HAPPENING SOON! Tune into our discussion about Common Sense and more with Boston University Professor Joe Rezek, part of our new series The Revolution Is News! Today at 4 p.m. here: brown.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

my editor just sent this to me because she really knows how to ruin my day

Happy Trans Day of Visibility! It's a great day to support trans-owned publications :) Below, we've threaded a couple of our favorite trans-run newsletters and websites. Throw a subscription their way today!

They’d rather the country be poorer and whiter than rich and diverse. Of course when the pie shrinks, the rich will demand the same amount and will tell you the crumbs you’re left with are because of immigrants or trans people or DEI. bsky.app/profile/apne...

AI is supposed to improve productivity, but it is decreasing it. While 96% of employers expect AI to boost overall productivity (Upwork Research Institute); a staggering 77% of employees report decreased productivity and increased workload due to AI implementation. itsg-global.com/why-77-of-em...

Think of how many small businesses are started by immigrants.

“We have long challenged Gilead’s pricing practices, but their outright refusal to sell lenacapavir is deeply troubling,” Doctors Without Borders officials wrote in an open letter…It also called the restrictions “unconscionable,” given public funding contributed to the development of the medicine”

Where's Congress? Do your job and rein in our out-of-control, imperialist president. (2/2)

Spoke with William Hennigan about POTUS's threat to attack Iran's "Electric Generating Plants." "[T]he president’s categorical statement represents a threat to target even civilian objects regardless of the requirement for distinction, which would be a war crime." www.nytimes.com/2026/03/30/o...

Okay, @uncpress.bsky.social is running a American History Sale - 30% off with code 01UNCP30 so let's do a five book mini-thread 🧵

Seen a lot of inappropriate AI chatbots, but the Museum of Protest's deserves special mention.

What Trump has been doing to Cuba is unconscionable. He's singlehandedly forced the island into a humanitarian crisis over recent weeks. An American president can’t be given carte blanche to threaten hostile takeovers of other nations and sow mass chaos around the world. (1/2)

Abolish ICE

BREAKING: After ProPublica published letters written by children at the Dilley concentration camp, ICE officers raided the dormitories and confiscated the children's letters. I'm suing ICE to get them back. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/breaking-i...

They’re absolutely conditioning us to having ICE around before they start putting ICE at polling places

Remember that day that the WH and all of the government agencies tried to come on here all at once as a way to troll and folks blocked them en masse and they gave up, lol

Impeach now

"the secretary of defense did insider trading on a war he was about to start" what the fuck are we doing here, honestly

Wait until you hear that a majority of the justices might agree with him

Who deserves justice and who deserves mercy under this administration? My colleague @jeremykohler.bsky.social has a disturbing case study: www.propublica.org/article/jose...

Here's a report from the Star Tribune: www.startribune.com/minnesota-su...

Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison and Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty sue the federal government to access evidence in the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. Written by Mohamed Ibrahim

The SAVE Act is three different kinds of poll taxes dressed in a trench coat. It's also a violation of the 14th, 19th, and probably some other amendments, too.

He doesn't object to HIS mail-in vote, just the Democrats' mail-in votes. For a quarter-century, we've moved inexorably toward the philosophy of "when the Republican is ahead, stop counting votes," with the "SAVE" Act (Stop Americans Voting Entirely) being the most recent and obvious iteration.

Both tragic and deeply, deeply pitiful that a set of ideas so profoundly antifeminist is driving young men to behave in ways so obviously, desperately akin to those of young women captured by the patriarchal beauty complex.

Since AI is so confidently wrong so often, even about “can you do x” questions, I’m alarmed for our collective safety. Again/still. I want The Jetsons future, not this one.

No matter what happens in the future I don't think I'll ever take our government seriously again, not when they can and likely will just revert to this as a default setting at some point.

and ICYMI, here's the other map I made recently (using London Lives data), which I'm quite proud of. mindseye.sharonhoward.org/dashboards/cdr…

US judge blocks Pentagon’s restrictions on press after New York Times lawsuit www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Kendra Duggar nee Caldwell has been charged along with her husband Joseph Duggar with four counts of endangering the welfare of a minor in the second degree, and four counts of false imprisonment in the second degree. This entire family needs to be investigated.

13/ Legal experts we talked to were alarmed by the precedent set by Doyley and Bennett’s cases, particularly as Florida considers a bill that could pave the way for more court-ordered medical care. Read our full investigation:

In his 1838 Lyceum Address, Abraham Lincoln warned of the rise of an American "Alexander, a Caesar, or a Napoleon":

What can you do other than laugh at this point

Not the main plot today, but thinking its worth a refresher on John Ratcliffe— "How Trump’s CIA Pick Funneled Congressional Campaign Funds To Himself And His Wife"

The GOP is a party of hardcore, unrepentant racists who are pushing for voter ID by claiming it is needed in order to prevent voter fraud--which is a decades-long lie that was always intended to lay the groundwork for disenfranchising non-white citizens. There is no nuance; that is all this is.

It is lovely that the Art Gallery of Ontario can now name the Black woman in the gorgeous #18thc portrait they acquired 6 yrs ago & also date the painting. It's from 1775. She is Eleonora Susette, enslaved by the Dutch governor of Guyana, accompanying his widow on her return to the Netherlands.

“Mass detention and mass deportation are a ‘grave moral evil,’ El Paso Bishop Mark Seitz said Sunday, calling on the faithful in the diocese who work in immigration enforcement to follow the Gospel over the orders of the Trump admin.” “No one has to obey an immoral order,” Bishop Seitz said:

1/2. He took the greatest military force in history, lost a war to a middle power in a week, begged the world to save him, & demanded the media lie about this & everything else. I try, but at a simple human level I do not see how anyone mistakes this man’s almost supernatural weakness for strength.

In #AHAPerspectives, @profmarylewis.bsky.social describes a classroom assignment where students "update" French protest posters from May 1968, confronting how easily images can be manipulated and decontextualized. 🗃️

Some people should never have access to students. “AI requires no ramp-ups, no meetings, and absolutely no emotional support…The issue is not whether my students are valuable. In long run, they are invaluable. The issue is that their value emerges slowly, whereas AI delivers immediate returns.”

Using the criteria Carr outlines here, FOX News should have lost their license years ago.

The number one cause of death for pregnant women is murder. And there has been zero curiosity about why perhaps that is, other than more and more legislation to take away women's rights.

PhD/MA student in #history etc looking to gain experience with a major UK #heritage institution? The National Archives’ student placement schemes are now open and accepting expressions of interest on our website (including one with yours truly..!) www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/professional...

Wow, that’s really racist.

Good morning! Since Trump was re-elected, Forbes estimates— 💰His net worth is up $2.1 billion, to $6.4 billion 💰Eric’s is up 10x, to $400 million 💰Don Jr.’s is up 6x, to $300 million 💰19-year-old Barron is worth $150 million And Jared became a billionaire last year. Have a great day!

For weeks now, I've shared information about HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS protesting ICE REGULARLY. So much so that whole states like Kansas and Texas are rolling out LAWS to sanction schools and laws to criminalize TEENAGERS. Please let's be serious.
