Ask me anything!

If you're not already aware, for April 2025, the #BannedBookSkyClub is reading/discussing the graphic novel #BannedBookClub by Kim, Ko, & @ryanestrada.com who very graciously volunteered to do a Q&A here on Bluesky. Link to Q&A and more information in replies.

what could your bluesky-con be about that could draw 200 people “darthcon” would have dogs to pet and fried potato dishes to sample

As long as rfk has a pulse, he will kill children, and go out of his way to specifically kill sick children.

Easy enough to ridicule but let's not lose sight of the fact that this is devastating cherry picking of falsehoods

#Microsoft #Recall is a #privacy nightmare. It's a big step closer to Black Mirror. It circumvents encryption. You can have a secure messaging app like Signal, and you can have disappearing messages, but if Microsoft immediately takes screenshots of everything, we might as well not have encryption.

Chilling. They are saying that simply taking action in opposition to US foreign policy is grounds for deportation. Think of the proud lineage of protests against US-backed wars, coups, torture... BREAKING: Mahmoud Khalil Can Be Deported, Immigration Judge Rules open.substack.com/pub/zeteo/p/...

RFK Jr. says there are no autistic poets, so we interviewed one. Hear from Elizabeth McClellan, @popelizbet.bsky.social, an award-winning poet, attorney, and legal educator based in Memphis, Tennessee.

This is something we can all do.👇🏼 File a complaint with the FL and DC Bar to have Pam Bondi disbarred for not complying with the 9-0 Supreme Court ruling to return Mr. Garcia from El Salvador.

The Trump regime is now using US Attorneys to intimidate academic journals by sending them letters demanding they explain how they ensure ‘viewpoint diversity.’ Journal editors should be public about this and coordinate to refuse to comply with these fascist tactics.

When they ban abortions and dismantle sexual violence prevention resources it’s pretty clear how they expect their desired baby boom to happen.

Can you believe Human doctored this footage to make it NOT look like I'm trying to indicate an intense battle right before bed!? RUDE! #CorgiCrew

The records show that Palantir is actively working on the technical infrastructure underpinning the Trump administration’s mass deportation efforts which could soon impact U.S. citizens. 🔗 www.404media.co/ice-just-pai...

Here’s what they’re stealing from us today. We paid for these data. They were collected for the public good. The Trump Administration are a bunch of petty burglars doing a smash-and-grab on the American people.

Bitch, Korolev was Ukrainian. Get his name out of your mouth, Putin

DHS Secretary Noem threatens to terminate Havard's Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) certification if it doesn't turn over student records.

If you're a reporter in a White House press briefing as the spokesperson for the government asserts flatly that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a member of the MS-13 gang who's guilty of human trafficking and you sit there silently without shouting out "PROVE IT!" I'd like to invite you to go fuck yourself.

If laid off federal workers want to run for office, we’ll help them do it. Let’s go. www.thebulwark.com/p/fired-gove...

RFK Jr will not shut up about autism and I am so fucking sick of it. He presents as a down low autism speaks parent who's making it his life's mission to bend reality to his point of view. What I find so insulting about his obsession is that it's really a hostility against autistic people.

Thanks shout-out, @aoc.bsky.social! In addition to defeating another anti-trans bill today, Montana Dems passed: - Tenant protections (refunding unused rental app fees) - Early childhood math education - Indian Ed for All improvements (& Language preservation) - Improved car seat safety standards

The IRS is eliminating the 'Direct File' program that allowed some people to file taxes for free. (What a sentence.) www.sfgate.com/news/politic...

Hearing the same from a direct source. People in Americorps being told they're done. It's over. No notice.

Didn’t get a chance to post this earlier, but there was a huge turnout in support of Kilmar Abrego Garcia at the federal courthouse. From my seat in the jury room, I heard the supporters outside chanting throughout the hearing.

This picture may haunt me to the end of my days. It is an ICE agent taking an axe to the car window of an immigrant in New Bedford, MA. Not far from where I sit now. An immigrant with no criminal record was abducted by this smiling man. An axe taken to a car window and to our democracy. 1/ #MomSky

I’ve been wanting to write this for a while. So I finally did.

The great thing about fighting back against this stuff is that if you end up losing anyway you get the same outcome you’d have gotten from complying but you don’t have to fucking hate yourself too.

A little birdie told me that THE GENTLEMAN AND HIS VOWSMITH, a queer murder/gothic/fantasy by @devinmadson.bsky.social is out now!!

I'd like to add: this is all DOGE does. They strut around like computer geniuses but the only code they ship is culture war web content updates. And they don't actually write that; they lean on other people to do it.

“… shoppers theGrio spoke with across the country say they, too, have shifted from Target to Costo to show their support for diversity, equity, and inclusion. ‘I felt as if my dollars or my culture did not matter to Target,’ said Tara Paige, a 51-year-old patio designer from Texas.”

Harvard redid its whole homepage to push back against the administration’s demands. I mean, this is just a website but I think it’s kind of a great PR move: www.harvard.edu

This weird, wormy creature may help scientists get to the bottom of an enduring mystery in evolution: Where did the anus come from? @science.org and science in this edition of #ScienceAdviser: www.science.org/content/arti... 🧪

In defiance of the Supreme Court & without any evidence, the White House claims that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a “terrorist,” who was “sent to the right place.” This is a blatant LIE. He is innocent. He cannot be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail. He must be brought home.
