My first Singing Resistance Twin Cities event. I should’ve stopped singing when I recorded so you could hear the community sing better. Tonight we sang, organized, and raised rent relief funds for our neighbors in hiding. #abolishice

My latest, for @cottonquiltsedi.bsky.social

Habeas cases filed by immigrants claiming their detention is illegal have taken off to levels we have never seen before. Just look at that chart. www.propublica.org/article/habe...

Why does Mary Anning matter? On International Women and Girls in Science Day, hear what some present day women of science have to say! #WomenInScienceDay #womeninscience

ICE is having a devastating impact on our small businesses here in Minneapolis. Businesses are having to close because of the terror ICE is inflicting on our community. Now is the time to reach out to your federal representative to let them know you don’t support funding DHS.

The Reading Crisis Episode 2 @mostlybooktalk.bsky.social Takeaways for me included: @darrenchetty.bsky.social reflecting on the use of phonics when he was a primary teacher: “a lot of emphasis went on the capacity to decode, but not to make meaning.” #KidLitUK podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/m...

Investigative journalism with a moral force is a public service that we take seriously, and we need a strong contract to do our jobs effectively. That’s why we are ready to strike! Our GoFundMe will help offset the cost of missed pay: www.gofundme.com/f/support-pr...

If I'm not misremembering, didn't those same journalists say Kendrick's halftime show—which featured a chorus of black men dressed as the American flag—wasn't political? Quite the winning streak these folks are on.

I saw a headline that said something like "Bad Bunny stayed away from politics," and I can only assume they watched an entirely different performance than I did.

Bad Bunny’s performance began in the plantation, featured broken electric poles, and ended by centering a hemispheric understanding of “América”—among many other things—and some Anglo journalists are like “his performance wasn’t political.” This is why we need to be telling our stories.

Hi, I'm Trisha & I live in Richfield, MN, just south of Minneapolis. Like other cities in the area, we have been hit hard by "Operation Metro Surge". Less than a month ago I attended my first meeting to help members in our community in need. If you are able to help with rent needs, please donate.

{whispering} people convicted of violent crimes also do not deserve to live in these conditions

🚨 New: We built a visual tracker of the warehouses ICE is targeting across the US. Working off an idea from @actualkatherine.bsky.social, we’ve mapped active searches, canceled deals, and linked state property records. Explore the map here: tinyurl.com/ICEWarehouse...

During these dark times … Thank God for the arts …

#BadBunny's performers continued to dance and party outside the stadium after the #SuperBowl #HalftimeShow

Cardi B and Pedro Pascal. That is an A-list porch party! 💖💖💖

My almost 105 year old abuelita-in-law is VERY excited for Bad Bunny. She came from the island, and for her entire life, she’s been an American citizen! Voted for FDR! 🇵🇷🇺🇸

My chilly walk yesterday reminded me of this photo of 2 climbers on Ben Nevis. I’ve always hoped that at the moment the pic was taken, they were just chatting about what they were planning for tea that night. Pic from @RoamMtns on Twitter years ago

A blessed Bad Bunny Day to us all ✨🐰

I love this portrait of a scientist so much. Portrait of Dr Bouchard, by Tamara de Lempicka, 1928

Wait, THIS is young Anton Chekhov? This? Good lord. Let that gun go off, daddy

kind of funny that an olympian said they are here to represent "compassion, respect, and love for others" and some people automatically knew that was a statement against them

“They’re basically torturing people into signing off on their own deportation,” said one attorney. Superb, deeply reported story, via @charpentier.bsky.social

Tatiani Elliot was brave today. She is a survivor of childhood sexual abuse and gave her testimony in front of Washington state legislators. And they silenced her. “Now that some of us are finally speaking, the rules are changing.” ~ Tatiani “Can you please wrap up?” ~ Committee 1/2

Everyone in nyc wanting one of these this weekend

I was today years old when I learned that Jodie Foster majored in African-American Literature at Yale. She wrote her thesis on "Song of Solomon" and her thesis advisor was Dr. Henry Louis Gates Jr. He even helped her secure an interview with Toni Morrison!

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

“There’s a lot of things that leaders do that are not always publicized—and not that they need to be publicized—but it just makes me wanna do more, try to be more helpful and more effective in a way that impacts people’s lives,” Toni Terrett, Roberet Walker's cousin, said.

The public made noise for Liam Ramos and it got him released from Dilley. Now we must make noise for 7 year old Diana Crespo. Her parents were taking her for emergency medical care when ICE grabbed them, and she’s rotting in the camp sick and exposed to measles. Get them out!

One of my forever faves. 💜

tomorrow i would really like to challenge a few folks with larger followings than me to adopt a rent and raise it in one day. my little group chat and my followers have paid like 70 families rents in the past four days. i believe that some of y’all could help us keep one family housed.

Context: this speech is from SIR THOMAS MORE, a history written, as near as scholars can tell, in the early 1600s by 6 or 7 people including Dekker, Heywood, Chettle, Shakespeare, and Munday. It was never performed, because Jacobean England was a police state and it was banned by the censor.

We gotta come up with a better system than “everything rests on whether these twelve billionnaires are nice”

INBOX: Washington Post Ukraine Correspondent Lizzie Johnson announces that she has been laid off in the middle of a below-freezing war zone without power, heat, or running water.

My story on Elon Musk cutting safeguards at xAI is on the front page of today's @washingtonpost.com. I’m also among 100’s of reporters laid off. I absolutely loved my job my brilliant coworkers & the thrill of reporting @ the center of forces upending the world: AI & Silicon Valley’s political power

This is one of the most important cases that galvanized Black people in the late 40s through the 1950s. Almost every major Black leader had a comment about it. It is also one of the most successful defense committees that was organized in the 20th century. Almost no one knows about it today.

A retiree wrote this email to a DHS attorney. Within five hours, DHS demanded Google turn over records for his account. A Kafkaesque form of domestic surveillance, intimidating Americans for lawful speech. New from us at the Post: www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio... @johnwoodrowcox.bsky.social
