My sister just finished quilting my #climatestripes #sciart piece! Each color represents the annual U.S. temperature anomaly, from 1897-2024. Things are heating up. @katharinehayhoe.com @edhawkins.org @nicolekelner.bsky.social @kimmoldofsky.bsky.social @lecagle.bsky.social

I’m no foreign policy expert but no one should have this much power. “Starlink provides a lifeline for Ukrainian forces on the front lines attacking Russian troops and defending themselves from strikes. With a seeming flick of a switch, Musk has the power to alter the course of a deadly conflict.”

The IDF just detained the man who’s about to be elected US Congressman for NY’s 10th district, per his social media.

Nailing the concept of enshittification as only the Norwegians can do

SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.

Thank you for making No Kings Day the single largest early vote activation in American history! This is how we will stop Trump’s election sabotage.

Oh wow.... GOP congressional candidate Ralph Alvarado, in a very tight race, is skipping the Trump rally in Kentucky tomorrow, saying he has a commitments to speak at a few events in his district that day. #ky06

Zionism as Psychological Projection Please give this a listen. I know this will be hard for some folks to hear. But it is said with love. We, as Jews, need to have some difficult conversations. They are overdue. They will not be easy. This is part of it timjacobwise.substack.com/p/zionism-as...

Kentuckians know how this man can't resist a selfie

OK, four hours later than I though, I am finally driving home from Frankfort. If more Bevin news breaks in the next hour and you have my cell, call me.

It’s been 30 days since Trump started his illegal war with Iran. Here’s what it’s costing Americans:

Kentuckians turn out for anti-Trump No Kings protests at ‘crucial moment’ for democracy @sarahelizabethladd.bsky.social @jamielucke.bsky.social kentuckylantern.com/2026/03/28/k...

Gorgeous weather to protest fascism in the U.S.! Favorite scenes from today's #NoKings protest in #Lexington, KY

My signs included a shout out to March Madness, something every Kentuckian but me cares about. People loved it.

My dear friend is in the final stages of immigration to the U.S. with his family from the African continent, and could really use some help with the expenses of visa and legal fees. If you can spare anything, please read his story and consider a gift: gofund.me/2df3f68fa

If your city, county, state, or federal website has important forms only as PDFs, people on phones and screen readers are probably struggling. Start by turning the top 5 forms into simple HTML pages. It’s a straightforward accessibility win that helps people immediately.

i spoke to @rcfp.org about winning our lawsuit :)

SMITE!

And I loved every minute of it.

BREAKING: Kansas City is one of seven "mega centers" in ICE's planned nationwide concentration camp network. A local real estate company, Platform Ventures, sold out Kansas City by selling a taxpayer-subsidized warehouse to make it happen. Federal agents are already terrorizing KC residents. 🧵

if you feel like passing around a link today and helping fundraise for rent that will actually get paid today (and in the next few days for families who have a grace period) you can send here. we will be going hard all day. i won’t be posting about it because I don’t want to flood your feeds.

This post is blowing up, so for all the big name journos sharing it, some context: This was a rally in Chicago explicitly calling for ICE to be abolished, and for a mass general strike to counter the Trump admin's continous attacks on our communities and civil liberties.

Well done, Kat, well done

DOJ deleted this file after posting it. Save it while you can.

Maple Grove, MN - The noise demonstration outside of the hotel has begun in earnest now. Protesters banging pots and pans, strumming out of tune guitars, blowing whistles.

ICE detained a five-year-old child and used him as bait in Minnesota. Let that sink in. This is sick. No more funding for Trump’s ICE thugs.

This whole thread is where to go if you need some awesome, anti-ICE wearable that also give back to those impacted by ICE

Just pre-ordered mine!!
