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?

Man I'm so goddamn sick of ai. "Wahhh you can't have a reasonable conversation about ai on here," yeah maybe be mad about the two year parade of scam artists and financial charlatans and environmental ruiners who have radicalized everyone against the spell check that agrees with you

Inside ICE’s Only Contract with a Blue State - Bolts As part of a 287(g) contract between state officials and ICE, Massachusetts continues to release prisoners into deportation—even as state lawmakers look to ban other forms of ICE collaboration.

NEW: Of all the states that voted for Harris over Trump in 2024, there's only one where a Dem governor is overseeing an ICE's 287(g) program:

Massachusetts.

Other blue states have quit, or even outright banned it. My colleague on what's happening: boltsmag.org/massachusett...

“While not everyone will be funded, there is some expectation of a fair and transparent review process, and that doesn’t seem to be happening ... For new grad students, or those applying this year, the outright rejection without a clear reason is incredibly discouraging” —@kheyduk.bsky.social

Did it hurt? When your lips fell off kissing the asses of billionaires who don’t care whether you live or die?

They're expediting proceedings to deport our (collective) son and his parents.

Who are legal asylum seekers and absolutely should NOT be forced to return to an area experiencing increased violence

Abolish ICE.

There’s no reforming it.

There’s no compromise.

There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.

At times, this is what #academia seems like 😅

Audre Lorde, in a 1989 commencement address, said, "Remember this, despair is a tool of your enemies. That rumor, 'You can’t fight City Hall,' is circulated by City Hall. Facing the realities of our lives gives us the motivation for action, it gives us the power to change. You are not powerless."

I’m a Polio Survivor. I Don’t Want You to Get It. Polio is once again a public health threat in the United States. Grace is disappointed, though not surprised.

Since polio vaccines may be considered “optional,” do you enjoy the following? Walking, being warm, having energy, driving normally, sports, travel, functional bowel and bladder, strong bones

If you enjoy any of the above, then polio vaccines are not optional, they’re common sense #polio #vaccines

I will just keep repeating. I have never never never seen anything like this. 30 years of reporting.

never ever forgive, never ever forget

Also remember: aurora aren’t constant lights all night long. Timing is essential, as the bright substorms may only last a few minutes.

Watch the realtime data— this app is a good place to start for beginners. Watch webcams to see when the colors suddenly explode, then get outside! aurora-alerts.uk

Excitingly, we've had our first X-class solar flare of the year: it was incredibly long-lived and full-halo'd (we're making up words over here), and most importantly, Earth directed.

It's measured at X 1.95, and is expected to make landfall between 00:00-6:00 GMT 26 Jan.

update: it is difficult but I have been transitioning over to chicago author-date style.

The end goal of Grok sexual harassment is to make women afraid to be visible. It’s a punishment for daring to exist in a way the perpetrators can’t control. There’s no one solution to this, because the problem isn’t just technological. It’s cultural. It’s misogyny. This is just one expression of it.

so like.... that's just pollution then

The whole lot of them spent Jan. 6th lying about what happened 5 years ago. Why should anyone expect them to start telling the truth on January 7th?

Naming a police officer is not doxxing. We aren’t supposed to have secret police in America.

sounds awesome, love the layout of the structure, if I ever teach one day it would be cool to implement something similar!

Flyer text: ANTHRO/ARCHLGY/FEMGEN 139/239 Archaeology and Disability Winter 2026 Mondays and Wednesdays, 1:30–2:50pm Building 200, Room 2:10 WAYS: EDP Course Description: In this course, we will explore the ways archaeology and disability relate to each other, including both the ways archaeologists interpret disability in the past and how ableism shapes the practice of archaeology in the present. We will examine a variety of theoretical frames drawn from Disability Studies and other disciplines and consider how they can be usefully applied to archaeology. Case studies from a variety of geographic and temporal contexts will provide the basis for imagining an anti-ableist archaeology.

Super excited to be preparing for my Archaeology 🏺 and Disability ♿ course for winter quarter! Registration starts this week, and I hope lots of awesome @stanford.edu students sign up! I'll be posting about the class here on BlueSky too, and would love to have some good pedagogy conversations!

I did my PhD at the University of Illinois Urbana Champaign, which has more Chinese students than any other US university. I had the privilege of teaching and collaborating with Chinese students there.

This makes me indescribably angry for them and for all of us who benefit from our work together

The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

Withholding food from children, elderly, and disabled citizens as leverage to cut healthcare is some pretty diabolical shit. #SNAP needs to be fully restored.
