It's official. Nearly 7 million people. Today is the single largest day of protest in American history. Americans from all corners of the country are standing up and saying #NoKings. This is what peaceful, patriotic protest looks like.

The Declaration of Independence specifies 27 grievances with King George III and Britain. Donald Trump and his regime have committed at least 20 of those same offenses highlighted in yellow. #NoKings

No Kings on Independence Mall for a history lesson with the great professor of constitutional law, @raskin.house.gov #nokings Philly

Entry to Independence Mall. #nokings Philly overthrew kings before and we will do it again.

No Kings, Go Birds, Fuck Ice, Free Palestine. #nokings Philly

Being in amongst community doing something in the spirit of shared purpose, stewardship, solidarity, mutual aid—it feels good, it builds something GOOD, it builds resilience and strength and takes some of the edge off the fear we all feel And it scares the hell outta the other guy 🫡

Just new Historic New Orleans exhibit on Civil Rights. I feel just gutted, today of all days.

We didn't vote for this — and right now, Americans need to stand together in solidarity and, in one voice, from sea to shining sea, demand "No kings!" Please — find your local #NoKings event at www.NoKings.org and be there...for the love of America.

There it is: $20 billion for Argentina at the same time they’re taking markets away from our farmers. But no $ for health insurance for Americans?

Republicans are currently going around the media to claim the nationwide peaceful No Kings protest on 10/18 is a “Hate America” rally. Actually, No Kings is a rally of love—love for the founding ideals of America, love for the democracy and freedoms we cherish, love for one another. Let’s show it:

What if J.T. Realmuto insisted that everyone call him by his first name: Jacques?

This really makes it sound like a Border Patrol agent tried to kill an anti-ICE activist in Chicago and DHS lied to cover for him

A good ad on the DC Metro

Since the shutdown of the NOAA website climate.gov, a group of people who worked on it has been creating an alternative, www.climate.us

I know everyone is consumed with other news, but this is a big fucking deal: The Trump administration says that IUDs and the Pill are actually abortions. Here's what USAID told the NYT about the $10m in birth control they plan to destroy. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/11/h...

Omg the student. What a good little nazi. “Our president says there are only two genders.” Really chilling. Shame on Texas A&M.

If all it takes is one student to get 3 people removed in a University, it's another step to destroying the University system in the US. Denouncing intellectuals is a hallmark of Fascist and Communist countries. It takes all the other students and faculty to make a stand to stop it.

the supreme court says you can never use race to help people but you can always use race to hurt people

When the state government @pasenate.com doesn’t care about public transportation, a sports betting corporate sponsor steps in to help. Now do it for the everyday workers and school children, please @fanduelsportsbook.bsky.social

there's actually a little known law that says if kyle schwarber hits four homers in one game they have to fund septa

what a genius goddamn idea

Enjoyed talking with @feministkelly.bsky.social about "Threat of Dissent," the Alien & Sedition Acts of 1798, Emma Goldman, & the history of ideological exclusion/deportation on her UNSUNG HISTORY Podcast. 🗃️ Listen here ⬇️ www.unsunghistorypodcast.com/IdeologicalE... www.youtube.com/watch?v=ApPS...

Google maps just told me to drive across the Walt WhitEman bridge. Who added the "e"? Is it part of the same initiative as the "Gulf of America" bs? I'm pretty sure it hasn't always had that mistake.

Saw this on twitter… Phillies, Eagles, Sixers & Flyers are going to have to start all games before 5PM. Better #FundSepta and soon!

So like we just needed a reliable closer and then things just idk work? #phillies

all the free Smithsonian museums showing “art” such as quilts seems so dangerous.

nice to meet ya Harrison

What universities/colleges can be good at teaching is *how to be a learner.* Skills in critical thinking, adaptivity, flexibility, resiliency, collaboration, integrating feedback well, communicating clearly… all those “soft skills” will serve any student better than becoming an AI wiz.

Girard and Columbia. Please @penndotsec.bsky.social let us make this street safer.

It's another 7/25 that PA's minimum wage is stuck at $7.25. It's time for the Senate to pass the House bill to finally RAISE THE WAGE!

People in ICE concentration camps are forced to kneel to eat food off plates “like dogs”, held on unsanitary buses in parking lots for more than 24 hours, crammed for weeks in freezing intake rooms where they sleep on the floor, and denied adequate medical care. This is a human rights crisis.

Trump wants to go back to a racist name and logo but folks have other ideas.

Philly’s schoolchildren, including my own, will pay the price for the @pasenate.com’s refusal to find a solution to the @septa-social.bsky.social crisis. How do you suggest families plan for this?

Parents insist their kids go to college to get business degrees. Administrators respond by defunding the humanities and social sciences, while hiring business profs at ~2X what historians get paid. Meanwhile, businesses say over and over that they want to hire humanities and social science majors.

"Reich citizenship will not be laid in the cradle of every one born in Germany, but will be ceremoniously conferred on him after he has shown himself worthy of it through special accomplishments, through loyal services to the State." NY Times, July 6, 1933.

Yes. I am right. I am seeing how Chat GPT is ruining students critical thinking and writing skills in real time. It is not the future. It is a tool designed to render the populace helpless, to make people doubt their innate intelligence, and to foster overreliance on technology.

Academia.edu is running papers through AI to create “podcasts” summarizing your work. So they’re feeding AI your work and the podcasts are utter horseshit as expected. Time to delete the old account.

Exciting to see my very own representative @repbrendanboyle.bsky.social speaking out loudly against this ugly bill.

hot cat summer

I’m New York sober (rooting for the Mets but would ride Nick Castellanos til he cries)

Bully these motherfuckers out of public life, that's how you win back power, idiots ✌🏽
