Dolan is a monster and appears to be doing everything he can to sour this title.

Me too. Just sayin’.

Reupping my piece from August about the police killing of 1-year-old Kohen Wiley in Senatobia, MS, and the community that has fought for accountability to no avail. A horrible case, whose details have only been revealed thanks to independent reporting, especially via @mississippitoday.org.

Her "immigration status" is that she's been a US citizen longer than either Melania Trump or Elon Musk. The Democrats SHOULD use this opportunity for 100% solidarity with one of their own, and throw the fucking kitchen sink at Trump and his Republicans. I doubt they will but would LOVE to be wrong.

BREAKING: Justice Department issues subpoenas in investigation into progressive Rep. Ilhan Omar’s immigration status, including to members of her family.

WSJ: 'The Trump administration’s investigation into Rep. Ilhan Omar is aimed at building a case to strip her of her U.S. citizenship and ultimately deport her, according to U.S. officials and other people familiar with the probe'

Right-wing online influencers: We can't prove Talarico *didn't* go to a rehab in Ohio NYT: We can, we saw video proof WSJ: Speaking of, we saw video of Paxton partying at the Burj Khalifa with his girlfriend and two men under federal indictment for fraud, one of whom donated to Paxton's campaign

I knew there had to be a catch.

Selling records in Park Slope today. Come by, buy a record, have a beer.

On my short list of rabid conservatives I have a soft spot for.

I've been immersed in research on Reconstruction in Lousiana and it's a very difficult truth to absorb that the white terrorist movement in the South was among the most successful terrorist movements in global history. Took 10 years but it won a total & complete victory through murder and atrocity.

June 5-6 2027. Save the date and see you in OHIO.

It’s that time of year. @wfmu.bsky.social is looking for a little spare change to get us through the coming winter months. Donate if you can. pledge.wfmu.org/donate/nk

WFMU’s Hellraiser fundraiser runs through October and gets us through the winter months, when the funds we raised in our spring Marathon are dwindling. There will be countless special programs throughout the month. Help us out with a donation and grab one of two new T-shirts. pledge.wfmu.org

I truly don’t understand this “transplant” nonsense. The whole THING about NYC is that ppl come here from other places to mutate into New Yorkers! TO SEE IF THEY CAN BE KING OF THE HILL, TOP OF THE HEAP! Imho a rando who moved here a year ago is the MOST NY person. Welcome Ohio rando, have a bagel

You’re right—that plane shouldn’t have gone there. That’s my fault, and I should have made sure there wasn’t a terminal in the landing path. Would you like me to call emergency services, or assist with lining up takeoffs?

I'm from somewhere else, definitely. If I was born, I definitely existed somewhere else before birth. (Sun Ra)

Why is the vanguard left take on AI suddenly that it’s not an existential threat? Is it because the take that “it will k*ll us all” is being manipulated by douchebags? I’m behind on this a bit. Someone explain.

the way to understand a piece like this from schmitz is that he lives in an urban, cosmopolitan millieu and the popularity of country music is a novelty to him. and so to explain it, he has to fit it into his volkish conception of america, whether or not that makes any actual sense.

I don’t know why I always do this one: James Brown Cecil Taylor The Ramones The Dead C The Cramps The Deadly Snakes Jimmy Scott Fugazi 68 Comeback The Headcoats/Headcoatees

I’m reading Cannery Row. Jesus Christ is it amazing. So great to live in a world where I can be almost 50, have been an avid reader my whole life & have barely scratched the surface of the surface of spectacular books out there.

Dolly Parton knew what it was like to struggle as she fought for working families her whole career. From providing free books to kids to giving working women our "9 to 5" anthem, she was an icon and an inspiration. Rest in power to our union sister. We will always love you.

RIP Dolly Parton ❤️ Here's a lovely Dolly story: We worked together on "Transamerica." She told me that the bible passage that used to puzzle her the most was, "the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men." She said, "How the heck do you sin against the Holy Ghost, and-

The former Pittsburgh Post-Gazette workers who went on strike for 3+ years, only to have the owners sell the paper and fire most of them, have started their own cooperative news org. Important reporting by @maximillianalvarez.bsky.social

The league has to get rid of this Dundon guy. He bought the Blazers to hold the city of Portland hostage for arena money and now he's telling all of his underlings to shittalk the city so he can move to Kansas City or something. Cut this shit out or the league will be held hostage by similar ghouls.
