There should be more screaming about all the corruption. And a corruption-watch/tally/list updated daily. Plus projections on DC federal buildings and airplanes trailing banners. Also Trump in jail.

Because I tell younger organizers to document their work and I want to be a 'do as I do not as I say' person, I have forced myself over the years to document the organizing of which I've been a part. Sometimes publicly and more often privately. Keep a record for yourself.

There’s a massive immigration operation in Memphis right now, but you may not have heard about it. Why? Community members face retaliation for trying to spread the word out, a lawsuit alleges.

I have yet to hear a compelling argument from non-disabled people re: the necessity of AI for disabled people that didn't sound like self serving bullshit to excuse their own justifications for killing the planet and stealing from broke artists. Stay in your lane. - a disabled person.

I've heard it said, "Why does King get a holiday, but not Malcolm?" Or "I'd prefer a Malcolm X Day over an MLK Day." And I'd tell you, there is a Malcolm X Day...it was May 15th. (and today) And if you believed in voting or running for office, you could make your local jurisdiction observe it

This is so disappointing. Amid the attacks on voting rights across the United States, Muscogee Nation is following suit. Muscogee Nation Freedmen descendants won’t be able to vote in Muscogee elections at the end of this month as the Nation drags its feet granting citizenship.

a group I work with is interested in building an inventory of stuff, and it was suggested we use airtable. I seem to remember airtable being around for several years. But when I go to their website, it looks like it's all AI. Is there a way to use airtable to just make a shared database w/o AI?

Just a little PSA- Neil Gaiman has reactivated his Bluesky account. Because he deactivated before a lot of people could unfollow him, and/or because Bluesky doesn’t remove you from a person’s followers when you block them, a LOT of you are still publicly listed as following him. You should check.

I do some freelance academic editing and one of the things I offer is checking the citations for existence and making then conform to the correct style sheet or style guide. I understand why it's a needed service and if you have money to support your tenure bid, PLEASE hire someone like me.

Bc of this it calls into question Spotify and Billboard as institutions. They were quick to make the narrative that Drake had the biggest debut when that wasn’t true, w/ major articles to back it up.

Everyone involved in posting this should be fired and everyone in the chain of command whose office is subject to impeachment, including the president, should be impeached. Just for this. I am not kidding in the least, and Democrats who let this go by without comment are putting us all in danger.

America would be a better place if more academics and journalists thought of themselves as workers, which is what they are.

i have been writing about the virginia supreme court decision with a certain amount of analytical detachment but if i’m being honest i’m also fucking furious i took the time to go vote and then my ballot got tossed out by these dipshits

Am I hurting from moving too much? Moving not enough? Moving the wrong way? Sitting in the wrong position? All of the above at the same time?

An essential resource for Philadelphia’s homeless and low-income residents plans to close at the end of June.

This is great, but you're still $97 million short of the funding you campaigned on (at 0.5% of the City budget), Mayor Mamdani. Please keep your promise to the people's libraries! @nycplan.org

There's a major civil rights protest taking place in Selma, Alabama, right now in response to the SCOTUS decision that weakened the Voting Rights Act and the ongoing attack on Black Americans’ political power (video: defiancedispatch/IG)

Short thread but I 100% agree with it. Sexual harassment by a person in power shows that person is an abuser of power.

Today marks Nakba Day, an annual day of remembrance to commemorate the expulsion of more than 700,000 Palestinians between 1947 and 1949 during the creation of the State of Israel and the year that followed.   Inea is a New Yorker and a Nakba survivor. She shared her story with us.

There was a water emergency near me and I got a good look into how much water it takes to live daily. TURN THOSE DATA CENTERS OFF!

ICYMI: @kyle-rempfer.bsky.social FOIA'd the Air Force's report on Aaron Bushnell, the airman who set himself on fire in protest of the war in Gaza. There is a ton of previously unreported info here, including his work for the NSA and several details of his life. taskandpurpose.com/news/airman-...

there's an internal refugee crisis of trans people who've had to abandon their lives and move cross country to flee overwhelming persecution, and our "allies" are having debates about whether or not our "male brains" make us too disruptive to tolerate in spaces, but, y'know, wokely

@ethanscorey.bsky.social and I created a database of every congress member who has received money from ICE’s top contractors, either through company PACs or executives. Published with @theappeal.org and @inthesetimes.com.

This is the situation I refer to the most when trying to explain a the state of book bans right now. Utah has state mandated book destruction for books like Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood, and Damsel by Elana K Arnold. The vast majority of the books are written by women.

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

I'm not sure how much the rest of America knows or understands about the MOVE bombing in Philly, but it was probably the single worst instance of police brutality in American history. I think of it every 5/13 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1985_MO...

This is simply bonkers. The White House is in active discussions with DOJ about settling Trump's lawsuit against the IRS in his favor, *precisely because* a judge might soon throw it out. WH apparently wants DOJ to agree to "settle" the lawsuit *before* that happens. Utter insanity.

If you've followed me for awhile, you'll know that check your sources has been my refrain since 2016... And that's especially true right now with Hantavirus mis/disinformation. Worth a read:

Cornell President Michael Kotlikoff struck student protesters with his car. This is why.

I've been on this hobbyhorse for years: Texas state officials have decided no one needs to live in West Texas or the Panhandle a generation from now and are simply pumping all the water and despoiling the environment as fast as humanly possible. It's unbelievably angering and irresponsible.

Supporters of Milwaukee Muslim leader Salah Sarsour view his arrest and detention by ICE as an escalation of the Trump administration’s crackdown on Pro-Palestinian speech.
