This is so helpful. Thank you!

This is bad ass

Over 400 women have been arrested since they overturned Roe v Wade— yet not a SINGLE man has been arrested for raping children with Epstein.

“It took a bit, but then the gasp of realization: They were looking at “Gugusse and the Automaton,” a long-lost film by the iconic French filmmaker George Méliès at his Star Film company. The 45-second film, made around 1897…”

And today the site no longer exists. Any idea what might have happened?

It's laid out like a slave ship on land. As I said, a concentration camp.

I meant to include the TOC! Please see below.

😲 This is THE most amazing thing I've seen this year. (And that's saying something!) A ResistDance retelling of ICE murdering Renee Good & Alex Pretti enacted through dance‼️😭 Performed by First Amendment Troop in DC. 🤍

💯this: “That is why a defense of gender studies is not a parochial feminist project, but a vital stand that extends to the ‘validity of the entire American system’ as a democracy, one based on aspirations for equality and justice for all. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

They will be warehousing people. And treating them as objects. These are concentration camps.

Why ppl really should read/learn at least some Shakespeare. Sir Ian McKellen is amazing here. Savor this moment.

Remember her name: Aliya Rahman Her testimony is everything and it deserves to be heard, by everyone. Decide for yourself. It’s powerful. It’s gut-wrenching. And no one should have to survive what she did. ICE MUST GO‼️

TAMU ended our women and gender studies program, degrees and certificates today. Apparently they aren’t allowed under the new don’t mention gender or sexuality in the classroom rules our board passed. I am so saddened by this. I worked as a grad asst to wmst (no gender in the 90s) for a few years

Now this is a movie review www.independent.co.uk/arts-enterta...

SO worth reading.

The community reaction to this was swift and loud. www.koco.com/article/ice-...

An open letter to @theguardian.com about their article last week about the Crown’s Silence, requesting that the Black scholar of Caribbean heritage who did the years of archival research behind this claim, and published it in 1979, Roger Norman Buckley, be acknowledged as the source of this reveal:

The majority of organizing happening in Minnesota isn’t just peaceful, it’s INVISIBLE. Moms showing up who won’t be interviewed on TV, people whose ICE patrols don’t turn into viral video. The grocery runs, the donations, the people filming bc they happen to be there. Please remember this.

LA art powerfully depicting how the regime is murdering the US democracy. Fuck ICE 👊🏽

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti. "Please get the truth out about our son."

Worth noting that one reason you’re benefitting so fully from the Star-Tribune’s timely, extensive coverage of unfolding events is that it’s a metro newspaper that hasn’t been systematically starved to further enrich shareholders and executives.

The sprayer is not masked and so should be fairly easy to ID.

I know people keep saying this but it’s hard to communicate the depth of active resistance here. Like, I’m on random cafes and people are checking in for observation shifts. Signs everywhere. Folks in visibility vests on the corners. It’s wild. Absolutely wild.

Jesus, legit insane

This thread is now an op-ed:

The great @usefulnoise.bsky.social made a request that we all write something about what life in Minnesota is like for folks who live elsewhere or might be outside our normal neighbothis-Bluesky footprint. So I went to cursed Facebook and wrote this. Maybe it will help you share your own thoughts.

Unions and community orgs are calling for a Minnesota-wide shutdown in 10 days to protest the ferocious assault by federal immigration agents. They're saying on Jan 23, no work, no school, no shopping. SEIU Local 26, UNITE HERE Local 17, & others are supporting, w/ more to join. By me, Amie Stager

If you are a veteran, this kind of visible presence at anti-ICE protests is really valuable. These clowns all want to play dress-up soldier, so actual soldiers mocking them to their faces is devastating.

We have to retake state legislatures. Have to. It's the only way education at any level will survive. Retake even with normie conservatives, folks! Normal people have actual jobs and don't read syllabi to fire professors! But MAGA invents problems to burn it all down!

“He raped me.” “Donald J Trump had raped her along with Jeffrey Epstein.” “She was found with her head ‘blown off’… there was no way it was a suicide.” Now we’re starting to see why Trump was hiding the Epstein files, and it probably gets much worse.

BREAKING: WATCH the full 60 Minutes CECOT segment here. This was sent to me anonymously. It appears to be the segment CBS' Bari Weiss killed. www.muellershewrote.com/p/watch-the-...

We are thrilled to announce our latest episode of the New Books in Women's History Podcast. @lcargin.bsky.social spoke with @ayahnerd.bsky.social, @lmansley.bsky.social, and and @sarahbelle721.bsky.social about the new Nursing Clio Reader! Listen here: newbooksnetwork.com/the-nursing-...

I am a student at Brown in communication with a friend at RIBC. There is an urgent need for blood donations to support RI. Donations in NY, NJ, MN, NB, DE or NJ can help supply RI. Spread the word. www.ribc.org/donate-blood/

I am heartbroken for Brown and the students, staff, and faculty who have to get through this. I hope they have everything they need to navigate such senseless brutality.

Southridge High students walked out in solidarity today—joining a wave of young people refusing to be silent while ICE storms their communities. After months of armed, masked agents targeting teens, they’re drawing a line: We protect each other. We show up. And we won’t let fear decide our future.

Be still my heart.

Whoever runs this account has to work at OU

Reupping in light of the news that SCOTUS will review birthright citizenship conferred by 14th Amendment 🗃️

Very heartened to see so many people show up at noon to the student-led protest against the administration's handling of the "religious freedom" essay-grading scandal. People are shouting "protect our professors." Other chants included, "OU, shame on you." Excuse the last few secs. of bad video.

RFK Jr: "Two weeks ago we ended, under your leadership, a twenty year war on women". Three out of five men in this shot have been accused of sexual misconduct, harassment or abusive behaviour towards women. A fourth signed into law a near-total abortion ban in his state as governor.

For my newsletter, I wrote about that college essay scandal that's gone viral and what everyone is seeming to miss: It's about ATTACKING TRANS PEOPLE!!! www.burnsnotice.com/that-viral-e...

As people have their heads in syllabi and classes, I’d like to highlight how ‘In the Land of the Lacandón: A Graphic History of Adventure and Imperialism’ (MQUP 2025) can be used in teaching. (Please repost and push this thread along.)
