New: 150 unionized ProPublica workers are on strike TODAY over AI, layoff protections, wages, and more. They're asking readers to not visit ProPublica or engage with content on other platforms. It's the first work stoppage of its kind at the newsroom. www.theverge.com/news/908401/...

We’re on strike today! Support our fight for a fair contract by NOT visiting the @propublica.org website or engaging with ProPublica stories today. Tell ProPublica’s management you won’t cross the picket line: actionnetwork.org/petitions/te...

happy 17776 day everyone

I understand that most of us don't have the means to personally stop what's happening and there are many domestic victims of the US regime, but there's something very grim and galling about seeing Americans post "we must find moments of joy" every time our government murders children.

yeah and they are going to remain un fucking used oh my god. i get one of these like every few days

this is really good

Boston University’s student paper, The Daily Free Press, reports about the multiplication of pride flags on campus following the administration’s attempted crackdown on free speech.

The conversion therapy interest group profiled in this story with @hencarnell.bsky.social is cheering today's SCOTUS ruling. "Clients who have been forced to believe in LGBTQ ideology have faced irreversible harm in some cases," president David Pickup says. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

TDoV 🧵: trans visibility is a double-edged sword due to the Unmarked/Marked mindset: trans ppl face undue attention & scrutiny b/c we're marked. but we also face invisibility b/c ppl typically presume that every person they meet belongs to the unmarked majority (aka, cis)... youtu.be/xiU-G0mTYVY

It's Trans Day of Visibility, so we've made our special series about being trans on the internet completely free to read for everyone, forever. www.theverge.com/cs/features/... Here are a few stories from the collection:

It's Trans Day of Visibility and I wrote about how visibility without protection is a trap, and it often seems like the loudest calls for us to be visible are coming from those who have done nothing to protect us. www.coyotemedia.org/im-supposed-...

Happy Trans Day of Visibility! We've just unlocked our Trans Cinema issue from 2023, guest edited by poet Spencer Williams. It is now (and forever!) entirely free.

lately i've been obsessed with the photographs of alison laing, which span from 1956 to the early 2000s for trans day of visibility, a new video about laing's life and legacy -- and the value of creating your own archive

The American Medical Association directly responds to New York Times coverage mischaracterizing their posiiton on gender affirming care for trans young people. cloud.e.ama-assn.org/newsletter?u...

Crossing state borders for HRT. Insurance denials. Missed surgeries. U.S. Catholic bishops imposed a ban on all trans healthcare throughout the church's massive networks. That's left working class trans people struggling even more. Our latest, by @davidforbes.bsky.social are some of their stories:

This piece is frustrating. The bulk of it is spent on the debate around licensing with a brief mention at the end of a major issue: Many older drivers live in areas without transportation options. Stricter licensing and more road tests are needed, but we also need to address car dependency.

Today I am barn raising for an $1800 March rent need for a family in Central neighborhood. Can you chip in or share? 🌻🌻🌻

If you're at an airport today, we'd LOVE to know what it's like interacting with ICE instead of TSA. You can DM me or find me on Signal at Vittoria89.82.

op ed in the strib today from a roofer who is scared to return to work due to ICE. she brings up developers like united properties and DR horton not calling for an end to the ICE occupation, which was the target of the press conference in the below thread www.startribune.com/mn-immigrant...

as a MA voter, moulton deserves to get absolutely piledrived at the polls for his shameful stance on trans rights (and he will)

Boston University, where I teach, has been taking down Pride Flags from faculty and office windows because of a new “content neutral” ban on public-facing flags and banners. This is a bad policy that infringes on free speech. Faculty are protesting. Today the President defended these actions. ⬇️⬇️⬇️

1/ Today, we overwhelmingly voted to authorize a STRIKE as we fight for a fair contract with @propublica.org.

We’re keeping @soleilho.com’s blistering essay on Chavez, Redzepi, and the perils of centering heroes within systems that enable their abuses unpaywalled for the day. Read it, and consider supporting @coyotemedia.org however you can. www.coyotemedia.org/kill-the-her...

From Dolores Huerta: “I am nearly 96 years old, and for the last 60 years have kept a secret because I believed that exposing the truth would hurt the farmworker movement I have spent my entire life fighting for… I can no longer stay silent…” Full statement: medium.com/@dolores_hue...

Absolutely gutting

I wrote about Venezuela, pride, and (finally) winning: defector.com/viva-venezue...

We hear “stick to sports” too much, but let’s be clear here: Team USA itself refused to stick to sports, eschewing representation of so much great American culture for, uh, Da Troops and nothing else.

How to describe the experience of Venezuelan players at a fraught political time in VZ and the US? The Red Sox’ 5 Venezuelan players - Narváez, Abreu, Suarez, Contreras, Monasterio - offered insight into what Abreu called a “double life.” Story for Globe Magazine: www.bostonglobe.com/2026/03/17/m...

The WNBA and its players’ union reached an agreement in principle on a transformational new collective bargaining agreement early Wednesday morning. on.nbcboston.com/uqG0GVk

joy over jingoism is the lesson here

An overconfident Team USA getting embarrassed by a much smaller country in front of a global audience is their last and most beautiful tribute to the American military yet

They did it. They honored the troops by having more firepower than everyone in the world combined & still getting WASHED.

obviously viva venezuela first and foremost but also lmao how's it going acting like you've been here before fellas? big fuck you to the most rancid team in this tournament, que muera los estados unidos 🇻🇪

VENEZUELAAA jesus christ i'm gonna cry, i love you venezuela 🇻🇪🇻🇪🇻🇪🇻🇪🇻🇪😭😭😭😭😭

The Fox broadcast is treating the end of an extremely exciting tournament with so much talent from all over the world as if the Colorado Rockies are beating the 1998 Yankees in a boring spring training game. If Smoltz & Co. don’t want to be here, go find … anything else to do with your time.

Weird how every journalist writing ‘balanced’ feature stories on this issue turns out to be a deranged conspiracist and ideologue the second you hear them speak off the cuff

just want to note that the usps workers' rights have been absolutely gutted. they have a 90% turnover rate within the first three months, and workers are often expected to work 7 days a week, 10+ hrs a day. oh, and sundays? they deliver for amazon (which you can see in the image below actually).

VENEZUELAAAAA 🇻🇪🇻🇪🇻🇪🇻🇪🇻🇪🇻🇪😭😭😭😭🫶🫶🫶

*taps internet microphone* After months of work, a project i've been coordinating for @literaryhub.bsky.social in conjunction with @maris.bsky.social is now live ... We've commissioned 13 reviews of books by LGBTQ folks not covered by the NYTBR under Pamela Paul ... lithub.com/what-was-los...

NEW: Kansas revoked 1,700 transgender drivers’ licenses. Some are leaving the state I spoke to trans Kansans and the one Republican who voted against the law. For @nbcnews.com: www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

resetting my "days since crying about the team Czechia electrician pitcher" counter to 0

I know people are very sensitive about the use of the word “genocide” but the attempts to medically eliminate trans children is very clearly meets the standard because they are trying to eliminate a population and also they know some of those kids are going to kill themselves

Must read from @janus.bsky.social about how “age verification” laws are paving the way for the online version of what just happened to trans people in Kansas (gift link!) www.theverge.com/policy/89207...
