Gentle push to consider donating to your local food banks in the next few weeks. If that’s not something you can comfortably do, consider liking, commenting, and sharing monetized content posted by folks using TikTok and YouTube revenue to donate! #Donate #FoodPantry

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

if you're going to a protest today I wish you luck. The only specific thing I will beg of you is this: don't use milk to wash out tear gas or mace. if you see a street medic with milk, yell at them until they throw it out. do not continue to spread lies about emergency medicine.

If I had explain American history in one sentence, I could do worse than "John Brown was hung for treason, but Robert E. Lee was not."

John Brown’s raid on Harpers Ferry began on this day in 1859.

In more news, Dems look outside and claim the sky is blue

The Washington Post@washingtonpost.com

President Trump’s move to cancel projects in Democratic states during the government shutdown has prompted allegations of partisanship. Democrats see a pattern of inflicting pain on places that are politically unfriendly.

Did you or a friend or a family member get attacked by Trump’s brown shirts this weekend? I’d like to hear about it and maybe do something about it. My email is jchavez [at] ojrc [dot] info. Please put “Seeking Legal Advice re: ICE Building” in subject line. All inquiries are confidential.

I’m opening a movie theater in which I show recently released films that I ripped from the internet but the studios are welcome to opt out if they wish.

Exclusive: OpenAI is planning to release a new version of its Sora video generator, which creates videos featuring copyrighted material unless copyright holders opt out of having their work appear.

Do I have eyes? I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. I can't find it on youtube and I refuse to go back to twitter. This is so hard to watch get swept under. Theres nothing on Youtube, Sir. I can't find it on this platform except a mega 1 thread of 85 people :(

With our leaders investing TRILLIONS into AI, I assumed it was at least factual. Holy Fuck, what are we doing to ourselves?!

My mom called me last night about the Kimmel firing, saying "This is how Hitler got started!" I quickly responded, "By firing the late night tv hosts?" Turns out, mom was right.

Every time I feel like I know a lot about the rise of fascism in Germany, I learn something new.

I hope I can live long enough to see Stephen Miller prosecuted, convicted, and sentenced for his numerous crimes against humanity. I hope we can all see him sniveling and crying as he's taken to prison.

usually if you ask experts why an empire fell they’ll say it’s nuanced and multifaceted, so i think it’s kind of cool that with America future historians will get to just say like “oh they took the idiot train to moronsville”

Parks & Recreation got a raw deal becoming dated so quickly. Nobody could have predicted that Trump would degrade public life that much, that quickly. In the Obama era a show like that really rang true.

Blue sky is awesome because a bunch of people who like to make jokes and a bunch of people who are incapable of identifying a joke are forced to share space

The problem here isn't just the answer but the question. Mamdani has denounced antisemitism and clarified his position on this random slogan *other people* chanted at a protest numerous times. This is only a "tough question" if you think it's your job to repeat bad faith Republican attacks.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Hakeem Jeffries on Mamdani: "'Globalizing the intifada' by way of example is not an acceptable phrasing. He's gonna have to clarify his position on that as he moves forward."

“Independence day is canceled because of fear of secret police raids” is really a level of on the nose political symbolism you just can’t make up.

Steve Herman@newsguy.bsky.social

LA Times - Several communities in Los Angeles County have called off or postponed their previously scheduled Independence Day and July events, citing resident safety amid ongoing immigration enforcement raids.

So, you gonna do anything to respond or nah?

Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.gov

Arresting Comptroller Lander is despicable and another example of Trump weaponizing law enforcement to attack political enemies rather than focusing on public safety. DHS is flat-out lying in its statement. In the video, Comptroller Lander plainly does not lay a hand on anyone.
