I'm dying laughing at how the cat has conformed to her flower shaped bed today

A white cat is sleeping curled up in a med that has five fluffy white lobes of a flower petal, the cat has half her face peeking upwards and otherwise has filled the pentagonal space in the center of the bed completely

Because you all deserve something good today: Allan Rohan Crite's luminous & deeply felt "Streetcar Madonna," 1946. Crite was an African-American artist & illustrator based in the Boston area whose work consistently celebrated his religious faith

I reanalyzed the CDC data behind the LGB “free fall” headline. It rests on a change in bisexual identification among one grade, in one wave, of one survey. Gay or lesbian identification did not change significantly. Calling it a "free fall" is sensational and just gives bad actors talking points.

Six small line charts showing the percent of U.S. high school students choosing each sexual identity response option by grade (9th to 12th), 2015 to 2025, with 95% confidence intervals. Heterosexual falls from about 85 to 90 percent before 2021 to about 73 percent in 2021 and 2023, then rises to about 78 to 80 percent in 2025. Gay or lesbian stays between about 2 and 5 percent throughout. Bisexual rises to about 12 percent in 2021 in every grade, then among 9th graders falls to about 7 percent in 2025, its 2019 level, while other grades stay near 10 percent. “Some other way,” added in 2021, falls from about 4 percent to about 2.5 percent. “Not sure” stays near 3 to 5 percent. A dotted line marks 2021, when CDC changed the response options.

I have called my representatives and demanded that they stand up for Ilhan Omar. It's not just the proximity to an election. If Trump is able to weaponize DHS/DOJ to take out sitting members of Congress without backlash, that's it, that's the whole game.

I’m outraged by this attack on Representative Omar. Trump and his DOJ have a bizarre obsession with tearing down Minnesota, our leaders and our communities. This latest action, even as voting has already started in Minnesota, is a transparent attempt to interfere in our elections.

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

I've been thinking a lot lately about this 1943 watercolor—Untitled (Police Beating)—by Norman Lewis. What's striking is not only depiction of violence, a subject for many Black artists, but also the onlooker who responds gleefully: recognition there will always be those who exult in state violence

Watercolor of the scene of a police officer beating a prone Black figure with a truncheon, with two white onlookers present, one of them appearing almost gleeful at the sight

The Republican Party is chock full of Nazis. The government has Nazis in senior administration positions. The Republican Party’s largest donor is a neo-Nazi. David Brooks might not want to admit it, but that’s why it’s long past time for him to shut up.

This earthquake in Panama is the 12th earthquake of magnitude 7 or greater this year. Is this an unusual number of large quakes? No. This graph shows M7+ earthquakes over the last 30 years. This year is very average.

This graph shows earthquakes of magnitude seven or greater since 1996.
