Pedro Sanchez and Spain's criticism of Trump's war: "The Spanish government will not applaud those who set the world on fire just because they are now showing up with a bucket of water." This is leadership and moral backbone.

Honestly the justices (particularly Justice Sotomayor) sound ... somewhat taken aback that they're even hearing this case. And ... same? Also - you didn't have to! You could have just issued a summary op saying "See the Fourteenth Amendment"! Even last year in the nationwide inujunction case!

Everyone needs to stop what they’re doing and watch this video. “It seems like there’s a lack of diversity here today, and it’s mostly people who look like you and me, and I just…?” This lady’s response is🔥

If you aren’t able to participate in an in-person event, there’s a virtual option! #nokings

I spoke with @nytimes.com about today's #NoKings Day events and why the focus must be on channeling outrage into strategic action (and not meeting some magical number): “It’s not about inflatable costumes. It’s not about clever signs.” www.nytimes.com/2026/03/28/u...

Are coffee shop + plant store combo businesses a Pennsylvania thing? Currently sitting in the second one I’ve come across since moving here. No complaints, it’s cool to buy pots and plants and soil after enjoying a cup of coffee- just curious?

lol

Less than one month left to submit! We are looking for studies that "delve into how journalism continues to evolve with the active involvement of 'citizens,' 'users,' 'audiences,' 'fandoms,' 'followers' and/or other types of engaged 'participants'." www.aejmc.org/aejmc-events... @aejmc.bsky.social

I typically prefer reading a physical book for fiction and listening to an audiobook for nonfiction. The exception to this is memoir- I could go either way on those, but if the author reads their own work, I might be swayed toward the audiobook version.

Since reading the @dailydetroit.bsky.social newsletter yesterday, I can't stop thinking about the implications of the perception-reality gap identified by this study for so many issues

Another reason to be skeptical about the rush to develop more data centers: AI infrastructure needs may not be as significant in the near future because of the potential shift from tools that are cloud-based to those that are device-based: open.substack.com/pub/theaugme...

"Local journalism often begins before a camera is rolling, before a live shot is framed, before a headline is written. It begins with proximity. With awareness. With someone deciding that what’s happening matters enough to go see it firsthand." Minnesota journalists are meeting the moment.

About OpenAI: “Years ago it developed a technology that was 99.9 percent accurate in detecting work generated by the company’s ChatGPT. Senior executives had internal debates about whether to let educators have access to the tool. They opted not to.” Yeah.

Universe, take the worries we carried today, quiet the overthinking, hold what feels heavy so we can rest; we release what didn’t go right, forgive what we didn’t finish, and wake up tomorrow to a clean page. Goodnight 🌙

If an increasing unpopular leader, known for shaping reality w/ lies, wanted to subvert democracy, would they: A) complain that the polls are “fake news”, B) threaten polling organizations into silence, C) sow distrust in election results, or D) find ways to disenfranchise voters of the other party?

A must read that underscores 1) all politics are local, 2) the importance of having access to reputable local news & information, 3) the necessity of paying attention to what gets approved in local public meetings, and 4) the role that local planners might play in resistance

Fantastic fact-checking by Jer at @dailydetroit.bsky.social!

Enten: "Failure, failure, failure going into the midterm elections, because Donald Trump was elected to fix the economy, and people still believe lowering prices should be the top priority, and at this point 55% of people say the economy is getting worse."

Reason no. 379 that moving to a new academic institution after graduation is not the same as moving to a new non-academic job: you still have access to your old email. Between that and the security measures I'm trying to adopt in my personal life, the number of email addresses I have now is bonkers

ah, Wednesday, when what should have been a 5-minute task turns into an hourlong investigation

The salsa shelf at TJ’s is quickly emptying and my non-scientific estimation is that 65% of people I observed on the street today are wearing some sort of Eagles gear #gobirdsiguess

The Trump admin has tried to chill dissent, weaken the media, & muzzle universities, law firms, corporations. Its attacks on free speech are incessant & chilling. Read my @freepress.bsky.social report documenting Trump & his year of targeting speech that isn't his: www.freepress.net/attack-on-fr...

I ran across enough of these nonexistent articles in student references lists this semester that I was compelled to spend extra time double checking sources for each paper @rollingstone.com www.rollingstone.com/culture/cult...

Buttigieg on Indiana: "The big part of how Trumpism works is to make you feel totally disempowered. To make him feel inevitable. And yet the clear takeaway from this is he is not unstoppable and you are not without power."

I feel this in my bones… THE AMERICAN WORKER IS ALL OF US. Black, white, Latino, Asian, Native, immigrant, union or not. Not the “working class” stereotype. We built this country. We keep it running. Stop dividing. Start recognizing. I have a lot to say open.substack.com/pub/cwebbstu...

At #NCA2025 to present in both a session and short course on my first book chapter, which apparently arrived to my home shortly after I left for the airport today! 🙃

I voted for Slotkin even though I’m not always a fan of her policies or approach. But I’m not mad at this at all

Same. Maybe because it’s so familiar to us? So “schoolyard bully?“ We’ve all known this guy/boy but in those cases there have been some -albeit modest- norms, systems, & structures that constrain and punish this behavior. But here: there are none because we’ve decided that for him there are none.

A resident who met with the mayor prior to the passage of Proposal N was quoted by the @freep.com back in July in celebration of the 8,000th demo, “My grandson was in my lap when we had that meeting at my house. He's 6 now. He plays in the lots that I now own.” All of those lots need to be tested.

It’s a scream-constantly kind of week.

Found this heartbreaking note on the snack board outside my office at Penn State. @johnfetterman.com, I hope you feel like crap for selling Pennsylvanians like this person out for absolutely nothing. Because that's what Democrats got: nothing but a meaningless promise about healthcare.
