Swearing in newly elected AZ representative Adelina Grijalva should be a precondition for keeping the government open @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social www.azcentral.com/story/news/p...

Yes. More of this pls!

Not only does speaking to polls rather than people make Dems seem completely divorced from the stakes of the moment it also reveals how utterly devoid of conviction they are. At a time like this we need leaders who are willing to get mad, stand up to the bully, and refuse to move.

The human species’ great success on this planet is not because of a few uniquely intelligent heroes. It is our innate sociality: our ability to create a collective cultural brain that has empowered us to live in nearly every environment on this planet. Extreme individualism is our kryptonite

A central project of modern capitalism has been to convince us that we are isolated, alone, that our thriving is totally up to us and in tension with the success and security of everyone else. Rebuilding relationships is one of the most important kinds of resistance we can mount (1/n)

I don’t know how @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and @schumer.senate.gov keep LARPing earnest bipartisanship when shit like this is happening. At this point it’s not just complicity it’s collusion.

This strikes me as a big deal.. it means they’re starting to realize they can’t get away with what they thought they could in broad daylight. From a regime that never apologizes, never admits wrongdoing Which means our filming and amplifying and steadfast unwillingness to accept this is working.

Wounded Knee was a massacre of women and children. That's what these people celebrate. apnews.com/article/woun...

Speaking of voices under attack…can we be just as loud about Black journalists and comedians who are silenced, even by our so-called liberal outlets. • Joy Reid • Don Lemon • Melissa Harris-Perry • Tiffany Cross • Jemele Hill • Marc Lamont Hill • Karen Attiah • Amber Ruffin

What is happening that made Google Chrome the top read entry in Wikipedia today??

Here's some much needed good news! @nature.org will be acquiring four dams on the Kennebec to facilitate their removal and reconnection of the river system for salmon #goodnews themainemonitor.org/dams-sale-sa...

When I learned data viz in grad school my prof used to say if every box is connected to every other box the distinctions between them is irrelevant

What did I miss why is everyone on about the rapture?

This right here.

I saw an AT&T box truck yesterday and all sides of it were screens from top to bottom showing animated ads. Last year I saw bathroom signs at an airport that were screens. Jevons was right

Exactly 12 years after the release of the first and only full-length AWKWORD album… On February 17, 2026, ‘An awkword shadow’ — the EP from awkword and The White Shadow — hits all streaming platforms (+ Bandcamp)!

I don’t know about you but I always get fired up by leaders who … checks notes … downplay people’s rights and safety.

Robert I hope you’re out there somewhere laughing and riding horses with Paul. 🩷🩷

Wow Robert Redford. I can’t even. Thanks for everything you fine gentleman.

Good 🧵

The thing about science fiction is that good science fiction problmetizes technology, bad science fiction just thinks up cool gadgets and present them all as neutral/innocuous. Its clear these dork's are playing from the second stack of books (or, I suppose, that they simply didn't grasp the first)

Make a band singular: Alanis Morrissingle

The central myth of the MAGA world view is one of oppression. That white evangelical middle class folks are being oppressed—by liberals, atheists, socialists, crt, wokeness, globalization, climate conspiracy, name your villain It’s been the central message on repeat for decades It is deeply seeded

This is a great idea! 🧪 laist.com/news/educati...

Conflating politeness and civility. This may inspire my next “Fallacy Friday”

Et tu Berkeley?

Somehow seeing the right turn away from lionizing Charlie Kirk now that they can't weaponize his death makes the end of his story a touch more tragic.

Olivia Matthews, an award-winning playwright whose work appeared across the country, was killed in a fire someone intentionally set, authorities said

The mistake people like Klein and Newsome make when they frame Kirk as doing good faith politics comes from their privilege. To them, the racism and homophobia is just a bad take, not a personal threat to their existence.

Lofi Girl is helping today

If you have a chance, smile at someone you don’t know today

Gotta admit it: this line from @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social's op-ed about Kirk has me thinking: "a move on the left to wrap Kirk’s death around his views". I think its happening the other way. People are wrapping his views around his death.

“We need to tone down the rhetoric on both sides”

The center exists only to accomodate the right while chastizing the left, and tonight's performance by their top minds in light of the Kirk assassination is all the evidence we need of this.

It’s fine to say that violence is never the answer, but I can’t help but observe that for Charlie Kirk violence was always the answer, and it was the only answer he offered, and, because of the privilege that he refused to admit he had, he could enact it from a comfortable and respectable place.

Faux news is already spinning an entirely fact free narrative about this being another volley in the left's attempt to destroy America. I'm honestly at a loss about how we counter this.

Political violence disproportionately hurts people with less power, not people with more power. Political violence will disproportionately hurt people of color and women and LGBTQ people. It’s not fair, but that’s the way it works. Celebrating political violence means at best indifference to that.

I'm horrified by the shooting of Charlie Kirk at a college event in Utah. Political violence has no place in our country.

Gun control now.

Just gonna put out there for the record that assassinating people is bad no matter how much you disagree with them

I don't want anyone to get shot.

Kennedy fancies himself this generation’s Rachel Carson, but he is so turned around by his own reliance on pseudoscience and eugenics that he has become entirely lost in the maze of fallacies and contradictions.

Also: simple body cameras are as cheap as $25-$30. In addition to carrying proof of citizenship. I think people should start wearing these whenever they're in communities where ICE is active. If not for you, for someone else. And come voting time, if you're voting in person, definitely put one on

This stuff is like Old Republic Credits in my home

It is on every single one of us with the privilege of meeting these vile racists' idea of what looks like an American to stand up for and in front of anyone we see being profiled. The courts don't get to decide basic decency for us.

Is this Blueskyism? @jcsalterego.bsky.social

The most consistent failing of democrats is accepting and adopting the right’s framing of issues. Like with the USPS: why ever should a government service have to be profitable? It’s nonsense capitalism brain rot. The whole point of social contract is giving for the collective good

Who controls the food in the West? This new deep dive by @highcountrynews.org is fantastic data visualization! And something about seeing it all in the print version is even more impressive I think than the online one. www.hcn.org/issues/57-9/...
