I want someone to run on the platform that they won’t deport anyone and also will give us an actual functional train system all over this country.

I really want ppl w/o Minneapolis connections to understand You might've heard that Mpls public schools went hybrid bc so many families are in hiding. Well, a coworker just told me that today, during his kid's hybrid class, a kid's apt building was raided onscreen *Everyone has stories like this*

I got two children and myself to the dentist(s) today, and it’s times like these that I feel I am actually grown. I am responsible for so much dental hygiene!

The past two days that I’ve come to campus, there have been supporters and workers outside Starbucks picketing for unionization, most appearing to be under the age of 40. And it is COLD right now. Two different locations. I’m just really proud of these young folks. Power to the people, forever. ✊

I recently got back on threads because there are a couple of people on there that don’t seem to post in the same amount anywhere else that I wanted to follow. But…I feel like half of the posts I see on that platform are repeats of other posts in a way that feels like AI. Anybody else feel this?

BREAKING: In AAUP et al v. Trump (wall-to-wall union lawsuit challenging the administration’s unlawful use of TItle VI to reshape the University of California system), the faculty and staff of the UC system WON!!! We were granted our preliminary injunction! @aaup.org

I will not support a deal that does nothing to make health care more affordable. We are in a health care emergency. A simple one-year extension of these tax credits would cost less than Donald Trump’s $40 billion bailout for Argentina. A vote for this bill is a mistake.

Assata taught me that “Only a fool lets somebody else tell him who his enemy is.” May her spirit fly free!🤲🏾

"In the name of 'fighting antisemitism', the Trump administration is publicly making an example out of arguably the most famous Jewish public intellectual in the country today."

The casual way he mentioned this in today’s press conference is WILD. I don’t even think I have words.

The point is cruelty. There is no other explanation.

Something's up (down?) at #UNC. The Bd of Trustees, which has authority over tenure decisions, tabled all at its March mtg & re-tabled all from the College of Arts & Sciences & the non-health professional schools (Law, Biz, etc) at its next mtg. All w/o explanation. #AcademicSky #academicfreedom

Yr girl is an ASSOCIATE Professor now 💅. Officially tenured!

We are hiring an Acquisitions Librarian at my job. Please share! Feel free to ask me questions about working at OSU. I am on the search committee. Salary range is $70-80k, negotiable.

I saw Dr. Hayden speak the weekend I found out I was pregnant in 2016. Several years later, we hosted a party for her at my library when she was at the university. She was so gracious, basically introducing herself to every person in the room. So angry at her treatment.

According to three members of Congress, Rumeysa Ozturk has been repeatedly denied access to her lawyer, refused asthma medication despite attacks, forced to endure extreme temperatures, and denied religious accommodations. Her ‘crime’? An oped in a school newspaper. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/25/o...

Do not normalize children dying from measles. Measles was previously eliminated in the US, thanks to vaccines. When children die from measles, it means that adults have catastrophically failed to protect them because they have rejected basic science.

Breaking News: A second child has died of measles in West Texas amid an escalating outbreak. It is the second confirmed measles death in a decade in the U.S.

Despite the heaviness of life and fascism right now, I would like everyone to know I bravely walked by our mean resident geese to get into the library this morning, and it lifted my spirits a bit. I did wait for them to walk past the door tho.

We are disappearing people off the street

So in light of yesterday’s major news, I want to note that I saw it break here on Bluesky first, which is one of the reasons I used Twitter in the way back. Glad Bluesky is making headway in that regard. I didn’t see it posted elsewhere for a couple hours. Maybe it was but the algos didn’t show me.

Pro-Life.

Seems…not good.

So on March 9, a French scientist, on a visa to attend a conference in Houston, was denied entry to the US and subsequently expelled because his phone had messages decrying scientific policies put forward by the Trump administration: www.lemonde.fr/internationa...

My dear friend’s niece, who in October developed sepsis when a Georgia hospital refused her a D&C after a miscarriage, will be taken off life support tomorrow. I don’t know the names of the countless others who have suffered and will suffered because of anti-abortion laws. But her name was Haley.

Down with S.B. 1!! Down with censorship! Down with extremist politicians from crooked districts interfering in scholarship and education.

It is wild how quickly the shirts come off in Ohio on frat row when it is above 50 degrees.

SCOOP: Now that Linda McMahon is confirmed/sworn in as secretary, Trump will be imminently issuing an executive order eliminating the Department of Education. I’ve obtained a draft of an email that McMahon will be sending to staff re: the EO and the department’s “final mission”. Here is a portion:

Saw a Crimethinc pamphlet at our local coffee shop today. It’s been a min!

I just got my kid into summer camp for the first time ever, and I feel like someone should be handing over an award??? Like where is it.

The National Archives does so much dammit! Thanks to Dominic Byrd-McDevitt for the reminder of the work that is as stake, including long term government transparency and history www.linkedin.com/pulse/we-sho...

Don’t forget.

>90% of unvaccinated individuals who come into contact with a measles-infected person will contract measles. The recommended 2-dose MMR vaccine is 99% effective in preventing measles infection.

I have like 7 or 8 payments left so I did panic when I saw someone post this. Thanks @violetbfox.bsky.social for the reassurance.

Every user name I try from a Stereolab song has already been taken lmao.

I’ll leave this here just in case people don’t know about this bill lawmakers are attempting to pass in Ohio.

Call call call your senators RIGHT NOW and tell them to oppose RFK for sec of HHS. OH peeps, Moreno’s voicemail is full, but I spoke to a real person in Husted’s office, and she was polite and received my message respectfully. It takes 30 seconds. Please.

This is incredibly troubling (and depressing). I hate this. I hope some GOP senators have an iota of sense and deny his confirmation.

Left a v/m for Senator Andy Kim expressing my frustration that Senate Dems won't take up their available tools: 1️⃣ Oppose all nominees until OMB reverses the freeze 2️⃣ Deny Unanimous Consent to slow Senate proceedings 3️⃣ Vote no on all cloture. 4️⃣ Force Quorum Calls at every opportunity #DidThisToday

Ok what is happening is actually frightening AF (😭😭😭😭😭😭), and I am not usually a fan of ageism but all the jokes about the babies working for Elon are giving me life right now.

I can’t believe libraries are still doing this! Even after Latanya literally DIED because her library wouldn’t let her use her sick days. Please sign this petition, and remember that no job loves you back. Take care of yourselves out there! bit.ly/sickbankpetition

It’s a boringly obvious point but just imagine if Obama had tried any of this. There would have been SWAT teams at the White House door by now.

Where is congress??? Where is the outrage?

look I’m no messaging expert but it seems like the American people might be interested to know that Donald Trump just gave our social security numbers to a teen called BigBalls
