- A too on the nose metaphor when the venue for the global climate talks is on fire.
- A piece I wrote to try and wrap my brain around the current realm of bended reality we're living in. Defending a shared truth is crucial - so learn about what you can do about it. Thank you @luckytran.com for chatting with me.
- I’m not Romanian but it feels like Trump is in his 80s Ceaușescu phase

- Just to be clear: "No votes have taken place on the House floor related to flood recovery." Texas Republicans value racial gerrymandering over helping those affected by extreme floods.

- This is very similar to conversations with Tech world oligarchs. Their egos were bruised and they weren't treated as god-like figures and so they shifted right. How much of our current US politics is because white men have fragile egos?

- Rebecca @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social reminded me of this quote from Adam Hochschild "When the national census showed that his reign of terror was shrinking the country’s population, Stalin ordered the members of the census board shot. The new officials, not surprisingly, came up with higher figures."

- Reminder “16 women have accused Donald Trump of various forms of sexual assault, including one accusation of rape and another, in which the accuser has not used the word “rape” but whose description meets the legal definition of rape.” www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

- Reposted by Thelma Young LutunatabuaI wrote about how the Everglades experiment fits into the history of concentration camps in the US and abroad, and how it will connect a domestic network of camps to an international one. We’re watching the imposition of a global concentration camp network.
- Being a Texan and seeing the horrifying floods in so many places I know and have lived - I’m immediately angry at Rep. Chip Roy for voting yes on the spending bill. It’s not time for the US to pull back on clean energy transition.

- Reposted by Thelma Young Lutunatabua‼️ Y'all, House Republican leadership just told their members to go back to their offices. The floor has emptied. They don't even have the votes to pass the procedural Rule that's needed to get to a passage vote on the bill. 👀 There's still time to make noise --> 5calls.org

- No one from Tuvalu was interviewed for this article.
- We should not become immune to or just shrug off the blatant horrifying racism that the Right has shown. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/26/n...
- "the very language of this conversation, language around bureaucracy, efficiency, waste, even quality of life, we’ve allowed this language to be seen as if it is of a right-wing concern, when in fact this should be the most paramount left-wing concern"
- Strongly recommend this interview with him, which is anything but wild-eyed "eat the rich" rhetoric. He lays out the city-run grocery stores plan in answer to a question right around 25:50. www.theringer.com/podcasts/pla...

- Reposted by Thelma Young LutunatabuaJust finished reading “Not Too Late,” edited by @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social and @thelmayoung.bsky.social. It’s remarkable in that it’s sober and honest and yet hopeful and invigorating. A discourse on hope winds through it that reminds me of MLK’s revisioning of love as powerful. Highly recommend.
- This one hits a hard. Afa will be sadly missed by all.
- On June 14th, Arthur Folasa Ah Loo, known as Afa, was tragically killed during the No Kings protest in Salt Lake City, UT. 50501 is deeply saddened by this tragedy. If you are able, please consider donating to cover the immediate financial burdens his family faces. gofundme.com/f/help-laura...
- Reposted by Thelma Young LutunatabuaBecause Black people know that there is no such thing as “identification” or “identifying yourself”. They aren’t saying Padilla didn’t identify himself as a U.S. Senator. They are saying that there is only one acceptable identity — credential — being white and, in these times, being pro-Trump.
