Abducting people at work sites - meaning they have jobs. Capturing them at court dates - meaning they're following the law. Blocking them from accessible higher education - meaning they're striving for more. And peddling lies about jobless, lawless, driftless.

New — I wrote about the injustice unfolding before our eyes as rich reality stars are pardoned for their crimes while law-abiding immigrants are rounded up and caged by ICE, and the way communities are rising up to say fuck no.

So I told a troll who says that the children of Palestine aren't suffering to fuck off a little too hard and I got suspended for that? Way to go, Bluesky mods. Not including the offending post in your suspension notification email is not only lazy, but dumb. Hope that helps!

Got to the Bell Riots portion of my DS9 rewatch. What an absolute wealth of 90s character actors, I entirely forgot how many starred in these two episodes.

If I can be real for a moment, what frightens me most right now is that David Brooks is more upset about Trump-Musk than many, maybe most, liberal pundits and Democratic leaders are.

Transphobes like NYT "investigations editor" @virginiahughes.bsky.social love to do the thing where they defend transphobia and then sit around reassuring themselves that the angry reaction from trans people proves their point. Absolute ghouls.

Harvey Milk served in the Navy during the Korean War, but was discharged in 1955, not for any misconduct, but because he was gay. And now his name is being removed from a Navy vessel, once again not because of anything he did wrong, but because he was gay. It's the same hate from the same scum.

the question I never considered when I started building useful things for my community: how do I make them bulletproof in case I get taken out of the picture at the time, it felt like they were extra. nbd now it’s practically all I think about how to be useful in a way that survives me

The head of FEMA who said he didn't know there's a hurricane season is a white man with no prior experience managing natural disasters who got his job despite his lack of qualifications in large part because of his race and gender.

Through May, Baltimore has recorded 54 homicides, the fewest through the first 5 months of a year on record. The previous low: 65 homicides, in 1977. At this point in 2022, just three years ago, there had been 138 killings, and in 2017 there had been 146 people killed.

1. Florida banned cities from lighting up bridges rainbow colors for Pride. So the people of Jacksonville did it themselves using flashlights and gels. They opened the drawbridge to block them. So they marched to a different bridge. The latest from S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Truly remarkable how we’re gutting science and R&D whilst simultaneously raising a generation of students who are letting AI do their homework for them. Even if we wanted to maintain our lead in scientific discovery our only real option is to outsource critical “thinking” to the machines.

One more for the "WTF" quota... This lady has been legally in the U.S. for 50 years. She was detained by ICE in February when coming home from a trip to the Philippines and only just released last week. "It was horrific; it was awful, it is crowded—super crowded." www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

Your key takeaway from the brilliant Ukraine attack with small drones into Russia shouldn’t be “wow, small drones make it so easy to score huge hits,” it should be “wow, Ukrainians are insanely good at covertly planning and executing extraordinarily difficult missions of which drones are one part”.

1. The FPV drone tech Ukraine used here has been around for a while, though it was used very ingeniously. 2. The Ukrainian attack using these drones relied upon what sounds like over a year of extraordinarily precise logistics, planning, and training. This is not something just anyone could do.

To repeat myself, any reckoning about "what happened" to the Republican Party needs to grapple with the fact that the two most consistently and enthusiastically authoritarian justices on the Supreme Court were not nominated by Trump

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.

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.

An underrated part of being active in your community is being a crank who hates local figures by name. I despise many, but at the top of my shit list are a cop who's murdered two people without consequence, an oil tycoon who's on the board of everything, and a developer who hates trees and people.
