Illinois is lucky to have Rep. Underwood on their side. We need fighters like her for such a time as this!

Clevland, MS showed up! The movement is growing. And it’s powered by Mississippians. Thank you for being part of the conversation. #MississippiMatters #colomforsenate

Thousands of Colorado students have taken over downtown Denver, shutting down streets and demanding ICE OUT. Massive energy, and a message echoing across the city that can't be ignored👊🏼👏🏼

Nazi punks fuck off International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, March 21, 2026 Fight racism, fascism and anti-Semitism every day, always, without compromise #fucknazis #fightracism #nazipunksfuckoff #deadkennedys #punkrockhistory

"To love someone is to strive to accept that person exactly the way he or she is, right here and now." - Fred Rogers In loving memory of the beloved and forever impactful Emmy/Grammy-winning television icon, minister, advocate, and pillar of true human decency on his 98th birthday.

Smart helpful people. Smarter dog. 🐶

Only choice??? Janet Mills is running for Senate You know, the gov who, while in the White House, stood up for the trans community and told DJT to his fact to FO Said she'd see him in court and she won She's also the one without a Na&i tattoo, not a ra&e apologist... bsky.app/profile/jane...

Republicans are now going after Mifepristone — the safe, tested pill that accounts for 63% of abortions in the US. You cannot call yourself the party of freedom if you want to restrict half the country’s rights over their own bodies.

The SAVE America Act does the exact opposite of what its name implies. It places needless burdens on everyone from servicemembers to rural voters to people with disabilities.

I talked with @prisonculture.bsky.social, Alison Macrina, and Katie Clark about libraries as public infrastructure, contested political terrain, and spaces of possibility—and about what it means to fight for them in this fascistic moment.

You don’t have to apologize ‘for’ being white is still a dog whistle. It positions the white man as persecuted by virtue of race. But the real message is that you don’t have to apologize WHILE being white. Apology is the white supremacist’s cardinal sin. Platner was signaling his awareness of this.

Pope Leo is the first Pope to have ever experienced the US healthcare system, so there's that

This is an incredible piece of journalism, documenting the life of someone who came to the US to get a dowry so he could get married and ended up dying in ICE detention after charged with criminally obtaining $154.62 in gift cards and given a $150,000 bond documentedny.com/2026/03/13/c...

ICE ripped a caregiver away from a disabled citizen and left him for dead. Wael Tarabishi described his father as his best friend and his “arms, legs and lungs”. He pleaded for him to be released from the camps & said he would die without him. He died in January. His father is being deported.

two thoughts reading this: first, that i am reminded that the editorial line of christianity today back during the civil rights movement was harsh criticism of King. second, this right here is quite literally slaveholder ideology.

Outrageous. Stripping Liam Conejo Ramos and his family of asylum is beyond cruel and indefensible. This decision must be overturned. Shame.

Pam Bondi is holding a “briefing” with the Oversight Committee. I believe she’s doing this to evade her subpoena. It’s structured exactly like a hearing except she’s NOT under oath & there’s no transcription or video. We just walked out. We’ll see her at her sworn deposition.

By supporting the SAVE Act, Susan Collins is once again doing what's best for her party, not for Maine people.

Harris had a plan for that

I think this story is helping me understand why the generation Dolores Huerta inspired was so strongly tied to the idea that activism should be intersectional before anything else. It's not a buzzword, it's about keeping abusers out of your movement

Lovely

Teams at WCK-supported kitchens in Mawasi organized a communal iftar to help bring displaced families together to celebrate. They served hot meals and #Ramadan sweets, but more importantly, they created a space filled with comfort, joy, and hope. #ChefsForGaza (2/2)

This buck stops with the president who caused all of this chaos by imposing illegal tariffs in the first place. He could have stopped when the first case ruled against him, or the second or the third, but he didn’t stop until the SCOTUS ruled against him. Now judges are stuck cleaning up his mess. ⚖️

1. Why is the US picking on Cuba? 2. Where are all the OMG GENOCIDE people? Don’t All Genocides Matter?

This is so astute. Fascism, generally speaking, is a rebellion, denial, and suppression of the fact of interdependence. That’s why a politics of care is the most effective response.

Translation: We are the last of their concerns right now (or any now)

We all should be so lucky to have a representative who DOES THE WORK like Rep. Lauren Underwood. Look for leaders with significant qualifications like she had. (She was an RN who became a Sr. Advisor at HHS before running for Congress.) Experience matters.

Rodney Taylor, the husband, father, and double-amputee who has been held by U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement in Stewart Detention Center since January 2025, may be deported any day now, according to his wife, Mildred Danis-Taylor. atlanta.capitalbnews.org/rodney-taylo...

“This is one of the most grotesque crimes of our time.”

I have been waiting for this story (because it's the story of my region and the wealth inequality therein) and I'm so happy that Hammer and Hope did it. Not just as news, but as a broader story of why they sicced DOGE on the feds.

Good morning! The website of the 14th Amendment Center for Law & Democracy is LIVE! And it’s 🔥. You need this resource pinned in your favorites. Especially now. 14thamendmentctr.org

Congratulations to my friend and @demlgs.org colleague @julianastratton.bsky.social on her primary victory for the United States Senate! Your vision and commitment to working families have inspired so many, and I know you’ll bring that same passion and determination to the Senate. #LetsWork

NBC calls the Illinois Senate Dem primary for Lt. Gov. Juliana Stratton. 2027 is on track to have three Black women as senators, a new record from the current two. Only five Black women have ever been senators (four elected outright and one appointed). Three years ago there were zero in the Senate

The author & educator who penned one of the greatest Irish American novels also taught Civil Rights activist Andrew Goodman, & after his 1964 lynching found a moving poem he'd written for her class & had it published. That & much more in my St. Patrick's Day column! @hcrichardson.bsky.social 🗃️

Miriam’s book is phenomenal.

That smile is the sun.

“The reason I got a vasectomy is to make sure my girlfriend could be cared for if she wasn’t able to have the same options,” he said. “And me doing my part to help our relationship and our future, that is masculine: helping your partner.”

Sometimes judges like to start off nice, lull you into complacency, but ummmm not this time!

The buried lede here is that the Times got the transcript 😈 www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Olympus Spa claims the First Amendment gives it a right to deny service to pre-op trans women It doesn't: "free speech" wouldn't protect a "WHITES ONLY" sign Yet Judge VanDyke called this attempt to be excused from civil rights laws "a case about swinging dicks" ballsandstrikes.org/legal-cultur...

all the other significant issues aside, i am genuinely disturbed in particular that a man who worked as a bartender has this attitude; ive seen plenty of bartenders stepping in when men are being predatory but this guy apparently would just sneer at it and do nothing

200 books are being moved from their appropriate spots in YA and youth sections into the adult section in Rutherford County Public Libraries (TN). This is to appease book banners and the Secretary of State, who demanded removals based on Trump EOs. It's still a ban. fox17.com/news/local/r...

No oil means no electricity. No electricity means no water pumps. No running water means no sanitation. No power for hospitals. No fuel for ambulances. No refrigeration for drugs. Mass death soon follows. This is a crime against humanity.

Portland pothole artists are seriously my favorite people. If you know one or are one and would be willing to talk about your craft, please DM
