The Shutdown stuff is taking center stage for the upcoming primaries, as it should be (Chuck Schumer is a complete sentence), but we must remind ourselves that there are active concentration camps operating on and off US soil. “Abolish ICE” should be the moderate position. Vote accordingly.

An Italian journalist asked the EU Commission whether or not Israel should pay for the damages done to Gaza's infrastructure like Russia should for Ukraine. That journalist was then fired.

I received this email about Democrats caving to end the shutdown from one of the SNAP recipients I spoke to:

Meta itself estimates that it's involved in 1/3 of all successful scams in the United States lol

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

If you're going to make a post praising an incredible news photo, it's a real bad look when you don't include the photographer credit in the post.

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default. Here's how to turn it off. First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

When you book a flight through major travel sites, a data broker owned by U.S. airlines will sell details about your flight—your name, credit card used, and where you’re flying to the government. We found out how to opt-out of ARC selling your travel data. A guide: www.404media.co/how-to-opt-o...

This needs more attention: Zohran SPLIT the straights with Cuomo. ALL of his margin was from LGBTQ+ voters. Every Dem who ever said “we should abandon the transes” needs this shoved down their fucking throat with a ramrod.

Good things are possible and we don’t have to settle.

Wake up, Dick! I want you to see droves of New Yorkers voting in a Muslim socialist as mayor! Dick?

The President’s Postdoctoral Fellowship Program, PPFP, has been a jewel in the crown for faculty development and recruitment at the University of California for years and the results have been an expanded faculty with almost 100% tenure rates — unprecedented success.

study after study after study shows that literally just handing people money and telling them "do what you want with this" reduces homelessness, increases food security for children, makes it more likely people will find and retain jobs.1

Last night, the National Guard chased children who were out enjoying Halloween in Navy Yard. There is no valid reason for armed soldiers to terrorize children like this. End Trump’s occupation of DC. National Guard out NOW.

Gael Gomez first used a telescope at nine in Venezuela. He's one of the brains behind the Mount Pleasant Sidewalk Astronomers, bringing views of star trails, nebulas, and Saturn's rings to the tight-knit neighborhood. But now, he might have to leave the country, @samdelgado.bsky.social reports:

Happening now: @fedworkersunited.bsky.social and allies are holding a food drive outside @usdagov.bsky.social to make it clear federal leaders should fund food and healthcare, not ballrooms.

You probably won't hear about it on the news, but the climate scientists just straight up called for political revolution 🚨 "The 2025 state of the climate report: a planet on the brink" academic.oup.com/bioscience/a...

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice. This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

As an educator, as a fellow woman in science, I’m fucking horrified that Lia Smith who was just a year from graduation felt her only option was to take her own life. I lay her death at the feet of all the people hounding trans women athletes like her, you fucking monsters

Not a hard question, except for the culture that pretends it's not the answer 1) right-wing media lies incessantly, so anyone truth-based doesn't trust it, and anyone who trusts it doesn't trust anything else 2) other media treats those lies as legitimate, for "fairness," getting trust from no one

Here's a photo of my friend and colleague, Jorge Bautista, getting shot in the face with a flashbang grenade. The ICE Agent is so afraid of Jorge (who was posing no threat) that he has wet himself. Please share this photo. Everyone needs to know what cowards ICE agents are.

This is a DC area food bank that has helped laid off and unpaid government workers. They need help. If you have a few bucks to spare consider this charity. www.capitalareafoodbank.org?utm_referrer...

The dream of every Muslim is simply to be treated the same as any other New Yorker. And yet, for too long, we have been told to ask for less than that, and endure hatred and bigotry in the shadows. No more.

On Sept 17th, 2025, @aaas.org and @researchamerica.bsky.social hosted Jay Bhattacharya—NIH Director—as the keynote for the National Health Research Forum. Less than two weeks later, he spoke at the MAHA Action hour alongside Oz, Russel Brand, Tony Lyons, and Callie Means. I have a call to action:

this is good. none of us are free until all of us are free.

you don't understand. as someone who isn't inherently good at art, stealing paintings from the museum is the *only* way i'm able to express myself creatively. i wouldn't be able to paint beautiful portraits. but by breaking into a museum and stealing the paintings, now i am

I saw a tragically AI-generated version of this poster, so I have recreated a 100% human-made version for all your protest sign needs.

Among George Santos’ many scams was a “pet charity” where he swindled people out of money who needed it for medical care for their pets. This is who Trump just pardoned www.nytimes.com/2023/02/09/n...

This tragic but excellent article needs to be read by everyone throughout the country. The Republicans want to kill public ed. They are using state takeovers and charter school owning charlatans like Mike Miles (and his abusive NES) to do it. See at what they are stealing from our (soon your) kids!🧵

what non-creatives fail to understand is that the skill is core to the final product. the medium is part of the message. what makes a painting, or a film, or a symphony, or any other kind of art interesting is the skill required to make it.

It’s tiresome at this point, but again, their entire pitch is “wouldn’t it be great if there were no such things as talent, craft, and skill,” and what that means is a bland, slop-filled world. www.businessinsider.com/marc-andrees...

u should post however u like respond to whoever u want just remember some people come here desperate for the trolling engagement it is not your duty to provide them with it
