I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath. I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.

Frustrated that my Detroit Tigers post baseball stuff on Threads but not on Bluesky. I see the @redsox.com and @reds.com post here so it’s not an MLB policy to *not* post here. Let’s do it, Tigers! 🐅 #RepDetroit www.threads.net/@tigers/post...

I feel so haunted by the old “haha Brooks Brothers Riot” framing. Ultra-wealthy creeps who do not go to national parks, fly commercial, buy groceries, ride the subway, get normal healthcare, need FEMA, or send their kids to public school are looting all those goods, plus all our data.

President Trump said he will continue to restrict The Associated Press’ access to his events and news conferences until the outlet goes along with his renaming of the Gulf of Mexico in its reports. He acknowledged that the move was a presidential retaliation against AP's editorial policy.

This week, we look at why people use "literally" when they mean "figuratively." Plus, we look at how amateur radio operators came to be known as "hams" and why the term stuck. Watch: youtu.be/PbraIcyXmFc Read: grammar-girl.simplecast.com/episodes/lit... Listen: bit.ly/41maG23

It’s high time we start being honest about what’s behind a lot of the push towards “wellness”. It’s ableism and eugenics. Its scared people who can’t face the fact that they could lose their health at any moment. It’s people who desperately need to cling to control. 🧵
