Holy shiiiiiit

Stephen Miller just said the quiet part out loud claiming that Trump has plenary authority when it comes to deploying troops. (Plenary means full authority.) After making the statement, he froze completely, like a deer in headlights. The video is worth watching.

No they fucking didn’t—they said another manufacturer can make generic mifepristone, the same drug that’s been on the market for 25 years

A family of 3, outlined in green, hide behind a roaring bear, as large foreboding black shadows with nightsticks and helmets lurk behind it. A green star outstretched at their feet as they try to hide from view. Text at the bottom reads in call caps: "SHIELD YOUR NEIGHBORS"

A massive supermarket strike is brewing, with 150,000 workers moving toward a walkout.

56,000 workers in Washington, Idaho and Oregon have voted to authorize strikes at Albertsons and Kroger.

Grocery workers across Colorado have also authorized a strike, and more could follow.

This is a great tier list. In case I haven’t said it explicitly: we are so fortunate to have @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social and @bradlander.bsky.social in the race. I can personally attest, they show up for our communities, they care, and both are worthy of your enthusiastic vote. Do not rank Cuomo!

Again, of course, we acknowledge that the master-plan for imposing lawlessness on a minority of the population by using the law to do it was Jim Crow, and the Nazis borrowed it extensively.

HAPPENING NOW: Hello from Greenbelt, MD, where a federal judge will hear arguments over whether the Trump administration can invoke the state secrets privilege to withhold information about what it has done to facilitate Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s return to the US.

Some Senior VP at Target: Sir we thought The Blacks (TM) would let this go and come back but they haven't come back. They haven't come back sir!

Just landed in El Salvador to discuss release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia YouTube video by Senator Chris Van Hollen

I just landed in San Salvador a little while ago, and I look forward to meeting with the team at the U.S. embassy to discuss the release of Mr. Abrego Garcia.

I also hope to meet with Salvadoran officials and with Kilmar himself. He was illegally abducted and needs to come home.

When Amazon launched in 1995, there were 5,500 indie bookshops in the U.S., with 7,000 locations. By May of 2023, that number had decreased to 2,185 indies & 2,599 locations.

When you purchase audiobooks via Libro.fm vs. Audible, you directly support indie bookshops. Let's make that number grow ❤️

If I had a nickel for every time the protagonist receives a weird letter and has to rescue someone dear from a creepy moldy house with the help of a mushroom-obsessed side character I would have 2 nickels. Which isn't a lot but it's strange that this has happened twice.💙📚
