I hope the images of the nazi flag burning get spread far and wide. Y'all these are cowards and they can be beaten.

this is essentially, what's up

As governor of Illinois, I’ve made it my mission to make our state the best to call home including for our LGBTQ+ community. No matter who you are or who you love, everyone deserves dignity and equality. Hate has no home here.

This week, @wired.com has gotten a lot of love on this here app. (Thank you!!) But I don’t think I can overstate what a force @bsky.app has become in influencing the entire media ecosystem. So refreshing to have a platform that isn’t actively hostile to hard news.

bad news for israel.. the last time a Palestinian came back from the dead they made a whole ass religion out of it

The world's on fire, make friends with crows. 🐦‍⬛💕🦐

Since this is making the rounds again. Knowing history right now is both terrifying and hopeful. It provides more understanding of how horrific it can get. But everywhere you turn there are also stories like this, where everyday people show heroic defiance. They win more often than you might think

Reminder to self to spend more time in the real world www.404media.co/you-cant-pos...

A judge ordered the naming rights of the extremist group the Proud Boys be given to the Metropolitan African Methodist Episcopal Church in Washington, D.C.

These DOGE guys' phone numbers & addresses are easy to find, in case anyone wants to file a FOIA request for all their communications (including those on any personal devices used to conduct government business), or serve them with evidence preservation demand letters in anticipation of litigation

Any countries whose scientific research funding bodies are NOT currently under siege by their own national leadership would do very well announcing investments in bringing in foreign research talent right now

A witch hunt has begun at the FBI. Employees are required to provide information by Tuesday and are being encouraged to report on their coworkers. The FBI questionnaire asks agents about their roles in various cases, including whether they made arrests or appeared in court, among other details.

TAKE YOUR TIME- - - I’M THE BOSS AROUND HERE

Hi all, We’re still here at OPM. We have a situation where we MIGHT, and I do mean, MIGHT have four of Elon’s people blocked from the building. Can we get press or a member of Congress down here? We’ve blocked them for two hours and they keep coming back and trying to go in.

If you see this, quote-post with a gif of your personality type.

Some things you can do. No one can do all these things, but most people can do at least one: Feed people. There's work for you at Food Not Bombs or whatever you got going on where are. Join a local cop watch, ICE watch, or rapid response group. Who's being targeted in your area? Have their back.

Hey y'all, a homeless transfem is in need of help.

I spent two months writing this about being a trans woman at a company swallowed up by The New York Times. I still have 10,000 unpublished words about that. My rage hasn’t faded. There will be more to say. Trans lives matter. Please mind content warnings. www.carlyjdubois.com/new-york-tim...

oh a new executive order? execudeez nuts

A reminder that humans are capable of great acts of wonder when we work together & embrace knowledge. An international team of astronomers has discovered swarms of cold comets circling 74 nearby stars -- and got clear pictures of these "exocomet belts." 🧪🔭 www.iac.es/en/outreach/...

So very apropos!

If you’re unsubscribing from WaPo, independent journos are doing groundbreaking investigation. @marisakabas.bsky.social has constant ground-level stories; she has a subscription page. @propublica.org has released most the SCOTUS corruption stories you’ve heard. Dump $billionaire-owned journalism.

I feel this. I don’t have kids but I feel for those who do and just for humanity in general. We should have done better.

I used to cross this bridge every school day during my childhood. We don’t have the infrastructure for climate change here. I’ve been expecting global weirding but not this bad here and now. It was so bad I have a hard time accepting it. #mountainstrong #nolistrong #appalachiastrong #climatechange

Dobby says hello

I think I’m liking this Bluesky thing. I don’t hate it. Definitely reminds me of old twitter and it seems like moderation has improved.
