Who will primary Landsman?

I really really want the world to know that *those federal fuckers have not left*. They are changing tactics. More disguises. Smaller tactical pairs. Smarter tactics. Reposts welcome, but more importantly share this with folks NOT on Bsky who think we are safe. youtu.be/5l7JuNrrD6I

Due to their hatred of democracy, Republican voter suppression is happening in Dallas County, Texas. 33% of voters are being turned away due to confusion about where to vote. The confusion was done intentionally by Republicans. A judge has ordered polling places are to now stay open until 9pm. 1/2

The BSO will perform Philip Glass's Symphony No. 15 at Tanglewood this summer. The press release is tactful enough not to mention that it was originally to be performed at the Kennedy Center by the NSO. Glass withdrew it for reasons you're probably familiar with. 1/ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symphon...

I published a few articles in 2025 that I didn't publicize enough. It's never too late! Read about second careers of musicians; what it's like portraying Sister Helen Prejean in "Dead Man Walking," and how three singers have developed their careers: irontongue.blogspot.com/2026/03/back...

This may be the most awesome dog video I have ever watched.

My favorite part here is Justice Thomas joining the majority to endorse a substantive due process right without any explanation after basically saying that substantive due process is evil and incoherent in his lone Dobbs concurrence.

Truly don't know why it's hard for people to say "yes, the Islamic Republic is bad and has done horrific things and the Iranian people deserve freedom and also I'm skeptical that Trump's actions will enable that"

A woman’s ex boyfriend, who is a cop, threatens to shoot her Women are at the highest risk for being killed when they try to leave a relationship. She calls 911 for help & the Police Chief WARNS the boyfriend instead. Boyfriend opened fire on her car We aren’t angry enough.

A federal judge has revoked Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s ability to restrict members of Congress from entering ICE facilities. While DHS appealed immediately, others hailed the ruling as a tribute to common sense. trib.al/LzwAwPO

Oh FFS. From a NYer article on Sheet Hite: "[Jacques Barzun] told her he had read her master’s thesis but doubted that she had written it; he did not believe the University of Florida library could have held the books she cited." What a misogynistic jerk.

Wednesday March 4, 6:30 pm! For Women's History Month and co-sponsored by Under the Rainbow, I'm at the Edmonds Library in conversation with the ever-fabulous @kelleyeskridge about the importance of seeing women, especially queer women, in historical fiction.

OFFS. When Iran tried to interefere in 2020, researchers caught them and called them out. Then the Benz-Weiss-Taibbi-Musk-Jordan-Trump axis labeled those researchers "censors" ... and set about defunding them and dismantling their organizations.

Uh no...we definitely realize it.

The idea's out there today that the job of an op-ed page is to publish pieces making the case for (as well as against) every topic or proposal that's in the news, "even if the policy is bad." This may seem reasonable and it's a thing I struggled with when I was an op-ed editor, so I have thoughts. +

I don't think people's problem with, for example, the paper's decade-long crusade putting a big ol' target on trans people's backs can be accurately described as NYT doing "reporting that doesn't always 100% accord with what advocacy groups want."

Anna Paulina Luna (real name Anna Paulina Mayerhofer) was a stripper in 2014 at the Red Rose Gentleman’s Club in Fort Walton Beach, FL. She claimed to be Jewish while her grandpa was a Nazi 👇 Then she claimed to be Cuban... Luna is a professional liar. www.vanityfair.com/news/2023/02...

Did you know that the bees that need saving are NOT honeybees? Honeybees are the dairy cows of bees. People brought them over from Europe to make us honey. The problem with honeybees, esp in resource-limited ecosystems (like hey! cities!) is that they compete with our native bees for food.

Yeah, no. Half the Democrats in California hate him because he is ready to throw trans people under the bus and pals around with the fascist right on his podcast.

To note: doctors are mandated reporters. Every single one of these ethical failures need to lose their license to practice.

When Trump came to power, he ripped up the peace deal that Obama had made, and used the uncertainty he created as an excuse to bomb Iran, insisting he had ended the problem he had created once and for all, except now he's bombing them again to solve the problem he created and previously solved?

Years ago our admin did a red and black report. It took salaries & how much $ each instructor made in tuition $ for classes we taught-you were in the red or black. They released numbers once & shut it down bc humanities were producing huge $ for uni & engineers, business and scientists were losing $

New, from me: Why is American attacking Iran? It helps to have a coherent reason, to justify to the US public the costs in money and blood, to allies about the potential long-term risks, and to Iranians about the future of their country. Lets take a look 🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-reason...

This is right. And people hate to hear it, but Joe Biden’s single most important task was to Trump-proof the US. His task was to destroy the Republican Party to punish them for Trump, salt the earth over them, and implement big structural reforms to stop future R minority extremism. And he failed.

Google Photos served up a couple of pre-concert shots of Davies from February, 2020, and I couldn't recall what the programs were. Web search found a PDF of the season schedule and ... It was MTT's last season as MD, so it was a splurge of a season, intended to conclude with 1/

You sound like an unhinged person if you in plain words describe what’s happening, but the Trump admin demanded Anthropic’s AI be able to kill things for it w/out human approval and also do mass surveillance. Anthropic said no, and now the admin is trying to destroy the company in retaliation.

@mizzousundevil.bsky.social Thank you for that. I decided against responding to a Bluesky rando trolling me over my media choices - of course after drafting and deleting five responses. You can't win, after all.

Hegseth is mad that basically every adult under his command is *way smarter* than him. He's such a weak sad man. Real unbecoming behavior.

Everything Kelly Barnhill says here and everything Katherine Needleman said today in a scorching substack post about Kansas. Everybody has the same human rights, period, end of story. Nobody gets thrown under the bus, nobody, for any reason.
