You're not gonna believe this but @cbsnews.com appears to not have a story about some of the largest mass protests in American history anywhere on its main page.

Pittsburgh just sang the Mr. Rogers theme song for #nokings. This is what #antifa looks like.

Emergency rally against Fenway Health's capitulation to Trump today at 4:00.

The institutions that are supposed to protect us cannot toss aside Transgender people to protect LGB people.

We are all in this together.

The Founding Members of ANTIFA at it’s inaugural meeting in 1787

what does an "unconstitutional DEI principle" mean in the context of a tunnel project? what, a black person is going to use it?

The deepest quiet worry here is not that he's posting AI video of himself pretending this is real.

The deep concern is that they are testing AI video of him to see if we can still tell it's AI. Because if your ideologue dies and you have no maga cult, you lose power, unless you can convince them

Cannot be repeated enough: this was not a voluntary resignation program. Workers were told they were more valuable in the private sector, that they might be fired from their jobs, that they could expect no reasonable work accommodations, that they would work for leaders who were undermining services

How Democracies Fall Apart - Dissent Magazine An interview with Adam Przeworski.

Every time I read @adamprz.bsky.social reflecting on his life and work, I am in awe. Though I have never met him, and we move(d) in different circles, his reflections speak deeply to me.

One of the last intellectual giants in the field representing an increasingly different discipline.

While Stephen Miller claims that Democrats calling him a fascist constitutes incitement, there are hundreds of examples of Miller publicly calling Democrats fascists.

it's really jarring to see how little media attention the assassination of Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark and their dog Gilbert received in comparison to the notable death of a non-elected leader of a right-wing organization.

Harrison Butker too far to the right again huh

i think one thing people have a hard time grasping is that the central figures of the trump administration are not bad as in "the worst republican blowhard you know," but bad as in "the worst people you have ever heard of." donald trump is a serial rapist whose best friend was a pedophile.

North Dakota newspaper columnist whose Olive Garden review went viral dies at 99 Marilyn Hagerty, the North Dakota newspaper columnist whose earnest review of her local Olive Garden became a social media sensation, has died. She was 99.

Education is the enemy of fascism.

Join me in condemning this kind of statement and this kind of hate.

New SNAP rules could result in 2.4 million people losing benefits each month The Agriculture Department has started to issue guidance on how states should implement new work requirements for people who get food assistance through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.

"There are estimates that about 2.4 million people would lose benefits under these time-limit-related changes that the new law requires."

For accuracy’s sake, I stop calling people Nazis when they stop saying and doing Nazi things. At that point I call them former Nazis

It’s an absolute shame that DC fired Gretchen Felker- Martin for exercising free speech and then @bsky.app suspended her account. Every writer here should be decrying this because we have to stand up for each other! This is ridiculous.

We Must Not Posthumously Sanitize Charlie Kirk's Hateful Life Influential anti-LGBTQ+ activist Charlie Kirk was assassinated on Wednesday. While condemning violence is something most can get behind, sanitization of his hate has gone too far.

There has been a rush among centrists like Gavin Newsom and Ezra Klein to brush over the hateful life of Charlie Kirk and valorize the man.

Let me be clear, killing Charlie Kirk was wrong and abhorrent.

We must condemn murder without sanitizing a man who built his empire on hate.

A poster with an image of a woman in a black balaclava holding a tire tool with the text “The government is abducting your neighbours are you going to let them?”

Seen out and about in Chicago.

Dear Americans, welcome to the thrilling game of ‘Did this dictator die or just disappear for a day?’ We’ve been playing it with Putin and Lukashenko for decades. Enjoy the suspense.

Constantly amazed by the compassion people show! 💜

"I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is."

Why your neighbors need you to oppose fascism Through Shakespeare, Kurt Vonnegut reveals how minds are made up.

It’s always worth remembering that we may never be as free as we are today. And the risks of protesting and non-cooperation may never be lower.

Why should I write better when a machine can do it for me? Because actually no one can do it for you, because your voice is unique among all the people on earth. Siri never petted a horse's neck. Alexa has never been ghosted by the captain of the football team. But you have lived, your heart is beating, you have suffered, and you have something important to say. It's a human's job, to use words, and whatever job you give to a machine, that part of your brain goes dark. Maybe it's worth it when it comes to remembering phone numbers and directions, but when that part of your brain that uses words goes dark, that's a vast area that's very close to your soul. Don't let some internet platform convince you that what you have to say and create isn't worthwhile. Words are the echo of your soul. Honing that echo matters.

this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like

I don’t think enough people are talking about how Stephen Miller is actually Vice President of the United States.

The part where he doesn’t put the stick down to take a wee on the tree is simply legendary. I cackled.
