Oh did you want 3300 words from me on today's IOC sex testing rules? An essay on the nature of evidence and why we can't seem to stop getting stuck in the same traps around sex and gender in sports? Wow lucky you!! www.coyotemedia.org/the-olympics...

The cover-up just never ends. Rest in peace, Ruben Ray Martinez.

Arresting a former prince sends a message. And if a former president can testify on Capitol Hill, there’s no reason the current one can’t too—unless this is all about protecting Donald Trump. Insist that your representatives in Congress make that happen. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

“These 9 people were killed by ICE this month and you’re throwing me out while I read their names. How fucking dare you!” @waltermasterson.bsky.social @davidsonboswell.bsky.social stevexnroberts @climatenate.bsky.social zivon_toplin @tomsuozzi.bsky.social is a YES TO FUND ICE !

The detention of witnesses and seizure of their phones is an extraordinary violation of every fucking Amendment you can name: bsky.app/profile/timd...

ICE is DETAINING WITNESSES. WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's pure police state tactics.

OMG listen to this and share it as widely as you can. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Dems must learn from history and from Europe this week. Appeasement is read by tyrants as weakness, and it encourages escalation. We are stronger together than apart. The free states/Dem leaders must come together to form new national opposition force. 2/ www.hopiumchronicles.com/p/we-must-ch...

Alex Pretti, the man killed by federal agents today in Minneapolis, appears to have been a registered nurse, an athlete, a son and a brother, with ties to Colorado and Wisconsin. Here is a photo he used for several accounts.

As I write in new post 👇it's time for free state Govs/AGs/Dem Congressional leaders to rally for the people of Minnesota as Europe rallied for Denmark. We must come together to act & speak with one, unified voice. The assault on Minnesota must end. Now. 1/ www.hopiumchronicles.com/p/the-courag...

He was executed for carrying his cellphone!!!!!!

Star Tribune… witnesses detained, ICE tried to get rid of the police… The cover up is well underway Where is the lady in the pink jacket?

To the people standing up, bearing witness (preserving evidence), speaking out against abuses of power, doing your best to care for people afraid to go outside (citizen or not), whatever your role: YOU are why we will come out on the other side with a stronger, more equitable, more just USA. TY!💙

City/state officials say an ICE agent shot a woman this morning in Minneapolis. The shooting has drawn a large crowd of protesters & law enforcement to the area. City of MN says ICE is causing chaos. Meanwhile, Trump plans on spending $100 million to recruit gun rights & military fans for ICE.

A place to begin. Your local chapters of @indivisible.org & other such groups may be organizing protests. ☎️ your Congressinal Delegation & help circles to do the same. #Venezuela

Mark Warner with a great statement on Venezuela and Trump's violation of the rule of law.

Don’t forget that most political violence comes from the right! @timemagazine.bsky.social time.com/7317383/poli...

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025... At least the Courts still seem to understand the 1st Amendment. If only the networks and telecoms did.

These are calls for mass political violence, against all Democrats. They openly call for the bombing of "Democrat" cities and for the jailing or killing of Democratic politicians. They are from some of the most influential voices in right-wing politics. Will anyone say anything?

‘The forgotten forest’: how smashing 5.6m urchins saved a California kelp paradise

“I was r*ped sometimes 3 times a day on that island… and I was not the only girl on that island… Ghislaine must die in prison, because I’ve been in hell and back for the last 17 years.” Listen to the survivors.

If less than 2% of mass shootings are by trans people, but nearly all the rest are by cis white men…remind me again why we’re stripping rights from trans folxs instead of talking about gun reform and toxic masculinity?

This is the rhetoric of dictators — across time & geography — that freedom (for some) must be sacrificed for security, reinforcing the power of the regime. Instead of engaging in fights about crime rates, the opposition to this madness needs to hammer on this authoritarian frame over & over again.

Over an hour of questions today. None about this.

Hi, fun and tolerant, Bluesky folks. Today Trump announced that the U.S. government is taking a 10 percent ownership stake in Intel. That’s why I called him a Marxist. I’m not apologizing if you didn’t get that.
