In a historic year for women at the Olympics, Trump specifically awarded male athletes with the presidential medal of freedom at the SOTU. They never cared about women’s sports. They never cared about women, period.

perfect timing on my Seattle Torrent merch arriving today, excited and proud to see another game and support women's hockey later this week 🥳🏒

Seeing Trump and Kash Patel interact with the men’s hockey team is a solid example of how misogyny functions as a male bonding ritual. Patel is clearly trying to impress the athletes and Trump, Trump is trying to impress the athletes, and the athletes are trying to impress the president

My comments to @paigemcglauflin.bsky.social at @morningbrew.bsky.social on the new BLS head, & why private sector "alt data "(which I love!) can't replace high quality government statistics. Wishing Brett M success in his new role, because we'll all benefit from it. www.hr-brew.com/stories/2026...

It's painful how many states are considering bills to cut disability services/programs right now. One aspect that makes it very painful is that it's not coming from an inherently evil ableist place...it has to do with Medicaid cuts.

I grew up in Maine where French was the second most spoken language and it made sense to my 13-year-old brain to pursue that. Granted, I've since moved away from Maine and New England... 🥴

for my latest @us.theguardian.com talked to teens leading and joining anti-ICE walkouts from TX to MD to WI. one NYC teen: "I feel scared [of ICE] every day... But I’m not going to let that stop me, because bravery is just the positive way to say you’re scared, and I’d rather be brave than scared."

If you didn’t catch the significance of the exploding transformers in Bad Bunny’s halftime show, I gotcha. Here’s one of a bunch of pieces I wrote from/on Puerto Rico about the crisis—and Trump’s role in it. slate.com/news-and-pol...

just heard the first fireworks of the night. seattle's gonna celebrate HARD tonight

We owe the existence of the modern half time show to Black people.

Honestly the worst collection of Super Bowl ads in the history of Super Bowl ads?

That ring missing dog ad is so insidious

They moved an entire farm and a power station onto the field in five minutes and the Pats can't move a football 10 yards

Dump Truck, by Mikhail Evdokimovich Tkachev, 1956

DHS said that the woman CBP shot in the chest in Portland was “involved” in a gang shooting. Her ~involvement~ was that suspected gang members sexually assaulted and robbed her.

Thousands pack the streets of #Seattle in protest of #ICE

Not only is that the very same Nellie Bowles, but she pops up 17 different times in the files!

Published this at @theintercept.com on Monday early evening. Here's what's happened since and how Dem leadership has acted to stifle their activist base.

I wrote about my childhood friend Alexi Pretti. Please read it and share it and remember him as a human being. @theverge.com

7 people just died in a tragic plane crash in Bangor last night. Maine Wire Editor-in-Chief Steve Robinson when he finds out the victims may have been immigrant attorneys:

well, the next two weeks will be an interesting time to be a new englander living in seattle!

This is the single funniest excuse he could have come up with for not wanting to be booed in public

DHS has shot 12 people during immigration enforcement operations since September:

“.. He cared about people deeply ..,” said Michael Pretti, Alex’s father. “He thought it was terrible, you know, kidnapping children, just grabbing people off the street. He cared about those people, and he knew it was wrong ..” @washingtonpost.com www.washingtonpost.com/national/202...

A nurse. A researcher. A helper.

Alex Pretti, the man killed by federal agents today in Minneapolis, appears to have been a registered nurse, an athlete, a son and a brother, with ties to Colorado and Wisconsin. Here is a photo he used for several accounts.

There is video circulating on social media of a group of ICE agents beating a man near 26th and Nicollet in south Minneapolis, then one of the ICE agents shoots the man while he's on the ground numerous times. A witness can be heard yelling that the victim is dead.

This is of course very bad. And I feel like not enough of you know that having a disability has been grounds for denying visa processing since the late 19th century due to supposed risk of needing public assistance.

“.. Federal agents grab a woman to drag her away from her car, days after an ICE agent fatally shot Renee Nicole Good, in Minneapolis, Minnesota.” @reuters.com

BREAKING: ICE agents pepper-spray peaceful demonstrators and journalists and deploy chemical irritants in Minneapolis. Our partners @statuscoupnews.bsky.social captured the moment live on the ground as it happened.

Another “breaking news” moment where media takes the gov word as “official” when a) video evidence shows exactly what happened and b) the gov lies every time it opens its mouth. With all the good and important Big Media can and does do, its willingness to cling to “objectivity” is killing us.

unfortunately i have to hand it to Big Exercise. going for a run after work did actually snap me out of a foul mood

this is how every outlet should refer to X

they're doing it for gender, imo

my late-ish dinner tonight: nashville hot tofu sliders 🍔 enjoyed with a bottle of Allagash White 🤌

I do! I have a vintage Westclox Moonbeam alarm clock. It flashes a light and then eventually makes a very loud buzzing sound, which is so startling that it's been very effective at waking me up before it goes off. Here's what it sounds like! youtu.be/jON-zo4N2D8?...

happy 9pm to all west coasters

The largest generation in U.S. history is in their 70s now. And Stephen Miller’s podcaster wife thinks it’s suspicious that there’s a huge surge in home health aides.

time to watch It’s A Wonderful Life and cry my eyes out!

Left: French chore coat (just one of many regional variations) Right: LL Bean barn coat If the lore is to be believed, the American barn coat was originally called a hunting coat (or LL Bean Maine Warden jacket) bc it was used for hunting. It was renamed "barn coat" to appeal to urban customers.

happy gotcha day to Frankie! we adopted him two years ago today 💕

WATCH: Here's the segment CBS News pulled from "60 Minutes" last night

I recently thrifted a copy of the Betty Crocker "Cooky Book," originally published in 1963. (Is that how the singular of cookies is supposed to be spelled?) This weekend we made two recipes from the book, "Brazilian coffee cookies" and "candy cane cookies" 🍪 🍬

I know this is small peanuts but I have to complain about this again. The way that DoorDash makes it hard to tip NYC delivery drivers is so disgusting to me. I wrote this last year and sort of forgot about it — until tonight, when I ran into the same issue. www.theverge.com/2024/5/3/241...

ik we fixate on the cosmetic surgery aspect of mar a lago face but one thing i think about often is they're also stuck in 2016 makeup-wise (heavy matte foundation, heavily drawn in brows) which can definitely age someone's appearance

rob reiner's youngest is the same age as me. i can't even imagine what she's going through. 💔
