This is the kinda shit I gotta put up with. No jury would convict me. #Crochet 🧶

They’re totally going to do this.

Can’t make this up.

Huh

Sojourner Truth (1797-1883), abolitionist, women's rights advocate, who chose to be photographed with her knitting. As an enslaved person, she had knitted/spun endlessly and when free later in life, she taught knitting to former enslaved women aiding self-sufficiency #womensart

Officials say the Trump administration transferred hundreds of immigrants to El Salvador even as a federal judge ordered their removals be stopped

The Trump administration violated *another* court order by deporting a professor despite her valid visa and a judge’s order halting her removal

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Dolly Parton says her husband of nearly 60 years, Carl Dean, has died at 82.

Yall better be both sharing the Stand up for Science posts /and/ figuring out how to get your butt to one of them! @standupforscience.bsky.social

BREAKING: Blow to #DOGE as judge blocks access to personal info at OPM & Ed. Dept. Ruling from judge Deborah Boardman, MD-based Biden appointee, seems likely to broadly halt DOGE access unless overturned. w/@kyledcheney www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

"[W]e are reprinting an editorial from the Clarksdale Press Register in Mississippi, which a Chancery Judge, Crystal Wise Martin, ordered removed.... We view this judicial overreach as an abuse of power, a blatant violation of constitutional rights, and a dangerous precedent that must be resisted."

I have been so excited since I found out this would be announced today! RIP any ability for me to concentrate: www.apple.com/tv-pr/news/2...

This is like when Emma Thompson got the screenwriting Oscar for Sense and Sensibility and she talked about going to Jane Austen's grave and telling her about the box office results for the movie in Uruguay

We've been doing the Project for Awesome since way back in 2007. I don't think we've ever raised $100,000 before the p4a even began! Thanks to everyone who has already donated. You can get loads of amazing stuff--including new writing from hank and me. projectforawesome.com/donate

Just realized I never introduced myself here. Hello! I’m Kate, a Louisiana based block printer. I have been an independent artist for about 7 years, before that I was a scientist. I love exploring the intersection of folklore and the natural world . . . especially swampy wildlife.

This is EXCELLENT fucking news, omg!!! This means the legal actions ARE effective still!!!

Not to worry, weavers, Jacquard looms are mentioned in here, too 👇

The fact that I feel actual relief over the American Bar Association openly acknowledging this assault on the rule of law…the bar is below the floor

When we unionized a few years ago, a lot of peanut gallery types on social media wanted to tell me it would be the end of Wired. Hope it’s now clear (thanks mostly to our insanely talented and hardworking politics team) that it does not work that way. Unions are good.

- racist DOGE guy (redundant) canned - federal judge upholds birthright citizenship - another judge blocks voluntary resignation - NY state going to court over treasury business - patel put on ice for at least a week

Something the "so you think the law means anything now" doomers fail to grasp: the importance of buying time. Nobody, and I mean NOBODY, has infinite resources and infinite capacity for managing complexity. Make your opponent work. Make their every decision complex and their every move costly.

USAID matters. I've often disagreed with their strategy and choices, but their work saves more lives than any philanthropy can. It's a rounding error in the federal budget, and one of the best things we do as a country. To see it destroyed overnight by one unelected man is an unmitigated horror.

it really is appropriate to view this as potentially the biggest privacy and cybersecurity scandal in American history

NEW: I heard from federal employees across various agencies about the internal chaos they're experiencing because of Trump and how they feel going forward in their jobs. A clear theme? They are scared - and also pissed off and hunkering down to fight. "Fuck that." www.huffpost.com/entry/federa...

The administration took down the reproductive rights website that women need access to. So The Skimm bought a url and brought the content back. Pass this on! Go to reproductiverightsdotgov.com

I just sent out my January newsletter, in which I talk about season 2 of PANTHEON coming to Netflix (!) and my event with Cory Doctorow to celebrate his new novel. Read (and subscribe) here: kenliu.substack.com/p/pantheon-s...

You wouldn't know it from Netflix, but season two of Pantheon, inspired by @kyliu99.bsky.social's The Hidden Girl and Other Stories, is arriving soon! reactormag.com/pantheon-ken...

This goes so fucking hard dude

Hearing from federal employees tonight who are getting messages via their agency’s emergency notification system, which is usually reserved for snow-related office closures, that’s like DO NOT RESPOND TO THAT EMAIL UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, WE HAVE NO IDEA IF ANY OF THOSE PROMISES ARE REAL

A federal judge has temporarily blocked Trump's sweeping freeze on federal grants, which sparked chaos in the hours following its introduction

If you're struggling financially due to government fuckery or for any reason really and you need infant formula talk to your pediatrician we can hook you up and don't like to ask questions.

Did they miss that Every Sperm is Sacred was satire?

I believe the general internet tradition on these kinds of things is well known. techcrunch.com/2023/04/21/m...

cis folks, please read this hideous thing. if you didn’t believe it was all one fight before, they snuck in some “fetal personhood” here. we’re in this together. and remember: if you know a trans person, *no, you don’t.* *we* get to decide when/if we disclose. don’t put your trans friends at risk.
