White landlords treated property in the S. Bronx & Brooklyn in the 1970s & 80s like this to send a clear message of deliberate disinvestment & neglect to the people who lived there in the hopes that they'd abandon the space. But the space here is THE CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL. MAGA is a death cult

Yup, I'm definitely mentioning this in all my classes this week

wurman, basically: “just because you can find a bunch of ideological white supremacists trying to redefine the 14th amendment to write ideological racism into its substance doesn’t mean you can’t rely in their arguments to, uh, advance the interests of ideological racists”

You ever think about how living in Maine, and then fighting in Iraq, that Graham Platner's probably killed more brown people than he's said hello to?

Reminder that the reason you're seeing so much weird Chappell Roan news is that just a few weeks ago she fired her Epstein-adjacent agent, Casey Wasserman. Wasserman is still the chairman of the 2028 LA olympics, but has started stepping back from his ad agency.

Great work everyone bsky.app/profile/tomn...

Happy Duke is eliminated day to all who celebrate

Getting their heart took by UConn got my feed celebrating like It Happened so I can safely say the NYT is wrong, again.

Duke won’t solve this until one of their own throws Stephen Miller into an active volcano

A crippling Duke meltdown and choke 2 years in a row?

Oh my god. Lol I saw it here and ran to turn on the tv. My long national nightmare is over!

Everybody take a turn posting.

UCONN STUNS DUKE TO REACH THE FINAL FOUR! Ian Eagle, Bill Raftery, and Grant Hill on the call for the insane UConn go-ahead 3. 🏀🧅🧅🧅🧅🦅🚨🎙️ #MarchMadness #NCAATournament

This is a Final Destination death sequence

HOLY SHIT UCONN

Stephen Miller and Richard Spencer are probably hurt pretty bad if this makes it even more delightful for you

I am a UCONN fan for full disclose. But this rule ALWAYS applies.

I almost fainted. Omg.

Today at Noon! Come through if you can.

America did not meet the universal adult suffrage criteria of democratic governance until 1965. Gatorade is the exact same age as American democracy.

really can't be said enough that this case was decided by the same court that decided plessy v. ferguson. if they could have found a plausible rationale to limit birthright citizenship they would have done it. but there is none! the text is as clear as constitutional language can be.

Sadly @greatdismal.bsky.social recent work is a prescient analysis of our current moment. Hubertus Bigend predicts the behavior of Musk & Theil and Putin, except Bigend actually has a theory beyond nihilistic techno-fascism fueled by a 10th century belief in eugenics.

I’ve been a journalist for 27 years. I’ve reported major stories about mass surveillance, torture, war, the military-industrial complex, police black sites, etc. But this is the most important story I’ve ever had the horror/honor to work on. For it is a story about the current phase of a genocide.

from 1868 to 2025 there was little dispute about what the birthright clause meant and the idea that the past year has been some great scholarly debate is absurd. a handful of partisans and hacks have churned out junk so that the president can get what he wants. that’s it.

A reminder to those watching March Madness. Stephen Miller went to Duke. So Duke losing will make him miserable. Now you know whom to root for.

If you’re a New York resident (city or state) use this thread to see how you can contact Governor Hochul, Mayor Mamdani & AG James. Tell them to live up to their promises to protect trans kids. Don’t let people talk shit to get elected and then not follow through.

Everything is so stupid and there will come a day when folks look back on the persecution of trans folks with the same moral disgust as other crimes against humanity. No one needs protection from trans women. We all need protection, tho, from violent hateful bigots. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/26/w...

Gutter racism. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/27/u...

What the average person thinks HR is supposed to do for them at a job is what unions are actually for.

If a secdef violating the 14th amendment rights of US servicemembers by denying promotions based on race isn’t impeachable then I don’t see what is. The man would rather the military be racist than effective.

So are the headlines saying the Democrats won this round, or nah? Cause they did. Funding for TSA, FEMA, Coast Guard, no funding for ICE. That’s the deal Dems have been offering over & over. Republicans caved.

Schumer won. Schumer. Won.

Pete Hegseth is a gutter racist appointed to transform the US military into the Confederate State’s Army. He should be hounded from public life for the damage he’s caused to that institution.

Women and people of color can risk their lives in Trump's reckless wars of choice but can't get well deserved promotions. No, those only go to white men in Hegeth's DoD. This story about Hegeth's on-going purge is revolting. GIFT LINK: www.nytimes.com/2026/03/27/u...

Just watched The Inquisitor, a 2025 #documentary on Barbara Jordan that premiered last month on PBS as part of its Independent Lens series. Directed by Angela Lynn Tucker and narrated by Alfre Woodard, it features Dan Rather, Jasmine Crockett, Cecile Richards, and more. www.pbs.org/independentl...

Wikipedia now has higher standards than all universities

New pervert glasses about to drop.

Himesh Patel will star opposite Danielle Deadwyler in the ‘X-FILES’ reboot series. Ryan Coogler will write and direct the pilot. (via deadline.com/2026/03/hime...

I'm moderating a panel on the importance of armed resistance w. @benpassmore.bsky.social & @john_vasques_meijas (on IG) at MoCCA Arts Fest on Sunday March 29th at noon. You can see the full slate of programming below, but our panel is the best IMHO. If you're going to MoCCA come through!!!

OMG THIS IS AMAZING!!!

According to documents filed this morning by the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of NY, ICE has been lying for a year — not only to the public, but to the courts and to prosecutors — about being authorized to make arrests at 26 Federal Plaza and other immigration courts. (1/2)

When people ask me about restoring trust in higher ed, there's a reason I bring up presidents calling the police on their students and how I find it curious those students' trust is never a concern

OH MY HEART...the Oberlin Luddites Reject "The Year of AI Exploration"! 💚

you really don't need to pay all that. child abandonment is free.

The US, Israel, and Argentina voted against it. The first two...not shocked. Great Britain and the rest of EU abstained. A fund will be put in place for reparations, but an official amount hasn't been established. For it to get this get to point has a been a fight. The work continues!

"Canny" is a funny way to reveal that white people used to play with Black entertainers' monies.

Maybe Baker should have spent less time complaining about black people winning journalism awards and spent more time accurately describing the man running the most powerful country in the world bsky.app/profile/carl...
