I have family that in the last few months has tripled down on racist bigotry when confronted with anger that they voted for the regime. These are people I used to keep deep ties with. Actions have motherfucking consequences. No one gets free access to my (or your) life. 😡🚫

So, I think it's time I begin, in detailed specifics, talking about the mess that is Unbound / Boundless as a book publisher, in essence stealing most of a years royalties from me and many other authors, as a result of poor financial decisions, and legal BS. Please read and share this thread.

Palestine solidarity posters seen in Nantes, France

What infuriates me so much about this new operation is that it is literally punishing people for following the rules and showing up to their court hearings. It is so toxic to the basic concept of following the rules. It is an operation designed by people who hate the concept of the rule of law.

This sucks. The ADL and Ritchie Torres are coming after Dr. Lara Sheehi adc.org/torresdefama...

Miss Rachel an example of bravery increasing fame. Last night I was watching various "truck-having rednecks for Palestine" videos. I am convinced this genocide is far less tolerated than we are supposed to believe. More stars could reinforce that, but they're not artists anymore they're the State

Sinners exploring the revolution of Black music is one of the greatest scenes in movie history.

A group in San Diego is patrolling neighborhoods to identify potential ICE presence. They keep watch for vehicles that may belong to federal agencies, and use livestreams, radios, and social media to keep communities informed. boltsmag.org/how-vol...

Srsly 👀👀

"let copilot help you draft" "can gemini write that for you" I have now taken the only reasonable course of action in the circumstances

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd. It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

“No! Mis hijos estan en La escuela! (My kids are in school!) Por favor!” Tennessee’s @davidwontshutup.bsky.social on a very difficult video to watch of ICE grabbing a mother outside immigration court in Texas.

Heavily armed paramilitary forces stormed a local San Diego restaurant today, deployed stun grenades against a crowd of onlookers, and kidnapped a handful of kitchen workers.

reading this new york times article, it occurs to me for the hundredth time that so much of the current upheaval is at root about aging parents who refuse to accept they've hurt and tormented their children into rejecting them as people

Srsly. As a millennial parent, what the fuck

🧵MEGA THREAD: I'm tracking the far right anti-LGBTIQ groups targeting LGBTIQ events during Pride Month. Also, how are organizations, corporations, and lawmakers responding to the Trump Administration and Republicans' ongoing efforts to erase and criminalize the transgender and queer community.

Late last year, @Harpers sent me to the West Bank to report on the state of the nonviolent resistance movement. Nothing I had seen over more than a decade of reporting there prepared me for the levels of fear and devastation I encountered. harpers.org/archive/2025...

My high school age son has a classmate just seized by ICE and she is now in a cell in Louisiana, her phone seized. This is High School in the USA in 2025. More Au Revoir Les Enfants than Ferris Bueller. School and community response already in motion.

Nature ran a piece finding that 25 million people could die as a result of ending USAID. This puts Trump and Musk in the category of the most brutal leaders of the 20th century in terms of unnecessary lives lost. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

They are zip-tying children. They are zip-tying children. They are zip-tying children. Keep saying it. Make them defend it.

i know everyone is mentioning the obvious contradiction/lies here but can we re-focus on the fact that this dude wears an insane amount of makeup for someone whose entire ethos is supposed to be "let's make america alpha and giga chad again"

The dumbass fascists keep telling on themselves. They published a list of immigrant friendly cities - it’s fantastic PR. “Move here for communities that don’t collaborate with the SS” YES PLS. www.dhs.gov/sanctuary-ju...

TPM reached out to the State Department on Thursday to ask about the essay and the fact it echoes some of this white nationalist rhetoric. A spokesperson asked us to “extend” our deadline for comment until Friday, but did not reply to subsequent emails. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/the-sta...

Internet friends: recommendations for websites where I can buy real Palestinian embroidery, from Palestinians? 🇵🇸🇵🇸

We deeply understand that people in Gaza and other crisis areas need platforms to share their experiences and seek support, and we’re committed to ensuring that they can be heard on Bluesky. 1/8

The lies are endless: DHS data shows the Trump admin knew only 32 of the 238 Venezuelans sent to a foreign prison were convicted of US crimes, only 6 of those violent.

"The only thing I want is a better future for [my kids] ... [M]y country doesn't lend itself to that."

"She was also Gaza’s youngest influencer, offering practical survival tips for daily life under bombardment, such as advice on how to cook with improvised methods when there was no gas. 'I try to bring a bit of joy to the other children so that they can forget the war. '”

TODAY: @brianhioe.bsky.social on attending a funeral for a friend of a friend. “After that, she had decided to go on a hunger strike to protest her conditions and passed away. But I think it’s more accurate to say that she was killed.” flaminghydra.com/r/c6fde269?m...

THREAD 🧵 Internal State Department records show that months of warnings have become a reality: The Trump administration’s sudden withdrawal of foreign humanitarian aid has brought about death, violence and unrest. 1/

More eugenics. & just for the record the stated reason is bullshit: mRNA vaccines are extremely safe. The regime wants us dead. 😡😡 www.reuters.com/business/hea...

🚨Judge Farbiarz becomes the second judge since President Trump's sister in 1996 to rule that the law used to detain Mahmoud Khalil is likely unconstitutional. However, he says Mr. Khalil hasn't offered enough evidence at this time about unconstitutional targeting on the second ground of removal.

It's been a couple wks since the various reports of Trump's incursions at the LoC. In that time, I've been backing up the OCR text of Chronicling America, just in case I documented my process on my blog. Just sharing in case others want/need to back up Chron Am for their own peace of mind

I don’t have words for the evil anymore. Anyone not pushing as hard as they can for a stop to this is complicit: www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m... 💔🇵🇸💔🇵🇸

Sounds about right. This is a reminder that, yes, ICE can in fact bring people back that it has wrongfully deported. It is just choosing not to do that for Mr. Abrego Garcia, in violation of a court order. But in this case, it doesn't have the figleaf of CECOT to hide behind.
