Oct 16 26 – May 2 27: Folger Shakespeare Library, Washington, D.C., USA: "For centuries, Black women have claimed Shakespeare, reshaping his words to assert their humanity, creativity, and power. *To Hear Her Speak* brings these voices into focus for the first time." www.folger.edu/whats-on/to-...

Democrats need to be ready to hold hearings and inquiries into the assault that Musk, Zuckerberg and other tech bros are making against democratic institutions at home and abroad.

i’m just so fucking sorry that my muslim friends have to be hit with this despicable racism every single day. it’s not ok and you should not have to tolerate it. this country belongs to all of us.

I really needed this. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Surprised how hard and long I laughed.

The vast majority of history’s worst people have been intelligent. If not, they would not have been able to wreak such havoc. I am so tired of “intelligence” used as some sort of shield or excuse. Shall I list the number of mass murderers with advanced degrees?

RFK Jr., and all who promote and support him should be charged with crimes against humanity. Oh, how I wish that statement was hyperbole. Of course, it also applies to the entire Trump regime.

Sherman should have kept going and utterly destroyed the south. Andrew Johnson was a racist piece of shit.

Ossoff: "I think Pete Hegseth is frankly a deeply unwell person who seems to relish this kind of brutality all the while he's running a department that is falling into chaos. The guy cannot run the military competently and is spending his time with this kind of obscene medieval spectacle."

"Brutality trip" sums it up nicely. The GOP/MAGA/MAHA is a death cult.

There should be a Constitutional and basic civics test that one must pass before running for any public office. Basic. Legal. Required.

Marimar Martinez was shot five times by a Border Patrol agent and branded a “domestic terrorist” by DHS — all for just warning her neighbors and speaking her truth during Operation Midway Blitz. She deserves true justice and accountability from the federal government.

This can't be talked about enough. "President Donald Trump's move to cut most of the US funding towards foreign humanitarian aid could cause more than 14 million additional deaths by 2030, according to research published in The Lancet medical journal." www.bbc.com/news/article...

HORRIBLY disappointed. But so is current me. Actually, 20 year old me would be utterly bewildered. Current me is still working hard for what 20 year old me wanted.

Of course. Because we’re living in Stalinist Russia.

Absolutely enjoying the outpouring of love for such a wonderful human being. There are so many stories and clips and anecdotes and more. All full of love for someone who was so full of love and always seemed willing, and eager, to share hers.

I hope everyone caught this Lancet study confirming that Elon Musk & DOGE are responsible for genocidal levels of suffering & death.

Among the travesties of this regime. It has always, and will always annoy (not a strong enough word) me that the wounded dead and wounded are mere numbers. Do people know what “wounded” can mean? I feel too many assume it’s something minor, when it can be life altering.

I keep seeing "Worst sitcom you've watched" and all I can think of is: my life at this moment. All of it. This authoritarian regime, all the hate, all the violence, all of it. None of it is funny. I think it's going for the absurdist comedy angle but it's failing miserably. DO NOT PICK UP. CANCEL.

This man is why I love Arsenal. And his words are why I love NY. Miss it so much.

James Talarico: 50 years ago, a corporate lawyer named Lewis Powell circulated a memo around DC — a blueprint for how corporations could amass political power, reverse the gains of the Great Society and the New Deal, and rig the system for themselves. And it worked.

The rate of sepsis in Houston surged 63% after Texas banned abortion. In the Dallas-Fort Worth area, where hospital leaders empowered doctors to intervene before patients’ conditions worsened, it rose 29%. (Published May 2025)

"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."

This is what Stephen Miller and all the other murderous goons in the regime want. These deaths are on them.

Mamdani criticizes Netanyahu. Later, a crazy man stabs a Jewish man and an Asian man. And we get an article suggesting that while one stabbing (dismissed in six words) is just a shrug, the other implicates the mayor. Disgraceful framing. Shame on everyone involved. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/24/n...

Is it possible the field is tilted toward one end? #FRAENG

Kid1, who is both an conductor and engineer for CN and has driven trains through SK wildfires himself, just sent me this video from Ontario. When I tell you they arent paid enough!!! vt.tiktok.com/ZSXkuEadE/

INSANE. How could this be anything but terrible? Of course this FCC said ok. "Plans to have more than 50,000 satellites reflecting sunlight back to Earth could cause huge disruption to ecosystems and humans alike. But the FCC has just given the go-ahead to test a giant space mirror in Earth-orbit."

Crushed by the loss of Sam Neill. One of my all time favorites. He brought charm, gravitas, and solidity to every role and project. And so soon after the news he was cancer free.

"Corruption for me, not for thee" is far too prevalent with this whole discussion. The moment Trump put his finger on the scale, whomever is for the FIFA decision is also for Trump's corruption.

Holy…what a hit. Just…incredible finish.

Got to love a "hydration break" when the weather is mild and rainy.

I’m not going to stop going on about the fact that Arsenal’s success at corners is built on having two of the best corner takers in the game and they both play for England so you’re going to see it in this tournament and you’re going to be forced to accept it 👍

I miss NY so much.

Congratulations to the Knicks, to my former home of NY, and to all my friends there, and elsewhere. Especially to my other brain, for whom this is the first title in his life. You know who you are. Soak it in.

As a neutral, I can say that NBA officiating remains childish, inconsistent, and worse than any other major sport. They can’t even get the basics right. #NBA #Finals

Arsenal players celebrating 😍😍😍

The Arsenal. Your Premier League champions.

YEEEEEEESSSSSSSS!!!!!! COME ON ARSENAL!!!!!!!!! #Arsenal

COYG

Usually my feed is politics, science, arts, and cute animals. Yet this just happened.

Welcome home Integrity and crew!!!! #ArtmisII

The images right now of the solar eclipse from Orion are phenomenal. As this entire day and mission have been. Had it on pretty much 24/7 since pre-launch. #ArtemisII #NASA #Integrity #Orion

I am getting such a kick out of listening to CAPCOM and Integrity taking care of little tasks, items on the checklist, and general feeling out of the spacecraft. Really makes me happy. #ArtemisII #NASA

Successful TLI burn. Onto the moon! #ArtemisII

Let's go, Artemis II !!!! #NASA #ArtemisII
