Brazil will get more attention either way it goes, but this is truly an incredible victory for the student protesters. We ran this in March 2025, which explained the movement's strengths but seemed overly optimist in the months that followed. 18 months later, they succeeded. Gen Z strikes again.
wow, really, vucic concedes

For those whose political work consist mainly of electoral campaigns in blue districts, the terrain for fighting fascism can appear to be "elsewhere." But by attending to conditions that make fascism flourish, as @prisonculture.bsky.social does here, we can see there's so much work to be done here.

Replying to @katmabu.bsky.social
I think about this quote every single day and I think about how much potential we, as humans and as a country, have lost because of hate. Our Constitution and institutions would be so much stronger right now if they were also built with Natives, Black people, and women as equals.

@tressiemcphd.bsky.social on why we must defend public libraries: “There is a reason the culture warriors hate the library. It is the same reason that Americans should defend it with our rights. No political spin doctor can sell us what is freely given at one: the right to think for ourselves.”

I don't want to hear another word about how much white European visitors are enjoying ranch dressing while team officials, Africa's top referee, and now one of the world's most celebrated fans are turned away from the World Cup. The USA is an utterly unfit host — it's as simple as that

Israel alone killed over 75 journalists in 2025, something many of the people I'm currently reading breathless posts from have still said nothing about.
the irony is that there are many journalists who are threatened and killed for their work globally, except they don’t overlap at all with the people willing to attend the MAGA White House correspondent’s dinner

I do find this insistence on contingency and hedging survivors’ accounts really tedious. Andrew Cuomo was found to have sexually harassed Lindsay Boylan—and many others—by the New York Attorney General.
First & foremost, @lindseyboylan.bsky.social is more than deserving of this endorsement. Second & just as important, fuck this headline. Lindsey didn’t accuse Cuomo of harassment. Cuomo harassed Lindsey. Period. She is not an accusor. She is a survivor-advocate. Show some respect. Report the truth.

"I don't even know what that phrase means and I doubt that I said that... How I can I answer something that I didn't say... I'd like to hear the recording." Okay RFJ Jr. Here you go. Here's you caught lying on tape: www.youtube.com/shorts/ryyb_...
