I have turned off true crime podcasts with less gruesome details and more empathy than this SOTU.

Do not shave your head.

Democracy is when voters choose their leaders. Autocracy is when leaders choose their voters.

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

They sang American Idiot, we have such a low level of political literacy.

I have things that I'm putting off until after Mardi Gras.

I feel like I really live here now.

Those are the hardest working scare quotes in the business.

What is the goddamn bar for calling something racist without qualification if monkey videos don’t make the cut?

Policy brief quote card featuring Jamie Morgan from Tulane University. The maroon background displays the quote: 'Building a future rooted in gender equity means confronting violence directly and creating conditions where everyone can live, parent, and seek care without fear.' A circular headshot photo of Jamie Morgan, a person with dark hair and glasses, appears in the lower left. The Scholars Strategy Network logo is in the lower right corner.

In this policy brief, @depechealamode.bsky.social (Newcomb Institute) explains how anti-abortion violence has escalated since Dobbs and argues for stronger protections for bodily autonomy, including enforcement and community-based safety strategies.

It's easy to see these men as individual bad apples. But I'd argue--the bigger problems are "elite" universities' look-the-other-way approach to dealing with big-name bad actors, and the fact that, societially, we let "elite" universities play such a big role in determining who can get ahead.

“There’s no single answer that will solve all our future problems. There’s no magic bullet. Instead there are thousands of answers—at least. You can be one of them if you choose to be.”

Also very Japanese American internment. So many family homes and farms seized for pennies on the dollar by white neighbors

This witness to Alex Pretti's murder not only refutes the governmen't story, but says she is afraid to go home because federal agents might arrest her. This is what it feels like to live under state terror.

Something you almost certainly won’t see in the national news is how many tiny protests are all over the Twin Cities today.

They’re at stoplights. Parks. Bridges. Just everywhere. And people walking by are joining in. The solidarity is so deep.

It’s beautiful and brave. I love this city.

"They say they're coming to save us from some evil? They're talking about our neighbors who take care of us ... Alex was murdered while he was helping. Mr Rogers said look for the helpers, & right now the helpers have a target on our forehead ... Mr Rogers would be here right now too, so I'm here."

I began my talk with a solidarity statement on the Minnesota general strike and the power of stories to call people to action. Abortion advocates know what it means to put our bodies on the line for collective freedom and Minnesota is showing us what beloved community looks like.

We commemorated Roe v. Wade yesterday with a visit from @jessicavalenti.bsky.social of Abortion Everyday.

As in: their first project was to decide and write the ChatGPT policy for the class.

Here's what happened:

Voting was one of my last acts living in Virginia and leaving it better than I found it.

Anit abortion protestors often bring their children to protest clinics.

My research found young kids were regularly alone, unsupervised, and playing by dumpsters in the neighboring Arby's parking lot when not used as props by their parents to harass patients and providers.

How One Clinic Saved Abortion Access in a Deep-Red State Julie’s involvement with abortion care began in 2001, when she began work with Dr. George Tiller.

@carolejoffe.bsky.social and @dsc250.bsky.social share the story of Wellspring Health Access, the only abortion clinic in Wyoming, in @slate.com

While the clinic has faced many challenges, it offers a ray of hope in the face of attacks on abortion access

Boston delegation should be inviting them in for a live performance in the Triangle.

Life Under a Clicktatorship What happens to government when everything is content?

New, from me: The Trump administration isn’t just using social media to shape a narrative. They view the world through a social media lens in a way that is plausibly corrupting their judgment and undermining their performance.
Welcome to the clicktatorship. 🧵
