Buying new clothes for your kid going back to school? They're more expensive thanks to this administration's reckless tariff taxes.
Oh, HELL no! We cannot let this happen.
As if he hasn't done enough damage, the latest in Trump's assault on democracy is a vow to target mail-in voting again. This is a blatant attempt to silence Americans and hold onto power.
Our public health employees work hard to protect us. We owe it to them to return the favor. chng.it/vrW6sbLtKM
When platforms are forced to block “anything that might harm kids,” the result is overreach. A real rights-respecting solution to keeping people safe online is one that's built on user control, privacy, and smart design, not censorship. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...
Age verification has arrived in the UK and, to no one’s surprise, users hate it. We cannot accept these censorship regimes as our new norm. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...
We are losing the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which has helped educate, inform, and entertain millions of Americans. Instead, we’re getting a vulgar new gold ballroom, which none of us will ever see.
This from an administration claiming to be “free speech” advocates. op: bbcradio4 (via IG)
Their policies are already so unpopular, it’s no wonder congressional Republicans delayed the most harmful impacts until after the next election.
It's become clear that this administration is just a protracted war on anybody who's read a book without pictures in it. It's a miracle we're all still getting up and going to work every morning. The psychological drain is the point, and I'm increasingly grateful to the people who are still decent.

When a government starts targeting former intelligence officials, law enforcement leaders, and anyone who once investigated or criticized those in power, it’s not just a red flag, it’s a page straight from the authoritarian playbook.
Wishing everyone a happy Fourth of July! 249 years since we declared independence from a king, the work of living up to our founding promise is more important than ever - and it calls on each of us to do what we can for our country.
I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.
Representative Hakeem Jeffries of New York has now passed the four-hour mark in his floor speech. Keep going, we’re with you!
The deaths per hour number hit me pretty hard. www.impactcounter.com/dashboard?vi...
Wow: ICE Has Deported at Least 70 U.S. Citizens
This statement from Jonathan Joss's husband is heart breaking. No, headline writers, he wasn't "killed in an argument with a neighbor." He was *deliberately murdered* for being gay right after his dog was decapitated. Bet the murderer calls himself a "Christian." THIS is why Pride is important.
Having the longer descriptions as click targets would also be a better mobile experience.
Next time someone in Congress glibly dismisses your need for healthcare, remember that they have some of the best healthcare in the country. And it was paid for by YOU.
I don’t know how many times we have to say this, but the U.S. government is not a business and shouldn’t be run like one. It’s a service—for the people.
At some point the richest of the rich stopped seeing money as a tool and started seeing it as a "high score". That is a turning point where things went from bad to worse in this country.
Billionaire tax cuts are a policy choice. Cutting healthcare for millions is a policy choice. Cutting food assistance for children is a policy choice. Taking from the poor and giving to the rich is a policy choice. Make no mistake: Trump and the GOP are choosing to do this.
Why bother registering to vote in the PSC primary? There are more giant data centers being built in GA than anywhere else in the US. This affects our grid, how it functions, what electricity costs consumers and communities, our environment… Let’s vote in folks who listen to what Georgians want!

How is this month already half over?
Nice to still be able to count on The Onion for the gallows humor that we need. theonion.com/trump-admini...
A new clock-watching anthem just dropped. www.youtube.com/watch?v=xcEv...
This feels like the right song to kick off Beltane and May Day with this year. www.youtube.com/watch?v=kj28...
This is petty. The FBI has reassigned several agents simply for being photographed kneeling in solidarity with racial justice protesters in D.C. during the 2020 demonstrations after George Floyd’s murder.
Right now feels like a dot of the i moment.
Jeremy Bearimy is one of my favorite Good Place concepts. History and progress are not linear. The line between Lexington and Concord and this country fulfilling its promises is as curvy as that famous signature. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xv8F...
Delighted to see a new World Order track posted. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4FK6...

To the world: We are fighting back. Our movement has been silenced by the media here—but we are not backing down. This is what our streets looked like across multiple cities. Tomorrow, there will be more of us! Raise a glass to freedom. —With love, Your American allies.
Nero fiddled while Rome burned. Trump golfed while the economic crisis he created wrecked our markets.

A big list of new music out today. www.npr.org/sections/all...
I’m heading to the Senate floor because Donald Trump and Elon Musk have shown a complete disregard for the rule of law, the Constitution, and the needs of the American people. You can tune in on CSPAN, YouTube, X, and Facebook.
Thank you, Senator Booker.
Longtime farmworker organizer Alfredo “Lelo” Juarez was pulled over while driving his wife to work. ICE agents shattered Juarez’s window and dragged him out of the vehicle for exercising his right to remain silent, his brother said. @nataschaelena.bsky.social reports: labornotes.org/blogs/2025/0...
Trump is threatening Federal Funding for Libraries; learn more and take action at saveimls.org.
There is no moral equivalence between bullies and the bullied, between tyranny and democracy, or between brutality and decency. No individual can be free in a society devoid of justice. There can be no liberty where brutality reigns.
That's all folks! 😿 www.the-independent.com/arts-enterta...
This song that a part of my brain still considers "new music" is 13 years old. www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-qh...
I left my glasses at home. Looks like I'm in for a blurry in-office day.
Windows are open and that means I hear the street sounds from the busy road nearby. Apparently somebody modded their horn to play Still D.R.E. Sometimes Atlanta still makes me smile.
You had me at Aurora / ATARASHII GAKKO! collab... www.youtube.com/watch?v=4sej...
As a fan of both libraries and game jams this is highly relevant to my interests.
No, it doesn't sound like economic leadership. It sounds like somebody wants to secure tax cuts for his billionaire friends consequences be damned.
"The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little." —FDR, 1937
That is true. It was basically the math Speak and Spell.
I had this calculator. I liked calculators and owls...especially owls that could count to three.
Some unsolicited advice from a former DJ...If you find a band via a hit song, check out some of their other tracks. You may be pleasantly surprised.
When a band has a breakout song that they always have to play, it can get tiring for them. Some bands even come to resent their big hit. Then there's Wheatus...They know exactly why you booked them, and they seem to be OK with it.
We need to stop putting people in charge that think of money as a high score. Money is a tool that is only as useful as the lives it improves.
Don't forget to do some self-care as you face... *gestures broadly* www.youtube.com/watch?v=I1_u...
More media controlling the narrative—The Washington Post refused to run an ad that said, “Fire Elon Musk.”
Doolittle always lives rent-free in my head, but lately I've been listening to the Pixies a lot even by my standards. www.youtube.com/watch?v=OncD...
We can't let this erasure stand. Learn the stories and tell them.
This administration has convinced half the country that the real problem isn’t the billionaires who evade taxes and collect government handouts, but the working class who pay taxes and get nothing in return.
Today's seed song. Anyone have covers of this song that they'd like to recommend? www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_I-...
Conflict of interest? The State Department’s procurement forecast lists Tesla as the recipient of the largest expected contract, with Marco Rubio’s department planning to purchase $400 million worth of “Armored Tesla” vehicles.
One of my favorite t-shirts is "I'm not procrastinating. I'm doing side quests."
Stranger Things Winona is an adult crush, so I guess I'm consistent.
I die a little inside every time someone feels the need to trot out "This won't just impact immigrant/transgender/BIPOC folks" to try to win people over.
That entire album will live rent-free in my head forever.
Apparently I'm already a solar punk fan and I just didn't realize it. It makes sense though.
Okay, pardon us, but F this. America, you’ve got to stand up.
And now for something completely different... Golden Sriracha Doritos are pretty good.
I wonder if this was a "year of the snake" pick.
Help them help us. Knowledge is power.
On the 52nd anniversary of Roe v. Wade, here's your reminder that there's nothing "pro-life" about abortion bans.
More obligatory proof of snow.
Poke bowl! It's you and me. This lunch is my destiny!
I was my healthiest and feeling my best when I was walking regularly. I need to get back in to that. www.npr.org/sections/sho...
I feel personally attacked that this qualifies as tasting history. 😆 Great episode with some interesting facts. www.youtube.com/watch?v=40Mv...
Coffee in all of its delicious forms. My current favorite is Vietnamese Coffee which is a pour-over style served with sweetened condensed milk. Got a Phin filter to make it at home recently.
Only one week away from Christmas day. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPPC...
The golden hour sky was beautiful today. Sadly I was in the car, so no picture.
