the work unbreaking.org is doing is brave, factual, and necessary - and you need to know it...
and sometimes, yes, the data is indeed "super rough"... but do NOT turn your eyes away from it
this is _your_ government's actions
understand what they are doing
(big thank you to all the volunteers)
"We make the future in the present, when we show up. Don't surrender it to those who would destroy it."
Thank you! At an event last night I said "If the word hope doesn't work for you try, 'Never fucking surrender.'" The word hope seems too sunny to a lot of people, but the heart of it as I'm interested in it is: we make the future in the present, if we show up, and that never surrender part.
It’s not just Ms. Rachel.
The biggest names in children’s educational programming are coming out in force to call for kids to be freed from ICE detention.
Here’s “Reading Rainbow” host @mychal3ts.bsky.social outside the Dilley Immigration Processing Center.
Today is National School Librarian Day. THANK YOU, school librarians & school library workers. We celebrate you. For so many library kids, the school library is the only place they have access to books. It is where they learn to believe that stories are for them. Thank you for your library joy 💛📚🥹🤟🏽
I am proud to be an autistic librarian, proud to be a librarian with ADHD 💚
Jesus wept.
I just called my US rep and senators and told them they have to do everything they can to stop this genocide. I told them I don't care if they're in the minority. They have options. I told them to chain themselves to the White House fence.
Please call your reps, too. reps.fyi
In these moments, we can close off and harden—or reach into our shared humanity and hold each other through the grief.
Let’s choose the version of ourselves that names craters after our beloveds and hold each other through the long night.

NASA just dropped this image of Artemis II astronaut Christina Koch looking back at us. The first woman to ever see our planet in its entirety. I’m not crying you’re crying 🥹🔭🧪 📸: NASA
If you’ve never called your congressional reps before, do it right now.
From space, the moon fully blocks the sun, casting a dark silhouette surrounded by a glowing corona, as seen by Artemis II astronauts after reemerging from the moon’s far side.
After emerging from the far side of the moon, the Artemis II astronauts witnessed something few have ever experienced—a total solar eclipse in space.

A few have suggested that some aspects of this mission--joy, international teamwork, diversity--are being played up to stick it to the hateful attitude of the administration. But I don't think it's that. I think it's just that those things are essential to and inseparable from a mission like this.
Realizing that some of my inexplicable sadness about the Artemis II stuff is that it feels like a trans-dimensional communication from an America that took a different path and chose joy instead of fear and hate.
In light of the recent announcement to disband NSF's SBE program (which includes much of what would cover basic social psychology research), EMP Lab postdoc @amormino.bsky.social put together this advocacy resource guide. Please take a look, share, and let's advocate

I talked with @prisonculture.bsky.social, Alison Macrina, and Katie Clark about libraries as public infrastructure, contested political terrain, and spaces of possibility—and about what it means to fight for them in this fascistic moment.

Today, I talk with @tanuja.bsky.social about rupture and repair in our movements. This is the first of two episodes about conflict, how we process it, and how we can keep our relationships and organizations strong.

The news has moved on, but ICE is still in Minneapolis.
My neighbors are still patrolling streets, driving strangers to work, and providing aid. As a photojournalist at @propublica.org, I wanted to know: What do they look like in their daily lives?
So I picked up my camera 👇
Two young boys were locked up inside ICE's notorious detention center in Texas. Then Ms. Rachel shared their stories.
What do cuts to the National Science Foundation's Directorate for Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences (SBE) have to do with authoritarianism?
Fascists hate sociology. Its lessons impede their control.
