🚨The Supreme Court today gives Trump a license to engage in racial profiling, with Justice Kavanaugh writing in concurrence to expressly endorse ICE and Border Patrol targeting any Latinos they observe in Los Angeles speaking Spanish and then demanding their papers.

SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in a college applicant's file is blatantly unconstitutional ALSO SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in targeting whom to detain and deport is cool cool cool

After Muscogee Nation won a Supreme Court Decision–over FIVE years ago–Oklahoma’s Gov is still refusing to comply. Now, the Gov is suing the city of Tulsa for working with the tribe.

Here is a good thing to have in you wallet. Yes, Washington State is in here.

I will remind folks those images of Nazi book burnings aren't burning just any books. They're burning the library of Magnus Hirschfeld; a gay, Jewish doctor who created an institute dedicated to LGBTQ sex education and healthcare. And a man who pioneered gender affirming care surgeries.

Today’s study material while I work this cat-sitting gig. I’m up to 700 words on Burnt Rubber and flailing at the physics of it all.

This is the best birthday present!

I have so much I could say on this but I can’t get my words right so just read the article

"Age verification" laws are actually "upload your ID or get your face scanned to access every website, ending anonymity and associating your identity with everything you do online" laws and if more people understood that they would not be down for this authoritarian nonsense

👀 NEWS: IRS documents show conservative propaganda machine PragerU spent $650,000 on a gala at Mar-A-Lago - and soon after Trump targeted PBS for elimination, setting up PragerU to fill the educational void in schools across the country America. www.levernews.com/prageru-is-m...

So much for being "tough on crime."

Masked raids are tools of fear, not freedom. Despite what this administration wants you to believe, they are not about “safety.” They are about letting ICE agents hide from accountability while carrying out inhumane acts.

The Miccosukee Tribe helped stop Alligator Alcatraz, being constructed on their land! Late yesterday, a federal judge ruled Miccosukee citizens must be able to “access to the site consistent with the access they enjoyed before the erection of the detention camp.” thehill.com/regulation/c...

Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now, due to a new state law that requires age verification for all users. While intended for child safety, we think this law poses broader challenges & creates significant barriers that limit free speech & harm smaller platforms like ours.

Haven’t thought about them in so long… #Newmann is really the ship of all time! Fell in love as long distance pen pals > enemies > frenemies > lab partners > lovers. No one is doing it like them

My current status: ✨😭crying in the club😭✨ because this is the best thing ever! I am incoherent!

The argument against regulation is always the same: “It stifles growth and jobs.” But just as tax cuts for corporations have not trickled down, regulatory cuts have not benefited most people. Big companies enjoy bigger profits. Working people bear the costs.

🧵Excellent piece "They appear to have inverted the promise of the internet as an endless archive of information one can navigate for themselves. Do your own research has, in short order, become Get one canonical answer." This helps explain why Trump/Vance have gone all in on AI...

The fight over truth is so bitter because power flows from the dominant narrative–the power to shape both public sentiment and public policy. www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/8/...

"Every single person in my store is supportive and accepting of who I am, including my boss, the other managers, and every colleague in every part of the store. At times my workplace is the only safe space in my life which is a bit sad."

The recent publication of Generation Mechs by @jroberts332.bsky.social has reminded me of the work I started on this reissue of some of the best bits of my 90s Transformers Fanzine. Originally I was going to do this as a printed zine but so far the page count is close to 80+ pages which would make…

She’s an Irish national. Is No 10 going to make a similar threat to everyone outside Britain who supports PA?

If you need someone you know to confirm the below info, I can and do. Creating/adding those used to be part of my job. In the beginning these trackers weren’t intended to track people individually, but as privacy is eroded and tech bros gain power things can and will get worse.

LOOK WHAT I GONE AND DONE Trying to make the ARTOBOT Art Book available as widely as I can, so I set up a Ko-Fi for you to grab a PDF of the 80-page sucker! The hardcopy was £20/€25 so I'm making the digital edition €14 (or higher if you want)! Let's see how it goes! ko-fi.com/nickrocheart...

I thought a lot abt just that elbow joint and that's it

Writers should internalize Lao Tzu's lesson about how the emptiness at the center of a wheel is what makes it useful, and how a pot is valuable because of where the clay *isn't*. Corporate geek culture has warped us into thinking that negative spaces are flaws that need to be fixed.

there's an episode of The Simpsons where Marge tries to get a violent cartoon pulled from the airwaves, only to discover that the people backing her aren't going to stop at just the art that *she* doesn't like, and that supporting artistic freedom means accepting discomfort. It aired in 1990.

Project 2025’s roadmap for dismantling American government is 47% complete, according to the website Project 2025 Tracker. Remember when Trump denied knowing about the authoritarian playbook and many pundits and politicians gave him a pass? https://youtu.be/XmZm3zeSSDc?feature=shared

Today marks the 60th anniversary of the passage of the Voting Rights Act. The beginning of true democracy in America. A offering to this country paid for by the work, dedication and lives of ordinary Black people. We’ve always had to fight. Are you prepared to fight to protect our rights?
