That’s how you write a headline, people.

BREAKING: Associated Press is suing the Trump administration for violating the First Amendment. This is what needs done at every turn. Resist. Fight back. Well done AP👏

Fed workers, incl. those fired or under threat at various agencies that do everything from run national parks to warn residents about impending floods raised the alarm at dozens of #SaveOurServices rallies around the country Wednesday. Our editor Jenny Brown reports: labornotes.org/2025/02/fede...

Report: You Live In An Embarrassing Country

📢 “He’s trying to steal Medicaid to enrich himself. He’s gutting NASA to line his pockets with SpaceX. He’s looting everything good in America for private profit.” - @aoc.bsky.social at today’s #SaveOurServices NYC rally. The fight isn’t over. Join us: go.savepublicservices.com

When communism ended in Eastern Europe a lot of the new governments started selling off state industries at rock bottom prices to their friends and families who dismantled them and looted them for parts. Really feels like that’s what we’re going through

A bunch of catalogers on the PCC list not understanding the inherent conservatism of LC administration. Sure, they technically *could* interpret a rule in a way which would go against an executive order, but they're definitely not going to. Don't look to LC for courage, library friends. #critcat 📚

The Wikimedia Foundation says it will likely roll out features previously used to protect editors in authoritarian countries more widely. www.404media.co/wikipedia-pr...

My very first MTG card has been revealed and i'm allowed to post it! Here's the artwork for Jumbo Cactuar 🌵 AD: Cassie Murphy Working on an official FF thing has been a childhood dream come true for me, and i'm happy to be involved. #MTGxFINALFANTASY #MTG

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

The logo design for #MTGxFinalFantasy is perfect....just...perfect.

I live this bird and if anything happens to it I will yell

"you say you want statehood for DC and Puerto Rico yet you don't want it for Canada"

“Many say that while they still love their work — and particularly working with students — they don’t know how long they can maintain their current pace. ‘Most of us are working seven days a week just to keep up… That’s not sustainable at all.’”

Yo U-M regents and Prez Ono this is how it’s done, not by making lists of all the people you need to fire in order to comply

Hey that's me! I'll be playing Magic with some lovely folks in support of Trans Lifeline.

We got there! Together, we raised over $564,000 for @translifeline.bsky.social. 🏳️‍⚧️ Trans rights are human rights and all are deserving of equality and love. To everyone who was a part of this, from myself, @goberthicks.bsky.social, and all of us here at Tolarian Community College: THANK YOU. 💙💜🤍

Looks like another protest heading for Stonewall this Saturday, likely even bigger than the one last week.

Measles high infection rate is the reason we have not yet been able to eradicate it. That rate means you need a very high vaccination rate to prevent outbreaks. It is possible, but not with current levels of institutional distrust.

hey for anyone who might want to actually own their kindle books instead of renting them, or who might be thinking of switching to kobo etc and will want to convert them to epubs, you now only have one week before amazon kills your ability to download its ebooks www.theverge.com/news/612898/...

Biggest shock of the #p4a2025

It's Black History Month Learn of Magic's black artists like Hannibal King Twitter: x.com/hanniba1kin8 Fb: www.facebook.com/share/167FGD... His cards on Scryfall: scryfall.com/search?q=a%3...

Every single year my anxiety brain tells me that this is the year no one turns out...and every single year we break the previous year's record. Together, we raised half a million dollars for @translifeline.bsky.social!💜💜💜 Trans rights are human rights, and all are deserving of equality and love. 🏳️‍⚧️

I’ll fix this later but it’s truly that time of the year again

New P4A album just dropped! #p4a2025

So what exactly is the Project for Awesome? Since 2007, my brother @hankgreen.bsky.social and many friends and online creators have come together to host an annual 48-hour livestream in support of great charities. Over the years, we've raised over $22,000,0000 for a huge variety of charities...

Friends! The Project for Awesome is a huge fundraiser in which community members come together and support charities doing good in the world. A good thing to kick off the weekend.

The Project for Awesome 2025 livestream will be February 14-16, but what is P4A? #P4A2025

🎉🎉🎉

Happy 20th birthday to the web site that changed my life and made the Project for Awesome possible. The #p4a is a bit younger than youtube--but only a bit. We're currently in our 19th year. Support great charities like Save the Children and Partners in Health: projectforawesome.com
