Here’s your periodic reminder that Linda McMahon has been on a year long nationwide “tour” where she goes into public schools to discuss “best community practices” with teachers, parents, and leaders.

I don't want a "Smart Fridge" that orders milk for me. I want a fridge that lasts 25 years and doesn't have a privacy policy that allows it to share my late-night snacking habits with my health insurance provider.

spent 13 years professionally reporting on right wing media, especially fox. and ive written about them for 26 years overall. the idea that you define your party around avoiding issues "that fox news will attack you over" is stupid. theres literally nothing fox wont twist into an attack. nothing.

A dark money campaign is offering influencers $1,500 per post to attack Abdul El-Sayed and support Haley Stevens. Same exact dollar figure that was paid to attack @katmabu.bsky.social (Nobody ever found out who was paying for that campaign.) Gross, lazy and above all cynical shit.

With that U-visa certification, ICE won't be able to easily deport the witnesses to Lorenzo's shooting. "According to the English translation in the filing, Lorenzo Salgado Araujo said, “Ya me mataron,” translated in the document as, “They’ve already killed me.”"

Made a home version of something we had at a local place. Texas toast on the bottom like an open faced sandwich. Topped with french fries, pulled pork, and cheese sauce. They did a beer cheese, but for convenience we used a premade white American one. Fuck me, that's some gluttonous good eating.

I was unaware, but add Dr. Bronner's to your list of pro-Palestine products. This is the specially labeled bottle of soap they will be giving away at special screenings of documentary about Palestinian olive farmers who supply most of their olive oil. More in alt text.

In June, Israeli newspaper Haaretz published a searing commentary from former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, titled: “Israel is Conducting a Systematic Campaign of Ethnic Cleansing and Crimes Against Humanity in the West Bank.” Regardless of your opinion of Olmert, his words should serve as a wake-up call — especially for those in the U.S. and Israel where many continue to deny the ongoing systemic and horrendous violence and displacement of Palestinians in the occupied West Bank. Since 2006, Dr. Bronner's has sourced about 90% of the olive oil in our castile soaps from Palestinian farmers in the West Bank through our fair trade and regenerative organic supplier, Canaan Palestine. Dr. Nasser Abufarha is the founder of Canaan Palestine, a dear friend and business partner, and the subject of the powerful documentary, “Land of Canaan,” which follows Palestinian farmers in the West Bank and their ancestral relationship with the ancient olive trees they’ve tended for generations. In support of the film, Dr. Bronner’s created a limited-edition soap label calling for peace in Palestine, available exclusively at select “Land of Canaan” screenings. At a time when these communities face escalating violence and displacement, we hope more people will bear witness, engage in solidarity, and support those working to protect Palestinian lives and ancestral lands. We call on all Jewish Americans and Israelis of conscience to acknowledge and confront the Jewish supremacy and lust for Palestinian land within Israel, and to not deny the reality of what lies at the center of Israeli power, politics, and policy. We can look back to the Freedom Riders for inspiration—Black and white people, a quarter of whom were Jewish, united together against racism—who journeyed through the American South on buses and trains in the 1960s to help our country reckon with segregation and institutionalized white supremacy. landofcanaanfilm.com

The Trump administration, which flooded Minnesota with immigration agents this year, argued that policies limiting cooperation with ICE were unconstitutional. The court ruled that ICE needs to do its own work and had no right to mobilize state and city resources for it peculiar schemes.

It’s PorchFest weekend here in Tacoma, a free all-ages walkable music festival where 100s of bands play on residential lawns and porches, and this year it’s lowkey antifascist fashion show. Just saw a young woman with a shirt that said “I.C.E. CAN GARGLE MY BALLS.” The youth are alright.

A quick word on Taco Bell: That's where we found the suspected lettuce, and it's not bc Taco Bell is gross. It's bc Taco Bell is REALLY GOOD at tracing product! Keeping track of exactly where they got their ingredients, & exactly what restaurants each shipment of ingredients went to!
