"Free speech," Nazi style.

When a judge stops the president from doing something illegal, that’s not a “threat to democracy,” that’s a check on the president’s power. That's the whole damn point.

She speaks truth.

All kidding aside, the reason he is doing this is to establish some kind of culpability by @profgalloway.com and I. We never threatened these people but it is all in service of getting his supporters to think we did. It’s not a random tweet — all planned for a larger effort to silence us or worse.

Never forget that in 14 days, multiple federal agencies have been dismantled, and our systems of healthcare, education, environment, civil rights, and technology have all been dramatically overhauled. But we still have to worry about our kids being shot in school because of “the constitution.”

Sure, the original #StarWars introduces the Rebel Alliance and the individualist heroes who will lead the struggle against intergalactic domination — but #TheEmpireStrikesBack's dark denouement is more in tune with 2025, when the ultra-right-wing is seemingly in ascendance everywhere bit.ly/3Q1tA7F

A witch hunt has begun at the FBI. Employees are required to provide information by Tuesday and are being encouraged to report on their coworkers. The FBI questionnaire asks agents about their roles in various cases, including whether they made arrests or appeared in court, among other details.

Without public knowledge, Elon Musk is serving as a “special government employee” under President Donald Trump, with access to sensitive information (including your SSN) and broad authority granted by Trump.

AT program and I (from the ND AT program) have matching shirts that say “It depends”!

I will not give into the lies. I will not give into the fear. Repeat it.

Didn't Clarence Thomas say in his Dobbs judgment that the Supreme Court should revisit Obergefell v Hodges (the gay marriage case), Griswold v Connecticut (right to use contraceptives) and Lawrence v Texas (decriminalisation of sodomy)? This Idaho case is just the beginning.

What Elon Musk’s Salute Was All About A gesture associated with the Nazis has a surprising history. But in Germany, there was little doubt about its meaning.

“A Hitler salute is a Hitler salute is a Hitler salute,” the prominent German weekly Die Zeit wrote in an editorial.

Also, in related news, a clownish dick is a clownish dick.

Looks like the right place to be today.

An admirable asshole! Keep up the good work!

Libraries & librarians have never been more important. If we care about the future, we must make sure every school, every community, every child has access to a library & a librarian. And we have to give them all our support, so they can do their vital work, which benefits us ALL! #SaveLibraries

I’m still learning. Certainly enjoyable to be exploring this new ecosystem.

VICTORY! Federal Court (Finally) Rules Backdoor Searches of 702 Data Unconstitutional Better late than never: last night a federal district court held that backdoor searches of databases full of Americans’ private communications collected under Section 702 ordinarily require a warrant....

VICTORY! After over a decade, a federal court has declared that warrantless backdoor searches of US person’s communications collected under Section 702 of FISA is unconstitutional.

Devastating for scientists and their research, and everyone who benefits from that research.

I’m not sure if everyone outside academia is aware that a delay or “pause” in grant funding often means the researchers themselves are lost from the field, along with their expertise.

Exactly why @bsky.app is so important. Engaging on this platform is important. As is growing this platform.

Which one of these men joins Tom Anderson and MySoace in the annals of history first ?

Their greed is our opportunity.

Somehow "Elon Musk Is a Genius" and "Elon Musk Doesn't Know How Hands Work" are being said by a lot of the same people
