146 workers died in the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire on this day in 1911. The bosses responsible were never held accountable for the awful working conditions that sparked the blaze. Remember this today as politicians and their corporate backers attack workplace safety.

I live and vote in Connecticut. But today—two days after a huge blizzard dumped almost two feet of snow on NYC? I was in a car that drove the length of the city. No problem. The city handled the snow. The mayor did well. Period.

@spitfirefilly.bsky.social Just started Eagle Days. I appreciate your countering the Western myth (probably a US thing) of the clean Luftwaffe. Ditto your attention to the Norwegian invasion. With more snow slated for Western Mass. I should make good progress. 👍

I am out o' friends, madam; and I hope to have friends for my wife's sake.

Look for the helpers!

This. Publicize what these people said. Publicize that they asked soldiers to abide by the Constitution and disobey illegal commands. The meaning of what's happening with these demands from DJT needs to be crystal clear.

Another shot of this Sea Eagle from the other day. I’m very tired, but I’ll try and get back to the cliff top today. Have a good one.

One of the most precious things about Remembrance is that it sets no political tests. It asks only that we "remember", and that we do so in the silence of our own thoughts. It doesn't dictate what we remember, how we remember or what lessons we draw. That's between ourselves and our conscience.🧵

Thoughts with the families of the 3 crew who were on the UPS flight from Louisville to Honolulu. We all depend on folks like them to deliver essential goods to us, and it’s hard when something goes so horribly wrong as it clearly did today. 😢

Good morning! Just a few dahlias left, including this ‘Crazy Love’. It wasn’t the best year in terms of quantity, but they’re still as lovely as ever. 🌱

Vaccines are safe and effective. Autism isn't caused by vaccines, and autistic people and their families deserve our support. When you want information, ask your doctor. It's more important than ever for all of us to speak plainly, truthfully, and directly about public health.

(Amanda) I've told you before that Betty says some weird things. She said this photo makes it look like I am 'on the prowl'. There are too many words for me to learn and I just can't be bothered. The main thing is that she says she loves me, and I certainly understand that!

Hello running/cycling/triathlon Bluesky. I’m replacing my wahoo heart rate monitor because it goes through batteries like water. I’m debating between a polar and a garmin. Internet reviews are mixed. Does anyone have a strong opinion? I’m would love to be convinced

out with friends today, scouting out more of the Mass Central Rail Trail. this is the old railroad tunnel in Clinton, MA. eventually the trail will pass through it.

A request, having had some success on here previously! Are there any Edinburgh / Glasgow based academics specialising in ecology and rewilding out there who’d be prepared to give a lecture or run a session for a group of US students coming over in May next year? Please repost!

Vaccinate your children against preventable diseases. Full stop. End of story.

Beshear: "These work requirements really aren't getting people back to work. They are about increasing the paperwork on everybody ... when somebody misses that one box, they are kicked off for six months or more."

Mark and Melissa saw the humanity in everyone. Let’s honor them by doing the same.

A small break in your doomscrolling. Look who I met during my walk today.

Today in 1215 King John reluctantly affixed his seal to Magna Carta, a document which placed restrictions on his royal power. It has come to represent the centuries long battle to restrain capricious, insane, despotic leaders. That's a work in progress

The Cherry Creek Trail is the crown jewell of biking infrastructure in Denver. When you build high comfort safe places to ride, people will use them.

I am thrilled to announce that today we are launching our High School Public Service Grant program! Our campaign wants to use our resources -- our money, platform, and volunteers -- to help young people develop and execute a project that benefits their community. Ninth District teens, apply today!

This is that good stuff. If we're to win back the trust of people jaded by the last 9 years of politics this is how we do it.

Happy May Day to workers everywhere!! I’m so proud to have been a union member and union rep in my career, because worker solidarity is the root of all progress. Every worker deserves safety, security, and prosperity, and unionization, banding together, is how we deliver that promise.
