Love seeing this message at the museum!!

Nothing and no one should stand between New Yorkers and their right to vote — least of all the government.
 Early voting is happening now through November 1. Election Day is November 3. See you at the polls!

Wow! What a cool opportunity!

Elon Musk is trying to buy this Senate seat in Texas. He wants our land, he wants our water, and he wants his own personal U.S. senator. He’s trying to buy Texas. But on November 3rd, we’ll deliver a clear message to the world’s first trillionaire: Texas is not for sale.

You guys, Getty Images was founded in 1995 by Mark Getty, who is the the grandson of J. Paul Getty. The Getty Villa and the Getty Museums are separate entities altogether and have no tie to Getty Images or its bankruptcy filings. The Getty provides open, non-profit images under open licenses!

Some dogs are very good sleepers, as long as they get the pillow at the top of the bed!

A surprising new study finds that people who sleep near their dogs don’t experience disrupted sleep. If anything, the University of Toronto researchers discovered, we humans are the ones disturbing our dogs’ sleep.

Peter Jackson gave everyone the precise visual reference necessary to recognize this act as Evil.

LA is HOT. But does it have to be this hot? Did you know shade from a single tree can drop temps by 20° or more? Yet working-class neighborhoods like South LA, East LA, and the Valley get the least tree coverage and bear the brunt of extreme heat. Let's finally cool things down for everyone.

Heck yeah

Neiman Marcus closed its downtown Dallas flagship on Wednesday. The store played a notable role in the history of desegregation in Dallas. Previously, Black shoppers across the US could enter department stores, but they weren't allowed to try on clothes without adhering to certain conditions. 🧵

Excellent thread! There *are* rewards for being A Good Guy Who Speaks Up even if they are not immediately obvious or publicly bestowed. First, integrity is its own reward. Maybe you didn’t save the world or change hearts & minds. But if you held the line on not making it worse, that’s something.

When they get back in power, Democrats need to go all-in on higher education. We need a campaign of reinvestment in public universities across the country that makes the Morrill Land-Grant Act look like nothing by comparison *and* a GI Bill of Rights-style program of tuition grants.

Trump is banning students majoring in degrees that don’t make enough money from taking out college loans. Degrees for social work, art, religious studies, teaching aides, and music will be hit the hardest. trib.al/kQdKbY1

California Prop 38: - authorizes $4B spending in a way that only one research center in the whole state qualifies - privately funded research center - founder of the research center has donated $22 million to support the ballot prop This is, like, pure corruption calmatters.org/politics/ele...

calmatters.orgIs this proposition a $4 billion giveaway to a billionaire’s LA research center?Proposition 38 will award $4 billion to one unnamed research center. Under the very specific criteria, only one center seemingly qualifies.

It’s 1970 and ELTON JOHN takes out a crumpled piece of paper and plays “Tiny Dancer” for the first time in front of his lyricist BERNIE TAUPIN and Taupin’s wife Maxine (for whom Taupin wrote the song).

Don’t believe people who tell you ai can be liberatory or any other misappropriation of movement talk or justice frameworks. Find some people who are preparing to rebuild and cast your lot with them. Then read a bit more. Just keep your wits about you because they are trying to run game.

Trans rights is inherently a bodily autonomy issue. Just like abortion rights is. We can't have gender equity or reproductive freedom without trans rights. Full stop. You can yell at me and make up shit that you claim I've said if it makes you feel better. I don't care. I'm right. And you know it.

Working class means people who receive a wage, who must sell their labor to survive because they do not own the means of production. If you mean poor people, say poor people. If you mean people without a college degree, say that. Working Class means something pretty clear already.

Happy "we stole all your work and are only being forced to pay because we literally all pirated it and bragged in emails, now let's find out how many different entities can try to screw you out of your nickles" day to all being forced to celebrate it.

This is some dystopian shit, and every Texan should rise up against it if they believe even half of their own bullshit.

Before (2011) / After (2026) Voie Georges Pompidou, Paris Centre. It was pedestrianized in 2016. in 2026 for the first time, there is a swimming pool here in the Seine. Note also the barge restaurants in the back, that appeared as soon as 2014, when there were temporary pedestrianizations.

I feel like an issue that would connect well with voters would be doing anything at all to slow the current progression toward "absolutely everything now is a scam"

Literally cannot wait for the chance to vote for Schiff's eventual primary opponent. Safest blue state in the Senate and he goes out of his way to do this shit all the time. Bud, I hope your know that none, zero of them will write nice words about you when you die.

What I’ll remember most about Senator Graham was his sense of humor and how he deployed it to move his policy positions forward. Though we did not often agree, Senator Graham was never disagreeable.

I'd be interested in some thoughts from Americans on here on an idea: Over the last 5 years, have you found yourself identifying more with your home state than the US as a whole over time?

In honor of Scotland’s historic World Cup run and status as America’s tipsy sweethearts, let’s look at the fashion history behind the Tartan Army’s uniform. The name itself comes from a worsted wool fabric in a twill weave with a distinctive geometric pattern (or sett), erroneously called plaid.
