PSA: *reporting* Israel is bombing “Hezbollah” in Lebanon is like saying Israel is only bombing “Hamas” in Gaza — when we can all see them hitting civilians, apartment buildings, ambulances etc… all you do when you use their preferred words is sacrifice your own credibility.

Always exciting to see the Avignon Papacy in the news

In Bariworld world, Kanye releasing a single literally called "Heil Hitler" is less antisemitic than Ms. Rachel.

New: 150 unionized ProPublica workers are on strike TODAY over AI, layoff protections, wages, and more. They're asking readers to not visit ProPublica or engage with content on other platforms. It's the first work stoppage of its kind at the newsroom. www.theverge.com/news/908401/...

We have an Iranian friend in Tehran who has devoted his career to translating Thoreau for an Iranian readership. Starting with 'Walden,' through Thoreau's anti-slavery works and essays on civil disobedience, the lot. We have not heard anything from him since the bombardment began.

Friends, the social pressure not to mask is real, and it is strong. I truly get it. But we must overcome that pressure to keep one another safe, for Long Covid is also real and strong. The emergence of a new variant will likely add to the potential complications that can arise. So mask up, friends 😷

Jesus wept. I just called my US rep and senators and told them they have to do everything they can to stop this genocide. I told them I don't care if they're in the minority. They have options. I told them to chain themselves to the White House fence. Please call your reps, too. reps.fyi

Sahar's son Odai needs foot surgery. It costs $4000. Since yesterday, we've raised 1181 pounds or $1564 towards the goal. There's $2436 left to go. If you can contribute any amount to the goal, I'd appreciate it. chuffed.org/project/1656... - it would be great to meet the goal by Friday.

you, a naive fool: i do believe there are some things the nytimes won’t both sides the nytimes:

Means testing hurts the poor, not the rich. Means testing hurts the poor, not the rich. Means testing hurts the poor, not the rich.

Means-testing also makes programs cost more than they would under a universal model, because so much money gets wasted on verification, surveillance, and compliance.

Tech media propaganda operation makes it official, goes in-house at OpenAI: defector.com/tech-media-p...

We already subsidize like 15 years of free public school for the kids of many, many people who have plenty of money. Why would anybody suddenly freak out about a couple of years of preschool?

The right and center left have spent decades defunding public goods. Privatization and “public-private” partnerships have left billions of people without safety nets. This message needs to be hammered home daily.

I genuinely cannot stop thinking about the active cruelty and hate behind this: the US has always hated its own disabled people, but there is a particular brand of contempt and hate for disabled immigrants and refugees, especially those who are not White

The article framing is trash because it tries to use Michelle Obama and Jim Clyburn's Black faces to launder the super racist idea that we should strategize against the Black woman that is leading in all the Dem polls because she is not a white man. They did not say that. That is not their strategy

Some top Democrats would rather lose with support from a handful of diet racists than win with a broad coalition and a compelling message.

Continuando as homenagens do 8 de março, trazemos mais 5 mulheres que fazem história no RPG =) Deixamos de fora algum nome que você quer ver aqui? Marca pra gente nos comentários. Ah, e aproveita pra mandar essa postagem pras jogadoras e mestras que você admira =)

Say their names: Fatima and Mohammad Ftouni, sibling Lebanese journalists murdered today by Israel

Say is name: Ali Shoeib, one of three Lebanese journalists murdered today by Israel

Barbara Ehrenreich: “we’re all going to have to work together!!”

@bkindivisible.bsky.social had a STUNNING display, I believe primarily designed by the great Julie Pepito. @bradlander.bsky.social marching with them on the far left there.

Sandra Wong, the great granddaughter of Wong Kim Ark, is preparing to march at the #NoKings Rally in San Francisco. Today is the 128th Anniversary of the SCOTUS decision affirming birthright citizenship.

To a “T,” everyone I spoke to at No Kings in NYC today was hungry to do more than just march in a parade. I get it’s performative, but it’s also an incredible opportunity to organize folks, particularly “normie” folks, so go or don’t, but at least see opportunity in how fertile the ground is

£283 left for school fees. Thank you to everyone supporting our children’s education. ❤️ Your kindness is helping them stay in school, keep their routine, and hold on to hope for a better future. 🙏 Every contribution, no matter how small, makes a real difference in their lives.

Excellent by @blackgirlinmaine.bsky.social unpacking why many Black and Brown folks are pushing back on No Kings, and real talk about what is needed: risk-taking, inconvenient action, and sustained disruption. 1/2 blackgirlinmaine.com/activism/cri...

Please, I am begging people: never again repeat the claim that only two people were killed in the occupation of Minnesota.

Libraries WERE trying to do this up until about a decade ago. I hope Mamdani keeps his campaign promise to increase and *sustain* the library budget, that NYC's libraries interrogate their vendor contracts, and that they reinvigorate in-house tech development — and then share that work w/ others

I am tabling and doing other outreach this weekend and one of my goals is to get at least 75 people to sign a letter to the City Council in support of funding our libraries at 0.5% of the city expense budget. actionnetwork.org/letters/city... - I'll report back on Monday, lol.

Stand Up for Science is excited to announce Colette Delawalla, Founder and CEO of Stand Up for Science, as a speaker at the *official* No Kings 3 Accessible Rally, on Saturday March 28th. (Virtual)  Sign up here: tr.ee/nk3ar

Please wear a mask if you go to a protest this weekend. Protect yourself. Protect your disabled friends. Think of all the people who marinated in airport air for hours this week. That's reason enough to mask up.

This is very cool bc (a) these’re good journos to follow, (b) it automatically adjusts the price if you’re already subscribed to 1 or more (as I am), & (c) this seems like an excellent model as independent media becomes more essential in light of fascist consolidation of large outlets.

Jaw-dropping admission by DOJ to court. DOJ admits to having repeatedly made "material mistaken" representations to judge - ICE never had authority (under 2025 Guidance) to conduct arrests at immigration courthouses! DOJ admits court "relied on...prior misrepresentations." DOJ blames ICE (page 2)

It is going to be pretty interesting to see what gets said at CERAweek next week. I don't get the impression powerful and influential oil and gas CEOs in the US are begging Trump to stop? And there's one hell of a precedent for them openly supporting conflict that raises fossil prices!

The answer is: Fuck no. Because you shouldn't show up to court to deal with a minor issue only to get kidnapped and disappeared.

TSA is alerting ICE about travelers who have been ordered to leave the country. That’s what happened Sunday at SFO when ICE agents arrested a woman with no criminal history who was flying with her young daughter to Miami. Like immigration courthouses, airports are now potential deportation traps.

Awful: Stephen Miller is privately urging Texas lawmakers to restrict funding for the public education of undocumented kids. This has long been a right-wing dream: They want to get SCOTUS to reverse Plyler v Doe and further chip away at 14th Amendment. New from me: newrepublic.com/article/2081...

NEW: WebinarTV, a company that bills itself as “a search engine for the best webinars,” is secretly scanning the internet for Zoom meeting links, recording the calls, and turning them into AI-generated podcasts for profit. @emanuelmaiberg.bsky.social reports:

The US government collected over $1 billion in immigration fees then refused to process the applications. No denials. No refunds. Just silence. This is the largest fee fraud in the history of the American immigration system. Here's what's happening. 🧵
