Josh Siegel, the new Lehigh County Executive, is kicking ICE out of its Allentown office. “[Their] failure to pay rent, combined with DHS’s national reputation for recklessness, chaos, and public disorder, warrants ending any relationship with the County. We will not accept their blood money.”

In one hour, y'all bought 1,680 hand warmers, 1,500 toe warmers, & 2,120 hand & body warmers to send up to the twin cities. Thank you. 💓

TONIGHT: @sherrodbrownoh.bsky.social joins @lawrenceodonnell.bsky.social on The #LastWord at 10pm ET.

California will offer free entry to state parks on Martin Luther King Jr. Day

i have been reading Tom Ricks’ “Fighting the Good War” which is a military analysis of the civil rights movement, and one thing that comes abundantly across is that movement leaders and ordinary people made it a practice to refuse to fall into despair and cynicism.

Baffling response. Publishers will take a huge hit.

This 100% though I’d expand it to include any book.

I don't think most Americans know this: "[Denmark] lost more soldiers per capita than the U.S. did in Afghanistan". (in fact, the most of any). Why? Because, Denmark as a loyal ally, came to the aid of the U.S. Now, the U.S. wants to invade Danish territory. www.theatlantic.com/national-sec...

For people elsewhere who have asked how to support Minnesota while we’re overrun with nazi thugs, here’s an excellent list of places that could use financial help. Lots of choices. Thank you so much! docs.google.com/document/d/1...

The answer: yes, if we all get on board. Please give here to help make it happen: secure.actblue.com/donate/loc_a...

We organized 100+ members to get HHS’ attention, raised it directly with RFK Jr., had a call with his leadership team, and continued to follow up.  That’s what members of Congress should do – go hard for the people you represent. We never took our foot off the gas.

saw an ad where a guy only had an hour to looking an art gallery so he asks AI to plan his tour. when there's gallery attendants standing right next to him. it's been about 20 years since I saw a gallery without mapped out routes and headphone tours, never mind simply asking people who work there

hey siri when do pitchers and catchers report?

Common Sense, published 250 years ago today.

At least eight states have deeply concerning anti-library, anti-literature bills on the docket for their legislative sessions so far. Here's what they are and what you can and should do at this point about them–whether or not you live in these states. *WE* save us. buttondown.com/wellsourced/...

Worth noting: Everyone is furious. Everyone is heartbroken. But when a guy tried to turn "Fuck ICE!" into "Kill ICE!" all of us around him shut it down IMMEDIATELY.

This is literally saving lives - and we can save even more with your help. Share and bookmark this post for when you next see a Londoner sleeping rough. We'll do everything in our power to get them into the warm.

The sun has now risen on the 1379th day and Kyiv stands free!!! #SlavaUkraini @mikemadrid.bsky.social @andreachalupa.bsky.social

FOLKS NEED TO REALIZE HOW HUGE THIS IS For the first time in modern Texas history, Dems have candidates running in every state and federal race on the 2026 ballot. That includes all congressional seats, every state House and state Senate race, plus statewide judicial and State Board of Education.

We acknowledge that no one has the bandwidth for this, but if it helps: - It’s ‘voilà,’ not ‘wallah!’ - It’s ‘a lot,’ not ‘alot.’ - It’s ‘further ado,’ not ‘farther adieu.’ - It’s ‘flesh out,’ not ‘flush out.’ - It’s ‘sneak peek,’ not ‘sneak peak.’ No worries if not!!!

Never forget.

See what I mean?

Now this is a sad one.

Green building McClusky, ND

He's also responsible for raising all the money that paid for bringing Hollingsworth v. Perry & even more importantly Bostic v. Schaefer, which created the circuit split that forced SCOTUS to take on Obergefell v. Hodges. The role he played in American marriage equality cannot be overstated.

The Minnesota Democrat, an outspoken critic of the Trump administration's immigration operations around Minneapolis, said her son was let go after showing his U.S. passport.

“Muslims and Jews are not enemies. Our futures, in the Middle East and beyond, are intrinsically bound.” Yes. YES.

We library folk do a good job talking about all the free services we offer, but I don’t see many of us talking about how libraries are one or the only places where you can use services without being advertised to.

This is your seasonal reminder that Bookshop.org and libro.fm exist as local-supporting not-Amazon options for all your physical and audiobook needs! Bookshop even gives you the option to add a card and a pretty fabric bag and ship it directly to your giftee!

I'm an award winning investigative researcher as well. If there's any law firms that need someone, I'm very available. I can also do your marketing, headshots, and cheating husband photos as well. Just give me a little extra time to investigate fascists.

I have some good news from DC: Last night, we passed the Secure Rural Schools Reauthorization Act! The funds from this are a lifeline to keep schools open, teachers supported, and basic public services running.

ProPublica is hiring and we have a slew of great job opportunities: * Copy editor * Texas reporter * Senior editor, Business * Senior editor, LRN * YouTube senior producer * YouTube producer (two-year) job-boards.greenhouse.io/propublica

I think everybody at NPR is glad our Susan Stamberg left us an advance obit for Frank Gehry. A legend on a legend.

Hi Bluesky, Giving Tuesday is almost here, and I’m asking y'all for extra support tomorrow. As most of you know, Prison Journalism Project trains and publishes the work of incarcerated writers so their stories can be heard. We are aiming to raise $50,000 before the end of the year

@adamstemple.bsky.social I ask because if you are, then we have the same great-great-great grandmother.

@adamstemple.bsky.social Are you Jane’s son?

Great news for all who care about telling the truth & the full story of American history. The Mississippi Delta barn where Emmett Till died is now owned by the Emmett Till Interpretive Center thanks to a major donation from Shonda Rhimes. It will open as a memorial by 2039.

95% of authors are not making a living through book publishing. The public needs to understand this.

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered. He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here : www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/glo...

I'll be donating to help free Operation Midway Blitz detainees, and I hope some of you can join me. We tried like hell to prevent as many detentions as we could in Chicago. This is another opportunity to help our neighbors remain in our communities where they belong.

Looking forward to the day when good things will be “distracting” us from other good things

Really? It’s come to this? Unfollowing.

if i did an online class on how to do podcasting as a journalist, would that be something people would pay for?
