I was sent this by a Georgian this morning. 2025 premiums vs 2026 premiums for someone making $65k a year.

Republicans in Washington did this.

This is what I'm fighting to stop. This is what’s at stake in this shutdown fight.

The prominent critique of the ADL on the left in recent years has been that they do whatever the Israeli government wants. And I understand why people think that! But this is actually not that. The Israeli government did not ask for this; the American Christian right did.

While Trump and congressional Republicans share most of the blame for the government shutdown let’s not forget the Republican Supreme Court that allows Trump to violate the constitution by cutting whatever he wants. They broke the legislative process

Kristi Noem: How DARE you accuse our glorious ICE agents of racial profiling.

Head of the Chicago raids: We are stopping people based on “how they look, how do they look compared to, say,” a tall, middle aged white guy.

‘Fear and hopelessness’: study finds one in four professors consider leaving US south Survey by American Association of Professors shows nearly quarter of respondents are switching due to states’s politics

Seeing this picture reminds me of how much I loved going to college in Austin when Ann Richards was governor. It’s so heartbreaking to see what those assholes have done to the state. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

If you don’t want to be called a Nazi, stop building concentration camps and disappearing people.

"Autism: First diagnosed in 1943.
Tylenol: Not invented until 1955.
RFK Jr.: Born 1954.
Thus RFK Jr. is more likely to have caused autism than Tylenol."

They are literally canceling culture

Suggestion: A strike of musicians, writers, hosts, actors, lighting, electricians--everyone, shutting down all TV studios, until Jimmy Kimmel is reinstated.

This is the kind of action we need, instead of sitting around just waiting to be gutted.

to my mind the woman who dies of sepsis because of antiabortion laws, or the person who dies because they can't afford insulin -- these are just as much victims of political violence as the man shot through the throat while making a racist speech

“Freedom of speech requires navigating disagreement, not murdering those with whom we disagree.”

Just incase the Nazi shit in Vance’s convention speech wasn’t clear enough for you.

I’m blathering on about needing furniture while Fascism digs in its heels.

The way that Zohran talks about small businesses—really listening to their concerns—needs to be the future of the Democratic Party.

Hegseth authorizes Guard troops in DC to carry weapons Defense Secretary Hegseth has signed an order allowing Guard troops in D.C. to be armed. The authority is expected to be acted upon in coming days.

Hegseth authorized the National Guard in DC to carry weapons.

This is another escalation that puts DC communities in even more danger.

We should not have armed soldiers patrolling the streets of any U.S. city, let alone our nation’s capital.

We the people demand federal forces out NOW. #FreeDC

Driving from DC to Newark, seeing how many covers of “Ode to Billy Joe” we can listen to. Maybe by the end, we’ll understand the narrative.

Panelists of diverse backgrounds will engage in a craft-based discussion about how the choice to be child-free informs our art, including what it took to be “successful” at our craft. If choice is a spectrum, how do we write past stereotypes about people without children without stigmatizing other reproductive choices? We will share multi-genre work, along with craft tips about tone, the lyric I, and how to challenge stock narratives of caregiving to include communal and ecological stewardship. Speaker(s): Presenter: Majda Gama Moderator: Amanda Shaw Presenter: JOANNA FUHRMAN Presenter: Kyoko Mori Presenter: Sandra Beasley

I put a Mexican flag sticker on my old Tacoma abd was promptly pulled over by ICE in San Antonio. I'm happy to waste their time 1d RookaTX This is the way Scooby • RookaTX Their big question was like, "why the sticker" I told them it was on the truck when I bought it-and they suggested I remove it. Obnoxious creatures. 1d

White woman puts Mexican flag on her truck to waste ICE’s time.

Well, in the end it motivated us to move and we are happier where we landed.

We did the math on AI’s energy footprint. Here’s the story you haven’t heard. The emissions from individual AI text, image, and video queries seem small—until you add up what the industry isn’t tracking and consider where it’s heading next.

For all of the educators trying to deal with AI, I did a deep dive in early June and these are the four articles I decided to assign to my students.
