Kid’s first protest. On the way home he said “I don’t see how that changes anything.” I said “did you hear all the people honking that they agree?” “Yeah.” “They felt less alone in their pain today. That’s not nothing.”
Child holds sign saying “My Future will not be fascist.” Adult holds sign saying “America is not a company town.” Both are wearing masks and gloves.

I just want to thank Vivian Wilson. Someone called her our “Katniss,” and she quickly shut that down. “I’m wealthy, Katniss is poor from Appalachia.” I didn’t have a name for my culture until I was an adult. The unexpected validation made me want to cry

MTG is an actress. I belief she means she will drop the act, but she’s still a horrible person

When the right loses both Joe Rogan and Marjorie Taylor Greene on the issues in the same week, you know it’s going to get rough for Republicans.

Joe Rogan on ICE: “The way it looks is just horrific.”

QAnon queen MTG on the economy: “I’m just living in reality from here on out.”

George Stephanopolous did what every anchor and host should have been doing since Bush 2000: Rejecting the bullshit, gaslighting, and rude, evasive filibustering the GOP has perfected to hide their lies.

NO MORE BULLSHIT.

What if I’m very annoyed by Amy because I’m the eldest non-binary daughter and Amy is irritating? I don’t HATE her, I just find her superficial and annoying.

#NationalHispanicHeritageMonth

On May 6, 1937, more than 5,000 mostly Latina women marched in Ybor City and downtown Tampa, Fla., to protest fascism in Spain and around the world. The Antifascist Women’s March was one of the largest demonstrations led by Latinas in U.S. history. /1

McDonald’s feels so dystopian. The Monopoly streamers, the bad Shania Twain cover, the black and white theme.

I thought this was lovely.
"A few years ago I received a DM from Zohran Kwame Mamdani. Only recently did I discover its existence. It was a very unusual DM—especially coming from a local assemblyman who would soon be running for higher office. He had very little name recognition at the time, and could have benefited from publicity. But unlike the thousands of messages I’ve received from people with something to promote, Zohran did not ask to be featured on Humans of New York. Instead he asked if he could introduce me to taxi drivers that were struggling beneath the burden of debt. Coming from a man with political ambitions, this self-denying request was so strange as to be almost singular. I don’t endorse politicians on Humans of New York. But I’ll endorse a good man. And it was a good man who cleared 30 minutes from his schedule yesterday to swing by Grand Central and visit Dear New York’s Vanderbilt Hall Exhibition. Nearly fifty-student artists were visiting that day with their families, and I thought a surprise visit from this widely-loved future mayor would be a special memory for all of them. Before Zohran’s arrival I was convinced I’d made a terrible mistake. The exhibit was filled to capacity with adult visitors. Dear New York is self-funded so there was very little staff and security for crowd control. In the crush of people I was almost certain this special day for the kids would devolve into thirty minutes of selfie requests. But everyone rose to the occasion." black text on white background "Hundreds of adults quickly cleared the room and stood outside the exhibit. Eleven very notable adult photographers are also featured in the show, but even they took a step back, so that these students could briefly have the stage to themselves. Each child stood by their work and Zohran was able to meet all of them, one at a time, and honor their contributions to the most-visited art show in New York City. Thanks to everyone who ceded the stage yesterday to make this moment possible. Thank you Zohran for literally sitting down on the floor so that these young artists could feel so tall. Thanks for continually centering other people in your life and work. And thank you, for being such an important part of Dear New York." A large group of children and adults pose together indoors in front of a sign reading "DEAR." A man in a suit sits cross-legged in front, surrounded by smiling kids. The background features an ornate architectural detail.

The NYT, Atlantic, WaPo, CNN, Guardian and others have all refused to sign Pete Hegseth new rules on reporting from the Pentagon. As far as I can tell only OAN has signed it. I guess this is Hegseth waving goodbye to their access to the Pentagon and other DOD facilities.

No Kings Means No Paychecks.

Literally saying if you don't pay fealty, you don't get YOUR OWN TAX MONEY BACK. You really couldn't write a bigger advertisement for this thing.

I swear if the elected Dems fold before this.

I was teaching a group of 9-12 year olds this weekend. They all hated AI. I’m hoping this forces people off their phones.

Please remember that the disgust people have over Christopher Columbus is not based on some modern, 21st century “woke” ideology, but rather on contemporaneous accounts of atrocities that make many modern genocides appear quaint in comparison.

Below, are the accounts of Bartlomé de las Casas.
But too many of the slaves died in captivity. And so Columbus, desperate to pay back dividends to those who had in-vested, had to make good his promise to fill the ships with gold. In the province of Cicao on Haiti, where he and his men imagined huge gold fields to exist, they ordered all persons fourteen years or older to collect a certain quantity of gold every three months. When they brought it, they were given copper tokens to hang around their necks. Indians found without a copper token had their hands cut off and bled to death. The Indians had been given an impossible task. The only gold around was bits of dust garnered from the streams. So they fled, were hunted down with dogs, and were killed. After each six or eight months' work in the mines, which was the time required of each crew to dig enough gold for melting, up to a third of the men died. While the men were sent many miles away to the mines, the wives remained to work the soil, forced into the excruciating job of digging and making thousands of hills for cassava plants. Thus husbands and wives were together only once every eight or ten months and when they met they were so exhausted and depressed on both sides... they ceased to pro-create. As for the newly born, they died early because their mothers, overworked and fam-ished, had no milk to nurse them, and for this reason, while I was in Cuba, 7000 children died in three months. Some mothers even drowned their babies from sheer desper-ation.... In this way, husbands died in the mines, wives died at work, and children died from lack of milk ... and in a short time this land which was so great, so powerful and fer-tile... was depopulated... My eyes have seen these acts so foreign to human nature, and now I tremble as I write....

You gotta give ‘em hop.
A tweet from the Anonymous account says, “Make sure the dude in the frog costume in Portland knows he's an icon.” The image is a stylized poster of a frog wearing a stars-and-stripes scarf with the word “HOP” below, in the style of the Obama “HOPE” poster.
