i read this hack lawyer memoir as a kid and all i remember about it is she said "i can either win this case or stop eating lemon pie but not both"

“These Trustees, instead of engaging with students calling for accountability, calling for divestment… they chose to actually burn down the institution… If Columbia had the power to arrest me, they would have done so before ICE,” Mahmoud Khalil says in a DAWN interview: dawnmena.org/i-was-put-in...

They've lost the 9yos

one thing about bad times is they are fertile for organizers

oh jeez and i didn't even know this - for the past year - going to make an #intl feed on here i think or maybe there is a good one somewhere

this is a #freespeech issue. anyone who speaks out, cannot help. what a choice.

Australia journalist unfairly fired over Gaza post awarded A$150,000 “There was a clear "orchestrated" campaign by pro-Israel lobbyists to have Lattouf taken off air right from the outset of her employment, and she was "sacrificed" by ABC management…” www.bbc.com/news/article...

I'll take democracy anywhere I can find it - and these guys know things we might need to study up on...

oooh #booksky HongKong Lamentations sounds like beautiful stuff, i loved The Impossible City

Had to spend a lot of time working on my first Techdirt post of the morning.

i am seriously begging democrats to bring the same smoke to this story that they brought to jimmy kimmel being indefinitely suspended

ICE held a 5-year-old girl, with autism, hostage yesterday in Leominster, MA. Used her as leverage to try and get her dad to give himself up. ICE said that's not what they did. There's a video. #SheShed

YES hotlines and tiplines. Whistleblowers win.

These are fair surmises.

very excited to share this update about bringing AT to the IETF! last week we uploaded two drafts to the IETF datatracker and today we heard that we’re approved to host a Birds of a Feather at IETF 124 (the formal meeting towards establishing a working group)

random: someday someone will literally die because of a forced macos update interrupting a critical process but who knows nowadays if that will be enough to make people come first... I know, should switch to ubuntu again... ways to collaborate efficiently open source and decentralized is key

there should be a history class based on the onion

Disney has backed down, but there's no evidence that Sinclair or Nexstar have learned their lesson. If you haven't already done so, check the links in the thread below for stations in your area. Find the advertisers and let them know you're boycotting them until they remove ads from these stations.

in point of fact, FDR’s open line of communication with black leaders like A. Philip Randolph absolutely strained his relationships with southern lawmakers and he did it anyway under the view that he was president for the whole country

"Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that." Looking forward to seeing Jimmy back on the air.

"We’ve buggered almost everything up but this will still bring them back" - hope this works more broadly...

young people floundering in this godforsaken job market and maybe also feeling profound malaise about trying to get a job while the planet burns and US empire ruins people's lives — talk to Rainesford! organizers with ideas on how to reclaim power and agency — talk to Rainesford!

rachel maddow did an enormously successful podcast called ”bag man” about a corrupt politician taking literal bags of cash. it was … not supposed to be instructional.

joy is a good approach, i hear. how do you do that again?

Rula Hardal & May Pundak are leaders w/A Land for All — a Palestinian/Israeli initiative grounded in shared human values & lived reality. As we close out 5785, they joined us today to cry out against the destruction of Gaza, and to imagine, despite everything, a shared future. www.2s1h.org/en

I'm trying to find two journalists working together at protests in downtown Los Angeles on June 7. Female reporter, pink shirt, blue jeans, white shoes, holding mic. Male videographer, white t-shirt, blue jeans, black shoes, camera on stand. DHS shoved and shot with pepper balls at MDC ~9:30pm.

see, if we defend democracy everywhere, we can fend off attacks on it earlier.

Wow, I did not see that coming - solar panels as wind breaks for crops. They harvest energy when it’s more valuable too instead of competing with the mid day peak.

this also - need control of local cops as much as possible. hold meetings w chiefs

i know you already heard this but it should be a big deal

Somehow had missed that @timbl.bsky.social has a book out that looks pretty interesting.

This is the vibe I wish to bring to the function.

GOP just blew up the filibuster to install the worst ppl possible. If and when the Dems retake things, they DAMN well better not “go high” and reinstall it. They should use it to force thru court abolition, and hoist the GOP on its own aggressive petard.

Think FDR. The modern regulatory state didn’t exist in the 1930s. The New Deal basically reinvented the entire concept of the federal govt. Whole agencies brought into existence. It’s okay to think big. It’s okay to tune out the pundits and consultants who seemed trapped in thinking small.

We need to start socializing the solutions: increase SCOTUS to 13 justices, DC statehood, Puerto Rico statehood, all on the first week.

🇦🇺 AUSTRALIAN DOCS IN GAZA: “70-80% of our patients are kids and pregnant women… It’s a nightmare… bombing after bombing… We’re making this video because we could die at any moment… Can someone please stop this terror and horror?” Full: www.tiktok.com/t/ZTMRReCVY/

This has caused AG Pam “Bribe Me” Bondi to increase her minimum “donation” from $25K to $50k. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

People often say they don't know how to start and the reality is that you just start. You can figure things out and people will help you to do so if you reach out to them.

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

Corruption that’s stunning even for this Administration. Homan and anyone who knew and covered this up must resign.

Let’s keep going

fun, lighthearted-but-also-psychological European read was exactly what I needed this week - here #booksky from staff red at Homeward Books in #Tucson

China, through a private company, has developed a business model by providing censorship services to autocratic regimes and has conducted new surveillance technology domestically in Xinjiang and other Chinese cities.

who else is working on medical evacs and/or lobbying for them? were trying to get at least a senator letter out

I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab but every time I got close to their hole they scuttled back in, so I tried getting clever with it. I made a little sandcastle and shoved my phone into it, hit record, and walked away. Crab was VERY suspicious of this addition to their environment.
