"nearly 75% of instructional staff in American higher education now work outside the tenure system. Contingency no longer exists at the edges of academic life; it increasingly defines the structure through which the university teaches, adapts, + reproduces itself." working-mass.com/2026/06/04/i...

@lulugn.bsky.social did an amazing interview with Scott Pelley - there is so much depth & richness it can't be summarized. I will say this. If young men need an example of positive masculinity, they should watch this video. @nytopinion.nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/video/podcas...

Just saying…. #BookSky

@jamellebouie.net story idea, maybe?

The agenda is simple: Raise wages. Guarantee healthcare. Protect rights. End corruption. That's what Democrats should be fighting for.

This will not end w/ voting rights. The fundamental premises of these SCOTUS opinions are: 1) Anti-discrimination is actually unconstitutional discrimination; 2) Intentional discrimination isn't actionable if any alternative rationale is presented. It's the beginning of the end of civil rights law.

Incredible! Scientists receive a rare standing ovation after announcing that a new treatment can double the survival time for pancreatic cancer, the deadliest cancer which was once considered “undruggable.” When we fund and support science, we can achieve anything! (Video: Dr. Wish Dhillon)

Thank goodness the credit card companies are going to be OK!

As horrifying as this campaign of premeditated murder is, what might be even more disturbing is the utter indifference of Congress, the public and our allies to such a shocking and unapologetic obliteration of the many laws and norms against targeting civilians. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/31/w...

Donald Trump has decided to use his DOJ lickspittles to try to intimidate an 82-year-old woman whom he owes $88.3 million after a trial jury found he sexually assaulted her three decades ago. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/27/u...

@jonathancapehart.bsky.social interviewed @chrismurphyct.bsky.social about his new book Crisis of the Common Good. Great message at a difficult time.

1. Lead Left, a super PAC created on 4/24, purports to stand "against MAGA extremists." It has spent $3M+ in Democratic primaries. But it's funders and motivations have been secret. Until now. It's a GOP dirty tricks operation. 🧵

Here's how the corruption works: Thursday: RJ Reynolds donates $5M to Trump Saturday: Trump invites RJR execs to Mar a Lago; execs ask to loosen regs on flavored vapes; Trump calls up RFK Jr. and tells him to change it Friday: FDA changes the policy

I rarely post anything *explicitly* political, but one of the best leaders under whom I ever served in the FBI is running for Congress in MD-05. It’s difficult for me to think of anyone with whom I’ve worked that better understands the importance and responsibilities of public service.

been waiting to make my @splitzoneduo.com debut since forever. it's been one of my favorite podcasts for a long time. so glad to hop on and talk about something that i care about a lot — and that I'm currently writing about.

It speaks so badly of our attention economy that John Fetterman is the topic of endless conversation for being an unhinged jerk, while Andy Kim from right next door gets such little hype for being a decent human being

In which Professor Wurman candidly admits why he sees the history of the common law differently than anyone who has honestly studied it, and why rather than doing scholarship he just wrote and op-ed and a (terrible, demonstrably wrong) article about the common law that should have been rejected.

Obama (2016): "’Everyone here is someone's hero’ – those who rest beneath this silence, not only here at Arlington, but at veterans' cemeteries across our country & around the world, & all who still remain missing, they didn't speak the loudest about their patriotism. They let their actions do that”

The allies at Normandy died to save democracy. We can show our appreciation by protecting ours. #MemorialDay2026

The #1 reason I am on @bsky.app - the lack of a corporate algorithm dictating content, including ads. I do not want to do battle with a corporation manipulating what I see for profit. It's really that simple.

Sometimes I think the “I come onto social media to get out of my bubble” is a white boy phenomenon like free-climbing or wing-suiting where white men have so little actual adrenaline risks in their day to day lives that they need to artificially construct it

I absolutely want to be in a bubble on social media why the fuck else would I use it? I’m a Black woman well-versed in US history I am going to have everyone else’s cultural baggage and perspectives shoved into my life every minute I am not actively resisting; I deserve some goddamn peace

@nytimes.com can we PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THINGS HOLY retire the phrase "critics say" in relation to Trump's conduct? "Critics call the compensation plan a political slush fund bankrolled by taxpayer money." IT IS A POLITICAL SLUSHFUND OF TAXPAYER MONEY. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/05...

Many of you are asking how you can help me. My only ask is this: Spread the word about the threats to democracy and how we can fight back. Tell everyone to subscribe to Democracy Docket for free and share its content with everyone you know. Thanks. bit.ly/4a7l1TR

The largest federal reparations fund in US history goes not to indigenous tribes or descendants of formerly enslaved people or interned Japanese-Americans — but to J6ers who smeared shit on the walls of the US Capitol and attempted to hang the Vice President.

After Plessy v Ferguson it was 58 years before we got a court willing to overturn it. I don’t think Black people who want to vote and women who want to have rights to their bodies and trans people who want to EXIST should have to wait that long because it offends your sense of propriety.

Hi Bluesky 👋 I finally deleted my X/Twitter account today after years of going back and forth about it. Walking away from nearly 4k followers was honestly terrifying. Washington photographer obsessed with wildlife, ferries, storms, and dramatic Pacific Northwest light ❤️

61 years ago, state troopers attacked unarmed, peaceful protestors in Selma with clubs & tear gas. Images & videos of Bloody Sunday shocked the nation & eventually led to the passage of the VRA – which SCOTUS just destroyed Our fight is not over. Today we march again for equality & justice

We have to reclaim our power. We must listen to the wisdom of the courageous civil rights leaders who came before us and showed us the way forward. When enough of us stand together and fight back, we cannot be silenced.

You and me both.

The Voting Rights Act was won by generations who believed in democracy and refused to sit out.   In moments of uncertainty, we still have the power to create change. Young people have always driven movements that pushed this country forward.   Now it’s our turn to protect voting rights.

This is a long shot because this isn't the old twitter, but I'm looking for history articles/books that look at cases of British/Irish settlers/squatters being prosecuted for crimes against Indigenous/colonized people. It can be anywhere in the world, but ideally the late C18/early C19.

I wish I didn’t know as much about the end of Reconstruction as I do. If you understood what is being unleashed now, how it will touch every aspect of our civic life, and how difficult it will be to undo it, you wouldn’t be able to think about anything else.
