Update: South Texas advocacy groups want to add the Texas Space Commission and Starbase to its lawsuit over beach closures near SpaceX in Brownsville.

This after the #txlege passed new laws giving those two entities control over the beach.

I think people take for granted the ability to post freely on the internet. Our ability to do so is endangered. Social media isn't going away but the powers that be are hyper focused on making it an echo chamber

Police Said They Surveilled Woman Who Had an Abortion for Her 'Safety.' Court Records Show They Considered Charging Her With a Crime Court records show that the narrative Flock and a Texas Sheriff's Office has told the public isn't the whole story, and that police were conducting a 'death investigation' into the abortion.

NEW: In May, a Texas police department said they used the powerful Flock surveillance network against a woman who had an abortion "for her safety"

Newly obtained court records show it was a 'death investigation,' and they considered charging her with a crime

Rock Hudson. Doris Day. Tony Randall. Thelma Ritter. PILLOW TALK.

Heaven have mercy on us all—Presbyterians and Pagans alike—for we are all somehow dreadfully cracked about the head, and sadly need mending

mark your calendars!

Strange days indeed

Texas once feared a phantom federal occupation. Now Gov. Abbott’s troops are helping carry it out under Trump. And Houston may be next, writes the Houston Chronicle editorial board. bit.ly/48Q3D5C

It is not supportive to maintaining the fabric of society to say that everyone should have to bear the cost of stuff like crypto mining or AI data centers when neither are public goods and are damaging to the limited public goods we have left

Well, yeah, we're suing ICE.

This wasn't really a hard decision. As little faith as we have in institutions, we recognize the value of drawing visible lines in the sand. We drew ours personally a while ago, but better late than never.

May every protester be freed and may this occupation end.

No Good Art Comes From Greed | Defector The packages arrived square and thin and carefully wrapped on Saturday afternoon. There were three of them, but only one was mine. If I could have rejected my package, sent it back from whence it…

I haven't caught OBAA yet because I'm not a fan of PTA's films in general. I will likely watch it eventually, but I am not making an effort to go see it 😅

there’s real conflict and then there’s the rhetorical political conflict the national media cares about. the guard became the story because JB Pritzker got on his water taxi and did a press conference attacking Trump. He has yet to show up at Broadview, Brighton Park, Logan or South Shore.

A white sign that says JB, your words mean nothing, come to Broadview in person, demand an inspection, put your billions where your mouth is, or are you just like every other politician?

Here is a sign that asks @govpritzker.illinois.gov to come to Broadview, where Illinois State police are helping ICE execute their terrible duties. Protesters have been brutalized & attacked for no reason. Please stop talking a good game on social media & actually do something about this Governor

K-Pop Demon Hunters is legitimately the global cultural phenomenon of 2025 and honestly there are far worse things to be a cultural touchstone this year than a trio of young women fighting literal soul-sucking hegemony through the power of their art

lol society hates moms and then gets mad and surprised when women are like "nah, motherhood ain't for me". 🤷🏿‍♀️

Luckily, computers aren't sentient. And they never will be. But the fact that people THINK they own sentient creatures and aren't troubled by that idea is... deeply worrying

Love this cartoon title sequence for The Lady Eve (1941).

The regime is acting this way because there are no consequences so it is clear that consequences—the development of them, the advocacy for them, the imposition on bad behavior—are the answer to our crisis.

ISP gets in formation and a number of them march away from the intersection, toward the parking lot neighboring the ICE facility (it belongs to a business, not ICE's lot).

The crowd starts a rendition of The Imperial March.

My kid is in 6th grade and his class is trying to fundraise for their annual science camp trip; one of the fundraising things is selling Tshirts and tote bags so I made them this image to use 😎 inspired by the 84 Olympics and Koala Blue, Olivia Newton John’s chain of stores in LA 💖

I remember those Koala Blue shirts! 😮💙💙🐨

Masked protesters hold a banner that says “open the charges and free them all.”
