NEW — I'm suing DC Metro Police for the full body cam footage from the DOGE raid on the US Institute of Peace back in March. The public deserves to know why MPD chose to sell out the people they’re tasked with protecting in order to bend to Trump's will. I'm repped pro bono by @rcfp.org. Details:

If the sandwich don’t split, you must acquit

“I wish Andrew Cuomo only the best in private life”

Maybe pundits should spend more time in densely packed, left leaning urban areas where the "real Americans" live

"i wish andrew cuomo the best only in private life" is such a cold-ass line from zohran lmao

stay tuned

It's impossible to overstate how much of what ICE is doing on the ground reflects this completely preposterous conflation of hostile *speech* and hostile *conduct.* The First Amendment protects—or, at least, is supposed to protect—the former up and until it's a "true threat," which none of this is.

This weekend, many thousands will be protesting. That's a protected First Amendment activity. DM me if you have questions about your rights, if you see people's rights being violated, or if you're a reporter needing support. #NoKings

And then do nothing more but send endless fundraising emails and texts

Blacksky’s very own @itsafronomics.bsky.social Big congratulations and excited to add to the 2025 reading list 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Buried in #VAGov story, a little media story. Most gender/schools coverage in VA comes from one reporter for a Sinclair station in DC market, who works it as part of Sinclair's "Crisis in the Classroom" series. His job before news media? Trump admin spox www.semafor.com/article/08/2...

This is the technology that half the S&P 500 depends on to succeed? That we all keep being told we must integrate into everything?

The lie is that glasses are made to liberate you from screens. The purpose of the glasses is to make sure you have no experiences except those mediated through a companies’ technology.

I work w/radio signals, love open source (+ community radio!), but did not know about Bose, just the "legend of Marconi", ty @margaret.bsky.social & ty @bridgettodd.bsky.social for 🧵ing the needle: ofc Bose's interest in comms made him curious about plant sentience! cc @puaproject.bsky.social

Massive Attack is joining other bands like Deerhoof, Xiu Xiu, and others in protesting Spotify's chief executive Daniel Ek’s military investments 👏 pitchfork.com/news/massive...

Not enough people are paying attention to a major target for Brendan Carr and the Trump admin’s crackdown on free speech: social media. It’s under bipartisan attack, even though it’s a crucial forum for reaching the public and fighting back. spitfirenews.com/p/is-anyone-...

I would love to be part of the conversation on MSNBC related to the Kimmel story and it's chilling effects on first amendment, but unfortunately I was terminated by MSNBC for stating that "hateful thoughts lead to hateful words which lead to hateful actions".

Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.

A resolution to censure Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minnesota) over comments and a social media repost she made regarding conservative leader Charlie Kirk’s death failed Wednesday.

@bridgettodd.bsky.social talks with @bishonentype.bsky.social about what the expiration of Trump's emergency order means for DC, how it was a cover for increased immigration enforcement, and why the lack of statehood makes DC more vulnerable than other cities. www.iheart.com/podcast/105-...

So many people are asking how they can support me.. The best way .. is to support @resistanceschool.bsky.social! I’ll be teaching Race, Media and International Affairs 101 and 102 next month. Sign up for lectures by me and guest speakers! www.resistancesummerschool.com/fall-2025-re...

Charlie Kirk was a champion of free speech and anyone who says otherwise will be fired

You should say what the alternatives are so people understand what you mean by this. Not that they should go back to X, but that they can migrate to PDS.witchcraft.systems, selfhosted.social, blacksky.app, @transrights.northsky.social They can use zeppelin.social, blacksky.community, deer.social

Y'know that Guardian article which cited an anonymous friend of Tyler Robinson claiming he was the only "leftist" in his family? It just got updated after the "verified source" decided he couldn't remember his "relationship" with the accused shooter well enough to be quoted

Some of the high quality content Zuckerberg’s platform is algorithmically shoveling into the brains of American consumers. This story is 100% made up, in case that wasn’t obvious.

there's a weird feedback loop where the media's reaction to kirk's death pushes you to speak more ill of the dead than you otherwise would because it's the only reasonable response to the simpering praise they're heaping on him

1. In the immediate aftermath of Charlie Kirk's shooting, the WSJ laundered claims that "transgender symbols" were found with the shooter's gun. Now, a press conference reveals that NO such symbols were found. WSJ owes a full retraction and apology. Subscribe to support our journalism.

fbi puts another one in the books. closing the case the way most crime is solved: someone calls and tells them who did it.

Too bad the GOP effectively criminalized studying how information moves online and news orgs laid off and demonized all the reporters who covered the burgeoning online accelerationist performative death cults. All of that work was somehow "censorship" that needed to be stopped. Now we're here.

good for him.

Thank god AI has finally solved the problem of there not being enough podcasts

I'm supremely mad and I'm going to rant about it. I have a podcast. It's hosted by ACast. They do dynamic insertion ads prior to the show, which I've enabled. These are basically the commercials you might hear before the show starts.

Thank you @nimashirazi.bsky.social , such a delight!

So much fun joining the great @bridgettodd.bsky.social for this week's 'There Are No Girls On The Internet' news roundup! We talk Taylor, Gaza, Sandwich Guy, TikTok + most importantly DJ Jazzy Jeff & Peter Frampton. Get it here or wherever: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/w... #TANGOTIComesAlive

Was truly a joy getting to speak with @bridgettodd.bsky.social and reminding people that not only is a better internet possible — we *have* one, and have had it for years, and need to nurture it and amplify it, and teach people about it, for the good of all. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

My councilwoman @janeese4dc.bsky.social put out a plea to neighbors to not order food delivery because of law enforcement targeting delivery drivers.

The mental health benefits of not knowing any history right now must be massive. Moving through your day with total equanimity. What happens next? Who knows? Maybe something good
