While the world’s eyes are on fashion’s biggest night, we’re turning ours to the garment, retail, and warehouse workers who keep the industry running. From true love found on the picket line to a free tailoring school out of a Brooklyn basement — meet the New Yorkers who make it all possible.

It gets worse: Not only has the turnout gap grown. It was pushed up in most places once covered by Section 5 BY SHELBY. Alito, presumably, knows this. It was published in a top poli sci journal and blasted from here to kingdom-come by BCJ (open access: www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/... )

One of the most clarifying passages I've ever read on what "polarization" actually means in the U.S."

Families here REALLY need the kindness of those in other communities to come through as much as we can in order to weather some of what we've been through here.

Mamdani’s over here trying to push his approval rating over 100%

Because some comments make me think people missed the PSAs I do semi-regularly: if you were born before 1987, you should get a MMR booster now. The second childhood dose of MMR wasn't added until 1989, and folks who were older than 2 (the age for the 2nd) may not have gotten it.

Just paid €10.89 customs duty on my free New Yorker tote bag. We must end this trade war and normalize US-EU relations

welp, for about 48 hours I was seriously considering an iPhone but uh

Today is day 130 of the ICE occupation of MN. We stand in solidarity with communities across the country experiencing their own version of ICE occupations. And if it hasn’t happened yet where you live, now is the time to prepare.

It’s really important for anyone trying to understand the political moment we are in to see that it’s a bunch of good old boy rapists more willing to end democracy and start a third world war than they are to live in a society without ossified rape culture

It has come to my attention that there are approximately as many rats as people. It is logical to think of yourself as having, somewhere in the world, a specific, personal rat.

i got a 911 text from an eviction-defense attorney today who had a client who needed nearly $5,000 to prevent her eviction i was all ready to barn-raise for it. but then—what’s that? the community-run rent fund in her area had the resources to cover it! need met! done! another world is possible.

The Moon: oh wow you guys decided to come back Artemis II crew: earth’s haunted

I think it's bad for the President to threaten to annihilate an entire culture and i do not think you are being alarmist if you take his threats seriously and literally.

We’re on strike today! Support our fight for a fair contract by NOT visiting the @propublica.org website or engaging with ProPublica stories today. Tell ProPublica’s management you won’t cross the picket line: actionnetwork.org/petitions/te...

1/ After 28 months of bargaining our first contract, @propublica.org management continues to take unacceptable positions on the issue of artificial intelligence.

my entire timeline on x is now just iranian embassies demonstrating a facility with the english language that puts everything i've ever read from the trump administration to shame

Remember all this nonsense about the supposed inferiority of “third world” immigration? They really believed that and applied their theory to international relations and it failed. Racism makes you stupid.

NEW: Trump revels in threats to commit war crimes by destroying Iran's civilian infrastructure and sending it back to the "Stone Ages." He and his aides scorn laws on using force — obvious from strikes on civilian boats to Hegseth's talk of "no quarter." Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2026/04/05/u...

now THAT’S how a major publication should write a lede www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.

When Trump posts a deranged, insulting rant that threatens war crimes, it's treated as a fresh approach from a bold leader. When AOC gave an off-the-cuff answer consistent with decades of sensitive US–Taiwan–China relations, they transcribed ordinary verbal breaks to suggest ignorance and waffling.

It would be much easier for them if Democrats were on camera saying things like, "If you are ordered to commit a war crime and refuse, we have your back. Once we retake power, whatever it costs you, we'll fix it."

Again, it is important to understand that the rule of law returning to the United States would necessarily involve that "White House official" dying in prison, and they know it, so they simply will not be giving up power by normal processes.

"The President can do anything he wants to unless 2/3rds of the Senate agrees to convict the President" is not how the Constitution was set up or how any sane system of governance works. That describes a de facto status quo maybe but that status quo is clearly unacceptable bsky.app/profile/scra...

Nestle has the greatest VAR for evil companies in the world, I think. there are more evil companies, but they really do not *have* to be this evil. They kill babies for love of the game

The US AID destruction is one of the sickest things anyone has ever done in human history. No one got anything out of it besides the gleeful thrill of mass black death. It’s truly bone chilling to even contemplate what this really was.

Does anybody have a link to this starter pack

The courts rulings against Trump don’t solve the larger problems immediately. It is up to the citizens not only to vote but to restore and rebuild America’s damaged institutions for its long-term future, says @sulliview.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

This is the reason Peter Thiel and his buddies killed Gawker. Writing about open secrets was the entire point of the website.

Idk but when your whole presidency is sic burns on socials And you're getting out-shitposted by the Islamic Republic of Iran You really gotta ask your self some hard questions

It’s day 123 of the ICE occupation of MN. Minnesota is out of the headlines, but ICE continues to abduct our neighbors- their tactics have just changed.

Pope Leo XIV carried the cross across all fourteen stations for over an hour. The prayers named children who had been “taken away and imprisoned during protests, deported by policies devoid of compassion, shipwrecked on desperate journeys of hope, killed in war zones, and wiped out in death camps.”

Amidst everything else, the Trump regime has quietly killed off the U.S. Forest Service 🌲 “One hundred and ninety-three million acres of your national forests… just handed, on a silver platter, to the people who’ve spent their entire careers trying to destroy it.” www.hatchmag.com/articles/tru...

Look, dude, "double tap" is one of those things where there's no nuance to it. Everyone from the guy who pulled the trigger to the very top of the command structure knows exactly what they deserve for doing it and a society that doesn't give it to them is irredeemable.

Poll after poll indicates that people strongly want privacy protections from government. DOGE and other things done by the government with personal data in the last year have been the worst privacy offenses by the gov't in history. There must be an enormous reckoning.

All but three (!) of the 1,651 refugees admitted into the United States in the three most recent months we have data are white South Africans. For comparison, in 2024, the U.S. admitted 100,060 refugees. It's an explicit white supremacist project. www.rpc.state.gov/documents/Re...

Pretty sure that I am the only person on bluesky who read Pete Hegseth's "The War on Warriors" (2024), a book in which the author proudly proclaims that the US military should belong to "normal dudes," a phrase he helpfully clarifies to mean "straight white dudes"

With Todd Blanche taking over the Justice Department. There will and should be a sharp focus on his gross mishandling/coverup of the Epstein files and Ghislaine Maxwell. Also do a search for "Deputy Attorney General" to see parts of the broader pattern of misconduct.
