“There's no question that the general locking-down of more and more of the public web is impacting society’s ability to understand what's going on in our world."

I'd love to see a robot deal with some of the things I've seen in the classroom this week.

Three countries stood alone as 123 nations voted to formally label the transatlantic slave trade the “gravest crime against humanity” the U.S., Israel, and Argentina all voted no on the Ghana-led UN reparations resolution.

Ugh, yeah. I'm glad I was staffing a Really Really Free Market today because it helps make me believe people can be better to each other.

I’m so fucking tired of hearing about Trump every fucking day..

I'm late Gen X and all I'm saying is Millennials got fucked harder than anyone else. They were raised on post 9/11 American media and government and it's just been an endless stream of shit. And I'm not even talking about the 09 collapse. The wars, watching guns shred schools, social media insanity

A son of sharecroppers, a Freedom Rider, a moral force in Congress, John Lewis taught us that democracy is not a state, it is an act. When we see injustice, we do not look away. We get in good trouble. And we build bridges despite adversity. Happy Heavenly Birthday, Congressman.

Today, we celebrate the life and legacy of John Lewis—and his lifelong fight for civil rights, democracy, and human dignity.

May we all get into a little good trouble—today and every day.

Don’t turn on the State of the Union on Tuesday. Make it the lowest rated in history.

I believe in giving credit where it’s due. Hang the entire Gorsuch concurrence in the Louvre.

Master class in telling your colleagues they’ve lost their fucking minds.

Yeah, this was one of the reasons some of us were so excited when this new bridge was announced.

So NJ lawmakers wrote a bill to rein in ICE.

And this is what they called it.

You don’t write like AI—AI writes like you. Defend the em dash.

I didn't before, but I sure do now! It's glorious.

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Indefinite detention is not supposed to be a thing in America. That’s how you know this is more like a concentration camp rn, and it’s not the only one.

ICE has been holding a disabled double amputee named Rodney Taylor in a camp for a year.

He’s been in the US since he was two years old.

It’s all he knows.

When they detained him, they denied him access to new prosthetic legs.

His health is declining.

Find the answer by using the @kenwhite.bsky.social principle. Works with most things but it was literally made for this moment.

I studied the latest Epstein files. As a woman, this is what I felt They show a hidden world oiled by porn-saturated misogyny. I spent two days reading them

Sensation of clicking on Epstein files is like taking the back off the world clock. We see behind the grand façade usually presented by men who run the planet.. we also see their everyday exchanges making cogs of the world turn, oiled by porn-saturated woman-hating. www.thetimes.com/article/3c43...

Kash Patel today: "You cannot bring a firearm, loaded, with multiple magazines to any sort of protest that you want."

Really?

Dr. King prepared us for this moment. I remain calm despite the coordinated, unrelenting attacks on Black people, on Black bodies, on Black votes, on Black power, and Black progress.

Because our ancestors wrote the blueprint for our survival.

do not speak to me of this so called online internets i was there when the internet was on a CD and answering the phone ended your connection it took 3 hours to watch a music video

I was telling one of my kids that it was physically impossible for an ad to play between songs on any of the records I own, and they asked "and you only have to pay for it once?" and you could see how strange that seemed. You cannot overstate how many basic rules of media consumption have changed.
