Birthright citizenship has been part of our constitution for over 150 years. The Trump administration wants to change that. Here are the facts: bit.ly/44Tm6Mn

Pretty confident we didn't need research or a whole year to determine this, but at least this gets much of the "why" all in one article.

EXCLUSIVE: We found that Instacart is using AI algorithms to charge customers different prices for the same items. It's not just online. It's in physical grocery stores too. Our months-long investigation with @consumerreports.org and @groundwork.bsky.social found it could cost families $1200/year.

In March 2026, the first phase of the D Line Extension will open in Los Angeles a project once dismissed as impossible. Philadelphia should take note: if LA can overcome decades of skepticism to expand its subway, the Roosevelt Boulevard Subway can become a reality in the 2030s.

Your reminder that credit scores in the US date to 1989. For much of their existence, race and gender were factors. They were invented bc it had been made illegal to discriminate by race and gender in the US, so financial institutions wanted a facially neutral way to accomplish the same thing.

“Alas, one glance at today’s headlines and no one should wonder why Americans might want to escape back to their “90s summers”. The past is, after all, another country. They do things differently there.” apple.news/AZ_TGCW0dTNS...

“Voice of America (VOA) may have been used to broadcast Donald Trump’s message to Iranians in Farsi during weekend military strikes…revealing how the crumbling, traditionally independent news service is possibly functioning as a conduit for presidential messaging.” apple.news/AdxhR8CgwRk2...

Feeling drained every Monday? The issue might not be time off—but how you use it. Enter “leisure crafting”: setting intentional, energizing goals for your free time. Not to hustle harder, but to restore smarter.

"On Juneteenth...it is well to ponder that there is no longer any branch of government dedicated to protecting the life chances of those with less political power due to their race, ethnicity, gender, sexual preference, or sexual orientation. This is deeply unfortunate."

That gorgeous post by @anya1anya.bsky.social that I am reminding myself of daily.

On Juneteenth, we celebrate freedom and recommit ourselves to the work that remains undone. We remember that even in the darkest hours, there is cause to hope for tomorrow’s light.

"Donald Trump has used fake emergencies to take over the California National Guard and deploy Marines to Los Angeles. Will he use the same strategy to create a new tech-controlled city in California?" #NetworkStates www.thenerdreich.com/startup-seek...

Jack and Fiona watched as Trump and Musk turned the US into what they call “a fascist hellscape.” So they turned to tech to organize, creating @stickittofascists.com. They're one of many mobilizing online. And as millions joined the "No Kings” protests, these tools were powering the movement.

NEW: Trump Administration Abandons Deal With Northwest Tribes to Restore Salmon The administration has canceled a deal, signed under President Biden, that would have enabled the removal of four hydroelectric dams along the Columbia River that are considered harmful to salmon. With @opb.org

Amazing. They're so focused on the cameras & their effects that they're not even considering doing anything to improve the actual driving. Instead of putting in traffic-calming measures (or something) during the pause, they're going to do things to make drivers more aware of the cameras. 🤔

Gorgeous post by @anya1anya.bsky.social. "We adapt to the unforgivable, we continue on despite the unimaginable, we pray in the rubble. This is beautiful and nothing less than human, yet it is profoundly dangerous." open.substack.com/pub/thegolde...

@prisonculture.bsky.social and I have been encouraging people to read chapter six of our book, Let This Radicalize You, which deals with the question of "violence" in social movements. We have decided to share the chapter publicly, to offer some context and grounding for the current conversation.

#MindfulnessMonday -- Sometimes the best thing to do right now is not the most "important" or most "urgent" work-related tasks. Rest, relaxation, and "time wasting" play -- in moderation -- are an important part of a balanced life.

In this cozy workshop, we’ll practice easy techniques for weaving #mindfulness into your day—no matter how busy. Grounding and transmuting anxiety are the order of the day to counter stress and uncertainty.

And new research data from @chenoweth.bsky.social, @djpressman.bsky.social and Soha Hammam showing that protests (even as far back as early March) have been far more numerous and frequent than commonly understood. wagingnonviolence.org/2025/03/resi...

The media narrative around resistance has shifted dramatically in recent weeks. 50 days ago, our writers were largely alone in tracking the growing widespread nature of protest. Note @riverasun.bsky.social's effort to convince folks "sinking in defeatism" that protest was already having an impact.
