I went to college in Portland and my spouse grew up there. It is incredibly special to me and their response to this madness does not surprise me at all. That’s Portland. Solidarity with the chicken and his frog friends forever!

Our plane to Spain is in the air! 🙌🙌 Thank you so much to the countless people supporting us in every way and in particular all of the Rutgers students and faculty who have supported us every step of the way.

Abbie knew what she was doing when she made this

these people are actually out of their fucking minds and im so sick of being told we need to pretend otherwise

new polls website just dropped fiftyplusone.news

Is this article supposed to be…flattering? The article is even more hilariously out of touch than the photos.

Calling all educators! We’re creating a high school curriculum for Scene on Radio Season 7: CAPITALISM. If you've used any part of the series in your teaching, we'd love to hear from you. Please fill out our short survey: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F... Thank you! cc: @zinnedproject.bsky.social

wowwww this is incredibly beautiful. tagging some friends who will love this: @ladyofsardines.bsky.social @heymrsbond.com @marcusluther.bsky.social therumpus.net/2025/10/02/h...

So since I'm annoyed let me say a few things today.Some folks have been writing about Christian Nationalism and apocalyptic right wing movements for YEARS here in the US. YEARS. Do we get to have a platform in major mags and newspapers... rarely.

I can't believe they renewed this depressing show (SCOTUS oral arguments)

“News flavored” : chef’s kiss That’s exactly it.

I often tell my students that I’ve litigated nearly all the amendments but they should call me if they have a Third Amendment case so I can collect the whole set. It is supposed to be a joke. 🫠

Every dem in congress needs to listen to this and really push leadership to adopt this message. No money unless you start following the law! Attn: @balint.house.gov !!

Wait until they hear about transubstantiation!

RIP Jane Goodall, by all accounts a wonderful woman who loved this Far Side cartoon

A bus of Bronx middle schoolers pulled up to the Capitol this morning for a long-planned field trip just a few hours after the government shut down. All Capitol tours were cancelled as the guides can’t work in shutdown. So I escorted them in myself and gave them a personal tour. They were great!

Boom!

Ok. So there's A LOT of misinformation about the government shutdown, the continuing resolution and gender-affirming care. There was one article in PinkNews that was VERY shoddy about what Trump said. So let's breakdown what's true and what's BS. 1/ www.thepinknews.com/2025/09/29/t...

If my only option is a video I will mute, turn on captions, and speed it up as fast as it will go

This is the true end of higher ed in the US- these students fund so many mid- tier colleges - higher ed will collapse with that full tuition $$$$$

Priztker: if federal agents fired upon journalists and protesters, when unprovoked, what would we call it?  I don't think we'd have any trouble calling it what it is. Authoritarianism.  So let's not pretend it's something else when it happens in our American cities.

!!!!!!!! This is the news we need ❤️

THE MEME IS REAL

Do I think this is true or do I just think it sounds badass” should be our new guiding star.

Y’all Come Vaccinate! ❤️👍🏾

I know I’m weird but I actually don’t think everyone should do their own medical and scientific research on medication safety?

One thing I do want to bring to the autism discussion is that i think it's easy to forget about the highest support needs autistic people and their families. That shit is really, REALLY hard. But the answer is not eugenics! It's money and support for those families!

People came from all over the world. They have serious problems to solve.

On the “you never see 70 year olds with ‘full blown’ autism” claim: People with significant needs have a much, much lower life expectancy, like in their 50s, *now*. Even worse decades ago. Miss me with this anecdotal quackery bullshit.

This right here. Or services.

they’re putting Kimmel back on the air. I would now like to see the same amount of outrage for the firing of professors for their statements

in point of fact, FDR’s open line of communication with black leaders like A. Philip Randolph absolutely strained his relationships with southern lawmakers and he did it anyway under the view that he was president for the whole country

I hope higher ed lasts long enough for future phd students to write dissertations about this absolutely unhinged memorial-rally-revival camp meeting

It wasn’t a memorial it was a political rally for a white nationalist theocracy

white house announces plans to break ground on a brand new sarlaac pit

Aka Pretribulationist dispensational millennialism for the religion nerds among us A product of anti-modernity in the 1920s!

What a great gift! I’m contemplating for the people in my life …

This is it right fucking here

Let’s not dress up like they did in 1773 though mkay? That wasn’t cool.

Damn, this photo

You didn’t have to do this @balint.house.gov Really disappointed.

📢 Educators: Free speech & the #FirstAmendment are in the news this week. How can you broach the topic with students? We have resources of different lengths including: ✨ Short: Our 10-question quiz 👉🏾 bit.ly/1AQuiz ✨ Long: Our Checkology lesson 👉🏾 bit.ly/Checkology1A

Wow, disappointed in my rep, who is usually great, on the CK resolution. Come on. How was this hard? It’s a trap, & everyone knows it. Vote no.

Thank you newshour for naming it

This is the playbook, folks. If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away. Do not be quiet in this moment.

I have opened a dozen tabs of excellent writing already this morning to depress myself with reading later!! Well done sky folks.

Let’s mock them still

You guys, this is what we meant

Good moment to remember that US foreign policy is also being reoriented to enable foreign censors and authoritarian propaganda around the world www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...
