The world sucks in lots of ways but I just left a party celebrating a small publishing house and I can report that people still write and read and drink and dance. Thank the gods.

ok I get very confused when the Giants play the Orioles ⚫️🟠

I hope that when RFK Jr dies someday, someone has been hired and trained to capture whatever crawls out of the body, so that it doesn't find a new host

long weekend at bernie's

Why does a military parade have a corporate sponsor

Seniors in Salt Lake City heading out for a #nokingsprotest in front of their assisted living facility.

a photo grid of dolls with protest t-shirts and signs.

I need everyone on Normal People internet to know that American Girl Doll Instagram is doing doll protests today. There are tiny t-shirts and signs. AND THEN I realized it's a joint protest with the Barbie ppl, where there are EVEN TINIER SIGNS.

My personal sadness is small, contained, fleeting.
My civic sadness is massive, untethered, constant.

Columbia staff receive texts asking if they're Jewish, as government hunts antisemitic harassment on campus Barnard employees received the text as Columbia University students plan a new tent encampment to protest the Israel-Hamas war.

I really wish reporters would stop saying that there is an effort by the Trump administration to combat antisemitism. It is quite the opposite. There is an effort to foment antisemitism.

Graphic of Washington Post poll from April 18-22, 2025, showing "Majorities of Americans oppose various Trump proposals" highlighting two lines in particular: "Increasing the Federal Government's role in how private universities operate" - 28 percent support, 70 percent oppose "Reducing federal funding for medical research" - 21 percent support, 77 percent oppose

University leaders need to understand: they are holding INCREDIBLY good cards.

It is so rare in today's polarized era to have the support of 70+ percent of the public against the Trump admiministration on anything. Universities have that—AND winning legal arguments.

Hear me out….

I am so grateful whenever someone shares It's Storytime with new listeners. I thought the hard part was making the episodes, but that was trivially easy, compared to how much work and effort it takes to ensure people who will love the podcast find out it exists. Thank you, We Have Issues :)

With CDC injury prevention team gutted, 'we will not know what is killing us' Workers who track data on car crashes, drownings, traumatic brain injury, falls in the elderly, and other perils lost their jobs. Advocates worry life-saving work will stop.

Our long national nightmare of knowing what is killing us is finally over. www.npr.org/sections/sho...

why doesn't stuff like this ever happen to me

Two NYT headlines stating the WH wants to promote more childbearing and the EPA is ending testing for chemicals that hurt children.

Two headlines in the New York Times today.

Embarrassed to say I did not join AAUP until this year. But if you are a faculty and staff member, they are representing your interests.

Maybe the best combination of bass and guitar sounds ever recorded. RIP to both of these guys youtu.be/fRjsBh_R3TQ?...

I love Drew. If you can help his family out <3

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

First, Steves finds a way to talk about institutions and oligarchy that is dirt simple:

1. Institutions are PUBLIC WEALTH. They are our shared wealth, dammit.
2. Billionaires can't stand wealth they don't control.
3. So they are going to dismantle our public wealth to better bleed us dry

Several thousand in our wonderful little city of Walnut Creek, CA representing today and doing our part! This is what democracy looks like.
Thank you @repmarkdesaulnier.bsky.social for showing up.

@maddow.msnbc.com Smaller cities out doing our part!

@maddow.msnbc.com Great rally in Walnut Creek near your home town! Enjoys the pics and signs. Love your 100 days!

I do not think I have ever seen this many people gathered in one place in South Dakota outside of, like, the Sturgis motorcycle rally.
