This is what it was like in DC yesterday.

Living in New Hampshire has been a political education for me like no other. Growing up in big urban environments where progressive movements and people of color are plentiful and visible, I made a lot of assumptions about the organizing conditions and outcomes

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️‍🌈💖

Almost a decade ago, I was very Special Interested in mushrooms and developed an organizing training framework based on mycelium. The core teaching was, people think the above-ground part (the mushroom) is the body of the organism, but that isn't the case. So too with movement. (cont)

I don't really talk about this, because I'm actually quite private about my personal life, but many many years ago Tony Head took me under his wing and showed me the kind of person I could be. It's not an exaggeration to say that I'm the person I am today because of the kindness he showed me.

Anthony Stewart Head. 💔 This thread has some wonderful bits of his work.

NASA describes Saturday’s meteor as a “fishy squisher”, notes that the meteorites are magnetic and “within reach of a 100’ length of rope dangled off of a boat. In case anyone is interested in such factoids.”

300+ people are starving themselves to be heard at Delaney Hall in Newark. ICE responded with rubber bullets and pepper spray. Mainstream media is silent. Three ways to help right now: 💰 Donate at linktr.ee/SupportOurFamilies 📞 Call your senators 🔁 Boost this Do not look away.

It took longer than expected due to supply chain issues

Reports of an explosion heard around Boston are believed to be a significant bolide/meteor entering the atmosphere, a very large flash was detected by GOES-19 satellite that does not correlate with active thunderstorms. https://t.co/MSDGX6ZnMA

After a mammal is a juvenile, they are an adult. But what are they after they are an adult? In seven species of mammal, including humans, life has a third act for females. We are underreacting to menopause.

Oh hey, I am once again going to talk about lack of distress tolerance, specifically for shame, and how it ties together AI, the “male loneliness epidemic,” Trumpism, and yes, people’s indignation that anyone might think they’re a bad person for continuing to buy Harry Potter merch.

Hey if you're old enough to remember wearing combat boots with a slip dress? Talk to your doctor about the estradiol patch. Because my joints have a whole new lease on life.

What if Shakespeare was a Masshole? This is a thing of beauty.

Some people say we don’t build beautiful things anymore and, like, lol. Motherfuckers, we built this:

Given the argument that ended the VRA, I think it’s time liberals did some self reflection about the now decades long obsession with partisan polarization as the problem, as opposed to authoritarianism, extremism, oligarchy, and racism

The entire National Science Foundation board was just fired.

The city blocked off part of our neighborhood to tear down a building w asbestos. The teen said "Why did people use asbestos if it causes cancer?!" I told him people thought it was a wonder product and used it EVERYWHERE & told him how the same thing happened w radioactivity... and now AI.

Hello, I made you a feed of your cats watching the Artemis II splashdown bsky.app/profile/did:...

They're closing all Forest Service regional offices, closing all but one research facility, and moving national headquarters to Utah, the center of the anti-public-lands movement. This will kill the agency, before they transfer our national forests to the states. Please call your Congresspeople.

The horse op-ed is an instant classic. I can't tell you how much joy this piece gives me. It should be taught in every introductory writing class in no small part because the horse arguments are so compelling. "I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children."

Happy St. Patrick's Day, New York.

NEW: Federal Cyber Experts Thought Microsoft’s Cloud Was “a Pile of Shit.” They Approved It Anyway. A program created to protect the government against cyber threats authorized a sprawling Microsoft cloud product, despite the company’s inability to fully explain how it protects sensitive data.

Commented! Having a background in forestry and having lived in western Oregon helps, but is not required.

This is what Rumsfeld would call an Unnoem Unnoem

At the Rocky Horror Picture Show in Minneapolis, they’re throwing out ICE whistles shaped like dicks.

To anyone that needs clarification, "your best" is what you can accomplish without damage to your physical, mental and emotional health, not what you can accomplish by destroying them

ICE OUT EVERYWHERE!!! This Saturday we rally on Boston Common to demand our state end cooperation with ICE and protect our communities. 📍 Liberty Mall, Boston Common 🗓 1/31 | ⏰ 11:30 AM Nonviolent. Loud. United.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.” That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

brass solidarity band performing “stand by me” in the streets of whittier next to alex pretti’s memorial. the crowd started chanting “the people united will never be defeated” so they incorporated it into the song. i love minneapolis

After Saturday's tragic shooting, I wrote about why Minnesota "officially" isn't doing more to resist ICE — and why Trump's actions are so dangerous. www.wired.com/story/why-mi...

"Oh my gosh, it was so nice to see you! Have a lovely day, fuck ICE!" "Oh you too hon! Stay safe in that traffic, fuck ICE!' - two older Minnesota ladies, bidding farewell after the protest

CNN: DHS officials have come to FEMA staff and told them to limit the use of the word ice…they are worried that by posting something like, watch out for the ice, that it's going to become a meme….

And now they’re trying this in Maine. 🤣

For folks in Maine. Folks at risk of being targeted are being advised to stay off the streets. This includes Black, Brown, and immigrant folks. The ICE activity is truly all over the Greater Portland area.

Folks, if you know any Minnesotan, you'll know that many of us will bring up Minnesota and Minnesota things at every possible opportunity. If we manage to ride out military occupation, we're going to be absolutely insufferable for the next 20 years. Think about what you're risking here.

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports. And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.” Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

1-10-2026 When 300 people show up on a cold windy day to say ICE OUT FOR GOOD🇺🇸🦅 Indivisible Rapid City City Hall Rapid City, South Dakota *Thank You Rapid City Police Department for keeping us safe #IndivisibleRapidCity #SouthDakota #indivisible #reneenicolegood #icemurder

Please understand this is happening in literally dozens of locations around the city simultaneously. If an ICE vehicle stops, community members materialize in seconds and do everything they can to stop the kidnappings. We are under siege and using every tool to fight back.

It’s hard to know if people outside MN understand how much of life is grinding to a halt here because of Trump’s occupation. Schools have shut down, businesses are scaling back hours or closing because their employees aren’t safe. The whole city is weighted down.

We put out a call for #ICEOutForGood vigils 24 hours ago. There are now more than 1000 events taking place across the country this weekend. Find yours: www.mobilize.us?tag_ids=2913...

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)
