I think @hcrichardson.bsky.social has similar numbers (with less overhead and immeasurably more principle).

DHS is now lying its way into college dorms without warrants in order to seize students.

I'm putting on a hat so I can take it off to Dario Amodei: “In a narrow set of cases, we believe A.I. can undermine, rather than defend, democratic values,” Mr. Amodei wrote. “Some uses are also simply outside the bounds of what today’s technology can safely and reliably do.”

I have stayed on my reps about this horrific bill, but they are small and cruel people. Keep in mind they refused to allow public comment on the bill that allowed this. They know it’s mean and evil.

An overcast day but the Botanic Garden reopened after the cyclonic storm of a few weeks ago, and all of the subsequent clearing up, so I had to go check on my favorite tree. And my second favorite. They're doing okay. Overall, not too much damage that I could see.

wholly beautiful Alice Notley

Very stoked to have a poem in this issue. 🙏🏻👇🏻

So wrong.

@newyorkstateag.bsky.social pretty sure this means BP murdered this man. Pretty sure thats a crime in NY.

Since the storms and flooding, the cormorants and gulls are loving these new sandbanks in the river, and the return of 🌞 Still a climate emergency though

Now, this is a great idea.

oh i forgot in my life of crime adjacent art experiences, I timed the guards at the Tate Modern ages ago and set this green alien baby out as an art piece for two minutes.

It's Blog Day! Happy Monday. Here's I SEE BLUE SKY... soopoftheday-soo.blogspot.com/2026/02/i-se...

The country we’re living in is being run by a madman. Led by a human who’s the leader of a cult that believes him to be the second coming of Jesus Christ. A human they referred to his daddy. A trans phobic homophobic racist. But now has an open door. And this is the result.

Under the leadership of Dr. Reimer, the Canadian Medical Association challenged the Alberta GAC restrictions, and didn’t mince words about what it meant for doctors to follow their oaths. Surreal to read from the US, but so grateful to have you, @jossreimer.bsky.social

These motherfuckers

ABOLISH ICE/DHS AND CLOSE THE CAMPS.

A bit late on this— but I have a poem out in the Winter issue of The Southern Review! @southernreview.bsky.social

So, early reports show someone dragged a roll of toilet paper AND a box of tissues onto the chair and took one million bites. We need more facts before we jump to conclusions

This is barbaric. There is no world where people don't die because of this policy. That's one of the many, many reasons the courts ordered these policies be changed in the first place after decades of refusal. But that's the point of this change, isn't it?

"Weekly protest numbers have risen to about 1,200-1,300, up from 800-900 last year. The total count since the start of the year has risen to 11,843. One thousand of those are student-led protests."

A phenomenal new issue of Split Lip Magazine! Grab a coffee and settle in! Thanks so much for reading and sharing! ❤️

Please journalists: scientific findings don’t get “revoked” by politicians. They can be challenged or contradicted by other scientists in the presence of new evidence, sure. That didn’t happen here. Every new piece of climate science since the endangerment finding supports the original thesis.

Impeach and remove RFKJr.

These are table umbrellas outside one of a row of riverside restaurants, about a half mile from where I live. Today has been rain-free so far and the river, although very high, is not overtopping in the center of the city, so fingers crossed. #ClimateCrisis #Coimbra #Portugal

Three Lies And One Truth About A Banana… A poem for Valentine’s Day with thanks to Henry Normal.

This is great on the “SAVE” act. “Don’t be fooled by my name, I suck.”

For multiple reasons, I can't be at AWP this year and already the FOMO is strong. But I will be reading at one of my favorite online places on Feb 22! If you'd like to hang out with us, here's the link to register. I'd love to see you there! us02web.zoom.us/meeting/regi...

not just the anonymous internet, but anonymous public space itself, is under concerted attack. Ring. Flock. Discord. Palantir. ID laws. These platforms & devices do not serve us, and we should earnestly develop alternatives.

The term is so rare that out of over 300,000 news entries, it only appeared first in May 7 2024 in a "news" article on evangelical blog World News Group called "Giving evil a pleasant label." This was logged two days before EPPC posted the document on May 9. web.archive.org/web/20250908...

Every writer, even those of questionable character, knows it's not a race or a competition. If you need AI to "generate a book", you're not an author. You're a disgusting scumfuck.

Haha get her ass @ufw.bsky.social

i wrote a collection with my bestie and it’s gonna be out in the world soooooon. like, actually.

Washington state remains one of the 16 states that DOES NOT grant parole. There are thousands of Black men who have been incarcerated since the 1980s for drug possession because of it. campaignzero.org

This is from Matthew Rice’s collection ‘Plastic’. A microcosm of working class life set in a single 12 hour factory night shift. It is an astonishing book, its acute observations are at times stark and bleak, at other surreal, funny and humane #poetry #poemoftheday

I'm surprised I've only seen this argument made here in this article. GLP-1 drugs seem like a catastrophe for ED. www.npr.org/2026/02/04/n...

We can feel helpless when we look out at how powerful our political leaders seem. But politicians aren't all powerful. The Pillars of Support is a tool that can help us organize smart movements and break down the structures of authoritarian regimes: youtu.be/H6JsPFdtS-k
