Rick Steves reposted me last night, so naturally now I'm struting around like... #PBSKid

Tried watching @ricksteves.bsky.social Iran episode and only made it 30 seconds before getting choked up at the sight of darling Iranian school girls. If only everyone could see their humanity. ❤️‍🩹 A must watch. youtu.be/CYoa9hI3CXg?...

A nightmare employment report this morning. Economists’ expectation was +50,000 jobs. Actual number was 92,000 jobs lost. 🎁 🔗 www.wsj.com/economy/jobs...

It implies that we are visitors in someone else’s country.

[TW: graphic fracture, sound of breaking bone] Sen Tim Sheehy (R-Montana) badly breaking the arm of a Marine veteran protesting the war Iran.

Hey bro! New war just dropped!! 🤮 www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/3/...

All workers deserve access to paid leave. And without action from Congress, states continue to lead the way. New @npwf.bsky.social research shows that nearly one-third of U.S. workers are now covered by state paid leave programs. nationalpartnership.org/report/state...

On this day in 1929, a Czech Jewish boy was born. On the 16 Apr 1942 he was deported to Theresienstadt with his parents and sister and on the 18 May 1944 to Auschwitz where he perished. His sister was deported 3 days later. His name was Gustav Harry Pick Support @AuschwitzMuseum

I keep seeing more and more reports like this--Hegseth is trying to wage a "holy war." The timing is no coincidence. The recklessness is no coincidence. We're all in grave danger if Congress doesn't end it NOW. jonathanlarsen.substack.com/p/us-troops-...

The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive

The lack of coverage of the war on BlueSky is stunning. 📣Iranian opposition leaders taken out. 📣US servicemembers killed. 📣Red crescent offices bombed. None on my timeline here. Is it just me???

He's really dead. www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblo...

What "it's a distraction" people fundamentally need to understand about fascism is that fascism's entire mode of operation is diverting popular anger/anxiety/despair into channels of violence against the Other (both internal and external). It's not flailing, it's the whole strategy.

A war crime within a war crime.

NEW: Guards have taken away crayons, colored pencils & paper during recent room searches at Dilley, according to detainees and others. After one inspection, the children just “cried and cried and cried,” a mother said. The facility denies the claims. By @mckenziefunk.com @micarosenberg.bsky.social

Happy "call a not online person to tell them the President lies" day to all who celebrate! Make this one count!

I’ve been talking about Alysa Liu’s story about her quitting skating only to come back and become even better because she did it for herself and this came to me in a dream…

Work alongside New York City's Strongest as we get through this historic storm.    Emergency shoveling pay is now $30/hour. Walk into any sanitation garage to sign up TODAY BY 8PM or TOMORROW from 9AM to 8PM.    Let's get NYC back on its feet— together. bit.ly/NYCShovel

They didn't even edit it out!?!?!?!?!

Oh how I miss this!

And that's why these are the real winners:

Willie Colón, PRESENTE!

A British grandmother with a valid visa detained by ICE for 6 weeks. "So why did ICE detain her, and keep her locked up for so long? ICE officers are paid a bonus every time they detain someone. 'Individual ICE agents get money per head that they detain – the guards told me that,' Karen says."

Yay Areeeaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!

Hell yeah Amber Glenn!

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

2026 basically

Have a great day, y'all!

I am begging people to understand that this absolutely could happen to them, and somewhere a dude *wants* it to happen to them so that he can make more $$$

Y'all I just lost my shit watching a Black mom win a gold medal on monobob (and another mom win Bronze)! It means so much to see Black folks compete and win at the ✨Winter✨ Olympics, especially knowing all the barriers in the way. But Elena's also my age? With kids? My heart is SO full.

📣 New icon alert!! (In all seriousness tho, I hope the kid is okay)

What's the purpose of saying that there's no position so extreme that someone could lose your vote? Especially this far out? You're effectively giving possible candidates the all clear to move as far right as they'd like. This seems foolish.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

What an insult to potters!

Is there a website or news service that you turn to for the best analysis in the Epstein files? Struggling to sort through social media hyperbole/fakes being sent to me and the actual (horrible) truth.

CBP didn’t give her or anyone any water; she asked 3 times accg to other reports. CBP killed a 7yr old. “8 hours after the girl & her father were taken into custody, she began having seizures & her body temperature was measured at 105.7 degrees by emergency medical technicians. shorturl.at/d2OTJ

Sadly, I think a lot of us know someone who engages with Nick Fuentes. And most of us know people who laugh him off as "just joking." They should all have to account for this.

Saw that Epstein thanked ED Secretary Betsy DeVos for making it harder to bring Title IX sexual assault complaints and immediately thought of this story. They're rigging every system they can...

A Reuters photographer captured this image of a page from Pam Bondi's "burn book," which she used to counter any questions from Democratic lawmakers during an unhinged hearing today. It looks like the DOJ monitored members of Congress’s searches of the unredacted Epstein files. Just wow.

This is the second account - the first being in Chicago - of DHS agents mass detaining people and then *sorting them by race*.

In Jan OpenAI fired VP of public policy (safety) for discrimination against a male colleague. There are no details about the alleged complaint but she had raised concerns about the ChatGPT’s proposed adult mode and was vocal that co wasn’t doing enough to stop CSAM. She also led mentorship for women

She really just said why are you talking about the mass coverup of child rape when you should be talking about money

Team USA Curler Rich Ruohonen: "We'd be remiss if we didn't at least mention what's going on in Minnesota...I am a lawyer, as you know, and we have a constitution... and what's happening in Minnesota is wrong. There's no shades of gray. It's clear."

❌ Spend money to save the lives of desperately poor children ✅ Spend money to investigate a concert Makes total sense, right?
