The delicate bites. The chomps. The focus. 💜

Don't let ICE and this administration lie to you. I saw inside Delaney Hall with my own eyes. The conditions are absolutely unacceptable.

New Yorkers, they get the job done.

Wow, it's an A.I. manifesto as expected, but Pope Leo XIV also presented a remarkable apology for the Holy See's part in legitimizing slavery. Wow, again.

Kyiv this morning. 3/3

Elegant.

The bike chain on oldest's bike broke on the way home from school. He thought he was going to have to walk it home when another cyclist pulled up beside him and said, "Grab my shoulder and I'll bike you home." Kiddo was thrilled and honestly I thought that was cool as hell too.

Ooh, how cool is this

I say without hyperbole that this is the most brazenly corrupt action in US Presidential history. That it does not immediately lead to impeachment is a dangerous sign of how far the rule of law has declined.

In just months, Zohran Mamdani has shown what politics looks like when leaders actually try governing for ordinary people instead of donors and cable news panels. Affordable housing, childcare, transit, workers’ dignity and immigrant protection are not “radical” ideas.

Good morning and happy Monday to you all 😊☀️🐝

Goosebumps. Rep. Sean Casten of Illinois said he came to Montgomery because he was “pissed off.” “I’m pissed off because I am sad that we are having to be in this play again we thought was over that we didn’t have to watch anymore.”

Please share this far and wide. It’s definitely worth your time to watch all the way to the end when he talks about trust. :)

Could not agree more with Robert Arnold here. Right on the money. 👍👍 www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLT7... (10 min)

There's a major civil rights protest taking place in Selma, Alabama, right now in response to the SCOTUS decision that weakened the Voting Rights Act and the ongoing attack on Black Americans’ political power (video: defiancedispatch/IG)

Wow.

The enigmatic Vivian Maier is one of my favorite rabbit warrens to explore! Her story seems endless, and her black and white and color views of it are outstanding. 📸🖼️ www.vivianmaier.com

How to spend 4.5 months like a boss! 🗽

@repstansbury.bsky.social: "The system was designed to protect the wealthy; it didn’t fail. It was rigged from the beginning when those mansions were built. The system was built on inequality and built on exploiting people. It is written into the landscape here in Palm Beach and in New Mexico."

The testimony from these survivors is so powerful and emotional. Stunningly raw. The continued traumatization of these victims is unforgivable.

Important. Happening now. www.youtube.com/watch?v=80lW...

This is absolutely outrageous. SCOTUS reinstated Texas gerrymander 15 weeks before primary because they claimed it was too close to election to block it but now allowing Alabama to gerrymander one week before primary after trial court found map was intentionally discriminatory against Black voters

I wish I didn’t know as much about the end of Reconstruction as I do. If you understood what is being unleashed now, how it will touch every aspect of our civic life, and how difficult it will be to undo it, you wouldn’t be able to think about anything else.

Happy mothers day dear Blueskies! 💙

Spiralling global temperatures (1850-2026) It is exactly 10 years since I first put this animated graphic of changes in global temperature online. #ClimateSpiral It instantly went viral. People watched it over and over again. It still offers the power to shock a decade on.

This dog was a three term mayor of Whoville.

Katie Phang and Epstein survivor Danielle Bensky visit a new exhibition space in Tribeca where the Epstein files are bound in 3,237 physical volumes. “To see the person who scheduled me, who is still not behind bars—her name is here.”

We’re deeply grateful to all of the Tennessee Indivisibles and everyone else across the state who showed up in defense of democracy. We the People — especially Black and Brown Americans — have opposed tyranny in the past. The road may be longer than we hoped, but we will win. Again.

Oh yes ☺️

Justice Elena Kagan forcefully dissented. “I dissent because the Court betrays its duty to faithfully implement the great statute Congress wrote,” she wrote. “I dissent because the Court’s decision will set back the foundational right Congress granted of racial equality in electoral opportunity.”

Greetings from Kyiv. We have windy and cold weather again. Today, looking at these flowers, I thought how much they remind me of us. Ukrainians stand through all the winds of life.

An encouraging word...👏👏👏 www.youtube.com/watch?v=dKHV...

Truth spoken by Mamdani lowers my blood pressure. Funny how that works. 🗽 www.youtube.com/shorts/eOc0q...

This just ticked in from Svalbard...!!! "Just minding my own business and the water is boiling with belugas... Look how many babies there are! I haven't seen that many baby belugas, ever, combined, in my life." 🐋

I just signed a bill to rename Minnesota’s community solar program after Speaker Melissa Hortman. Melissa was a true champion of solar and I was proud to sign this in honor of my dear friend.

Yes, libraries are invaluable for their collections and services they offer, but also social contact without the expectation to interact with anyone or spend money is so important to so many people

For all those still feeling the moon joy—Artemis II was brought to you by public schools and publicly funded science. Copy that! 👩‍🚀🚀💕 *All four astronauts went to public schools!

Hungary's brave choice last night is great for Europe, good for Ukraine, bad for Russia, bad for Trumpism, and bad for the far-right over the entire globe—all of which, to me, is a victory for the forces of good and democracy in the world: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/the-joy-of...
