Please share or give. When Aunt Priscilla and my mother were jailed in 1960 during their historic Jail-In after their arrest at a Woolworth lunch counter, baseball great Jackie Robinson sent them DIARIES. Here are some excerpts from her diary!

Tananarive Due - The Reformatory@tananarivedue.bsky.social

My aunt, Priscilla Stephens Kruize, can no longer live on her own at age 87 & assisted living costs are huge. Our family launched a fundraiser to help fund her care until she gets financial aid. She is a civil rights HERO who has given so much to others - and now she needs us. gofund.me/8db8323e6

A little bird's tipped me off: Ada Palmer's fantastic book INVENTING THE RENAISSANCE is on sale for $3.99 in its Kindle incarnation. I already have a hardback, thanks, but e-book lovers on tight budgets, curious about the Big R, may wish to acquire @adapalmer.bsky.social's much-talked-about tome.

Looking forward to reading this one -->

Since Barack Obama, Democratic presidential candidates and "dark money" groups have raised more money than Republicans--often doubling them. So much of the Dem money is wasted. Publishing a piece on this Sunday explaining these graphs and much more. I need your help to make the piece viral. Thanks!

Republicans are completely unwilling to negotiate to protect healthcare access and bring down costs for hardworking Americans.   We're not going to rubber stamp policies that leave people vulnerable and without care.

Hey @washingtonpost.com how about that black woman you just fired?

The Washington Post@washingtonpost.com

Column: The systematic effort to censor American media isn’t exactly subtle. President Trump has not disguised his intentions or his reasons. He has gone through some trouble to emphasize that he wants to control who’s on television and what they say.

Had a chance to read an advanced copy of this, well worth a preorder!

John Scalzi@scalzi.com

If you're outside the US, this is a fine way to get a signed/personalized copy of this novel (I'm not doing any international travel for the rest of the year). If you're inside the US, it's also a very fine way to get a signed/personalized copy!

This is a specific, useful guide that people - pregnant, planning to be pregnant, accompanying those who are pregnant - would be wise to read and keep with them when they visit the hospital. It’s practical and clear & may help people get lifesaving care in a crisis when it’s hard to think straight.

ProPublica@propublica.org

People experiencing miscarriages in states with abortion bans told us they wished they had known what to expect and how to advocate for themselves. We created this guide for anyone who finds themselves in the same position. (Published Dec. 2024)

As long as we’re talking “evidence-supported treatment,” as a child psychologist I can assure you that there is NO evidence that psychotherapy can make a person cisgender. …And it’s not for lack of trying, either. #therapistsky

Had a chance to read an advanced copy, it’s a great read—order it today!

AOC: It is almost unthinkable why Senate Democrats would vote to to hand the few pieces of leverage that we have away for free when we've been sent here to protect social security, protect medicaid, and protect medicare.
