Rubio’s refusal to properly honor Foreign Service Day & the 300+ FSOs who died while serving, is an affront to their service. Now, he's firing 250 of these non-partisan civil servants while we are in the middle of a war that is testing our alliances & endangering Americans around the world. [1/2]

In her latest investigation for @prismreports.org, @tatiwm.bsky.social reports on the predatory prison telecom companies that now have philanthropic arms that provide minuscule grants to organizations serving systems-impacted communities—the very communities their services exploit. Give it a read!

Fascinating post. Especially consideration of the downstream crafters involved in fashion. Still seems wasteful to me but art is art. ones own opinions only decide enjoyment

Visas revoked for journalistic outlet board members who criticized Trump allies. Very bad for First Amendment freedoms of the press & to speak truth to power. Fits alongside the attacks on Mahmoud Khalil, Rumeysa Ozturk, & tech researchers for their free speech. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/04/w...

A survivor of the Kent State Massacre rings the bell on campus today, May 4, at exactly 12:20, the moment his classmates fell, 56 years ago.

The Espionage Act has been used for decades to target journalists and whistleblowers who expose wrongdoing. Use our action center tool to tell lawmakers to pass the Daniel Ellsberg Press Freedom and Whistleblower Protection Act and reform the archaic law.

Incarcerated people stopped believing they deserved soap and toilet paper when the government controlled the news they could watch, writes @joinjeremy.org's Jeremy Busby. People on the outside may stop believing they deserve democracy.

So the argument is it’s only “using race” to try to intentionally empower urban Black voters, but it’s not racist to intentionally drown them out with rural white power? The gaslighting is so wild. @GovBillLee @MarshaBlackburn @SenJohnson @WilliamLamberth @RepFaison

Every time someone on BlueSky responds to a news story with “Paywall,” I personally show up where they work and demand they give me something free.

Israel must release Zeteo contributor Alex Colston and the rest of the flotilla activists and crew. This is piracy:

#Iran authorities execute 2 more men Yaghoub Karimpour and Nasser Bekrzadeh hanged early Saturday - They accused of spying for #Israel Alongside China for the highest rate of per capita executions in the world, Iran has stepped up use of the death penalty during the US-Israel War #IranWar

If America is so racist, then how come a wealthy white man has been lavishing me with gifts ever since his company started having cases before the Supreme Court, on which I sit? by Clarence Thomas

happy may day. unionize.

I am truly embarrassed for our country.

Remember when Trump kept promising that NO tax dollars would be used for his ballroom because he already had $400 million in private donations? So I guess one of the impeachment investigations will be, "what happened to the $400 million in private donations?"

I ordered 1 yesterday with the bookshop.org free shipping sale. Looking forward to reading/learning from it once this much too long semester is finally over!

Any member of Congress that votes for a clean FISA reauthorization is voting to hand Kash Patel, Stephen Miller and Donald Trump the power to spy on Americans without a warrant on a silver platter.

In another massive data set of more than 1.5 million children ‌born between 1997 and 2022, the use of Tylenol during pregnancy was NOT associated with autism, even after accounting for ​individual risk factors. Autism was diagnosed in 1.8% of children exposed to Tylenol and 3% of the unexposed group.

What in the absolute fuck?!?!?! I hate these fucks soooooo fucking much! The Ohio Republican party is as evil as can be!

Billie Little had worked for Thomson Reuters for about two decades. She was fired after questioning whether federal immigration agents unlawfully used their products.

Today is Indie Bookstore Day! It's cool and rainy but the N is miraculously running into Queens from Manhattan so if you're venturing around NYC, take it to 36th Ave. astoriabookshop.com/events/50291...

This post referred to the suspension of one of my favorite accounts, @mrsbettybowers.bsky.social. May it return, the sooner the better!

Israel performed a literal quadruple tap attack in Lebanon to massacre three separate sets of medics. Truly pushing the bounds of human depravity. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

🧵 The arguments behind landmark Supreme Court rulings have never been freely available… until now. More than 125,000 #SCOTUS records & briefs (1830–2019) are now open on the Internet Archive. Full announcement ⤵️ blog.archive.org/2026/04/20/u... @wolflawlibrary.bsky.social

Ohio House Bill (HB) 754 would require all fetal deaths to be registered. trib.al/7dv7BI1 “It’s incredibly cruel to women who have miscarriages and still births, and people who are struggling to get pregnant and maybe have lots of miscarriages and stillbirths, to force them to have paperwork."

it's rarely brought up that the need to slap fake bylines on AI content is a tacit admission that no one wants to read it

When the Italian side of my family moved to America they settled in the part of the Bronx that AOC now represents and I would just like to say, based on the photo on the left, thank you congresswoman for respecting my ancestors.

To be a bit self-serving, this exact argument is why I'm launching stopthetrillionaires.com

Sorry to be overly sincere for a second, but here's why we decided to persevere through all of the bullshit and take over InfoWars. There's just gotta be a line somewhere. Thank you @pablo.show for letting me talk so openly about this.

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

They fear Gender Studies because it unapologetically exposes the real reasons why all of these middle-aged men would indignantly wear clown shoes solely for the approval of other men.

This had incredible sound

The Coachella music festival is in the news with the minimum price of sold out 3-day ticket costing $549. Contrast that with "Nicolas" who is currently harvesting onions in the Coachella area and getting paid $22 for a $900lb crate. #WeFeedYou #coachella2026

I do not want to create an account or open a subscription I just want to buy a thing and never hear from you again why is this so hard.

The U.S. Has Murdered 178 People in 52 Boat Strikes. We’re Tracking Them All. @theintercept.com is keeping count of all U.S. attacks on boats in the Caribbean Sea and Pacific Ocean. theintercept.com/2025/11/17/t...

The Pope saying blessed are the peacemakers isn’t getting newly political, it’s just being Christian. Similar to how George W. Bush saying his dad treated everyone with respect wasn’t a political statement, it was just eulogizing his father. Basic values are considered political and partisan now.

Chuck Schumer's two votes tonight in favor of bombs and bulldozers to Israel is yet another reason Senate Democrats must vote to remove him as leader post the midterms.

Despite promising to tell users before giving their data to law enforcement, Google handed Amandla Thomas-Johnson's data to ICE in 2025 without giving him the chance to challenge the government's invalid subpoena. We're urging the AGs of CA and NY to investigate Google for deceptive trade practices.

This story is horrific. Worth noting that Target is not the only retailer using AI for theft prevention. It’s an entire industry. And if you’re looking for alternatives that are safer to shop at in this regard, you’re very likely out of luck. Small, non-corporate businesses probably your best bet.
