Bluesky was built by the marginalized, and they're still the lifeblood of what is now the only inclusive large-scale social media community. The victims of the genocidal attacks in Gaza are a vital part of this community. @moderation.bsky.app is silencing many of these people, and it needs to stop.

The breathtaking gall it takes for WaPo to defend the cowardly decision to hide the names of the authors of the HHS report at a time where gender-affirming care providers are routinely doxed and threatened by extremists, both private and state actors alike. But sure, their feelings might get hurt.

Harvard just handed all school and disciplinary records of international students to DHS. Absolutely contemptible. They're putting their own students in danger and lying by telling them that everything is ok. These students could be black bagged to Louisiana or El Salvador after this.

Despite seeing several people I totally trust say this was real I still felt I had to verify it with my own eyes. And having done so I still can't believe it's real.

Jaw-dropping behavior. He was the lead defendant in this case. "Martin appeared to be 'deliberately interfering with a judicial proceeding with the intent to undermine the integrity of the outcome,' said Scott Cummings, a professor of legal ethics at UCLA School of Law. 'That’s not OK.'”

Harvard just scrapped it's office of Diversity Inclusion and Belonging and has renamed it the office of campus and community life. They will move focus from underrepresented minorities to first generation and low income students instead. Resegregation comes to Harvard.

If Dems arrested a GOP judge right off the bench, Republicans would be at this very moment marching in the streets led by basically every elected member of the party. Dems tweeted about it, some of them, and...well that was it. No plainer a sign of why one party is stronger.

Disappearing people. This is not the country I grew up in–and I’m not going to let it be the country I leave to my children. I will continue speaking up because it is clear this is a constitutional crisis and being silent is being complicit.

I know you aren't going to want to hear this but the reason the system can deport Mahmoud Khalil and send Kilmar Abrego Garcia to El Salvador is that for years we've been executing factually innocent people like Marcellus Williams and sending legally innocent people to places like Riker's Island.
