Chonky queer Lakota poet holds up their debut poetry collection, which published on June 1, 2022. They wear round, silver wire framed glasses, a spider necklace, a beaded queer bracelet, a belt, a maroon cardigan, and a long braid. The book is colorful like a sunrise and features a graffiti image of a red spider with lightning bolt arms on a brick wall. A can of “Iktómi” spray paint lies discarded at the base of the wall while silhouettes of protectors with signs and fists raised are at a distance to the left of the wall.

So we’re supposed to think the problem is kids swimming in a pool, and not cities defunding kids’ summer activities and lifeguards and enrichment?

Several children were caught breaking into one of the many Baltimore City pools that remain closed with their gates chained. The break-in was caught on Monday. Footage details the children breaking in, setting up "camp", and entering the water along with a scooter.

You seriously think everyone who has student loans is a doctor or lawyer? Be serious. You support bailouts for corporations and are happy to take government handouts yourself. It is only a problem when it helps working people.

Today the #SCOTUS upheld the Indian Child Welfare Act in an opinion authored by Justice Barrett. Much of the fight has been left for another day--in that #SCOTUS declined to reach some of the thorniest issues. But ICWA survives. So much to learn here. supremecourt.gov/opinions/22…

As someone who loves medical history & science, This thread is horrific because rather than be horrified of this museum holding stolen Black, Indigenous, & Disabled remains, the thread/replies are framing the Museum re-evaluating it’s ethics as “hating the goths”
