Bless the resistance and everybody who works in it.

Before they were arrested- Vets are demanding an end to the war on Iran at the Cannon Building in Washington, D.C.
I spent today at the hospital and didn’t see a single respirator (other than my own).
There were a few people wearing surgical masks.
Signs saying it was a “mask friendly” environment.
No free masks.
No mask mandates.
Tons of coughing & sickness.
Masks belong in healthcare. Period.
Emails released on Monday by California’s attorney general show Amazon allegedly colluding with other companies to raise the prices of pet treats, khaki pants, eyedrops and other products sold online

A grid photo of 16 different characters all played by the legend Tim Curry.
Tim Curry, the absolute legend, turns 80 today. This man took huge swings.
Palantir is a menace to society. Its "Manifesto" reads like a very bad Hollywood science fiction dystopia movie.

I don’t think we talk nearly enough about the fact that corporations like Amazon, don’t pay a single cent to maintain the roads they use, the transportation system they use, the courts they use, they pay nothing for the infrastructure that is absolutely critical to their business.

Tashkent is a magical portal.
On this day in 1989, NYPD officers arrested five teenagers—four of whom were Black and one of whom was Latino—subjected them to coercive interrogation, and charged them with rape despite their innocence. All were sentenced to 5-13 years.

“Patel’s drinking has been a recurring source of concern across the government. They said that he is known to drink to the point of obvious intoxication….On multiple occasions in the past year, members of his security detail had difficulty waking Patel because he was seemingly intoxicated…”

900lb crates full of onions in a field
The Coachella music festival is in the news with the minimum price of sold out 3-day ticket costing $549. Contrast that with "Nicolas" who is currently harvesting onions in the Coachella area and getting paid $22 for a $900lb crate. #WeFeedYou #coachella2026

We secured the release of 14 people from detention this week.
We’ve already surpassed what we spent on bonds all of last year—and released more people than we did in all of 2025. And we’re not even halfway through the year.
