@septa-social.bsky.social Can someone please explain why the last two eastbound trains have gone right through 46th Street without stopping? There's a platform of people waiting for their train.

Stressed out American leftist here to say thank you! Knowing we have overseas support really does help.

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

For the first time in five decades, our Elder and Leksi (Uncle) Leonard has put his feet down in so-called North Dakota, the ancestral lands of his Anishinaabe and Dakota Ancestors.

Fight, resist, gum up the works, sabotage their agenda in every large and small way.
Work under the assumption that no one is coming to save the day and it's up to every individual to do whatever is in their capacity to stop this.
Everything. Everywhere. All the time.
Fight, by every definition.

Reminder: Black history offers many examples of fighting authoritarianism, so one doesn't always have to look to Europe. Nazi lawyers looked to Jim Crow for inspiration for their racist laws. Read as much about struggles against Jim Crow as you do about other examples of resisting authoritarianism

I'm a chronic 10-times-in-a-row sneezer and even I think it's ridiculous.

One of our supporters shared this with us—people are getting creative tonight!

The point: this country was built by

We are incredibly lucky to live in the internet age, where we have easy access to these voices and lessons.

Stop taking up all of the space and just LISTEN. And then, do something.(5/5)

The show wasn’t for us. Shut up, sit down, and hear the message it sent. Stop centering whiteness. Do some research. Follow Black creators, especially Black women, on your socials. They’ve been trying to tell us all of these things for 250 years. (4/5)

KL is a Pulitzer-winning artist who came to remind everyone of that in a way that was brilliant, poetic, and real. This show wasn’t for us and that’s beautiful. It was for the millions of Black people who have been leading the path toward liberation for EVERYONE for the last 250 years. (3/5)

The point: this country was built by the blood, sweat, and tears of Black folks who have been (and still are) consistently denied their basic human right to enjoy the same privileges we do. They have always, and still continue to, carry this country on their backs. (2/5)

White folks: it's okay if you didn't like Kendrick Lamar's halftime show. To say it was boring, though, is to miss the entire point. (1/5)

Went out walked around my neighborhood tonight to absorb some of the communal joy. I don't care much about football, but I really love how much joy Philly gets from these big wins. People are gonna do stupid shit out there tonight, but the citywide celebration gives me all the feels. I 💜 u, Philly

I've lived in Philly for most of my adult life and I have completely fallen in love with with it. What a weekend to be visiting! Enjoy the Eagles party!

Be careful out there tonight, Philly! Go Birds!

This Super Bowl Sunday, here's a reminder of what real courage looks like.

Stop playing by the rules. The game has changed.

Whoa, this is brilliant!

There's validity in saying someone needs to help exMAGAs back to the real world after they leave their cult.

But.

I used to be really good at hearing people from the other side and explaining things calmly and kindly.

I don't think I'm capable of that now. I don't know if or when I'll get there.

Today's library haul is all over the place. What should I read first?

Hello, fellow ST fan and friend of Garak! Love the shirt.

I sincerely don’t know why people aren’t physically stopping those dorks. Move shit. Lock doors. Lose the keys. Everyone switch seats. Turn off all the lights. Switch the signs on the elevator lobby. Make the settings all silly. Use a different language. Wear costumes. Fill rooms with balloons

We were just told that they won’t let us in. They are denying entry to 2 dozen members of Congress. Elon Musk has all our private information & we have no idea what he’s doing with it. This is happening completely behind closed doors. HELL NO. It’s illegal. We demand oversight!

We are members of Congress at the Treasury Department. We want to be let in to provide oversight on behalf of our constituents. @jasmineforus.bsky.social @sethmagaziner.bsky.social
