@jvl.bsky.social was right as always. You predicted this scenario, but with Greenland. We have no idea who’s controlling what in Venezuela or what’s actually true. We don’t even know if any servicemembers were God forbid killed during this demented operation.

Now this is how you do journalism. Mother Jones is well worth a subscription, they are doing stellar and vital work during these dark times.👍

Chris Murphy is one of the only Dems who gets that there is no budget “deal” to make. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/there-is-n...

I read this story over and over, it is very uplifting. It tells the story of a young man struggling with mental illness and the path forward he found. It posits an intriguing way to view and perhaps manage even severe conditions. Hope I pasted the gift link correctly www.nytimes.com/2025/05/07/n...

A wide range of academic organizations has signed a letter calling on the Department of Education to reinstate the Title VI program. For those not familiar, Title VI funds foreign language and area studies programs. The funding has prepared generations of students for international work and research

An Everett woman and her son were detained by immigration officials in late July when they were coming back into Washington from British Columbia. The labor union representing her is requesting her immediate release.

People aren’t talking enough about how Baltimore and Mayor Brandon Scott have drastically lowered homicides/shootings with the “woke” policies Republicans love to disparage. As a public health issue, not as a way to enrich private prison friends. More: popular.info/p/the-secret...

Amen.

I have been waiting for a politician to finally address the Trump regime in its full criminal, anti-democratic, illiberal horror. Delia Ramirez finally cuts through the bullshit and lays it all on the table. @delia.bsky.social you are my hero. Noem Noem. 🇺🇸 www.mind-war.com/p/noem-noem-...

Just 80 years ago. Within my parents’ lifetimes. And history begins to repeat itself. Never again should mean never again.

Please highlight this story. ICE stormed into the wrong house, trashed the place, and made women/girls stand outside in the rain in their underwear. ICE also stole phones, laptops, and cash savings from the family, who moved to OKC two weeks ago. kfor.com/news/local/w...

I signed this letter because I’ve lived it. Chris Krebs & Miles Taylor are friends & former colleagues who chose country over politics—truth over fear. Now Trump is targeting them for it. This is authoritarian retribution—plain & simple. Over 200 of us are speaking out. Please read & share.

Please share what happened at my alma mater. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/19/o...

The Trump-Supreme Court battle is not really the crisis. The crisis is here now. Trump is enacting an insidious coordinated attack on our institutions of democratic accountability, designed to crater democracy before next fall. 1/ A long 🧵to explain the plan & how we stop it.

CBP now retaliating against US citizens for their social media posts. Former Army Infantryman & federal wildland firefighter, and he's tired of traitors who have never served a day in their lives telling him he doesn't have a right to criticize this government just because he's ethnically Chinese.

A favor to ask: my book proposal goes out to publishers early next month. If you want to read the story that I’ve never told, can you please help me get to 100k followers by April 1? Thank you! 🙏

These are terrible times — the worst I’ve lived through, and I’ve lived through some bad ones. But in hundreds of thousands of ways, you are beacon lights. You are the beginnings of positive change. robertreich.substack.com/p/a-sunday-t...

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

And here’s the copy. Please disseminate these images widely. Who needs to place ads in a newspaper that few people actually read anymore?

Your reminder that fame is not wealth and America is broken. Mainstream people know him as the cabbie from SCROOGED, but he’s a prolific musician and entertainer who has been at the heart of music since the late ‘70s. variety.com/2025/music/n...

I needed this reminder today. Doomscrolling only helps fascism. New plan: check in with the news, then go do some democracy offline. 🥄 www.404media.co/email/343266...

Being a person with deadly, incurable cancer who is nonetheless still alive for an indefinite timeframe gives me an interesting metaphor that helps me deal with things like large-scale corruption in government or commerce. Bear with me for a second while I try to explain.

Not everyone can fight Trumpism and Trumpists directly. But remember this: kindness, decency, and fidelity to American values are defiance in the face of Trumpism. So be kind, decent, and faithful, particularly to the many kinds of people despised and attacked by Trumpists. That’s revolutionary./1

In 2020, I asked why so many Republicans had abandoned the values they had previously held. Still relevant. www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...

Musk's opinion piece for the German paper Die Welt, endorsing a right-wing extremist political party, matters a lot more for us than you might think, so I spent some time putting together a look at German politics, Musk's views, and the reaction to them. joycevance.substack.com/p/musk-in-di...

Niemöllers poem starts after the Nazis came for the trans and lgbtq folks If you are wondering what to do as American fascisms curtain starts to drop protect trans people. they are the first group targeted for the worst violence and if you do not protect them, you’ll be unable to protect anyone else

For the @nytimes.com I wrote about how Enough is Enough with the incumbent president and his cabinet of folly and let’s stop coddling Trump voters and be real clear-eyed about what lies ahead. www.nytimes.com/2024/11/17/o...

I would like to speak up today for the trans community. You see, I know a bit of what it’s like to be politically scapegoated. When Japan attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941, suddenly anyone in America who had any amount of Japanese ancestry became suspect. Politicians preyed upon ignorance and fear. /1

We are on @bsky.app. Please consider following @auschwitzmemorial.bsky.social where every day we commemorate the victims & educate about the tragic human history of Auschwitz. Repost please.

The only reason I waited so long to leave Twitter. Please follow Auschwitz Memorial. They only had 1.5 million followers on Twitter and were constantly losing followers. Their history is important to share. Let’s get them to 2 million on Bluesky

I have faced fascism before, in this very country. I was one of 120,000 Japanese Americans summarily rounded up and expelled from our homes at gunpoint, all for the crime of looking like the people who bombed Pearl Harbor. I spent my childhood behind barbed wire. My parents lost everything. 1/
