I believe the witnesses. We already know that ICE lies about people trying to ram officers with their vehicles. We’ve seen this before. #JusticeForLorenzo

🚨 HEADS UP: If you haven't submitted a comment on the OMB proposal yet, there's still time - but it's running out! There are only 3 days left to push back against Russell Vought's attempt to give political appointees unprecedented control over federal research funding. Take Action: zurl.co/J92d9

I just looked up my own books in this. "There are multiple scenes depicting explicit sexual acts including nudity, and sexual encounters described or visually illustrated in detail." "frequent use of profanity such as "f--k," "s--t," and other strong curse words." Completely made up nonsense.

I used to have a bumper sticker on my car (it was on so long it literally wore off) that said, “If I had ridden my bike today, this parking spot would be yours.” I think about it every time someone claims bike lanes are gratuitous investments that only serve people in spandex.

Again, this is misleading. DOGE operatives are still here. Today. Doing what they have been doing. They're just now under NDS. bsky.app/profile/poca...

Trump just made cheering for the U.S. soccer team feel like voting for a third party candidate. 👀👀

🚨NEWS: Congressional probe alleges massive fraud in Trump-aligned Freedom 250, alleging Trump allies misled donors, hijacked America’s 250th, and sold access for millions

Reminder: Trump and Republicans cut food assistance for 4 million Americans, including nearly ONE MILLION CHILDREN.

It‘s just insane to me that a sitting president has made MORE THAN A BILLION DOLLARS peddling fucking fairy dust with no intrinsic value beyond his stature and power AS president, and it’s not treated as the biggest corruption scandal in American history.

More evidence for @adamserwer.bsky.social's thesis that the current Supreme Court hates the Reconstruction Amendments and seeks to recreate the antebellum Constitution.

Follow the money.

In case anyone is under the impression that things are getting back to normal here in the U.S., yesterday 🧊 grabbed a fruit seller off the street in broad daylight in my community. This was only one of several kidnappings in the area yesterday. Don’t let the circus distract you from the ongoing harm

SCOTUS just stripped TPS for Haitian & Syrian immigrants and gutted asylum protections. These are lifelines for immigrant families fleeing danger and who've built lives here. Call your Members of Congress to demand a pathway to citizenship: votolatino.org/callyourreps

Jared Kushner proselytized Netanyahu’s claim that Iran was weeks away from building a nuclear weapon—a view dismissed by nuclear experts—and appeared naive as to how the Iranians negotiate. Once he got his way, it resulted in America’s greatest humiliation on the global stage since the Iraq War.

Why does the Freedom to Read Project defend the First Amendment? Because the freedom to read is connected to the freedoms of speech, press, religion, assembly, and petition. We believe people, not politicians or pressure groups, should decide what they read and what ideas they explore.

for iphone users, if you very suddenly regret NOT turning off biometric unlock, press the lock button on the side 5 times in row - this will lock your phone and require the passcode before biometric unlock can be used again, preventing police from using your face to unlock it against your will.

Absolutely…. #BookSky

The Trump administration is cracking down on theft from federal health care and other programs as part of a White House task force led by Vice President JD Vance. But some innocent operations are being harmed along with the nefarious ones.

Ms. Rachel: As the American Academy of Pediatrics says, there is no safe amount of time for a child to be in detention. The Dilley immigration detention center must be shut down. We need to end the cruel policies of family detention and family separation.

“It’s not the government’s place to tell us what we get to read! @maggietokudahall.bsky.social

I don't care who you are—we should ALL be able to agree that detaining babies and kids is WRONG. There's no other way to put it.   ICE is out of control, and every Republican who just voted to cut them ANOTHER blank check is complicit in their inhumane actions.

GW never said this and neither did anybody else. The only official symbolism in the Flag Resolution is the stars are "representing a new constellation." The rest is just an iteration on the Red Ensign, and likely the East India Company's white stripes on it. The colors have no particular meaning.

Trump is quietly trying to gut the US Forest Service and sell off our public lands to corporations. We can’t let him destroy what belongs to all of us. Tell Congress to block this illegal plan today. actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

Rest in peace, Jane Yolen, the most beautiful soul in the literary world. Every success I have in publishing can be traced back to when she became my @weneeddiversebooks.bsky.social mentor in 2017. The #kidlit (and #scifi) world is shattered by her passing. 💔

In 1980, Texas Klan Grand Dragon Louis Beam was running a paramilitary training camp outside of Houston. But they weren't just training klansmen for the race war. They ran a boy scout camp on the weekends. @socialistdogmom.bsky.social @whysophiewhy.bsky.social linktr.ee/weirdlittleg...

I don’t know that most of his most virulent critics will or can ever really understand what this piece is about. I tried to explain some of this a couple weeks back but not nearly as well as this. You don’t have to like him or vote for him but it really is a mistake to assume you know him.

the original “outside agitators” were abolitionists. the concept is rooted in the racist idea that black people aren’t smart enough to want their own freedom, they were just getting tricked into misbehaving by outsiders stirring up trouble.

a good job, good healthcare, and safe housing is as essential to queer wellbeing as it is to anyone else. you cannot support lgbt people without supporting other progressive policies. before we're queer, we are working class and our needs are very much the same as other working class people

If you don’t like what you’re seeing at Delaney Hall, pay attention to what’s happening in Congress this week.   We must stop giving ICE and for-profit companies like GEO Group a blank check to create chaos.

✅ Check that you are registered to vote ✅ Then RECHECK periodically The regime knows the only way they can win is through voter suppression and purging voter rolls, and they are desperately afraid of what we are going to do to them in the midterms 🌊 www.vote411.org/

Amazing

How much exactly, and what trades, did Trump personally gain stealing from Americans by insider trading on his deadly pointless war with Iran?

Today, 70+ organizations sent a letter to Secretary of State Rubio demanding justice and accountability for the murder of U.S. citizen Sayfollah Musallet, who was beaten to death by Israeli settlers while on his land in the West Bank on July 11, 2025, and for other Americans killed by Israel.
