Let's try this again 👋

Hi Bluesky - I'm Massachusetts' Attorney General. You might know me from suing President Trump nearly 50 times, beating Uber and Lyft in court, or being the first woman of color elected to statewide office in MA.

I officially left X today - help me find my MA people?

Librarian here. We grant library cards to ALL residents, no matter their age or legal status. Our ID requirements pertain to establishing residency only. Do not invoke libraries, which embrace *everyone* in its civic fold, as a precedent for measures designed to *suppress* civic participation.

SO MUCH THIS, I am also so very tired of this, shaming terrible people is great but shame them for the REASON THEY ARE TERRIBLE and not for anything about their bodies or appearances

This is…a lot.

In addition to her husband being investigated, the Labor Secretary herself is also being investigated for “having an inappropriate sexual relationship with a subordinate—a member of her security detail—and abusing her office by taking staff to strip clubs…”

Title slide reading ‘Mail In Ballots: What Voters Need to Know. Recent changes at the US Postal Service make timing much more important this year. This is especially true of voters with disabilities for a few reasons.” It also features a blue “VOTE” sticker icon. This image reads: “USPS recently updated their postmarking guidance. This doesn’t change how ballots are mailed, but it does mean postmarking may not always happen the exact day USPS gets your ballot. When it comes to submitting your ballot, we are encouraging folks to give yourself as much time as possible prior to state deadlines with upcoming primaries and the midterm elections.” This image reads: “Why does this matter? Mail may take longer in some places. Because USPS has combined some mail processing centers, postmarks might show up later than expected, even if you mailed your ballot on time.” An image of a clock is also present. This image reads: “Don’t wait. Plan ahead. USPS recommends mailing ballots at least 7 days before the postmarking deadline.” An image of a public USPS mailbox is also present.

Mail-in voting rules haven’t changed, but timing has.

Know the USPS postmark guidance updates, plan ahead, and protect your ballot.

The billionaires' eugenics project: how Epstein infiltrated Harvard, muzzled the humanities and preached master-race science Edge - Jeffrey Epstein's favourite intellectual salon - was sold to me as a gathering of the world's finest minds, writes Virginia Heffernan.

MUST READ:

The best synthesis I have seen so far of things I knew or had put together from various sources but had not really seen pulled together 🧪

Importantly, I don’t think these academics were an aberration. I think a lot of scientists would have entered these circles, given the option.

If you are wondering what words the all-male Congress found so "blasphemous" that they felt compelled to literally scrape them off the monument, they were: ''Woman, first denied a soul, then called mindless, now arisen, declared herself an entity to be reckoned.''

For me one of the most disturbing aspects of the links between Epstein and academia is that the power and incentive structures that encouraged this entanglement are all still in place. Structurally, nothing has changed.

Republicans' Big Ugly Bill gave Trump $190 billion for DHS, including $75 billion for ICE and $65 billion for CBP.

That's money Republicans stripped from rural hospitals and helping people afford health care.

Congress should claw it back and put serious restraints on DHS.

Honestly nothing feels different here today at all. There are still ICE raids all over, they're still letting people out at Whipple into the cold with nothing, and like you said, people still need food and rent money.

I know you know this, but for folks who aren’t here:

ICE uses racial profiling and AI tools that “estimate” your chance of citizenship to decide who to detain. They often refuse to accept documentation of someone’s right to be in the U.S.—and may destroy it instead.

Out of curiosity, I just ran a few paragraphs from The Butchering Art through an AI checker and it got flagged: 88% AI. This book was released in 2017, and AI machines were subsequently trained off it. How many writers are getting flagged for AI because of the literal theft of their work(s)? Insane.

Fascism thrives on spectacle & complicity. CBP/ICE/police are forces of terror that feed off illusions of their own invincibility. Their power depends on us hiding, shrinking & giving into fear. They want deference—we serve back defiance because we know we have each other. Minneapolis doesn’t cower🖤

This or just dumping people *in the woods* AND sending folks out w/o their phone or I.D.

Volunteers w/ Safe Haven wait at the gate & do sweeps of the woods, with warm clothes, a burner, and a ride home, "so no one is left alone at the gate."

Every time I talk to someone outside of Minnesota, we always spend time on *really* basic things they have don’t understand about what is happening here.

So let’s do a Q&A. What are your most basic questions about what’s going on in Minnesota?
