“The Keaton family are very grateful for the extraordinary messages of love & support
She loved animals & she was steadfast in her support of the unhoused community, so any donations in her memory to a local food bank or an animal shelter would be a wonderful and much appreciated tribute to her”

Every single variant of "so much for the tolerant left" can continue to get fucked.

If "conservatives" are only willing to denounce what's happening if they get immediately showered with praise for their courage and forgiven for taking so long, then no one needs what they bring to the table.

The most powerful force in American politics today is anti-establishment rage at a system that’s rigged against most people.

Democrats should ignore the carping of corporate-backed Wall Street Democrats and embrace Zohran Mamdani and other young progressives as the future of the party.

new @teenvogue.com: students at the 9 colleges invited to Trump's "college compact" have been pushing their universities to reject it.

+ a bit of a scoop: @sunrisemvmt.bsky.social tells us that they're launching a national coalition to support students pushing their schools to fight the Trump admin

College Students and Faculty Resist Trump’s “Free Speech” Funding Scheme

Nine universities across the country were given a test of loyalty from the Trump administration. Now, students are demanding their schools not sign the president’s 10 point compact agreement.

Extremely tempting (though also, likely, tiresomely America-centric) to read this Nobel selection as at least a partial strategic "Now what, smartass?" to Trump/Rubio:
Machado is the leader of Venezeula's opposition, so technically THEIR ally against Maduro.

a lot of people are finally waking up to the importance of the 3rd amendment. As a 3A absolutist, i think it should be illegal for soldiers to be quartered anywhere in this country. they should be camping under the open sky at all times. all military bases and barracks are unconstitutional.
