My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

❗❗❗Mark Zuckerberg's meta just suspended the No Kings Instagram account. I just rushed back from my local No Kings to jump on this. Bottom line, would be helpful for all pro-No Kings folks to elevate the issue and help us get the word out about No Kings today. The Nerd Reich strikes again.

Dear Trump voters, You wanted mass deportations. Well, hundreds of thousands of people have been deported. NOW WHAT? • Did you get that job they supposedly took from you? • Did grocery prices drop? • Is rent cheaper? • Did your health insurance premiums drop? #TrumpsAbuseOfPower 🧵

October is Gate Safety Month Large gates can fall off their tracks if they are not installed properly or do not have safety features. If there is a large gate somewhere in your community, be aware of these risks.

as in so many parts of the country, the Mainers holding up immigrant communities need more people to join in — but people aren't talking about ICE as much. amid DHS's "quiet crackdown", ICE arrested more people in Maine between January and July 2026 than from 2024-2025 combined. @us.theguardian.com

Kyiv. Such a beautiful moon. The National Academy of Sciences, a medical centre, residential and office buildings, a petrol station, a café, a warehouse and critical infrastructure were among the places hit or damaged by russian drones today. Autumn. There are casualties.

This is such a fucking racket and these companies are all in cahoots. The best way to protect yourself and your employees from AI is to abstain from using it.

Nearly all the extras in this iconic scene were French expatriates. Their tears during the stirring rendition of La Marseillaise were genuine— filmed at a time when the fate of France was still uncertain. CASABLANCA (1942) #MichaelCurtiz

1/2 Wow, she received four years prison sentence for singing in public in Iran! Now Hiva Seifizadeh decided to risk everything to record this video from inside Iran. Enough is enough. For 47 years, the Islamic Republic has treated a woman’s voice like a crime.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

Masaki Kobayashi‘s 1964 horror classic KWAIDAN is coming to theaters this Fall with a 4K restoration of the Director's Cut. The film spins four tales of the supernatural. "These haunting tales, adapted from Japanese folklore, are existentially frightening."

I’ve heard a lot about airlines colluding with ICE and TSA to inform on migrants. Sickening betrayal. If anyone wonders how Germany got to where it did, it’s because of these kinds of collaborators.

"A concentration camp, in its most basic definition, is a place where a targeted civilian population, not necessarily accused of a crime, is detained and at least some of their basic rights are suspended," writes @jwashing.bsky.social. "That’s precisely what’s happening in the United States today."

Governor Beshear... Get in your car. Drive to the hospital. Demand to speak to the Senator. No more waffling, no more waiting for them to reply. "I see the Senator now, or I assume he's not coming back and call an election when I leave."

For America's 250th, I read Frederick Douglass’ speech, “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?” on the House floor—for the first time in history. His speech endures as a mirror & mandate for us all—to confront our inequities while fighting for an America as good as its promise.

No Father’s Day is complete without this video. At the 1992 Olympic Games in Barcelona, Redmond tore his hamstring in the 400 metres semi-final but continued the race limping and, with assistance from his father, managed to complete a full lap of the track as the crowd gave him a standing ovation.
