The short version? Things are fucked particularly with the back rent situation. That's our deadline to not get evicted again. Right now, best way to help is donations if you can. Here's the link for that: paypal.me/tormentedart...

I just got an email from my local greyhound rescue that Caliente, the dog track at Tijuana, is closing. If you're in southern California and thought about a retired racer this might be a great time to reach out to an adoption group. Retired track dogs make awesome pets.

This will be one about hope, though maybe not "hope" as it is usually meant.
Hope is a defiant act taken against those who would sabotage any act of reparation—and sabotaging repair is exactly what fascism does.
For this reason, hope is what is needed right now.

This is a heartening thread comparing likes, posts, and shares on Bluesky, Threads, and X. There's also information about a climate change scientists regular posting. Bluesky performed really well -- and the difference between positive responses and trolling is dramatic.

Man, if it turns out that the right winger telling NY Times readers that they should follow his example and not vote did in fact vote in the last two elections, the Times should add this to the piece. Better than a retraction, since it illustrates a willful hypocrisy.

TIL that the New Wave band DEVO was formed in response to the Kent State shootings. In 1970, co-founders Gerald Casale and Bob Lewis got serious about their idea of the "de-evolution" of the human race after Casale's friends Jeffrey Miller & Allison Krause were killed by OH national guards.

Thought experiment: Imagine if Obama, after claiming an election had been stolen from him and being convicted of 34 felonies, was granted immunity by SCOTUS justices who had taken undisclosed luxury trips on George Soros' dime. The fact that you can't even imagine this scenario tells you something.

“Canada is such a northern country, don’t we want a little global warming?” I often hear.
In a nutshell, NO.
We’re warming 2x faster than the rest of the world, driving extreme heat, flood, and sea level rise we are not prepared for. The wildfire season started in Feb this year. Feb!
