They organized.
JUST IN: Polls closed in France. Exit polls show surprise: —Left coalition (New Popular Front) projected first. (!) —Far-right (RN) has lost its bid to take power. Anti-RN front appears to have worked very well. —No bloc close to majority. Follow this 🧵 for results and more:

I can’t explain how fucked up it is that Threads created a more hostile atmosphere to the New York Times than we did. Tony the Tiger brand humping website just beat our asses.
Wow. @nytimes.com has closed their Threads account and left the platform after days of getting just shredded in the replies for their handling of Biden post debate. Now they're getting dog piled on Instagram for running from Threads.

If they keep impoverished people, especially Black people, scrambling to keep themselves and children fed... then those people have to take what low wage jobs they can, be practically indentured in their work and have little time and energy to organize against them The cruelty IS the point.
The governors of a dozen Republican-led states — AL, AK, FL, GA, IA, MS, OK, SC, SD, TX, UT, WY — opted out of a new federal food assistance program, leaving about 9.5 million students without the aid this summer

Jasper Phillipsen, for those who don’t know, rides dirty by cutting across his competitors in sprint stages to force them to either brake or risk crashing. Phillipsen was until recently the favorite for the Green Jersey. Which makes Girmay’s victory today all the more sweet, dude is the Anti-Jasper

Yeah, he’s leading by almost 100 points? He’s killing it.

I take community classes at my local art college. Being in the studio with people has been great.

If you don’t watch cycling I want to share the joy of Eritrean Biniam Girmay, who is the first Black person to win a stage in the Tour de France and now won his second! In the first week! And he’s in green, which means he’s winning the most sprints (and beating Jasper Phillipsen, which is great.)

Girmay comes out of the World Cycling Congress Institute, a program to make cycling more accessible to riders from countries without cycling infrastructure. A gasp *DEI* program that is making the sport more exciting, more inclusive, and better for everyone.

I like pancakes! So you hate Waffles? You don’t think about the harm of industrial wheat farming? They’re easy to make, do you make your own? Oh, you hate people that have to buy them? Not everyone has a griddle. Or a spatula. Does your stove use fossil fuels? Was the worker that made your pancak

8 years ago today Philando Castile was murdered. The criminal legal system failed to convict the cop who shot him despite the recorded evidence. We had to watch that video live just 24 hours after we watched cops shoot Alton Sterling in the back. (The video does not play at link)
July 6th, 2016 | A History of Racial Injusticecalendar.eji.org On this day, Philando Castile was shot and killed by an officer during a traffic stop for a broken taillight in St. Paul, Minnesota.
