LIVID.

The wholesome that I needed today. 😻

This is a desperate last-ditch effort by a failing president to suppress votes because his agenda of pardoning pedophiles and ripping away health care is about to lose him the midterms. My message to Trump is this: if you come for Oregon’s vote-by-mail, you’ll have hell to pay.

Bunny reporting for duty! 🐰📚

Social movement scholar here again. So, why protest? Nihilists were out yesterday arguing that "protests don't do anything." A short 🧵:

if you find yourself overwhelmed by constant terror at the state of the world, may I suggest becoming a bird person? it doesn't really fix anything, but it at least lets you go "oh hell yeah" whenever you see a raven flying past with sticks for a nest in its beak or whatever

Rick Steves: "Know people before you bomb them." On Death, Sex & Money, the travel writer reflects on the 2009 episode of his show on Iran. Watch now on YouTube: youtu.be/MGQw7_-6uCw?...

“Our love is unconditional” Meet the people serving our community members on the streets of District 4. Squier, a street librarian with Street Books, gave me a tour of their mobile services at sidewalk locations in neighborhoods like Old Town. I’m inspired by their commitment to dignity for all.

Hey. I decided to do a wellness check on the timeline. If you see this: pause. Think of something soft and quiet and peaceful that makes you happy. Take a deep breath. Close your eyes and unclench your jaw. Release. … Its not much, but I hope it helped you. Be well, friends. ❤️👍🏾

it is absolutely thrilling to watch nominations come in for the Le Guin Prize but there's one thing I want to say one more time: middle grade and YA novels are eligible for this prize! I would really love to see more nominations come from those categories

“I Will Not Comply”: Librarian Luann James Fights Censorship Demands of Rutherford County Library System’s Board RCLS's director continues to fight back against a library board that demands she remove books, share private info. This is the job, folks! bookriot.com/librarian-lu...

If ICE is so busy and their work so important, how could they stop what they’re doing and work security at all the airports? It kind of suggests they’re a mercenary army on standby, ready to do whatever.

Worker solidarity! Let ProPublica know their audience doesn't want AI, we want humans and we will not be clicking on ProPublica news during a strike. All workers deserve a fair contract. 💪

Don’t be fooled by the inflammatory name of this bill. Contact your reps!

Did you know that Medicaid isn't called 'Medicaid' everywhere, to the point that ONE out of THREE people who are on Medicaid don't ✨know✨ it? So how can they be incentivized to fight for their healthcare if they don't know it's their healthcare? (Alt in the comments, it's a lot!)

I know who’s talking, but what a whopper!

An entire evening of entertainment here.🤣

What was that?? ESPN did a cutaway from the game to an interview with Arkansas’s Kuhio Aloy. They asked him to pronounce his very long middle name and then asked him if he could spell it AND THEN MADE HIM DO IT. Announcers then hoped his preschool teacher hadn’t made him write it as a kid, ha ha.

If you’re wondering why Congress doesn’t do what Americans want it’s because Congress doesn’t represent America. It represents the Predator Class.

The US was isolated in its opposition to the adoption of agreed conclusions at the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women, recording the only “no” vote at the UN on Monday.

This is hilarious. Also, completely enraging.

you see we didnt hit iran. iran slipped and fell in the kitchen and thats why iran has a black eye. if iran would just stop being clumsy we wouldnt have to get so mad at them. if iran would just use its brain we wouldnt have to yell at iran...

Joke's on you daylight savings I'm totally fine with an hour less of this shitshow

There will be politicians and political parties and governments that will come and go, and tell us that some lives are not worth as much as others, or are not worth anything at all. These bad faith actors will tell us that for some people in this world to thrive, other people need to suffer.

Jason Reynolds is always a powerful speaker & this interview is fantastic. “I’d rather the child be scandalized and reading than sanctified and illiterate.”

Secretary Noem must be impeached.

“…one was left with the clear sense that Trump was at his most animated when describing the bloodied and mangled bodies of other people. This obsession with the body—and particularly with the body as the subject of serious injury, even death—is a hallmark of right-wing politics in America.”

Here's what's buried in those files that Republicans don't want you to see: -Who funded and enabled Epstein. -Where Epstein’s payments went. -Any connections between Epstein and organized crime.

The news is so awful today, I am glad my library hold on The Everlasting finally came in.It’s breathtaking.I’m all the way to page 5 and the writing is so beautiful and so “I-didn’t-know-I-needed-this-so-badly” that I just want to cry.I will always read anything @alixeharrow.bsky.social ever writes.

Shout out to Boston

WTF--this is NOT okay. Congress, do your job!

I'm sorry, if you're going to make a big show about how you've got a Department of WAR helmed by a Secretary of WAR and staffed by WARfighters, it's totally inane to then claim that your massive bombing of a foreign country constitutes something other than a war.

Your daily affirmation: You are made of atoms. Atoms are made by stars. Stars are hot. Therefore, you are hot. Don't forget that.

DoD now partnering with OpenAI after Anthropic says no to robotic killing machines and spying on Americans. I think OpenAI is a better choice, anyway. I’ve seen all the lawsuits they’re charged with and it looks like they’re really good at killing people and convincing them to kill others.

Zelensky said Americans struggle to read Russia and tell when it lies adding he told Jared and Steve it is easier to assume Russia lies all the time. He also asked why Ukraine elections matter so much to Russians and Americans but less to Ukrainians.

vindictive, vicious cruelty designed to humiliate and criminalize every trans person in kansas horrifying fascist shit reminiscent of the runup to the literal holocaust

The most unqualified administration ever‼️

“250 years is a long time for a nation.” LOL! Where??? 😂🤣

Touching to see U2 and Ed Sheeran remember this terrible anniversary in Ukraine and the men and women who are doing what they have to do. youtu.be/p92NzxFmseo?...

Folks weren't exggerating when they said this regime would come for birth control. Write your Senators immediately.

My heart is with the people of Ukraine especially today which marks the 4th anniversary of the full-scale attack by Russia. I will be watching @ozkaterji.bsky.social 's documentary to which they are generously allowing free 48hr access. Slava Ukraini. 🇺🇦💪

Every 👏🏻 single 👏🏻 word. 👏🏻

The thing about the women’s hockey team declining the SOTU invitation is in part that sometimes, if you do not need certain kinds of power, you get to retain others.

This is really beautiful. The people of Ukraine are so resilient & Pokrovsk still stands.

Timeline cleanse! ❤️
