If you live in the Cities, an easy way to help immigrant families in hiding is: laundry! Laundromats are ICE magnets, so people without washers need help. The People’s Laundry will drop off laundry to your door to wash and dry and pick up a few days later: thepeopleslaundrympls.com/volunteer/

Today, my job was to be the person who swept up the onion peel as neighbors prepared food for hundreds of families who can’t leave their homes. It felt very small, but it was something—and it was a reminder that there are many different roles to play as we fight for our democracy.

Best response to a piece of science reporting I’ve seen in a while

New: We built an interactive map of every ICE contractor working with the Trump administration. readsludge.com/2026/01/16/t...

been thinking a lot about James Baldwin recently - from a 1970 documentary

The Mayor and Police Chief will be holding a press conference at 10:15 p.m. tonight. A livestream is available at www.youtube.com/live/IyGSmBy...

He needlepointed this himself. It's a needlepoint pillow of the actor Ernest Thesiger needlepoint. It took forever and is awesome.

I’m seeing lots of people on here misunderstand the purpose of ICE watch. It’s de-escalation. And it’s grounded in the social science of violence. 🧵

you know what's beautiful, and it can be easy to forget, but the people. the people are beautiful.

greatest steam update of all time, because of one unnecessary detail

A faith-based community that truly follows both the teachings of Jesus *and* accurate science on COVID! 🤯 This is a must-read. “We insist on trying to protect each other frm unnecessary suffering & death in the face of the threat posed by a novel virus whose long-term effects are still unknowable…”

And not a single package has “squeeze to open” on it

This is stunning. Listen to this in Philadelphia. Thousands singing “Hey-Oh, we won’t be silent while our friends are gunned down.” Really listen to it.

I just signed a petition demanding the Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry Ban X/Twitter in Canada. Join me in signing here: you.leadnow.ca/petitions/ba... you.leadnow.ca/petitions/ba...

At last night’s candlelight vigil for Renee Nicole Good, Bishop Rob Hirschfeld of the Episcopal Diocese of New Hampshire announced he had asked the clergy of the diocese to get their affairs in order and to make sure they have their wills written ...,

I will read every interview with Heated Rivalry writer and director Jacob Tierney because his quotes are truly a reporter's dream: www.rollingstone.com/music/music-...

Hi! Have you eaten something today? Taken your meds? Had a big glass of water? Planned something fun offline this weekend? Naps still count. I know things are really stressful right now and it's hard to focus. Remember to breathe. Try and lower your shoulders. One thing at a time.

I teach bystander intervention for a living and have taught de-escalation to law enforcement. Trust me when I say that bottle girls, gas station clerks, strippers, front desk employees at hotels and airports, baristas, etc. have better de-escalation skills than any cop I've ever seen.

stop what you're doing and let Amber Glenn take you to church #USPrevagenChamps #figureskating

Every second the murderer is not arrested is another second for feds to hide him in a place that would create a jurisdictional fight. He's on video killing a person. You have to arrest this guy an hour ago, but you might still have time now.

Steve Miller is literally arguing that might makes right, that the US may take whatever it wants because it can take whatever it wants. He claims it's the "iron law" of civilization, but it's the antithesis of civilization. No rational American would want to live in such a world.

Here's the adult vaccination recommendations as of Nov 2024. Why did I save these? Because I knew someone was going to try to stomp on this, and not today, Satan. Not today. #CDC #vax #vaccines #getvaxxed

This is extraordinary.

Mass transit, pedestrian focused communities, and bicycles...

This is live data and the Sudan one in particular is rapidly growing I’m so tired of all of this. These flowers are going to be a key measure of 2026 for me

My brother’s sitting with a friend at a window table in a pub in Oxford. Friend says “Was that Brian Blessed in the street?” And then, right by the window: “YES IT’S ME, BRIAN BLESSED! BWAH HA HA HA!”. And then RAN away.

Get their ass. And awesome read-thanks for posting

And please, PLEASE let us not forget that time in 2023 when Karen Smith was elected President of the school board in Bucks County, Pa and swore her oath on a stack of banned books. The most gangsta oath ever! Just brilliant. www.edweek.org/leadership/t...

New York City has a new mayor

This is one of my favorite paintings, from any painter, ever. Not only is she crushing Mein Kampf, but the arc of her rivet gun's cable also evokes a serpent being crushed under her heel - even while the rivet gun herself is laid on her apron like Christ on the lap of the Virgin Mary.

Our photographer Alex Kormann captured the exact moment the presses stopped for the last time in Minneapolis, ending a 158 history of locally printed newspapers.

Ontarians who value their free healthcare, read this 🧵 and get ready to protect it! ✊ @onthealthcoalition.bsky.social is planning province wide protests to demand the Ford govt restore public funding to our public hospitals and stop their privatization scheme. #ONpoli First, SIGN their petition:

“By reading this plaque, you have made a valuable addition to the number of people who have read this plaque” … an important heritage moment on the streets of Toronto (by artist Sarah Lazarovic).

Carved from stone around 900 years ago, the tenderness and delicacy are astounding. Dream of the Magi Cathedral of Saint-Lazare, Autun, France by the French master Gislebertus. Happy Christmas.

Hi, Philly-area folks! Just a reminder that our foster Catalina (PAWS) is *still* looking for a home. If you know anyone who wants a single cat and doesn't mind a slightly older lady...please let them know about Catalina! She is a lovely WFH companion. new.shelterluv.com/embed/animal...

bari weiss is in hot water, fielding accusations of both malice and incompetence, but it’s not too late for her to clear this whole thing up by sitting down for an honest, straightforward interview with isaac chotiner.

Robert Frost's manuscript for "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" for this, the darkest evening of the year.

crazy coincidence here but the guy that runs the b&b shes staying at is in line to inherit the very hot cocoa factory im set to purchase. crazy right? apparently hes also the towns firefighter and runs their puppy rescue. sounds like a total beta

The women in this 1964 photo of Beatles fans (yes, that's what they used) could not get a credit card at Bank of America without their husband or father cosigning. So, no. The answer, CBS and Bank of America, is no.

This review from @lizcookkc.bsky.social of Pat Mahomes and Travis Kelce’s weird, over-priced restaurant is maybe one of funniest I’ve ever read. defector.com/two-nights-p...

We absolutely can do things differently. It's not always about a lack of resources, but how we choose to allocate them. "What happens when a city takes women’s unpaid work seriously? Bogotá’s radical experiment in caregiving is going global." www.vox.com/policy/46963...
