Personally verified the veracity of this excellent development. It’s in the layers (both literally and figuratively).

Big Brother is watching, but now we can watch Big Brother right back. I love that MapQuest is flipping the script. Apple Maps, where you at?!

The long-serving strongman leader of Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic, has conceded defeat in an election that pitted him and his right-wing party against a diverse student-led opposition movement that spent two years protesting his government.

Puff the Magic Dragon in your pants.

Dear registered voters, When was the last time you checked your registration status and verified your current name and address? You can find the links you need to do that at npr.org/vote

Excellent usage of “switcheroo,” “bonkers,” and “Gulf of Mexico.”

Warning! ⚠️ Things are going to be bad this midterm election. The Trump administration has fired the remaining commissioners of the U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC), leaving the independent bipartisan agency without any sitting commissioners.

What does a wealth tax actually look like? We sent Brighty Buoy and his tiny balls to Wimbledon to chat to fans 🎾

A proposed rule fueled by Trump’s conspiracy theories would require the USPS to keep a list of voters it believes should be allowed to vote by mail—and give them the power to hold those ballots hostage. Urge them to say NO and help protect voting by mail: act.standupamerica.com/letters/cte-...

Texas has a state school board, whereas most other school boards are district specific. This means that the Texas School Board has an inordinate amount of buying power which can, and has, influenced the contents of textbooks available nationwide.

Genuinely delightful thread for Dads of all genders! Happy Dad Day to all who’ve put in the work!

Ah. So. “Then some other objects came that confounded experts. As conservators cleaned what looked like ordinary medieval pottery, they found faint reddish writing painted on the inside — the same mysterious markings on shard after shard.” www.bostonherald.com/2026/06/02/n...

Wartime recruitment. Wartime. War.

Pretty sure I walked by just minutes after this. There was a big crowd gathered outside their door. Northeast have been making me proud with how rapidly they show up in numbers anywhere ICE tries to invade up and down Central Ave.

The lies. Lies lies lies lies.

This is the most Minnesota thing ever, but this time, seriously.

For everyone whose skies are overcast or who are too south to bear witness, a picture of Aurora in her glory.

The historically dominant Western culture seems to, as a bloc, lack moral imagination, and so interprets moral imagination exercises as contextless condemnations and/or navel gazing. They then react accordingly.

All right, I wrote about it:

I can’t believe I found a @pftompkins.bsky.social action figure!

Paolo Freire, everyone.

The real change, the real progress, if we care to earnestly attempt to make it, happens exactly like this piece. Conversationally, moment by moment. See also the work of Daryl Davis. It is challenging, sometimes even scary, but it is the way.

A sickening (pun intended) reality of the US health care system is that insurers and employers grouse about utilization (using the services we paid for) and actively work to dissuade it. Then they grouse about the costs of multimorbid, complex care. It’s almost like $$ is the sickness.

USA! USA! @unusualwhales.bsky.social @moreperfectunion.bsky.social

This and the vote grabs are SO IMPORTANT.

This is the whole “condemned to repeat it” part. The US, with its ridiculous incarceration rates and policies, has long had centers where certain demographics had been concentrated. We looked the other way because those people did illegal stuff. Expand the definition of illegal, and here we are.

As attacks on libraries, books, and library patrons and workers continue to be on the rise across the country, two new resources from our co-founder @prisonculture.bsky.social, about criminalization of and in libraries, to provide some helpful context, information, and inspiration for resistance: ⬇️

Hey folks! Feeling triggered, but like... actually? They want you traumatized. Here are great, free, evidence-based resources: www.nicabm.com/free-resourc... We need persistence for the resistance, and that needs the energy being sucked up by the stress. Take good care of yourselves.

“We want to put them in trauma.” The Boys couldn’t write Vought this well. Learn from Black Americans - joy. is. resistance. Find your wellspring and engage with an earnest smile. This will be essential to whatever comes next.
