I’m so sorry. I read the linked article. She sounds like she was a truly good and interesting person.

We are stepping up to support climate science, solutions, and public service.

Announcing the Climate Science Serving America Fellowship program!

Seek out and watch this story. Do it.

😂 Sent a screenshot of this post to my daughter, who is a Courtauld MA alum (early modern Netherlandish art) and may have actually had this experience.

Yes he was handsome. But give some credit to the meticulous attention his wife Anna Murray Douglass paid to his care, his home, & the presentation of his garments. It was Anna, a free woman who he met in Baltimore, who out of her meager savings gave FD the money for his train ride to escape.

Yes it’s Valentine’s Day. But it’s also the chosen birthday of Frederick Douglass who was born in 1818 on a plantation in Talbot County, Maryland. He escaped from slavery & rose to become the most eloquent and forceful voice for the abolition of slavery & for Black voting rights in the U.S.

Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

It also looks like this! ☺️

That guy’s ego really knows no bounds.

Enraging. The school food movement has been working on this for 👏🏻 decades 👏🏻, with support from USDA, state and local governments, and foundations. Trump administration cuts to its own staff and funding programs have decimated that work. It’s much more complicated than buying an oven, kids. Idiots.

Fuck CBS Evening News.

There is a beautiful film airing on @pbs.org about this work.

When one mother was taken by ICE, another stepped in to donate breastmilk Moms in Minneapolis are donating diapers, food and time to help families who have been ripped apart by ICE.

In Minneapolis, for every story detailing the fallout of the federal crackdown, there are as many stories of people like Bri, a mom donating breastmilk for babies whose mothers are detained by ICE.

Bri's story:

it's never been easier to dunk on people, all you have to do is answer questions

Disgusting. Repugnant. Wisconsin really only has one senator and it sure isn’t him.

Ron Johnson is one of the most thoroughly repugnant members of Congress and that’s really saying something

They're Coming for Our Daughters The conservative plan to shrink girls’ futures

The Heritage Foundation has released a 250-year roadmap to “save America.”

The document is a how-to guide for subjugating girls & young women: a detailed plan to push them out of college, funnel them into early marriage and motherhood, and then trap them there.

I say this regularly. People use performative as a substitute for 'inauthentic' and we could all just say the words we mean to say. Erving Goffman helps us to understand that we perform all of the time in real life. Life itself is often a performance of self.

This week a whole bunch of Gen X and Gen Z magas belatedly discovered that Rage Against The Machine, Tommy Lee and Green Day are anti-establishment and pretty hardcore anti-fascist, which would have been perfectly obvious the whole time had they taken two seconds to think about it lol.

Please also show the face and report the name of the man who signed “Lift Every Voice and Sing” alongside Ms. Jones!

Shooti @bambooshooti.bsky.social coming with yet another impeccable history lesson for these terrible times. My reading/rereading list just got longer.

Passed the bar (exam), leading to admittance to same.

On Feb 10, I am moderating a conversation at the Center for Brooklyn History about how storytelling and art can lead impacted people and larger society to rethink the systems within the criminal legal system. The event is free and open to the public. www.bklynlibrary.org/calendar/cbh...

YouTube video by The Late Show with Stephen Colbert "There's Nothing I Enjoy More Than Acting In The Theater" - Ian McKellen EXTENDED INTERVIEW

I’m having a hard time thinking of an interview between two human beings I enjoyed more than tonight’s interview of the great Ian McKellen by the great Stephen Colbert. Every moment of it was a pleasure that I highly recommend… but then came the most REMARKABLE ending that you really HAVE to watch.

A portrait of Montreal Mayor Valerie Plante.

A portrait of Barcelona Deputy Mayor Janet Sanz.

What do Paris, Montreal, Barcelona and Brussels have in common?

“If you look at the cities doing the most to reclaim public streets from the automobile and give it to people, they often have one thing in common, and that's strong female leadership.” @thewaroncars.bsky.social

And for all the talented folks whose careers have been in the humanities.

Homeless Oregon youth got $1,000 a month for two years. Most found housing after • Oregon Capital Chronicle Oregon is the second of its kind in the nation to implement the direct cash transfer program after New York City.

"By the end of the two-year period, 94% of participants reported they were housed."

A million pilot programs show the same thing: when people are given enough money to afford housing, homelessness ends.

Other supports matter, but housing comes first. Not policing. Not moralizing. Homes.
