Good morning. Go birds. Fuck ICE and all of their collaborators. It's a beautiful day to organize the working class. Decent morning on the Pelican and egret front. More content later 🪶

I said a blick-block, the blickety-blickety The blick, blick-a-block and you don't stop blockin' To the ban, ban the trollie, say up hit the button To the rhythm of the blockety beat

Jesus Christ, people. I clerked in the federal district court. The workload and time pressure is admittedly insane. But using AI to generate judicial orders is beyond the pale. Come on, clerks. Do better.

Black man w/ ANY tattoo = criminal White man w/ NAZI tattoo = troubled See the f’n problem

Hey Siri, show me an example of environmental racism.

Well If we must drag this bullshit into day two THE WORKING CLASS IS NOT FUCKING MOSTLY WHITE. THAT IS IT. WHAT THE FUCK YOU RACIST DICKBAGS. I AM IN A FUCKING CHAIR AND I WILL HOLD DOWN A WHOLE KITCHEN AND WHAT YOU WILL NOT DO IS INSULT THE EVERYONE ELSE IN MY KITCHEN YOU CLASSIST RACIST FUCKBAG

AI is like that time I woke up and found a U2 album I didn't ask for on my iPod. I don't want it. I didn't ask for it. Leave me alone.

I used to infiltrate and report on online white supremacist spaces and I used to do that bcz I knew former white supremacists (klan and Neo Nazis) that changed their minds and worked to keep other people away from those spaces-

Bringing back this thread. These so-called "crime free ordinances" are getting worse. They're the most racist laws you've never heard of, and they're most prevalent in BLUE states. And they're spreading.

Thank you for your reporting, @kissphoria.bsky.social. Whitmire is a craven coward who forgets he works for US, not the governor. He follows the capricious demands of a state who openly hates Houston and not the will of the city's people. He chases cruel goalposts that never cease moving. (con't)

One of the things that has increasingly seemed apparent in academia is the current administration has given cover to allow university admins to make all the cuts they’ve long wanted to make.

NEW: Crews showed up at 2:00 a.m. to remove the rainbow pride crosswalk in Houston's Montrose neighborhood, following a directive issued by Gov. Greg Abbott. By dawn, several people had been arrested after a demonstration and stand-off between protestors and HPD. www.chron.com/culture/arti...

The very imperfect ACA is how I got to stay being a writer, one not reliant on somebody else's health insurance.

heartbroken to learn the pope sympathizes with the poor. how can i continue to believe in god

I cannot speak on Opus Dei as an expert, but I will take this opportunity to share my work on the Alitos and their flags and what they signify. defector.com/two-bad-neig...

Samuel Alito preparing to raise absolutely the craziest flag you've ever seen at his Long Beach Island compound.

I am beyond excited (and nervous!) to announce that my first book, "The House Archives Built and Other Thoughts on Black Archival Possibilities" is available for sale! This series of essay includes reworked talks, new reflections, and a lot of my heart weherespace.myshopify.com/products/the...

Yep. All they have left to sell is surveillance.

tired: cybertrucks WIRED: who drives a cybertruck? everyone from a dude who says “women don’t like the vehicle” to another dude who says it’s “just a vehicle” and shouldn’t be political but also plead guilty to a january 6 capitol attack charge and was later pardoned by trump

BREAKING from PP We found immigration agents have held more than 170 *citizens* The govt doesn't track citizens held. So we did. We tallied: Nearly 20 kids, two w/ cancer More than 20 citizens held for day or more, incommunicado www.propublica.org/article/immi... by @nicolefoy.bsky.social

NEW: The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. We found more than 170 such incidents since the start of the second Trump administration. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes nearly 20 children, two of whom have cancer.

Writing professor at my college who slept with all his undergrads and kept getting DUIs absolutely loved Saul Bellow. slate.com/culture/2025...

omfg I missed this the first time around 🫠

As we go into No Kings weekend (and with the influx of new followers from x) seems like a good time to resurface this. It was written in 2020 then focused on George Floyd about the media's antagonistic relationship to protest

Seconding this and adding that it really is that bad in terms of the lack of marketing for BIPOC authors esp. And as bad as it is in adult, it's worse in YA and kidlit.

if you have been to any of the big NO KINGS rallies, you understand what a hilarious mistake it is to tell people to tune in for coverage of scary black clad anarchists tearing everything apart

I'm a bit of a dissent apologist for this reason I understand the kinda nihilist dunks on them as meaningless, but i've seen too many dissents become majority opinions to think they don't have value--as doctrinal roadmaps, as mobilizing tools, as records of the truth when the majority lies, etc.

i dont think its unreasonable to demand that nazis be driven from public office

Not seeing this news getting out. At least 51 people had to be rescued by boat; ~1400 people in shelters so far. FEMA, what FEMA? That money was all dumped into ICE’s pockets. alaskapublic.org/news/public-...

It’s almost like billionaires and strong vibrant institutions of civil society can’t coexist

gonna link you some slop here in a thread so you can all hate it as much as i do. don’t make an account for this shit

Hey hey! Been a while since I had a map with some sea monsters on it but here we are. This is a replica of “Caerte van Oostlant” (Arnold Nicolai, 1560). #mapmonsters #cataloging

Why would a billionaire want a functioning paper? Functioning papers cover shit like “did you know this billionaire makes his workers pee into bottles instead of taking a break” and “you pay way more tax than a guy with ten yachts”

Wednesday is gonna be a rough day: The Supreme Court will be hearing oral argument in a pair of cases that threaten what little remains of the federal government’s ability to protect voters from racial gerrymandering under the Voting Rights Act ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/louis...

“No Kings” is great , but we really don't get a functioning democracy back until we internalize, bone deep, the instinctive response to this and every other statement like it: “I don’t care what that rich guy thinks.” Make it your morning affirmation. Say it ten times at the top of every hour.

omg 🤣 attn: @chaoticgoldy.bsky.social

If you post Sora AI videos I am legally allowed to open hand slap you as hard as I physically can

I like how the news will be like “while the President claiming Portland was ruled by a giant skeleton named Mr Nibbles is not strictly true, it does speak to the anxiety of many Americans”

This shows more awareness than the major media companies reports.

this sucks ass, man. every day is such a huge bummer now. can somebody deal with the problems please

It's pretty pathetic that bluesky instantly censors jokes about elon "make comedy legal" musk, but ultimately i guess this is kinda funnier with the [censored] tags so maybe they're doing me a favor by coddling that incontinent nazi

Gavin Newsom is the AI of the Democratic party: He's shiny and does stuff that I guess could be considered cool even though it just mimics the work of others, but he also sucks and he's absolutely not inevitable despite the folks telling us that we have to accept that he is.

Could someone point me to stories about men politicians being rude to staff? I’ve seen stories like this about Harris, Klobuchar, Porter…am I supposed to believe all the men are perfectly well-behaved?

Sign. Join. Go to the meeting. The first instinct is to keep your head down, get the work done, hope someone louder or smarter or whatever helps. But that's the coordination problem of fascism: if you, yes you, ordinary person who's never done this before, do nothing then we all lose.

Last night, my team filed a motion to defend voters in California. DOJ sued 8 states. My firm has filed to protect voters in all 8 states. We will never back down from the fight to protect free and fair elections.

If you know anyone who attends a HBCU send them this. Don’t debate tbose “debate bros” who are there for clout and content. You won’t change their minds. It’s all about “rage bait” not DEbate..
