Scratch a transphobe, find a misogynist. They don’t care about protecting women, they care about controlling us. Transphobia is a threat to all women’s rights.

Solid explanation of dysautonomia as well as some recovery tips.

Yesterday I had a busy morning but a restful afternoon, so I was expecting I'd be mostly ok today. But I didn't sleep much, and had a minor stressor this morning - as a result my autonomic issues are having a party. HR all over the place, drained, brain fogged, uncoordinated etc. Really

Let's try this again 👋 Hi Bluesky - I'm Massachusetts' Attorney General. You might know me from suing President Trump nearly 50 times, beating Uber and Lyft in court, or being the first woman of color elected to statewide office in MA. I officially left X today - help me find my MA people?

Librarian here. We grant library cards to ALL residents, no matter their age or legal status. Our ID requirements pertain to establishing residency only. Do not invoke libraries, which embrace *everyone* in its civic fold, as a precedent for measures designed to *suppress* civic participation.

SO MUCH THIS, I am also so very tired of this, shaming terrible people is great but shame them for the REASON THEY ARE TERRIBLE and not for anything about their bodies or appearances

NEW: Jeffrey Epstein cultivated relationships with CBP officers at the airports he frequented. Epstein emailed and texted with six CBP officers, invited them to his island, visited with them at the airport, and frequently sought to determine who was going to be on duty when he was traveling

This is…a lot. In addition to her husband being investigated, the Labor Secretary herself is also being investigated for “having an inappropriate sexual relationship with a subordinate—a member of her security detail—and abusing her office by taking staff to strip clubs…”

MUST READ: The best synthesis I have seen so far of things I knew or had put together from various sources but had not really seen pulled together 🧪 Importantly, I don’t think these academics were an aberration. I think a lot of scientists would have entered these circles, given the option.

One of the hardest things to wrap one’s mind around is that these dudes can write this shit utterly convinced that they’re not having an emotion.

If you are wondering what words the all-male Congress found so "blasphemous" that they felt compelled to literally scrape them off the monument, they were: ''Woman, first denied a soul, then called mindless, now arisen, declared herself an entity to be reckoned.''

For me one of the most disturbing aspects of the links between Epstein and academia is that the power and incentive structures that encouraged this entanglement are all still in place. Structurally, nothing has changed.

Gang. GANG. LLM DETECTORS ARE ALSO LLMs AND PRONE TO THE EXACT SAME ERRORS. STOP USING THEM.

Grift all the way down

Republicans' Big Ugly Bill gave Trump $190 billion for DHS, including $75 billion for ICE and $65 billion for CBP. That's money Republicans stripped from rural hospitals and helping people afford health care. Congress should claw it back and put serious restraints on DHS.

Honestly nothing feels different here today at all. There are still ICE raids all over, they're still letting people out at Whipple into the cold with nothing, and like you said, people still need food and rent money.

I know you know this, but for folks who aren’t here: ICE uses racial profiling and AI tools that “estimate” your chance of citizenship to decide who to detain. They often refuse to accept documentation of someone’s right to be in the U.S.—and may destroy it instead.

Out of curiosity, I just ran a few paragraphs from The Butchering Art through an AI checker and it got flagged: 88% AI. This book was released in 2017, and AI machines were subsequently trained off it. How many writers are getting flagged for AI because of the literal theft of their work(s)? Insane.

Alison Green shares letters she's received from folks in Minneapolis: www.askamanager.org/2026/01/lett...

Fascism thrives on spectacle & complicity. CBP/ICE/police are forces of terror that feed off illusions of their own invincibility. Their power depends on us hiding, shrinking & giving into fear. They want deference—we serve back defiance because we know we have each other. Minneapolis doesn’t cower🖤

Man who wouldn’t wear mask to protect people fine wearing mask to shoot them

This or just dumping people *in the woods* AND sending folks out w/o their phone or I.D. Volunteers w/ Safe Haven wait at the gate & do sweeps of the woods, with warm clothes, a burner, and a ride home, "so no one is left alone at the gate." I donated; pls join me if you can: gofund.me/7d506a3d0

Every time I talk to someone outside of Minnesota, we always spend time on *really* basic things they have don’t understand about what is happening here. So let’s do a Q&A. What are your most basic questions about what’s going on in Minnesota?

it reveals pretty plainly that "merit-based hiring" means "you belong to the correct class and hold the right set of identities"

I am. But there are three things at play here regarding ICE collecting private data. Quick rundown on the issue, why you should be paying attention, and what I'm doing about it:

2. ICE is buying your private location data from sleazy data brokers through a legal loophole. I've had a bill to stop this since 2021. I'm renewing my push to get it passed into black letter law as soon as possible.

Example B:

I think @sarahjeong.bsky.social said it's because they devalue women's labor and a LOT of this Scary Logistics stuff comes from people who don't understand that basically all of the civic life they enjoy is created with the help of free labor, largely by women.

George Washington was many things over the course of his lifetime. He was a president, he was general, he was a planter, he was a husband. He was also an enslaver. In order to understand who Washington was, you have to hold all of those things together. You can’t run from the parts you don’t like.

It’s not so much that Trump & co don’t think slavery was important, they want to remove this history precisely *because* of how important it was. They don’t want people to learn about slavery because then people would understand how it continues to shape the landscape of inequality in America today.

Hey #BibWeek, help me promote this job? ukjobs.uky.edu/postings/614... (I'm not there because I'm in Spain but you'll work with me a lot and I'm happy to chat)

Everyone who wears glasses is technically disabled. And yet those are some of the most ableist people on earth. Reality check sweetie, if it wasn't for your disability aids you woulda been dead. Yo ass cant see! Without glasses you woulda stumbled to your death years ago🤣be nice to others

There's no better way to observe MLK Day than to go on the news and insist that the civil rights protesters objecting to police brutality are actually "paid agitators"

The white woman in Little Rock who took pity on Elizabeth Eckford as she was being mobbed by hundreds of screaming white adults? Paid agitator.

And if you truly have none, you can be the person you wish your ancestors were

I have always told my white students that they can acknowledge the harm that white supremacy has done, and choose to repair that harm, but I've advised them not to stay there. You do have some fierce AF ancestors, too. It's just that we don't learn about them or what we learn is lies *on purpose.*

There’s a certain kind of aging provocateur who can’t imagine losing on the merits, so every loss becomes proof of discrimination. Like... dude, you lost to Ricky Gervais. I don't think it was about "wokeness." variety.com/2026/awards/...

this was a pretty good bit but the comments fighting over some of the pronunciations is also funny youtu.be/FhC76xAq7oE?...

In conclusion (TL;DR):

There is no virus that “only” causes serious harm in people who are high-risk. And even if there were, it would still be important to protect yourself and others. Please take steps to prevent getting and spreading illness in order to protect your own health and the health of others.
