Columbia and Northwestern are the academic homes to the most prestigious journalism schools in the country and they are the two universities that caved to the Trump administration’s extortion demands that are directly connected to the First Amendment. Just gonna sit with that for a while.

The most openly racist, eugenicist monsters are running the U.S. They will use every opportunity to advance their agenda. And as the wheels come off their regime they will only grow more brutal and obscene. These are dangerous days for us all.

The Trump administration has reacted to a small scale lone wolf attack by in DC announcing a sweeping collective punishment, using the organs of government to heap blame on partisan rivals, and potentially dissuading anyone from collaborating with US forces abroad for a generation.

“I had to take the baby from my crying wife’s arms.“ It hasn’t even been a year, and this is not a scandal anymore? What is wrong with us?

Hugely gratifying!

Photos from St. Paul today captured by MPR photojournalist Kerem Yücel. He filed them even after being hospitalized after being injured by a less lethal munition.

95% of authors are not making a living through book publishing. The public needs to understand this.

If messaging out of Minnesota’s GOP to Congresspeople is any indication, our state is going to spend 2026 drowning in messages targeting Somali community, immigrants, and trans folks. These aren’t “distractions” they’re active attempts to scapegoat anyone seen as “other.” We must stand together.

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw. The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

Illegal and shameful and just how police behave in authoritarian regimes. And also wildly unpopular and not the country Americans want.

Immigrants make up a significant proportion of all the country's doctors. New policies are making it harder and less appealing for foreign-born physicians to come to the U.S. n.pr/4pt2A0r

Microsoft Excel also does not understand jokes Genuinely, it is such a serious problem that academics and media outlets are presenting text processing software as if it could ever "understand" anything. All this does is misinform the public and do supply free PR for tech companies

A trans teen in Iowa completed suicide after severe bullying by classmates and teachers. "Miles’ death came a day after a substitute teacher refused to use his preferred pronouns." It's the type of bullying @thefireorg.bsky.social and @aricohn.com support. www.thepinknews.com/2025/11/17/m...

Sad that our only only comfort in the face of the President’s wild threats is that he’s a liar, a buffoon, and senile

It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends. We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over. We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

1) Start the worst European war since 1945 and commit every imaginable war crime 2) Decide how you want to be rewarded for your aggression 3) Leak the list of your desiderata to the US press 4) Wait for the US president to enforce your wish list on your victim. Russian policy 2025

There is a post circulating on Bluesky encouraging the moving of a frozen turkey straight into a pot of hot oil. We are combating this misinformation the best way we know how - through the power of dance music.

That is that the president of the United States has to say about abduction, torture, and assassination of Jamal Khashoggi—”things happen.” The “thing” that should happen now is the impeachment, trial, conviction, and removal from office of Donald Trump. maryturck.com/2025/11/21/t...

Donald Trump wants to turn us against each other, but Minnesotans don't turn on our neighbors. People from all walks of life and all across the world are proud to call our state home, and Minnesota is better for it.

A professor at Harvard released a study that indicates that the death toll on Gaza is close to 400,000 people. Incredible. Just insane. And the USA enabled and sponsored every single death. One of the most disgusting things to happen in my lifetime.

On @allinwithchris.bsky.social Gov Kathy Hochul responds to Rep Elise Stefanik’s repeated assertions that Zohran Mamdani is a “jihadist”: “She’s full of shit.”

Tenants at Gray's Landing, across from the Portland ICE facility, have described damaging health effects from the airborne toxins and a heavy emotional toll.

you'd think the forced displacement of 10 million people from one of the oldest centres of civilisation in human history would get a little more news attention than beltway journalists writing essays on how Olivia Nuzzi is a genius because they want to bone her and you'd be wrong

S4 of the Gilded Age better have Oscar Isaac as George Russell's socialist brother who protests him by refusing to wear a shirt. And also Mamie Fish throws a party for dogs (a real thing that happened)

A stunning visual of Chicago's 20-year death gap, mapped on the L, via @myersjustinc.bsky.social @chicago.suntimes.com. Here's what residents & community leaders are doing to close this gap: tinyurl.com/47r2vcj5 @wbez.org @chjreportinghealth.bsky.social @watchdogdiva.bsky.social @kffhealthnews.org

If you receive an illegal order, you have a duty to disobey. This isn’t controversial. A President calling for the execution of anyone who reminds service members of this oath is showing us why the duty to disobey illegal orders is so important in the first place.

Take a read at this post made by Mukhtar M. Ibrahim regarding the comments made by Chief O’Hara about the East African community. A real apology and accountability is required.

So it’s worse than we thought

Kash Patel's personal firing of the Pride flag-displaying employee was always absurd and unconstitutional, so I'm glad David Maltinsky is suing, but, wait. It was a flag FLOWN BY THE FBI that was given to him BY THE FBI?! Come on. Complaint: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Minnesota has been shaken to its core by political violence this year. We know first hand that rhetoric like this has real life consequences. Everyone should call this out for what it is - the sitting president calling for deaths of Members of Congress. This is what dictators do.

A Trump supporter started murdering his way through an assassination list of Democratic law makers FIVE MONTHS AGO. He murdered my colleague Melissa Hortman, and her husband Mark — and attempted to assassinate my dear friend John Hoffman and his wife Yvette. I was also on the hit list. WTF

Erik Alarcon, whose uncle and cousin were detained in Tuesday's operation, says the family had planned to gather for Thanksgiving next week. Now, they’re trying to figure out where their relatives were taken and whether they can contact them.

It may be repeating the obvious, but Mary Bruce is a first-rate reporter. In the face of a presidential tirade aimed at silencing her, she calmly and professionally demonstrated why a free and independent media remains essential, asking questions that people in power don't want to answer

Has anyone written the hardcore business story: Target shit the bed on its values and customers and wrecked the business?

If the president can just raise taxes and spend money without Congressional approval, the constitution is null and void.

What's going on in New Mexico???

Taking down Trump isn’t even political anymore, it’s about taking down a transnational criminal organization operating at the highest echelons of US government and putting our international security at extreme risk.

i'd say it did. the public put a group of thieves, vandals and extremists in office last november and they promptly went about destroying everything that might work to limit their ability to loot, steal and inflicting pain on the people they hate

There is an email in which Jeffrey Epstein offered a NY Times reporter photos of Donald Trump and “girls in bikinis in my kitchen.”

The AI bubble may be about to bust. Peter Thiel has sold all of his Nvidia stock. We all need to say this very clearly: NO BAILOUTS FOR THEFT-TECH! Expropriate their asses instead. They stole from all of us and fully plan to burn the planet. They owe us - not the other way around. 1/3

@govpritzker.illinois.gov I want you to watch this video of me slammed to the ground- why are you allowing this to happen to people you know are on the right side of history. They tied my hands behind my back and when I asked them to be loosened because I was going numb they said, “STFU.”

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

imagine how much better our city would be if more mayors and councilmembers and department heads actually rode transit and bikes.

I’ll hate merrick garland’s doj until I am dead probably

We can all be doing this. We can all be forming community groups. We can all learn how to protect each other. This regime wants to tear us apart and crush our shared values. We won’t let them. We will build while they break, and soon enough, we’ll be so organized, they won’t be able to stop us.

Hard, fast rule from a veteran police reporter: Excepting anyone engaged in infiltrating a criminal conspiracy in an undercover capacity, any law officer who hides his identity from the public is a shitheel is doing vile shit and is, in fact, actively destroying the credibility of law enforcement.

Refusing to fund SNAP is ableism. Cutting Medicaid is ableism. Terminating ACA subsidies is ableism. Slashing affordable housing is ableism. This regime has a very clear eugenics agenda. They’re targeting services they know disabled people rely on to survive. We are not expendable.

Today, thousands of people came out to events all across NYC—picking up and handing out materials to defend their neighborhoods from ICE. There were whistles kits & know your rights cards. People went to hundreds of businesses hanging signs of solidarity. Incredible feat by @handsoffnyc.bsky.social.
