Classic Trump interaction: PRESS: Did you read this thing? TRUMP: Yeah, I definitely read that thing.

People will be like ‘Bluesky is all academics & historians’ & I’ll be like, ‘You mean the people who enthusiastically tell me the coolest shit I ever heard?????’

The American Heart Association just posted this and tbh, I LOLed.

It’s my birthday this weekend so I’m off today. But Ian said everything I could have said about this BULLSHIT decision out of Virginia.

Texas eliminated 5 Democratic seats with no voter approval. Louisiana suspended election with no voter approval. Tennessee erased last majority-Black district with no voter approval. But VA Supreme Court blocks redistricting map approved by 3 million voters www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

The exact kind of behavior the Voting Rights Act was intended to and successfully stopped for 60 years. And what Chief Justice Roberts would have you believe wouldn’t happen. The Supreme Court is mostly fools or thinks the rest of the country is.

The federal government should be protecting our rights, not working aggressively to strip them away. Period.

You got a fast cart / I want a ticket to anywhere / Maybe we can make a deal / Maybe together we can get somewhere

A real banger from @jamellebouie.net www.nytimes.com/2026/04/29/o...

this is very funny as well as good evidence — you know, beyond what we can see with our own eyes — that there is not some epidemic of anti-white discrimination

"The dean of the graduate school has told faculty members not to share the memo [explaining the new rules] with prospective students and to limit talking about it with them, according to an email obtained by The Chronicle." Everybody seems very proud of the decisions they've been making

The real conservative objection to VA redistricting is pure Wilhoit: you have to obey laws & proper procedure & we don't. They can't just out and say that in public though, at least not yet, so they are desperately flailing about for some kind of cover argument.

I compared how woman were depicted as villains or victims in Shakespeare’s tragedies vs Greek tragedies. English Honors with an assist from the Classics department!

Yes you might say I am “still interested” in the book I already purchased yesterday, in the app in which you are advertising it to me, in the ecosystem under which you have all my personal and purchase information, on the device in which you are currently notifying me

Narnia for me. The food is dope, Santa is real, and my cats would be able talk to me.

Catholic leaders need to stay out of politics. Except when they are endorsing Trump or denying Democratic politicians communion.

CHRISTINA KOCH GREETING HER DOG AFTER RETURNING FROM THE MOON IM GONNA CRYYY 😭😭😭

a poem about going

Guys, there is no shortage of mediocre white dudes out there. If your electoral politics require you to vote for some mediocre white dude, and one of them turns out to be awful, say a sex pest or a Nazi or some other kind of milkshake duck, you can just find you another one. There's no shortage.

okay so AI is absolutely cratering imminently and I need all of you to PROMISE me you won't take the high road, and will laugh and rub it in their faces as much as possible. I need you to laugh and go 'WE TOLD YOU SO, BITCH" at every opportunity, PLEASE be extremely mean and ruthless

The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) has been gutted in Trump's proposed 2027 budget. It's not Groundhog Day. It's just happening again. Here's what you need to know and what you can do to take action right now. bookriot.com/2027-imls-bu...

Nuremberg was an important symbol of German nationhood so I say with 100% sincerity that this is a job for Philadelphia

Trump lost this war in every possible sense — morally, legally, politically, economically, reputationally, and strategically.

😌

Reactionary centrists and republicans spent years smearing, belittling, or dismissing anyone who properly described the Trumpism as a white supremacist project. bsky.app/profile/nbcn...

This brings me so much joy

No.

Remarkable: The public has rejected *all* the major pillars of America First Trumpism. Majorities oppose: *deportations *tariffs *war with Iran *threats to Canada and Greenland ...while NATO, vaccines, and foreign aid remain broadly popular. Some thoughts on that: newrepublic.com/article/2080...

That was not very Wild Geese by Mary Oliver of you, dude

how do you know if a meme is dank

The Washington Post Lost Over 60,000 Subscribers Following Winter Layoffs www.thewrap.com/media-platfo...

Trump posted this to Truth Social where he brazenly admits his puppet-master role over censorship & firing decisions at the FCC, CNN, CBS, Comcast & Disney, among others. So much for Bari Weiss and David Ellison's claims to be independent, free press champions.

One thing I never understood about Les Miserables is how Javert managed to convince the higher ups at the police department to commit nearly unlimited time and money to the Bread Crimes Unit.

*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...

trump has numbed me to a lot of things but the lack of fucking respect will never stop galling me

The glibness. The indifference. The carelessness. The utter lack of planning for a war against a country of 90M. The sickness of a man who acts on whim that will kill thousands not hundreds. The horror of a regime that enables this sickness. The broken body politic that votes in such malignancy.

When you have the chance, please take the time to watch Harrison Ford's remarkable, beautiful Life Achievement Award acceptance speech. #ActorAwards www.youtube.com/watch?v=dV_2...

The president, who drones on about protecting women’s sports, publicly mocked the women’s gold-medal hockey team. A reminder this was never about protecting women’s sports and it was always about transphobia and misogyny.

👀The federal judges in West Virginia, where ICE has been pulling over and detaining people on the freeway, are literally screaming about ICE's tactics. "It is an assault on the constitutional order," Judge Goodwin says. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

This behavior is so much more corrosive to a healthy society than anything undocumented immigrants have ever done.

Omg you guys didn’t have to get me anything for a Valentine’s Day! but that’s so sweet, I love it 🥰

i often think about this review

Fuck this guy, forever. And I will never forgive the senators who voted to confirm him, either.

Every photo from Minneapolis looks like this. Cops decked out with guns and full tac gear facing off against people in bathrobes, parkas, and sweatpants armed only with whistles and cell phones. Yet every verified MAGA chode on X dutifully calls it a riot or violent insurrection.

There is no support for any policy goal of the Republican party. They are weirdos and lunatics, and we shouldn't be afraid to say exactly what they want to do, because no one likes what they want to do.

A detail I don't want to get lost in this: So far, Bri and her network have helped more than 500 families with grocery deliveries and more than 300 with diapers and wipes. In just two months.
