International Women’s Day is a moment to recognize the extraordinary contributions women have made throughout history, often in the face of barriers and inequality.

Progress toward a fairer world has always depended on those who were willing to stand up, speak out, and change it.

International law was never perfect.
But it acted as a guardrail between nations.

If that guardrail disappears, the road ahead becomes much more dangerous.

Two of the sweet little girls were slaughtered in Iran by the United States and Israel.
They were buried today.

Future voters will not accept any excuses for enabling this genocide
The only ones who don’t know it are the owner / donor class who do they enabling.
Gazas is now linked to the class struggle of the oligarchs vs 1%
The billionaire class wants genocide to be whitewashed.

Everyone knows it

He could have stayed quiet afterward. He didn’t. He testified under oath about what happened. He refused to soften the truth. He defended the Constitution, not a party.

Michael Fanone is a hero — not because of a slogan, but because of what he did. If that is not courage, what is?

Pretty amazing that comms person at FBI called my @ms.now colleague @kendilanian-nbc.bsky.social a liar and demand a correction only for Kash to post a photo from the locker room

I have been denied entry to the SIS Building, Porton Down & GCHQ by the UK government.

Funny how Donald Trump's “Board of Peace” suddenly looks less urgent now that the courts clipped the constant tariff threats. Amazing what happens when leaders realize they don’t have to sign up just to avoid economic punishment every five minutes.

Two copies of a black, white and red book cover. The cover reads UNCORRECTED PROOF NOT For SALE SECOND SIGHT: HOW THE WONDER AND VISION OF BLACK MEDIAMAKERS PUSH AMERICA TOWARD FREEDOM SARAH J. JACKSON My light brownish hand with chipped purple glitter nail polish holds the books

Thrilled to have galleys of my book in hand! Final corrections & index pending. Please consider preordering, gifting, & teaching. Via the archive, interviews & more I show how the crisis we face now reflects failure to listen & act on the democracy Black folks have envisioned, but we still can.

ICE is built around coercion and intimidation.
That culture doesn’t translate to community policing or schools.

So no, former ICE agents shouldn’t become cops or teachers in California.

America vs. the World - By Robert Kagan
President Trump wants to return to the 19th century’s international order. He will leave America less prosperous—and the whole world less secure.

The Trump administration’s NSS made it official: The American-dominated liberal world order is over.

Every name tied to the Epstein files is now on my disrespect and permanent skepticism list.

I will never see these people the same way again. From here on out, every decision or moral stance they take gets questioned.

It's not guilt by name alone. But no one casually ends up in Epstein’s orbit.

🚨 Know your rights 🚨

ICE cannot enter your home or break down your door without a judicial warrant signed by a judge

📄 An ICE/DHS “administrative warrant” is NOT enough.
🚪 If there’s no judge-signed warrant, you can say
“I do not consent to entry”

No warrant = no entry
Fear doesn’t change the law

What about Stephen Miller?
Whether he’s “sick” or not doesn’t matter. What matters is that he doesn’t see anything wrong with himself. People like that are the most dangerous when they’re given power. But here’s the part people forget: He isn’t permanent. Trump isn’t permanent.

In 2015, when Donald Trump came down the escalator and announced his run for president, I didn’t see a novelty act. I recognized a pattern. The language of grievance. Scapegoats. Contempt for democratic institutions. The strongman claims that only one man could “fix” a humiliated nation. Autocracy!

The day after Catherine O’Hara died, multiple AI platforms insisted she was alive.
They spoke in absolutes. They dismissed evidence. They were wrong.

Mistakes happen. False certainty is the real danger.

Verify. Question. Never outsource judgment to machines

In times when trust in police, federal agencies, and government feels increasingly fragile, people like Stella Carlson, Renée Good, and Alex Pretti remind us what civic courage actually looks like.

Bearing witness.
Living with integrity.
Refusing to be erased or silenced.

Donald Trump has repeatedly claimed that everything is fine in the country, that order has been restored, and that his administration has brought safety and stability back to America.

That’s what he says.

Now explain two people dead.

I’m pausing image posts on Bluesky.

Photos disappearing isn’t a “small bug.” It defeats the purpose of sharing visual content at all. Until they fix it, there’s no point.

I’ll stick around, but images are on hold.

Alex Pretti's last words: "Don't touch her!" "Are you okay?"

If and when people finally come to their senses, the hardest part won’t be admitting they were misled. It will be living with what was done in the meantime — the harm to innocent people that can’t be undone.
