Shit is really making me wish karma was real.

Can’t even begin to imagine how they’re going to vandalize the National Museum of African American History and Culture and the American Women’s History Museum.

Louis XVI, former King of France since the abolition of the monarchy, was publicly executed on 21 January 1793 during the French Revolution at the Place de la Révolution #HistoryTips

Everything you've heard is true. This book is a masterpiece. I resented every minute I had to be at work not reading it, so I spent my last Audible credit on the audiobook (I can cancel my membership now!), so I could listen on my commute.

I don't know why it didn't occur to me to do this until just now, but... #uglydogs, anyone able to contribute to help sweet Jessica? She spent so long trying to find her forever family and finally did, but now she needs surgery.

Are you following the shocking abduction of Rumesya Ozturk? Please take a moment to read about farm worker organizer Lelo Juarez, who was also arrested by ICE, also presumably for his political advocacy www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

NEW—After a day of uncertainty on where agents took Tufts student Rumeysa Ozturk, she appears to be in a Louisiana facility. 1400+ miles from Somerville, Massachusetts, where she was taken. A judge ordered to not take her out of state without 48 hour notice. She was detained last night.

I can feel my brain cells dying.

For the number of times I've had morons online parrot "We're a constitutional republic, not a democracy" at me (as if the two things were mutually exclusive), it's really looking like we're not a "constitutional" ANYTHING anymore.

Good news out of Iowa! Big thank you & congratulations to the advocates who worked on this! It is abundantly clear these bans are unconstitutional, but that won't stop them from trying. We need to be just as organized & just as relentless. Good job team!

The news is full of awful things Union organizers were desperate to make people see, believe & act on 114 years ago. Please take a moment to remember the 146 victims of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire who died on this day in 1911. Our work on the subject: boroughsofthedead.com/industrial-m...

I feel like calling this "staggering incompetence" would really be underselling the level of ineptitude we're dealing with these days.

There is absolutely no way Greenland should let in a representative of an overtly hostile nation, in fact the wife of someone explicitly threatening to “take” it. Turn her plane back.

We should be ejected from NATO for this bullshit. Among other consequences.

It finally arrived! Going to lull myself to sleep (or stay up all night?) with @sgj.bsky.social's latest. #booksky

I'm not doomscrolling I'm just going for the blood pressure high score

Time to live vicariously through Carrie White. Get 'em, girl.

I *just* set up my Roku again for the first time in years. If this goes forward, I'm throwing it in the garbage.

This is a particularly stupid and insane thing to do while we have an antivax nutjob in charge of national medical policy. Are there any useful Democrats left or are they all carrying water for right-wing interests?

Based on the package tracking, my preorder copy isn't arriving until at least tomorrow, maybe Thursday. And I can't make it down to the signing at the Strand tonight. (My preorder copy is apparently autographed anyway, so I'll cope, but... *wistful sigh*)

This thread illuminates one of the most irritating nonsense arguments in every single online discussion of crime and/or immigration. There are only a handful of arguments that spike my blood pressure faster.
