a massive fight about how to correctly interpret an Ancient Greek poem but go ahead, close some more humanities departments.

SF rents hit $4,257 for a 2BR—highest in US—as AI hiring collides with decades of underbuilding. The cause is scarcity. Supply hasn't grown. Bidding wars have. www.sfchronicle.com/sf/article/a...

I’ve been a fan ever since The Frames. One of the best rock voices ever, and one of the best live performers. He put his whole soul into his music. This is so sad!

In America today, the wealthiest 1% is now worth more than the entire American middle class. That never happened before.

I respect France's commitment to not working on a holiday.

When Lindsey Graham appears in a history book, it'll be his prediction in 2016 that the Republican Party would be destroyed for supporting Donald Trump and then a few lines about how he proved it by becoming Trump's toady. That's pretty much it. That's his legacy. Pathetic lickspittle.

If you enjoy things like not being fired for getting pregnant or your employer not being able to demand to analyze your genetic material, thank disabled activists by showing the fuck up for them. This month and every month.

Meta is a staunchly anti-art, anti-artist company and has been showing you this for years with basically every product decision it has made with Instagram, and yet so many professional creative industries continue to rely on it. Spread the word on their latest attack on artists ⬇️

The Obama administration sought to replace Andrew Jackson on the front of the $20 bill with Harriet Tubman.

Mitch McConnell won't see your posts, but your friends who are medically unresponsive w- wait no that's not right

leftism and centrism are plagued by the exact same misogyny and antisemitism as any other segment of society theyre just more in denial about it

BREAKING: in June 2026, *every single one* of the 1,062 refugees admitted in the U.S. were white South Africans. In FY 2026, the U.S. has admitted a total of 7,727 white South Africans, three Afghans (back in November), and nobody else. For reference, the U.S. admitted 100,060 refugees in 2024.

This alone should be a decade-defining political scandal resulting in prison sentences.

Hi, you've reached the Pharisee hotline! Actual, historical Pharisees were just early Jewish rabbis (before the term "rabbi" was used the way it is today). Considering that Jews do believe in helping the poor and foreigners, it is best not to use the term "Pharisee" for people like Vance.
