Happy publication date to Rebekah Denison Hewitt, whose poetry collection CREATURE IN BLOOM is out today! Learn more: uwpress.wisc.edu/Books/C/Crea.... If you're in Madison, we hope you'll join Rebekah Hewitt & @ritamae.bsky.social at @roomofonesownbooks.bsky.social for the March 31 launch event!

Obama: "We are living in a time where it can be hard to hope. Each day we wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions. Another setback to the idea of the rule of law ... but this man - Rev. Jesse Jackson - inspires us to take a harder path ... bc if we don't step up, nobody else will"

Every time you order from this company, you support their attacks on democracy plus extremely exploitive labor practices. Get your cardboard boxes somewhere else, please.

We have these in Madison and the UW-Madison campus. Maybe it's time to start talking about this.

Madison: save the date! Rebekah Denison Hewitt will launch her new poetry collection, Creature in Bloom, at @roomofonesownbooks.bsky.social on March 31, in conversation with @ritamae.bsky.social! Details: roomofonesown.com/event/2026-0...

Wow! This is some top-notch investigative journalism. The report claims the 3 million Epstein files released are only 2% of the total. The massive scale of what’s still missing is hard to comprehend.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year. Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity. Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall. It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

I know you've heard that a federal judge ordered the release of 5 year old Liam Conejo Arias and his father, and that they're now home. But did you look at the judge's order? It's less than 2.5 pages and well worth a minute. "Jesus wept." Link to pdf: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The best take ever.

Any reputable journalism organization would fire someone who manipulated a photo this way; many have done exactly that. It’s a shame our government can’t adhere to such a basic ethical and moral code too. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

They are trying to train us to be silent, so make some noise

beautiful writing from @wisconsam.bsky.social here

Let’s make one thing clear from the start: Charlie Kirk was the victim of a shooting in a country where he, along with other right-wing extremist influencers, have been inciting violence for years. — Kirk is neither a martyr nor a hero, he is a cause.

Let's talk about art, baby! #MadisonWI www.hisawyer.com/arts-literat...

The most misleading statement Barrett makes about mail scanning is this: "The evidence is clear." It is very much not clear. Dane County's own data on mail and contraband is especially not clear, as we found when we actually bothered to check out these claims tonemadison.com/articles/dan...

Isn't consistently referring to Jeffrey Epstein as "a financier" like always referring to Ted Bundy as "an office worker"?

Hey friends, check your vaccines and your kids. This shit is ridiculous.

I'm so glad someone has said this out loud

Another death is on his hands

🤔 The sloppiness of the cover-up here is astounding

A little good news to put some wind in your sails today.

Start your morning with two minutes of the testimony of Samuel Garcia, an average American who drove 3 hours to speak truth to power to the Texas legislature. Let’s decide that we are all Samuel Garcia. Get in their faces and make them listen. Mr. Garcia is a great American.

I just want to point out that "mourn" has a meaning and it is not a thing that Trump is remotely capable of. @usatoday.com

A moment of silence for the beam in her own eye

Now where on Earth could those Epstein files be? 🤷‍♂️

RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES 📜 I heard it was not trending anymore. Let's keep the heat 🔥

Seriously, because the NYTimes said MAGA is cool with Trump's pedophilia, we're all just going to move on? #EpsteinFiles

If we’re lucky, Colbert is about to have a year-long DGAF era. The man’s off the leash. What are they gonna do, cancel him?

Why is @theatlantic.com using "anti-abortion" instead of pro-choice? I'm anti-forced-birth, actually.

I'd say bombing for peace is more like killing writers to promote literacy. Books can be reprinted.

That any of us have to care about the messy breakup of these two massive narcissists — and that they both individually wield such massive power — is an indictment of our political system and further proves the poisonous influence of Big Money on our democracy.

A fight in a madhouse about who is Napoleon...

The craziest thing about this fight between Trump and Elon Musk is that Republicans are trying to take away health care from 16 million people to pay for tax cuts for billionaires.

The whole Elon/OrangeTurd feud smacks of WWF. Tired of the drama #kayfabe

RFK Jr’s HHS Plans to Cut the National Suicide Hotline’s Program for LGBTQ Youth. It receives on average 2,100 contacts a day. This is metaphorically telling LGBTQ youth they can go kill themselves. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

She was right.

I think the maps show that there aren't nearly as many red counties but rather counties with very high voter apathy.

The stock market has lost $4 trillion in value, which is 4 times as much as all Americans lost to frauds in 2023. Trump is the most epic con of all time.

That's what I'm talking about! Thanks to everyone who donated, knocked doors, talked with friends and neighbors, held signs, and especially VOTED!

Congratulations to Judge Susan Crawford on her victory, and to the people of Wisconsin for electing a judge who believes in the rule of law and protecting our freedoms.
