Every photo I see of Nolan Wells’ family breaks my heart all over again We owe them, we owe Black children, so much better theconversation.com/white-parent...

White parents who tell their kids that race doesn’t matter are ignoring the long shadow of racism

18-year old Nolan Wells’ death in Mississippi has raised again the importance of ‘the talk’ that Black parents have with their children. But what do white parents tell their kids about race?

To be very clear, extrajudiciously killing people you suspect are drug traffickers is *also* murder

CNN@cnn.com · 2d ago

The US military’s strikes on alleged drug boats have likely illegally killed “individuals who are not involved in narcotrafficking,” Sen. Tim Kaine told the White House, following “a careful review” of classified information he has seen so far.

So am I getting it right that if you’re a dictator, you don’t have to pay taxes, but the rest of us proletariat do? Is that the decision we made today?

the obsession with trans women in sports is, apart from the abject bigotry, a symptom of how we take amateur sports participation way too seriously in this country.

I have thoughts on Bernie Moreno that take nothing away from the very real trauma his daughter suffered. Bernie Moreno rightfully called out Max Miller as dangerous. But his own party stripped the ability of refugees to claim asylum on the basis of gender based or intimate partner violence.

The diarrhea lettuce company, Taylor Farms, uses slave labor contracted from the Arizona Dept. of Corrections. The backbreaking labor is often performed by imprisoned Mexican nationals who would be otherwise ineligble to work in the US. They are paid $1.50 an hour.

The Diarrhea Lettuce Company Has Been Linked to Forced Labor

The lettuce-producing Taylor Farms was linked to the widespread use of prison labor before its involvement in a cyclospora outbreak.

President Trump decided to buy 11 polar icebreakers, worth almost $7 billion, after a game of golf with Finland’s president. The question, experts say, is how many the U.S. really needs. nyti.ms/4hK355K

For years, researchers have found links between abortion restrictions and mental illness for women and girls. Now, new research shows that in U.S. states with strict abortion bans, teen girls bans experience higher rates of suicidal ideation than those in states without bans.

Abortion bans may be fueling a 'concerning increase' in suicidal thoughts among teen girls

A new study found a significant increase in suicidal ideation for teen girls in states with abortion bans — regardless of if they are pregnant. There was no increase for teen boys.

What do you mean, “the technology is already out there”? So was technology for the floppy disk, but we were able to make that obsolete. We can do the same for AI.

Took my baby on her first flight this week and she spent the whole flight trying to open the curtain between first class and Coach and yelling into the first class cabin so I’m feeling pretty good about raising a class conscious child.

I for one am so impressed that Ken Jennings is attacking trans people for something as important as…checks notes…a NYTimes word game.

Oh hey, just FYI, there is no "good faith" argument against trans women in sports. There's just being a transphobic asshole, or not being a transphobic asshole.

Chicago teen shares his experience in ICE detention centers: I am 18 years old and I just graduated from high school in Chicago. I was in ICE detention for 2 months and 10 days. They kept me in solitary for 2 days for no reason, alone in a room with just a toilet. They never let us go outside.

Hey, great FIFA Peace Prize you got there.

In 2026 so far, the Trump admin has bombed: —Iran—14,000+ strikes; 1 JSOC mission —Somalia—strikes on 66 days —Caribbean/E. Pacific—31 strikes —Iraq—strikes on 26+ days —Syria—strikes on 18 days —Arabian Sea—9 strikes —Nigeria—strikes on 3 days; 1 JSOC raid —Venezuela—strikes on 2 days; 1 JSOC raid

This is framed as a feel-good story, but it should scare the wits out of anybody on the road. Tesla's deceptive marketing is convincing seniors that the cars drive themselves. In reality, a human must always be ready to intervene. If someone lacks the ability to do that, they shouldn't be driving!

Forget rideshare. How seniors are using Teslas for transportation

As Waymo and Tesla robotaxi services promise more rides for more cities, seniors are taking matters into their own hands and self-driving Teslas.

What a delight that Lindsey Graham’s unqualified sister has been in office for 4.5 seconds and has also signed on to co-sponsor anti abortion legislation.

It’s a little known fact that Elon Musk used IVF because his penis is shaped like a swastika.

Literally do not know how I will celebrate hard enough.

My thirteen month old just looked at me and asked, “mamá, why is FIFA so biased towards Argentina and what can be done about it?”

I don't want Spain to win, I just want Argentina to lose.

If Argentina win, It needs to happen.

Jessie Losch@jessielosch.bsky.social · 4w ago

I think this is my fault. I said on a meeting this morning that I’d trade an Argentina win if it means The Thing would happen. I’m so sorry.

Took the baby on an early morning walk today so we could both get a little air before it turns poisonous again. It’s always so funny to me how askance people look at me when I have a baby and a pro abortion shirt.
