We asked people who lived in homeless encampments that were cleared out in city “sweeps” to write about what object was the hardest for them to lose.

If Mamdani and Obama singing The Wheels On The Bus with a group of tiny kids doesn't spark some sort of joy in you, I've got nothing for you.
If everyone got a receipt for their taxes breaking it down like this, I think our country would look totally different

"The Mexican government has voiced concern about the deaths of its citizens in US custody, with Mexican president Claudia Sheinbaum also pushing back against the Trump administration’s decision to impose an energy blockade on Cuba."

Days after the president blasted the Pope as “weak on Crime,” his own DOJ moved to dismiss criminal cases against individuals convicted of conspiring to use force to prevent the peaceful transfer of power.

Thank you @snellarthur.bsky.social for your continued focus on Ukraine, for the space to talk about my recent trip, and for your generous championing of my reporting 💪
It's the 7th month of the US bombing random ships in Latin American waters they claim are drug smugglers (reminder that two survivors who were rescued were repatriated, not charged), and the death toll is 150+, and it barely gets discussed.
I hope more people focus on the import of this turnout last year. Not least bc standing up to bigotry can itself be a rallying cry.
for sure, congratulations to magyar. but the real heroes imo are those in civil society & journalism & rank-and-file opposition & academia who have fought against the disintegration of rule of law, the weaponization of the courts/media, & so much more for so long. 🇭🇺
holy shit he actually conceded
folks, they tell you they’re invincible
they tell you they’re inevitable
they tell you that you should give up and stop fighting
and absolutely none of that is true
From EARTHSEED: THE BOOKS OF THE LIVING Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought. To be led by a coward is to be controlled by all that the coward fears. To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists who control the fool. To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen. To be led by a liar is to ask to be told lies. To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.
Octavia E. Butler, 1998:
Let's feel good. This is the latest in a string of victories against fascism around the globe. I'm thinking of Koreans thwarting the autogolpe and convicting Yoon Suk Yeol, and Brazilians convicting Bolsonaro. And in the US, we are very well positioned for November midterms.
Orban has lost. What a great day! (Unlike some sundowning clowns we know, he has admitted he lost, too.)
As we await the Hungarian election results, it’s worth remembering that Orban first rode to power using the same antisemitic Soros conspiracy theories that fuel MAGA. The US consultant who gave him the idea (Finkelstein) got his start selling Goldwater and then Reagan in the US.
Image of Tony Carruthers, a Black man wearing a jacket. Underneath that image, there is text reading "Tennessee is rushing to execute Tony Carruthers without considering critical evidence that could prove his innocence."
The state of Tennessee is planning to execute Tony Carruthers for a crime he didn’t commit, all because they refuse to carry out DNA and fingerprint testing from the scene of the crime.
The more I read about AI as both a business and an applied technology, the more I’m convinced we have been utterly conned.
All this because Donald Trump couldn't abide the idea of a Black president having a success. This war may have been triggered by his desire to distract from Epstein...but his tearing up the JCPOA (like his Nobel Prize obsession) is driven by his profound and unyielding racism.
We (global south people who come from legacies of dictatorships supported by US via school or Americas) have been saying this. Want to understand? Read up on Chile and Pinochet
