Instead of Right/Left, Republican/Democrat, Conservative/Liberal I have been organizing my thoughts around a spectrum with Progressive at one end & Regressive on the other. Its under development, but so are we all.

⚠️WOKE CONTENT⚠️ 🧵 It was the first all-Black protest in America that most people never heard of. It was the loudest protest ever—all without saying a word.🤫 Let me tell you about The Silent Parade of 1917. (cont) #ProudBlue #ResistanceRoots #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

I think it should probably be a bigger story that the president of the United States is a raving lunatic

A key tenet of fascism is rewriting history to erase any crimes by fascists that have been recorded.

It was a wild time!

Last year we published the longest post in the more than 17 year history of our science blog. It contains a panel of experts (including me) responding to nearly 50 common questions that people have about marine biology career advice. Please read and share! I'm happy to answer any questions. 🧪🦑🌍

I have a theory that half of non-Jews who support Israel don't actually know anything about Israel or Palestine but have a preconceived (and incorrect) notion that "Israel = Jews" and haven't quite unpacked that every group has shit people in it. And then the other half just wants the rapture.

"Senile narcissist goes on rant"

you personally have the ability to secure elections for yourself and your neighbors.

as i keep saying, the things to do to secure elections are to volunteer to work the polls or to serve as an observer, & to pressure your *state representatives* to take steps to further secure voting locations and ballots. you should also learn about how election administration works in your area.

When money and power protect abusers instead of victims, the system itself is broken. Trump didn’t invent that reality — he took advantage of it. And until the system changes, accountability will remain optional for the powerful.

Jeff Bezos’s wealth has increased an average of $70 million every day of 2026, meaning that he could have offset The Post’s losses with what he’s made since Monday.

People keep debating whether Epstein is more tied to Russia or Israel without understanding it's the same people: dual Russia/Israeli citizens involved in organized crime. The modern roots of this operation, going back to the 1980s, are detailed in the excerpt from HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT below.

Last year, I emailed Chicago’s chief homelessness officer, Sendy Soto, as well as spokespeople for both Soto & Mayor Johnson, six times. I wanted to understand their approach to evicting unhoused Chicagoans from the shelters they build to survive. No response. chicagoreader.com/news/housing...

At the opening of COP 30 in Brazil, Barbados PM Mia Mottley doubled down on her proposal for a binding treaty to govern and constrain methane emissions, once again taking a leadership role on climate. It’s a good idea. Well done. www.straitstimes.com/world/world-...

I just saw this today and look I'm sorry Mia Mottley I wasn't really familiar with your game

Barbados PM, Mia Mottley, has it right. The climate crisis is moving at pace. We need to act, need to do more. Cutting methane from oil and gas is one of the fastest ways we could slow the warming of the planet. buff.ly/Tf9flQX

"The urgency of the climate demands mandatory measures. It is time for a binding agreement for methane, starting in the oil and gas sector... Despite many past promises and pledges, methane emissions from the energy sector continue to grow" - Mia Mottley, Prime Minister of Barbados

Elizabeth, a 10-year-old Minnesota girl, spent a month detained at the ICE facility in Dilley, TX before her release last night w/ her mom. Dilley now has a measles outbreak and hundreds of other kids remain detained. Elizabeth has flu-like symptoms and her mom has hives, a school official told me

The House chamber was mostly empty. I’m unsure how many will ultimately hear it. But I spoke today to sound an alarm for our nation. To alert the country of the wholesale corruption engulfing our government & the work we must do end it. I hope my fellow Americans will listen.

The destruction of independent media outlets and the attempts to bring higher education to heel are part of a united authoritarian strategy designed to destroy checks on their propaganda.

Here’s a useful reminder of what our federal courts SHOULD be doing to uphold our constitutional traditions:

Lucky for us those 8 Democrats were able to reopen the government though. 🙄

Nope. She’s lying again. He specifically said they wanted to “take over the voting in at least 15 places.” That’s not the SAVE Act. bsky.app/profile/atru...

NEW: since last year, a pair of "highly trained" feds have been involved in an array of incidents attacking crowds with chemical weapons. We used public records and open source analysis to identify Edgar Vazquez and Michael Sveum, alongside some other members of their tactical team. Read more:

Very excited to say that 404 Media's zine about ICE Surveillance is here. If you ordered a print copy, I put it in the mail last week. If not, we of course think the info inside is very important so here's a free PDF. We also translated it into Spanish: www.404media.co/icezine/

Actually starting to feel very allergic to the claim that Epstein's crimes are a function of his class. His money obviously increased the scale of his abuse and granted him additional impunity, but to say that wealth was the genesis of his depravity feels like willful blindness to gender.

The suburban observers, heavily women, say they share a personality type. “Many of us have encountered bullies our entire lives...I think that turns you into somebody that, even if that bully is wearing full tactical gear, I'm not interested in laying down for you.” www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

If you're thinking about Washington Post, "well, to hell with them, they did it to themselves," then count yourself on the side of management. Because, no, labor didn't do this to themselves, didn't grind the paper down, yank it right, & rip out its spine. That's capital. Now we'll all suffer.

The best of the truth-telling that actually makes our world better came in spite of the people who founded this country. Not because of them. And it came from people who were Black, queer, disabled, etc. writing from bedrooms, churches, home offices, and tiny newsrooms.

Agree. Amongst the many pieces we've published around American backsliding, this one from @brynntannehill.bsky.social in 2022 lays out the U.S. road to competitive authoritarianism.

Interesting thread. Had concerns for years on "sheriffs". Seems like it may have been warranted.

If we survive, renewal of Constitution & assoc laws. No more "gentleman's agreements", "traditions" or other unwritten rules. It gets codified. Full stop. Time has shown there are ppl willing to break it all to make a buck &/or manifest their racist/sexist/facist/religious ideals.

What looks like chaos is actually convergence. The United States is in a self-inflicted polycrisis—a term coined by historian Adam Tooze—where overlapping failures amplify each other until the whole system destabilizes. 1/

Any American who sees this and is not moved to rise up and disband this entire administration should be exiled. I would prefer every single one of these immigrants to them.
