We’re gonna need a bigger reconstruction.

It's that time of year...🍂🍁

Sinclair recently bought out the Baltimore Sun and our local Annapolis newspaper, the Capital Gazette. The results have been exactly what you would expect, but I’m glad that outlets like @thebaltimorebanner.com and @baltimorebeat.bsky.social have stepped up in response.

- That’s all super basic stuff. But dinner parties are pretty basic, everyone should do it all the time! Highly recommend Samin Nosrat’s new book! bookshop.org/a/6775/97819...

#ResistanceRoots “Liberty is meaningless where the right to utter one’s thoughts and opinions has ceased to exist. That, of all rights, is the dread of tyrants. It is the right which they first of all strike down. They know its power.” — Frederick Douglass

You guys, so many Romance girlies are reading "On Tyranny" that they've broken the Goodreads recommendations algorithm. 10/10; no notes. #romancelandia

We all new A'ja was getting MVP again and she's amazing. Also AT had the most record smashing season, it is wild to not give it to her.

Found this video of my kid circa 2016 and I think it's a message that resonates now, even as it may have been accidental (pretty sure it was one of many takes of an imaginary YouTube show she was directing).

It’s neo-confederate statue building.

just saw a tiktok from a disney adult reading from On Tyranny and asking their followers to cancel their d+ and disney trips omg

rewatching NETWORK for a project 👀 and it is absolutely shocking how prescient this film is. it’s like paddy chayefsky was granted a vision of america in 2025 and he furiously tried to turn what he saw into something intelligible to viewers in the 1970s

Look at academia giving me a little hope

This kind of entrepreneurship is literally the only way that the families in my neighborhood growing up survived on the meager benefits we received that were heavily policed. This is exactly why I roll my eyes when people talk about the 2% of fraud in our gutted social safety net. It's mostly this.

He still thinks political asylum and insane asylums are the same thing and none of the groveling parasites around him are willing to tell him. His idiocy and the obsequiousness of his advisors may lead to a literal war.

You guys have to read the termination letter that @washingtonpost.com sent @karenattiah.bsky.social because they essentially accused her of anti-white racism because she mentioned that Charlie Kirk was a white man 😵‍💫 Then they called her a “risk.” 🤡 karenattiah.substack.com/p/why-washin...

This is a gun law loophole even in places with robust laws like Massachusetts. My cousin was murdered with an unregulated, untraced firearm considered antique, still 20th century. 18 years ago in Massachusetts. www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

Why is a street sweeper looping down my residential street (on third pass already) on a Saturday with no parking warning? What are you sweeping?

If you haven't ever sponsored or applied for an H1B visa, let me tell you it's already expensive and difficult. This is also exactly the kind of thing that people thought would not happen and that many warned would not be outside the limits of Trump and Miller's xenophobic lawlessness.

i don’t think people on bluesky understand the severity of this situation. i woke up to literally hundreds of texts from friends and family thinking about either moving back home to india or applying to other countries for jobs. this includes me.

Firing Attiah for quoting what Kirk himself said about Black women would have been bad for the Post. I genuinely think them claiming that "white men who espouse violence" is a protected class is worse.

Farewell to a legend

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption. Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow. People have power. Ask Target

I’m on Professor Watchlist, a project of Charlie Kirk’s Turning Point USA. Kevin Parkinson traveled the US, interviewing professors who faced death threats, harassment after being on Professor Watchlist. Here is a link to “Surviving Turning Point USA.” www.primevideo.com/detail/Survi...

This is a major loss for the @bostonglobe.com editorial board - and for the larger civic debate. But I so appreciate @rygraham.bsky.social sticking to her principles. dankennedy.net/2025/09/18/r...

I did wash day this morning and I may have overdone the side part in front, so there's a definite 1992 curl wave situation happening. Going with it.

Photojournalism by the Tribune's @staceywescott.bsky.social

There's a parent app on my phone that I can get notifications/messages from my kid's school and she's in middle school now and so between counselors, nurse, and teachers, there's like 10 people that message me. When they do, I get a text, an email, and a push notification. My ADHD appreciates.

I wrote about the Kimmel situation

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.

Former staffers of Climate.gov are launching a new site: www.climate.us 🧪

moments ago, ice agents again came out of the broadview detention/“professing” facility to escort a silver suv out of the lot. one of the agents picked up and threw congressional candidate kat abughazaleh to the ground.

Also a reminder for Massachusetts folks that @etelhaxhiaj.bsky.social also put her body between her constituents and ICE in May and continues to face charges for it. She has court next Thursday, 9/25 at 9am, and if you're in the Worcester area, you should come show support!

I've been showing this talk from Cathy O'Neil for years in my classes. It's not about AI specifically, but it applies. How secret algorithms are inscrutable black boxes of human bias youtu.be/_2u_eHHzRto?...

Good @polgreen.bsky.social today on the right's attempt to blame trans people for their own culture of political violence. I know almost no one has a subscription to @nytimes.com due to their bias and betrayal of journalistic ethics. (If you do, cancel it!) But I need one for work, so gift link:

Having my first book out in the world has been a little surreal, partly because the week it was officially out I was also in the hospital with my kid (she's doing great) and then life just runs along, but also because I haven't held it in my hands yet and my copies from the press arrive tomorrow!

We’re protesting outside the Broadview ICE facility and an agent came out to tell us to go away. We said we’re exercising our First Amendment rights so he shot the ground with pepper balls and said, “Your First Amendment rights are on the sidewalk.”

The visual does feel familiar... I don't know if we're in Idiocracy or Demolition Man, but it's not great for us either way (with no shade to the real people I know that are very excited for this apocalyptic dessert).

When I first started teaching Media Literacy 20 years ago, we were warning about this kind of consolidation. And here we are. Also, if you haven't already watched John Oliver's Sinclair piece, highly recommend. www.youtube.com/watch?v=GvtN...

we wrote about this WH tactic recently. they’re asking journalists for expert source names and then using them to look up political donations in FEC records to try to discredit those sources as biased. www.npr.org/2025/08/18/n...

Thankfully it was close by and I'm now enjoying my sweet potato tempura maki and thanked him profusely.

I don't know what the odds of this are but apparently someone else with the same first name is me ordered from the same sushi place for delivery and I just got her food. Different last initial. Honestly mistake

I had this exact same experience this morning. Same reporter as Heidi. This is *not* normal. I have spoken to the press on these issues for two decades. No government official has ever demanded to know my identity in order to give a comment on a story.

“There is no comparable requirement for boys to confirm their gender,” said another parent. “Once again, the onus is placed on girls to be monitored and regulated, reinforcing the idea that female athletes are the ones who need to be verified.”
