We have a couple teens who hear about current events. We try to provide context but for them these recent events are far removed from their social world (unlike school shootings). They’ve long been told they’re expendable so maybe as a result they’re generally compassionate to victims of power abuse
Wow

It took Netanyahu 29 years, but he finally found an American president who was itching to go to war with him against Iran.
One Minnesota.
This morning Minnesota woke up to news of a brutal act of violence targeting public servants. I am heartbroken to learn that our Speaker Melissa Hortman, Sen. John Hoffman and their spouses have been shot.
@mcuban.bsky.social its everywhere. Go to any local school board meeting or community action group. Pointing it out won’t stop it. This is the air we breathe now. The big challenge is to progress in spite of it.
Watch the slow motion: it appears to me that the officers discuss the photographer and reporter before the one on the end fires on them (it looks to me like he's aiming at the camera, not the reporter, but you decide)
Senator Ted Cruz posted a dramatic video of LAPD cars on fire with the caption “this… is… not… peaceful.” What he didn’t mention? The footage was from 2020, not 2025. His post on X falsely implied it was current, part of a broader effort to spread lies and manufacture a crisis.
Lots of talk today about the demise of BlueSky. For whatever it's worth, it's been a boon to indie publishers like us. Twitter and Facebook have pretty much silenced us, so the engagement here has, and continues to be, wonderful.

Walz: If you say you love freedom but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love is not freedom, it is privilege.
doublespeak alive and not-so-well
Hello Madame Vice President! 👋
I’m with you all in spirit!!!
Escape from politics is the epitome of privilege. What do we owe those for whom there is no escape? We owe them to face discomfort and do better
“Hands Off!” at the Kentucky Capitol in Frankfort.
Record SMASHED
The record for the longest filibuster was set by U.S. Sen. Strom Thurmond (SC). He spoke for 24 hours 18 minutes against the Civil Rights Act of 1957.
He was one of many senators who filibustered for 57 days up until the Civil Rights Act was passed on June 19, 1957.
Hope to see this broken today.
Hello Hillary!
@wikipedia.org thanks for ditching Xitter!
114 years ago, a fire broke out at the 10-story Triangle Shirtwaist factory in NYC and killed 146 workers, mostly young women. They were trapped inside because the owners locked the fire escape exit doors.
Forevermore, I will never not notice this
@nicolefoy.bsky.social HSI/ICE went around Morgantown WV the past couple days and took many people from our community, mainly poor restaurant workers it seems . It’s hollowed out our town even more that has already been hit by closure of Viatris, RIFs at WVU, and federal agency RIFs. 💔
