Welcome back, Reha and Vince. I was mad that I missed you so much. #Pluribus

Please remind us who the domestic terrorists are again.

yeah hi i guess im posting here now

In the last few days, there's been a lot of fearful chatter about how "ICE NOW HAS THE CAPABILITIES TO HACK INTO ANY PHONE" with Paragon Systems Graphite spyware. This isn't an accurate assessment of how the spyware works and who is at risk, so at LFP we made some graphics to help folks understand.

Dear Trump, F*** you. Sincerely, D.C. @50501dc.bsky.social

I couldn’t write a more eye-opening lecture on race and white identity politics than what this administration is offering in its differential treatment of Afrikaners versus every other refugee or immigrant group.

They are just lying liars who lie. Why would their hand-selected so-called White House Content Corp correct them?

you know who you are. #TheHandmaidsTale

History will not absolve these rancid apparatchiks and bureaucratic operatives.

#IMLS: “States Win a Legal Injunction Against President Trump, Pausing Library Funding Cuts” www.infodocket.com/2025/05/06/i... #libraries

How to add this to responses in the State’s useless anti-sexual harassment video training that’s inflicted on workers annually…🤔

Handmaid’s Tale stays on brand.

These insightful words from @mskellymhayes.bsky.social are the commencement address that I would’ve loved eons ago and will be shared on the first day of class now and well into our unfortunate future: organizingmythoughts.org/author/kelly/. Send to your graduates/young people.

“The initiative is open to all students—American, Canadian, or international—who have had an offer rescinded or are reconsidering an offer to study at the doctoral level at a top U.S. university or college…” www.queensu.ca/grad-postdoc...

A non-Jewish comedian is telling a Jewish comedian that he is being insulting to Jews, which is pretty much the logical endpoint of the way we talk about antisemitism in the US.

They're making big mistakes, moving too quickly and burning bridges before they're capable of shutting down the opposition.

Not My Dictator

“The repression of international students has served as a testing ground, through which the rest of us are increasingly vulnerable and within the crosshairs.”

Do not rank Cuomo and tell everyone you know we don't need this disgusting human being running the city.

The Last of Us and Max (HBO, wotever) should provide a crisis hotline like they do for heavy issue-oriented episodes of Coronation Street. #tlou

Mark remains only moderately useful. To whom? Unclear. The Handmaid’s Tale remains reliable.

🚨Georgetown University Law Center students are detailing which law firms have caved and which have stood up to the Trump regime. They have created this spreadsheet: docs.google.com/spreadsheets... Please share widely.

As a criminal defense attorney, the vast majority of my cases were NOT immigrants. So let's stop pretending immigrants are the problem when there's a 34-count convicted felon sitting in the White House. The hypocrisy is outrageous.

imagine being this pathetic, servile and eager to gulp up the slop

It was the worst of times, it was the worst of times.

Coinciding with The Handmaid’s Tale new season dropping…

📚⚖️ Libraries need legal champions in the digital age. At @georgetownlaw.bsky.social iPIP Clinic, future lawyers are stepping up to defend access, equity & preservation. @lilabailey.bsky.social explains why that matters now more than ever: blog.archive.org/2025/04/05/d... #NationalLibraryWeek

Petition and letter writing fatigue is real, and this one could really make a difference. The current mayor uses library funding as a political football every year. Let’s stop this and demand better for one of the last genuinely public spaces we have! 💌 actionnetwork.org/letters/dema...

“The Japanese American National Museum says Trump admin may withhold as much as $2 million approved by the Biden admin.” “Facing pressure to scrub its website of diversity and inclusion references, a JANM leader says the museum will ‘scrub nothing.’” www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

If you have (or had) and IMLS, NEH, or NSF grant you need to talk to your campus leadership now about what happens when you get doxxed.

It’s so weird how we’re all just working like this is still a normal country.

RFK Jr's move to eliminate the Administration for Community Living, which helps disabled & aging people stay at home instead of being institutionalized, is disastrous. I'm never done shouting about what my mom's institutionalization took from her & from us (so here's my @teenvogue.com piece again).

The David Smith and @us.theguardian.com sounds the alarm about authoritarians attacking the Smithsonian…by quoting only male historians.

“I’ve always been fascinated by the ways white women are the middle managers of hierarchies of oppression.” — @michaelhobbes.bsky.social, Goop episode (09.03.22)

I’m so jealous of Tim Walz right now. I can’t imagine how good it must feel to have Elon Musk go on TV and say that you - specifically - hurt his feelings so bad.

I got an out-of-office email today from a librarian at Columbia University, where the medieval manuscript I recently edited is housed, and it concluded with this message. Columbia’s administration might not know what time it is, but its librarians do.

it’s the only reason

In this Ohio diner, a code talker is someone who won't shut up about Python. But they do know this: any acknowledgement of the achievements of people who are not white men is DEI.

The library and the post office are the only two systems we have that circulate things widely and to everyone, no matter who they are or what they believe. The library is the only one that, for now, is not forced to pay for itself at point of sale. Attacks on IMLS are attacks on every one of us.

So the government is moving to their pink triangle and Star of David phase… “Demands further include a mask ban policy…and that individuals wearing masks for religious and health reasons display their Columbia University ID visible on their clothing.” www.columbiaspectator.com/news/2025/03...

Remember Aaron Bushnell.

You may think the Barnard & Columbia protesters are mostly rich white kids. Some of them are, but the students getting expelled: mostly first generation, low income students of color. 🇵🇸

They expelled Robert Burke in 1936 for protesting the German Nazi party and never readmitted him. They hospitalized students in the 60's for protesting. This is who they are historically.

Tell @columbiauniversity.bsky.social they continue to be on the wrong side of history by violating longstanding agreements with the Harlem and Morningside communities and impeding access to services like medical care: actionnetwork.org/petitions/07...

RFK Jr. choosing which viruses will kill Americans.

Solution: buy. less. crap. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/01/b...

My thesaurus for, “You fell hard for the neoliberal okey-doke” is nearly exhausted.
