Brittany Bloam defeated Pat Catena in the Democratic primary for Pennsylvania House District 45 after weeks of backlash over Catena’s anti-trans campaign mailers.

can anyone explain to me why the nfl draft is a thing worth traveling to a city to watch if you are not a player or an employee of a team or a reporter or agent or something

top ten places to go for the nfl draft! 1. to hell 2. home 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

psa: if you're a pittsburgher trying to build an influencer following off making content about Pittsburgh recs targeted to people coming here for the nfl draft, i will be blocking you

Immigrant rights group plans 8-day walk from Pittsburgh to ICE facility in Clearfield County

called google support bc my pixel screen is not usable, flashes random colors at times, shows solid colors at others google: can you send a photo of the screen *sends* google: *takes literally 3 days to ask me send it in a diff file type than the type i took with a literal pixel tablet they made*

the media is now telling people to work from home to save on gasoline, immediately after their years-long crusade to tell us why returning to office is best for everyone. this isn't a gotcha, it's an example of how contradicting demands allow the ruling class to blame us no matter what we do

This is a good lesson for journalists: Use plain language to state true things clearly.

Judge Barbra Streisand presiding.

In an 11-3-1 vote Allegheny County Council has voted to PASS legislation banning cooperation with ICE county wide. 🎉🎉🎉

New from 404 Media: CBP tapped into the online advertising ecosystem to track peoples' movements, according to an internal DHS document. Shows for the first time DHS tracked phones via process for putting ads in ordinary apps—video games, fitness apps, many more www.404media.co/cbp-tapped-i...

Unfortunately one of the funniest things he has ever said

Squeaky told me to remind you to rest and enjoy the sunshine if your brain is telling you to doomscroll instead

Pete Hegseth demands to “untie the hands of our warfighters to intimidate, demoralize, hunt, and kill the enemies of our country.” Donald Trump demands to use US cities "as training grounds for our military,” claiming “We’re under invasion from within. No different than a foreign enemy.” Fascism.

An odd quirk about Trump's revanchist nihilist imperialism is that the post-1945 international order was broadly set up for American hegemony but it required paying half a modicum of respect to the notion of shared rules and instead Trump wants a world where the US acts unbounded & the world obeys.

At least 70 people, including some 60 children, were killed when US & Israeli strikes hit the Shajareh Tayyebeh girls’ elementary school in Minab, southern Iran, according to the Fars News. The attack reportedly struck during school hours, w/ about 170 girls inside. Vids show families screaming...

Good morning. In case you were wondering, @evictionlab.bsky.social estimates that 7% of renters households in Allegheny County have experienced an eviction filing in the past 12 months. In January 2026 alone, there were 1,123 eviction filings. That's up 5% from the same period for 2023 & 2024.

Yinz are wonderful. Funds needed met & now just working on trying to get things book & arranged. You can stop sending money, but if there's - I'll put anything leftover toward however Crystal & the tenant organizing committee want to use it to help keep people warm & safe.

❗Help needed❗ Crystal White is a tenant who's had no heat for a week in this dangerous cold, with congestive heart failure which increases risk significantly in extreme cold. Help put her, 3 kids, and a service dog in a hotel to stay safe & warm through the night? venmo.com/u/Mtthewrubiin

is it just me or is logging into meta products from a computer now just an unnavigable maze half the time? infinite loop login processes that keep bring me back to the login page after logging in, asking me to verify with a code from unspecified authenticator, no 2fa text/email arriving, etc etc

most Democrats in Congress would've condemned the Warsaw Uprising and sternly demanded the Nazis investigate themselves for their conduct in concentration camps

ICE has kidnapped one of my MN News Guild siblings

how exactly does norton convince so many companies to try to sneak norton bloatware onto your computer in the most obnoxious ways possible? it feels like they're doing it for the nostalgia of 90's popup ads kept alive through norton premium upgrade windows that pop up

every time you are about to spend money to buy something it might be first worth wondering if your local library has a resource that could help. it's a small thing, but get to know what they have, use it, and evangelize it. public goods and real third spaces help build community and save money.

i desperately need to know if this baby is ok because i’m going to lose my mind, you know?

camera 1

a selection of institutions older than ice: shake shack, spongebob squarepants, the bourne movie series, seven nation army by the white stripes, benson boone, and the actor who played mike in stranger things ICE is not an impervious, everlasting thing. it doesn't need to exist. it shouldn't exist.

semi-regular reminder that ICE was only created in 2003 when you are asked to imagine a world without ICE, you're basically being asked to remember where you were when Lilo & Stitch came out

the thing about “ICE needs training” is that Jonathan Ross was a ten year DHS vet and a firearms instructor he’s the kind of guy they get training from the whole institution is rotten, throw it out

good advice to read this book, from a rally in Boston yesterday. @alexvitale.bsky.social

This is the logical conclusion of cop worship in the US

hi, political philosopher here! this is not funny, central banks only do this when they're in extreme distress

be careful yall pgh roads are real slippy tn saw a pizza delivery guy walking 2 blocks rather than trying to drive down a hill in my neighborhood & rather than try to walk the hill, he opted for a controlled slide on his feet down the icy road if you're ordering delivery your tip better be amazing

The closing of the CP and the PG aren't just like, a bummer, or like a regular fuck-the-Blocks moment. It's a drastic reduction in citizens' ability to stay informed and hold our local government accountable, which in today's political environment will have consequences that make my head spin.

Every person on Bluesky should know: * Every post on Bluesky is PUBLIC forever * Every post on Bluesky is archived by ICE, NSA, and many other agencies * Even if you delete a post, it’s already been captured * Judges don’t care if you were “kidding” or being ironic www.404media.co/the-200-site...

shutting down a 100-year-old newspaper (with roots dating to the 1700s!) rather than pay fair wages and engage in fair labor practices

The newspaper of record of my entire childhood would literally rather die than pay its unionized workers the wages and benefits that the actual Supreme Court of the United States of America decided were owed to them.

I've dedicated 9 years of my life to Pittsburgh journalism, including 3 years on strike. I'm gutted by this, and I truly hope this means the Blocks will leave Pittsburgh for good. They've done immeasurable damage to our city. Also, hit me up if you need a good copy editor or writer.

NEW: Post-Gazette to shut down 240-year-old paper after SCOTUS slaps down company’s bid to evade court order “Instead of simply following the law, the owners chose to punish local journalists and the city of Pittsburgh,” said Goldstein, president of @pghguild.com newsguild.org/pittsburgh-p...

The people of Pittsburgh deserve so much better than newspaper bosses who violate federal law.

Ah fuck I used this security system and two little guys snuck into my house and destroyed my most prized possession

But the Ezra Douthglezias pundits told us that getting more folks to vote (for progressives) is a losing strategy and we need to fight for the “center”

I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win

more people should know that @climatedefiance.bsky.social is on a generational run of bird dogging & event disruption protests, and the world is rife with many more villains who deserve this treatment from many more of us as well.

With chants of “Rats and mice are squeaking! Ceiling pipes are leaking!” and “Housing is a human right!” a handful of tenants from a group of subsidized, troubled properties in the Hill District marched on a property management office Thursday morning, demanding fixes and a meeting with managers.
