it is, among other things, incredibly striking to see that roberts was so solicitous of the burden the clean power plan might put on fossil fuel executives, when, a decade later, he is indifferent to the way trump’s moves have thrown hundreds of thousands of lives into turmoil.

they got the Church of England supporting the Pope now

Love your neighbour, love your God, save your soul and quit your job. (And then blow the goddamn whistle as loud as you can.)

AOC: “This is a threat of genocide & merits removal from office. The President’s mental faculties are collapsing & cannot be trusted. To every individual in the President’s chain of command: You have a duty to refuse illegal orders. That includes carrying out this threat”

everything we are seeing now is the consequence of having a political environment in which indifference to the deaths and suffering of other people - even by the state whose supposed responsibility is to safeguard their welfare - is a superpower rather than a political liability

This is: 1. Deeply moving. 2. The first time I've ever seen a real-life astronaut be anything other than serious or happy in space. Obviously they have been (they're human), but folks on earth have only ever seen this in movies or on TV. Imagine watching your tears of grief float around you.

okay MyShake definitely works!

The loud phone alarm for that earthquake came a good few seconds before we actually felt it in San Francisco - 4.9 near Santa Cruz - small jolt then shaking. Okay, now I am definitely wide awake. #quakesky

Happy #TDOV to all my trans, non-binary, two-spirit friends and family members and especially my @transepiscopal.bsky.social peeps. Wishing you love and joy. 💜💜💜 ⚓️

Infuriating. This is our labor history — the location of the Bread & Roses strike in 1912.

"We started a war of aggression for no reason & commenced it by accidentally bombing an elementary school & killing over 100 kids." That simple fact is so horrific that it's just kind of bouncing on the surface of our collective consciousness. We can't absorb its full implications & significance.

This puts me at 10 people released. I filed my 1st habeas petition 29 days ago. I am an incredibly small-time, nobody lawyer who knew nothing about immigration law the day I submitted that case. I barely know any more today. I had never sued the federal government and now I've beaten them 10 times.

I do live in beautiful city

New York Attorney General Letitia James is investigating the death of Nurul Amin Shah Alam, a Blind Rohingya refugee who died in the cold streets of Buffalo days after Border Patrol dumped him without coordinating with his family or lawyers.

A budget is a moral document.

So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion. That's roughly $1 billion per day. $41,666,667 per hour. $11,574 per second. People do not want this. They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

A lot of people say AI isn't very good for the world and its outputs are routinely unreliable, but these haters fail to see how it's revolutionizing how we incinerate schoolchildren.

I have never seen a politician more directly copy this speech in my life

Action alert from the Episcopal Church’s Public Policy Network on the attacks on Iran today: “Condemn Attack on Iran and Assert War Powers” ⚓️ www.episcopalchurch.org/ministries/o...

I can’t stop thinking about this.

The Washington Post's description of the bodycam video of his arrest last year, and the translation of Mr. Shah Alam's comments, is gutting. Remember, he was entirely blind in one eye and could only see three feet in the other, and he spoke virtually no English. He spent a year in jail for this.

They dropped off Nurul Amin Shah Alam, a blind refugee who didn't speak English, at a CLOSED Tim Hortons. 5 miles away from his home. He never made it. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

The richest man owns X. The second and third richest men control Google. The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

I would like to have a word with the insurance genius who decided that teeth don't really count as "health care"

🧵 - if these aren't local to you or hitting the right niche, find one that does. Engage in direct aid. Give your time & help & advocacy. Get involved in any way you can & help people.

Last month, a Pennsylvania farmer rejected $15M from data center developers to sell his farmland. Another in Wisconsin turned down $80M. America's farmers and others across the country are pushing back on Big Tech. This is what integrity looks like.

vindictive, vicious cruelty designed to humiliate and criminalize every trans person in kansas horrifying fascist shit reminiscent of the runup to the literal holocaust

Fuck this and everyone who helped get things to this point. Trans rights are human rights—full stop.

One would think that this would merit an emergency convening of all Blue state governors, Attorneys generals and Congressional representatives. It's a declaration of war on one state which means they'll do it to others too.

“Our opposition calls us paid protesters,” she said. “They cannot comprehend or understand that this is coming from the deepest corners of people’s souls. They cannot get their heads around it.”

However angry you are, you're not angry enough.

Please read this article to the end. Even before ICE got involved, this started because this *blind man who speaks no English and uses a curtain rod as a walking stick* got lost on a walk and some Karen called the police on him and they tasered and beat him bc he didn’t drop the rod. WTF

"My fellow Americans, we’re bringing money back to our country. We’re using a thing called tariffs. Here’s how it works: You have to pay more for things, and that money becomes the people’s money. (The people are my family and me.)"

The disappearance of Larry Summers from public life cannot happen fast enough.

🚨 Last call! Registration closes at midnight Eastern Time tonight for the upcoming TRANS//FIGURED spiritual retreat which is being offered by the Gender Justice Office of the Episcopal Church. There are just a few spots left — over 50 have already registered representing 26 dioceses! ⚓️

Abortion was phase I, trans healthcare was phase II, birth control is phase III

"Christofascism "knows the cross only as a magical symbol of what Jesus has done for us, not as a sign of the poor man who was tortured to death as a political criminal... [it is] a betrayal of the disappointed, a miracle weapon in the service of the mighty." — Dorothee Sölle

these people treat being called racist like it is a slur, and treat slurs like they're mere differences of opinion

33 of the people pardoned by Trump for January 6 have committed more crimes including molesting children and killing people while drunk driving.

In competitive authoritarianism (US right now) there's often a "loyal opposition" that's essential to the regime. They are so wedded to "decorum," they go along with rites & rituals that help regime prop up veneer of normalcy, undermining clear view of regimes actions & aims.

Being from Massachusetts I understand all of this too well (all the kids in my Main South, Worcester neighborhood played hockey; we loved the 1980 team; of course I grew up a Red Sox fan). Can’t wait for the Valkyries season and wish we had a PWHL team here in the Bay.

As Kash Patel actively covers up the murders of Minnesotans, the Minnesota Wild GM invites him into the USA locker room. Awful look.

It’s both funny and cosmically correct that the U.S. men’s hockey chodes will have to sit through 2+ hours of rambling from their addled little king while the U.S. Women’s team gets to skip the speech and party with Flavor Flav in Vegas

Aliya Rahman, woman who was dragged out of car by ICE in Minneapolis: "I've spent the last month learning the names of the tendons in my shoulder, because both of my shoulders are torn -- cartilage and tendons. But what I haven't learned is the names of the people who did this to me."

Henceforth, I will be describing the way that U.S. men’s hockey spectacularly squandered good will, brand recognition, and fan loyalty as “pulled a Target.” They pulled a Target.
