Well, there it is. Sinclair is digging in for a fight, so please help push back -- find stations in your area, watch their local news to see what ads they run, then write those advertisers to tell them you're boycotting as long as they're on a Sinclair station. List here: sbgi.net/tv-stations/

Everyone, I wanted to let you know about the sad news that despite everyone's best efforts Bluestockings will close at the end of the year: www.bluestockings.com - I want to thank every single person who sent books to them through my book drive [will share more later]. A tremendous loss to NYC.

The Department of Justice has removed a study showing that white supremacist and far-right violence “continues to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism” in the United States. 🔗 www.404media.co/doj-deletes-...

Trump’s cruel mass detention and deportation agenda has reached a previously unimaginable deadly scope and scale. The human toll and cost to all Americans continues to be shocking.

BREAKING: Kilmar Abrego Garcia's defense team cites Trump forcing out the prosecutor who refused to charge Tish James without evidentiary support right from the jump of the last motion to dismiss.

I have a piece on this coming out this afternoon, but if you are faculty or a student at Angelo State in Texas or know one and have information that you'd like to share with a journalist related to ASU's new "policies" my signal is kissphoria.57

Up & @ 'em, Skeeple! Pre-orders are hugely important to the life of a book, and things are objectively falling apart, so think about who in your life needs a copy, and pre-order away!

Disney now has a 5 step process to cancel their account. I walk you through it because it shouldn't be this annoying. Also, after you cancel, invest in people *actually* committed to free speech. Welcome your support to my daily human rights newsletter ❤️✊🏽 www.qasimrashid.com/subscribe

Earlier this year, ProPublica found that the sepsis rate in second-trimester pregnancy loss hospitalizations increased by more than 50% under Texas’ abortion ban. Here’s how we did our analysis. (Published Feb. 2025)

Right-Wing Extremist Violence Is More Frequent and More Deadly Than Left-Wing Violence, Data Shows | Based on government and independent analyses, right-wing extremist violence has been responsible for approximately 75% to 80% of U.S. domestic terrorism deaths since 2001.

This is what we need from elected officials -- a commitment to stand up for their constituents and, just as important, a willingness to tell right-wing trolls to get bent.

Stonewall happened because trans and cisqueer people showed up for each other across lines of difference and recognized their collective queer liberation could only happen if they took collective risk to oppose systems of harm. medium.com/prismnpen/ma...

Walz: This is North Korea style stuff. And it's being done because this is a weak, thin skinned man who's failing as a president. All of the things he promised are not happening. It's a it's our most cherished freedom to point out very clearly, this is a terrible president

The Black in Neuro conference was both a victory lap marking the organization’s growth and a sober assessment of the political landscape. www.statnews.com/2025/09/17/b...

Trump: "When you have a network, and you have evening shows, and all they do is hit Trump... They're not allowed to do that."

What can we do today, to mitigate the harms, so we can get to another day, when we can put them behind us? -- @schiff.senate.gov

"I have 40-plus years left on this planet Earth. I don't want to live like that. I don't think any of us do. I think it's more about how do you want to wake up every day and tell your kids what you did in this time period." Found this deeply moving from @bencollins.bsky.social 🥹

Or…and hear me out now…they could just bring him back

HOW am I just now hearing about this?!

"One... we are the people Two... a little bit louder Three... we want justice For our neighbors!!"

Just a friendly Friday afternoon reminder from your friendly neighborhood lawyer to keep your doors phones & computers locked don’t let anyone in you don’t know & ask anyone who claims to have a warrant to slide it under the door first! Make sure address is correct & it is dated & signed by a judge

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

Once again… All folks had to do was vote for the super qualified Black Lady with a degree in economics.

My buddy @toddalcott.bsky.social is an incredible graphic artist (and a damn good writer too). Most of his works are in the spirit of old pulp novels and LP covers. Lately, they’ve taken a turn toward current events. Stay loud—and never stop talking about the Epstein files.

C'mon, people, you know you want shing yin khor out here creating!!

Congratulations @itsafronomics.bsky.social on launch day for "The Double Tax"!!! Keep soaring, inspiring and informing!

BIG NEW YORKERS AGAINST ICE rally at 6 pm, Thursday, 9/25 at Foley Square in NYC, friends! Please do come through! If you've never been to a rally, why not start here? It's 2025 and it's time. We all gotta stand up for all of us.

Happy Mexican Independence Day... And Happy National Voter Registration Day! It's vital to check if you are still registered. Republicans are purging voters from the voting rolls so double check &check for friends & family!

Up & @ 'em, Skeeple! Y'all know about the Thurman Perry foundation, right? thurmanperryfoundation.org How are YOU prioritizing taking care of each other?

"Don’t want Marco Rubio to be personally responsible for revoking people’s passports based on thought crimes? Call your reps about it!"

The Supreme Court just made it easier for ICE to stop you … for being brown. The Court sided with ICE, letting them continue targeting people based on race, language, where they are, or the kind of work they do. This ruling is a setback, but it’s not the end.

Watch him say it. Find your love, choose your bravery. youtu.be/6xpE2-IGPy8?...

Here is an essay on The Why. To survive this time, you've got to work on the internal first. Know your why. What you believe in, yes, but more importantly - why. What principles, what emotions, what ideas guide you? Find your why. Hold onto your love. And do it fucking scared.

More local cops than ever before are signing up to work with ICE. At the end of the Biden presidency, ICE had just 135 287(g) deals in place; now there are 1,001—a 641 percent increase.

I have written and deleted a lot of posts but I keep thinking about how the brutal assassination of Minnesota State senator Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark, and their beloved dog Gilbert in June did not prompt this same level of calls for empathy, sympathy, and flags at half-mast.

When both of these sane, smart women, Heather Cox Richardson and Joanne Freeman converse, it gives me hope for the future. www.youtube.com/live/dPf4yQn...

I'll just leave this here.

Summed this up perfectly about Charlie Kirk. 👍 👇 #cdnpoli

Yay, I have been looking forward to snagging some of these... thanks for making them exist, @dynamoe.bsky.social!

Andrea Pitzer's perspective (for me, via her podcast Next Comes What) has been super-helpful to me as I think about how to respond to [waves hands around] all this.

Who in NYC will organize a public library propaganda fair where people who appreciate libraries can distribute/trade/cheaply sell posters, stickers, buttons, zines, art, etc??? This would be so much fun. Someone make this happen, lol.

People get ready...

The Show Me State is showing up for our democracy.
