In the wake of the Jane Doe scandal, my friend and colleague @paugonzalez510.bsky.social has gone public with an accusation against a sexual assault in her past. #kenyoncollege, please do the right thing here. kenyoncollegian.com/news/2026/10...

Like we say at @ebpublicbank.bsky.social !

No rooftop panels needed! Ava’s East Oakland solar project aims to bring 20% bill discounts to ~300 eligible households. PBEB could finance more with local lenders. localnewsmatters.org/2026/06/09/e... Learn more: publicbankeastbay.org/priorities-2... @avaenergy.org #PublicBanking #CleanEnergy

It's no secret! We noticed you cutting off donations to the Southern Policy Law Center. The SPLC does great and much-needed work. #FidelityCharitable #FidelityInvestments, President Trump's noxious vendetta i should not be your problem. share.nwmd.social/s/A9vXMsd2

If someone will tell me what god or spirit I have offended, I promise to complete whatever ritual they demand to clear the infraction.

Oh my god they have a one ring themed dog tag

Trans rights is inherently a bodily autonomy issue. Just like abortion rights is. We can't have gender equity or reproductive freedom without trans rights. Full stop. You can yell at me and make up shit that you claim I've said if it makes you feel better. I don't care. I'm right. And you know it.

David Cobb was One of the Good Ones, both personally and politically. As a Green Party presidential candidate in the early 2000s, he helped start the election integrity movement. I hope to attend this celebration virtually.

Incredible. When E—n M—k & his crew obliterated USAID in a weekend, they deleted a vast trove of publicly-funded knowledge: the Development Experience Clearinghouse. A Canadian high school student (!) happened to have downloaded the entire thing for a project. AidData has now posted it for all.

Dear US friends: if you are tired of seeing screenshots of posts that are mostly inflammatory lies but you know they might impact you and your community, might I refer you instead to @unbreaking.org? Timelines of what’s *actually* happening in US federal policy in key areas, sourced and updated.

That old cliche “if you don’t like the game, change the rules” is getting a workout. The Trump administration keeps losing in court, so they’re taking their ball elsewhere and creating an authoritarian mess in the rulemaking docket. 1/8 unbreaking.org/issues/medic...

Just found a subreddit that pairs people with fucked up balls of string with people who love detangling balls of string and it is *very* wholesome

Like @yvonnezlam.bsky.social , just being reminded that this exists makes me smile.

Do horses want cake? We conducted an investigation into statements published by @bencollins.bsky.social in the print edition of @theonion.com.

@wordweaverlynn.bsky.social brought Alan much joy, and is a dear friend to me. Losing Alan unexpectedly is big and destabilizing, but we forge on.

i'm sorry this is so funny. great stuff www.404media.co/ceo-ignores-...

Epstein, ICE and war on Iran are all driven by the same agenda: to attack and destroy anyone who does not look, pray or live like the MAGA Murder Regime deems worthy.

DHS's Office of Industry Partnership was hacked by a group called "Department of Peace" and info about ICE contracts with over 6,000 companies is now published on @ddosecrets.org ddosecrets.org/article/ice-...

DOJ's recent 6th Circuit filing misspelled: Voters as “Votors” Emergency as "Emeregency" United States as "United Staes" And, it included a non-party in the caption. These are the people who want access to your sensitive voting records and who my team fights in court every day.

Yes it’s Valentine’s Day. But it’s also the chosen birthday of Frederick Douglass who was born in 1818 on a plantation in Talbot County, Maryland. He escaped from slavery & rose to become the most eloquent and forceful voice for the abolition of slavery & for Black voting rights in the U.S.

Working on this project is helping me stay somewhat sane.

Ending this operation is not enough. We need justice and accountability. That starts with independent investigations into the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, economic restitution for businesses impacted, abolishing ICE, and the impeachment of Kristi Noem.

I say this All the Time, but @coachfinstock.bsky.social says it better.

We need to talk about the rise of "smol bean fascism" where you have all the guns and the immunity but the really scary people are the ones with whistles and phone cameras and they're giving you generational trauma and ptsd by filming you killing people for no reason

Greg is a long-time acquaintance and, in the moment, on the list my list of Twin Cities heroes. Bookseller courage FTW.

I am. But there are three things at play here regarding ICE collecting private data. Quick rundown on the issue, why you should be paying attention, and what I'm doing about it:

I am so proud to be an #unbreaking volunteer.

This thread is both superb and encouraging.

The wisdom of Mr. Rogers is eternal:

the reason people sometimes act madder at democrats than republicans when republicans do impossibly evil shit is the same reason why, if you hired an exterminator to handle a roach infestation and he showed up to feed and play with them instead, your first instinct wouldn’t be to yell at the roaches

Okay, that was today and I missed it. Next year, I want an invite in advance!

is there anything more 2025-coded than “white” being the pantone color of the year

ICYMI. The more you look at this the "better" it gets.
