Senator Ted Cruz posted a dramatic video of LAPD cars on fire with the caption “this… is… not… peaceful.” What he didn’t mention? The footage was from 2020, not 2025. His post on X falsely implied it was current, part of a broader effort to spread lies and manufacture a crisis.

This is what our crosswalks look like in North Beach, San Francisco. You'll also find flags and signs with these colors all over the place in this and other Italian neighborhoods around the U.S.
Shut the fuck up about "flying foreign flags" in the U.S. It's not a crime. It's tradition.

Was chatting w/ an old art director friend that a whole sub genre of corporate art is effectively dead.
A prediction made years ago by cartoonist @davekellett.bsky.social
That a whole class of commercial art is gone now thanks to AI. Under a certain sized business will never hire artists/designers.

Texas Republicans have introduced a last-minute bill targeting anyone who helps a teenager get an out-of-state abortion. While they’re framing the legislation as an effort to ‘protect’ minors, it’s really all about punishment and isolation.

I don’t know about you guys but after watching Parkinson’s ravage my father for years only for it to one day steal his capability to breathe and swallow…. I don’t want a single HOUR of progress lost on the possibility that one day someone doesn’t have to go through the same.
NEW: No fewer than 10 principle scientists at NIH investigating emerging infectious diseases and neural disorders were among those fired by RFK Jr. today.
One is an esteemed scientist awarded for breakthrough research into the causes of Parkinson's disease.

How does a man like Putin, who grew up in a rat infested apartment end up being worth $200 billion and owning a house as such. Without ever working in any business?
He becomes a President and steals from the people.
This is where we are at. Now imagine it’s America. How much can they steal?

They’ve called armed federal officers to the scene. We aren’t dangerous. We are here to represent our people. To defend public education. This is an authoritarian regime. You cannot block members of Congress from entering the Department of Education.
