The country where they have a system where they think God chose you to be in the monarchy by birth arrested a royal Epstein co-conspirator while our elected president who is in the files many thousands more times with worse allegations is not even facing impeachment.

You can tell that the Trump admin is full of abusers based on the rhetoric they use. Homan really just pulled a, “I wouldn’t be hitting you if you hadn’t made me so mad,” during his comments on MN.

Calling the Gestapo “the Gestapo” is causing the Gestapo to act like the Gestapo.

I need folks to internalize that for every injustice we see there are many we do not see. There are many Liams that have been disappeared into detention that we must also find and bring home. That we must care for even though we don’t know their names.

I’ve finally realized that the *magic* of the magic scotch tape is that it disappears every time I want to wrap Christmas gifts.

I love the thrill of clicking a Wolf and Badger ad because you might click a gorgeous dress and it’s $150 or you might click and it’s more than your mortgage.

Serious question: can we remove the rainbow paint from the crosswalk and then build something amazing above the street level instead?

For Labor Day, I thought I'd recommend some books that have stood out in helping me think about work, how we relate to it, the relationship between labor and capital, the history of labor, and what the future might hold. 1/8

🌀 Houston knows hurricanes and floods. Disaster relief isn’t a luxury—it’s a lifeline.
This week Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse is hosting a roundtable in Kashmere Gardens to discuss community recovery and affordable flood insurance for affected neighborhoods.

“The Kashmere Garden Community and surrounding areas are suffering; the denial of claims made to FEMA is disappointing.” - Host of this Roundtable Huey German-Wilson stated. Climate change can be confusing especially in underserved communities. #climatejustice #roundtable #FEMA

If they are announcing repeatedly that it’s a completely full flight and I see you put your carry on AND backpack in the overhead, just know you are being watched and judged accordingly.

Apparently TikTok is convinced a hurricane will hit Houston this weekend In brief: In today’s post we take a quick temperature check on TikTok, which seems hot and bothered about the possibility of a hurricane hitting Houston. In the real world, we discuss the for…

We take a temperature check on TikTok, which seems hot and bothered about the possibility of a hurricane hitting Houston. IRL, we discuss the forecast for the week ahead, which includes an elevated chance of rain on Friday from a tropical disturbance that should move into Louisiana.

Thinking about how bad we can be at creating effective systems for organizing. While we don’t have to over professionalize our spaces, we absolutely can and should treat our work with the level of seriousness we do our workplace responsibilities without making it overly formal or uninviting.

Bored at the airport and so just posting into the void:

Why is gate seating at IAH so sparse? There are way more people standing at my gate than there are seats.

Did they consider googling how many passengers sit on a plane?

Opinion | Texas lawmakers could have funded emergency response systems — but they didn’t Even before dozens died in flood waters on July 4, Texas ranked first in the U.S. in number of deaths due to natural disasters.

Even with the increasing threat of natural disasters, Texas lawmakers and officials have been largely asleep at the wheel — unable or unwilling to take better precautions that, in hindsight, seem both necessary and painfully obvious.

Did you know Harris County filed 76,321 evictions in 2024 - 20% above pre-pandemic levels. Nearly half of all renter households are housing cost burdened. One missed paycheck shouldn't mean losing your home. #HarrisCounty

If you’re anything like me, you’ll put it in the washer and then rewash it when you remember in a couple of days that you started laundry. So…I don’t know!

“Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed.”

What Eisenhower said over 70 years ago is even more true today.

When they try to explain to us that we have to engage in preemptive strikes on Iran because they could have weapons of mass destruction, we should remember Iraq and the words spoken by our president at the time:

“Fool me once, shame on you…

Fool me, you can’t get fooled again.”

I'm sure Talia is sick of posting this every time so I'll do it. Wild Faith is available from wherever books are sold

“A deranged maniac impersonated a police officer and killed lawmakers but if you’re an immigrant be sure you immediately comply with plain clothes people who won’t identify themselves telling you to get in a van”, what a fuckin country

I know there's a lot going on, but the Secretary of Homeland Security declaring that federal troops are in California and Los Angeles to "liberate" the state and city from its duly-elected leaders really is a fourteen-alarm fire.

The news this morning is a terrible underscore to Governor Walz’s appeal

2 More Years of Harm: TEA Doubles Down on Failed HISD Takeover Promoting community-led school reform to strengthen our public school system

On Mon, TEA extended the harmful HISD takeover for 2 more years—doubling down on a failed experiment that’s actively harming students.

The 4 new board members seem handpicked to sell off HISD real estate piece by piece, put exec salaries 1st and kids dead last.
