We are experiencing an assault on science unparalleled by anything I’ve seen in my life. It’s not one issue or another anymore, the entire institution is under attack by the most powerful individuals in the country. This Friday, where will you be? standupforscience2025.org

Currently on view at various bus stops in London.

It’s easy to meet his disgusting form of sadism with hatred. I often feel that way. But if that’s all we have, then we are trapped inside his sick logics. We are bigger than that. Dig deep into the best your imaginations. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Can’t make this shit up.

Thailand has become the first country in southeast Asia to hold legal same-sex weddings, with LGBT groups aiming to mark the occasion with more than 1,000 marriage registrations in a single day

Why isn't every Dem social media feed in the country elevating Budde's call-out of Trump right now?

Brake up with Fake News Danish national lexicon will no longer advertise on social media. This decision follows Meta's decision to deprioritise fact-checking. Going forward, Lex.dk will spend its advertising budget on independent, national media that are committed to democracy.

Rest in peace Jimmy Carter, a model of hope and integrity, so sorely needed in these troubled times.

Well said Anna!

Annual motto for 2025: Thanks to @debthompsonphd.bsky.social What’s your motto for this year friends? unlawfulentries.bsky.social @jnovkov.bsky.social

BREAKING: FBI Director Christopher Wray says he will resign before Trump takes office wapo.st/4fgeG7E

BREAKING: Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema have cast decisive votes against Biden's NLRB nominee. This means the Democrats will not secure control of the national labor regulator through 2026. These two Senators effectively handed Trump control of the board when his term begins.

Important study with significant real world implications. All concerned about this issue should read and reskeet @unlawfulentries.bsky.social

1/ Astra Taylor’s take is a good meditation on US Thanksgiving Day: “Solidarity is the only thing that can save us. If you look back at history, solidarity has propelled essentially all social progress that we now celebrate or take for granted. And it is what we need to move forward.”

What happened to Bad Sisters? Watched first couple of eps from Season 2, they don’t stand up to brilliance of Season 1. What are you watching lately? @unlawfulentries.bsky.social @jnovkov.bsky.social @annakirkland.bsky.social @matthewbudman.bsky.social

Is there still a modicum of health in the political system, or is just that Matt Gaetz so roundly hated in Congress?

Trump is now under 50% in the national vote (and will continue trending downward a little more), for anyone keeping count of his 'mandate.'

This is a great starter pack go.bsky.app/9oFYM1Z

Hello current and possible friends! I’ve had a go at creating a “starter pack” of queer scholar activist types who I know (so forgive all the omissions). It’s a small and growing list. Let’s build a fab and fun queer scholarly-activist community! 🌈✨ go.bsky.app/Ke4Ctey

Fun fact: If someone quotes a post of yours in a way that is unwelcome (as is commonplace on Twitter/X) there is a tool to combat the unwanted attention. Simply click the three dot menu on the quote post & click "Detach quote". This removes your post from their quote post. Useful to know, do share!

Folks: we hate doing these posts, but now is the time to rebuild our pro-democracy community right here on BlueSky. No more leaving our future in the hands of Elon Musk. If you are able, please follow, repost this, and let your followers know we are here. Let's do this!

my little contribution to “starter packs”: people interested or working on #republicanism (and close topics) in #politicaltheory and #history. *thx @tomaashby.bsky.social for giving names and also making community (check out Tom’s starter packs) **I’ll keep updating it share! go.bsky.app/Jc4aPQb

@erinadam0.bsky.social @efkjr.bsky.social @drandrewrflores.bsky.social After more of us migrate over to Bluesky, I’ll make a starter pack so we can be sure to all be connected. Start now by mentioning anyone you want in comments below and we’ll get started.

BREAKING: SCOTUS rejects RFK Jr.'s request to be removed from the Wisconsin and Michigan ballots. There are no noted dissents in the Wisconsin case. Justice Gorsuch dissents in the Michigan case.

All the pretense is gone. Trump is out right running on an ethnic cleansing platform. Even European extreme-right parties haven’t gone this far. The most desperate he gets, the darker he gets. This is going to get extremely scary and extremely ugly.

Trump’s Director of White House personnel John McEntee has posted a video saying “Sorry, we want male only voting. The 19th might have to go.” That’s certainly a strategic choice one week before the election.

Comedian opening the Trump rally: "These Latinos, they love making babies too. There’s no pulling out, they don’t do that, they come inside, just like they did to our country." Then a joke about a "floating island of garbage, I think it’s called Puerto Rico."
