Am I still wearing my birthday girl crown days after my birthday? Yes. Because I do what I want.

Okay what is with the flood of TikToks claiming people’s passports were canceled? This is not my beat at all but I’d be interested to know if anyone’s looking into it.

After a 2018 wildfire scorched 73,000 hectares of the Santana Indigenous Territory in Brazil’s Cerrado, Bakairi women organized a volunteer fire brigade. Today, women from teens to grandmothers defend their land—successfully preventing major fires for years, even as blazes intensify elsewhere.

If you're afraid, it's better to journal or to talk to a friend than to post online.

Audiences SHOULD care about this! "coverage across these publications has become noticeably less adversarial and less probing ... a shift that matters when the same company later finds itself owning the very institution those outlets are meant to scrutinize." ‼️

"it’s kind of crazy that we have to keep going over this, but the corruption remains so glaring" I appreciate that, while nearly all the Hollywood trades are owned by the company putting on the Golden Globes and therefore just doing PR for this award show, The Ankler is NOT Some key points 🧵

Eleven American Samoans in Alaska face serious prison time for voting in the only country they’ve ever known. Theirs is a wild story of colonialism, cops, “voter fraud” panic, small-town beef, and family. I spent months on this + am so glad to now be able to share it: boltsmag.org/prosecuted-f...

For five episodes, I mostly thought Netflix's "His & Hers" was a disappointingly generic waste of its stars. The sixth episode, resolving the season's mystery, was REALLY dumb. My review:

Sitting here you would have no idea that the USA is in the midst of fascist oppression or that yesterday may have been an inflection point akin to Kent State or the killings of Chaney, Goodman & Schwerner.

Like the only vaguely political thing I heard while answering emails was a concern that Zohran might mess up (read allow more PoC to attend) the local public schools with his planned reforms.

Working in a Park Slope Coffee Shop while all of this is going on is a trip. I'm eavesdropping on folk whose sole concern is their children's grades. Wild.

Tessa Thompson and Jon Bernthal doing murder-mystery Mr. & Mrs. Smith is another one of those streaming shows that sound great on paper, but then you find out no one bothered to do any quality control. A real missed opportunity.

Greg and I were pretty close while at Morehouse. One of the sweetest people I’ve ever met. He truly doesn’t deserve this treatment. Please support if you are able to.

The resident dean who was fired was given only ten days to vacate his housing. @harvard.edu is putting a Black family — with a newborn baby — out on the street because of comments opposing white supremacy. Please donate to their gofundme: www.gofundme.com/f/support-fo...

I hate AI real bad.

“A social media and phone surveillance system ICE bought access to is designed to monitor a city neighborhood or block for mobile phones, track the movements of those devices and their owners over time, and follow them from their places of work to home or other locations…”

Good morning. I'd like to invite anyone who is interested to make a small gesture of kindness today. It's up to you to decide what that can be. The key is for you to act on the idea. With so much out of our control, we can choose how to be with each other today and every day.

looking for recommendations for the best rom-coms from before the 70s -- have already watched a lot of the ones everyone recommends, so looking for others!

I prefer sunrises.

I just left the Venezuela briefing. It's worse than you thought. Oil company executives seem to know more about Trump's secret plan to "run" Venezuela than the American people. We need public Senate hearings NOW.

Hey @erinbiba.bsky.social I have been saving this absolutely incredible BART fan edit for a dark night of the soul and this feels like the moment. (Flash warning, also warning you that watching this will make you cool and powerful and determined to fight BART’s looming defunding.)

These are vile times

No one should have to live like this. And, most certainly, no one should die like that.

Tonight, I was one of more than 200 people who gathered on Chicago’s North Side to mourn Renee Nicole Good. Several people asked me to publish my remarks from the vigil, so I’m sharing them here.

Years ago, an organizing crew I was part of worked to help an unhoused woman in our neighborhood get services. She was dying and qualified for a number of programs. It took a team of seven working for almost two months to secure her a warm bed to die in. Her name was Jennifer.

If you mess up something on one of the endless forms and need to talk to an actual human to rectify it before the office closes at 4pm, GOOD FUCKIN LUCK BUDDY

the demons who scream about poor people “abusing” benefits should have to complete the entire process at least once before they start honking about how “easy” it is to scam, like the Byzantines could never

I know this isn’t new information but I just really gotta emphasize how goddamn difficult it is to successfully sign up for SNAP or Medicaid, even if you’re Good At Paperwork

Bitch, I am exhausted

Once again it's women and trans people on the front lines.

A local rapid response group I work with is desperately trying to raise $5K tonight to get immediate legal representation for a group member who is facing deportation. It is crucial that these funds be raised by tomorrow. These are organizers I trust. Venmo for donations: @geebees5818

The woman killed by ICE today was a poet. She won the 2020 Academy of American Poets, University & College Poetry Prize at Old Dominion University. (And this is Renee from confirmed socials- a photo of a different woman with red lipstick is going around, but that was a classmate.) /

School has been cancelled tomorrow and Friday across the city of Minneapolis, because our federal government has made it unsafe for children here.

Just a few seconds of waves from tonight’s amble.

Man, a lot of people are responding to this thread in a few stupid ways: * “Everybody knows that!” No they don’t! Or they don’t think about it * “I’m not gonna censor myself!” Okay? Great? I don’t give a shit; go phone the FBI directly * You’re trying to scare people!” No? Information is not scary.

Every person on Bluesky should know: * Every post on Bluesky is PUBLIC forever * Every post on Bluesky is archived by ICE, NSA, and many other agencies * Even if you delete a post, it’s already been captured * Judges don’t care if you were “kidding” or being ironic www.404media.co/the-200-site...

Anecdotal, but I'm definitely noticing an uptick in advocacy for violence here. About which I'll say only this: Promoting violence on social media is the work of trolls and fools, those eager to bait others into implicating themselves in the age of surveillance or fools rushing to the gulag.

So I have only just discovered at some vague point in the next couple weeks Google is going to break the way my work email works, and the company has done nothing to alert people to it. www.theregister.com/2026/01/05/g...

Dear sweet merciful Jesus make it stop please no more

I'm logging off because I CANNOT deal with the "training" thing. I just can't. No one learns anything. Take care of yourselves, everyone.

Maybe local media will be better but we do not have the national mainstream media needed for the current moment we are in.

It is a threat to all life, liberty, and a free society that our law enforcement is full of so many people who eager to pull a trigger.

May her memory be for a blessing. May she rest in power.

One of my favorite America's Test Kitchen chefs, Elle Simone, has died. 💔🕊️💐 www.instagram.com/p/DTNg_mfDoW...

I'm truly sorry to hear about this ICE killing. I want to remind people about what they did to Marimar Martinez in Chicago. She fortunately survived being shot multiple times. news.wttw.com/2025/11/20/f.... -
