1. It's a fun action movie. A line that got cut but sums up some of my overall feelings: This Odyssey is not a rich, satisfying Homeric banquet, but sometimes in the heat, an ice-cold Philly water ice is all you want - even it's mostly sugar and food coloring, and makes no nutritional sense.

polling shows that the main axis for voters is fight, not fight fucking fight the people who are committed, every single day, to destroying everyone and everything we care about we don't want you posting pictures of you wearing matching seersucker with fascists

"The Trump administration is reviewing its process for vetting U.S. immigration officers after reports that a man allegedly involved in the fatal shooting of an immigrant in Maine had a history of violent outbursts, a senior White House official said." https://wapo.st/4pIcTPQ

RFK Jr. has been transforming a government that long championed vaccines into one that questions their safety. This is what could happen over the next 25 years if shots are unavailable even to the people who want them. (Published March)

good article and, crucially, a good list at the end of cookware/kitchenware lines that are still quality (and family owned)

I took a hard look at the financial donors to ICE’s biggest supporters in Congress. These are people who want to significantly expand ICE’s power and have sponsored or co-sponsored legislation to do so. Here are the top 25 consumer brands bankrolling the biggest ICE supporters in Congress:

"No ambulances for paramedics in Beaverton, Oregon. & now, no money for police departments to process rape kits in Fresno, as the administration threatens to withhold federal grants for critical services from cities that won't sign deals to work with ICE." https://bit.ly/4fnHmhm

The DNC is having financial woes? But I got like a dozen emails asking me to donate to their fight against Trump and Fascism... did everybody see them saying they wouldn't push impeachment and voting for his nominees in the senate?!

At least 79 kids have been harmed by tear gas or pepper spray during Trump’s immigration crackdown. In most cases, they were going about their days when officers shot chemical munitions near their homes and schools and into their cars. (Published May)
