I am blocked by @pookleblinky.bsky.social so I can't quote this fantastic post of theirs, but maybe you can.
Love their message: we can ABSOLUTELY do this, and I believe it is the primary reason the worst people in the world fought so hard to defeat Mamdani: he will keep his promises. 1/2
And yet in their fear of rocking the boat, they've become powerless; the legislative branch of government has, under the leadership of Thune and Johnson, surrendered the power of the purse, the power to declare war, and most of its other powers, except when the Democratic minority prevails.
Whatever happens, this is a deeply shameful episode in American history that will leave a permanent stain on the country.
Repeatedly vowing to commit war crimes against millions of innocent civilians is beyond the pale.
This is madness. This war is illegal and now Trump threatens war crimes and the eradication of an entire country if he doesn’t get his way.
Congress must assert itself and rein in this president.
Armageddon is terrible, but our only other option was allowing 10 trans athletes to play college sports, which has a total of 500,000 athletes.
If we talk about the next coup attempt we prepare for it — and prepare to stop it, says @timothysnyder.bsky.social
I don’t give a fuck what Kristi Noem’s husband is into when it comes to his sexuality (unless it’s illegal).
What I do care about is people like Kristi Noem trying to police everyone else’s personal choices when it comes to theirs.
We don’t really GAF that Kristi Noem’s husband is a closeted cross-dresser, do we?
We care about the absolutely off-the-charts hypocrisy from Noem and so many other Republicans. There’s a reason why Grindr crashes during CPAC.
Whether it’s Kristi Noem getting Mar A Lago face or it’s Bryon Noem wearing enormous fake breasts, the Noems have emerged as unexpected practitioners of gender affirming interventions.
some bell hooks and some hell books

No Kings Protest, Sioux Falls SD 3/28/26
#NoKings in Sioux Falls SD, early estimates are 3,000+ people across at least three blocks, right in John Thune’s backyard. We’re pissed in the red states too.
No heart , no courage , no brains Case for no kings
I like this No kings rally sign
March 28 will be the biggest protest in US history. Find your local No Kings event to make it clear that America rejects the regime’s brutality at home and abroad. app.sosha.ai/s/7eCH0yt1
“In one year, we have lifted 2.4 million Americans, a record, off of food stamps."
The number refers to Americans who are projected to *lose* their benefits following the passage of Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act

In this new environment of censorship and cowardice, the New School cancelled this popular course.
But we'll teach it anyway!
I'm so excited to team up with @seanjacobs.bsky.social and @tonykaron.bsky.social to bring "World Cup and the Politics of Football" to @resistanceschool.bsky.social!
Friends from Minneapolis reporting to me that things are at the point where folks are being hidden in other people's houses and we are in the "again" part of "never again" which the "never" was supposed to preclude

What these goons don't seem to realize is that decades of neoliberal policies have forced the work of care downstream--from the state onto families, and then onto women, who've had to get very good at caring for others through the crises that those same neoliberal policies tend to create.
A major newspaper publishing guide to help people identify the munitions their government is using against them is a real "Late Republic America" timepeice that future historians will comment on.
"ICE OUT" on Lake Nokomis in Minneapolis, as seen from my flight leaving MSP airport
NEW: A Texas county medical examiner found that Geraldo Lunas Campos was choked to death by a guard while he was held in ICE custody earlier this month.
Geraldo is the sixth person to die in ICE detention this year.

This is an open letter written by Grannies Against the Far Right (Omas Gegen Rechts). A young German man, Jan Birkmann, has helped make this happen, and I've promised him to help get the letter out!
It's for American citizens from women who lived through Hitler.
MAGA is fascist. Please read this!
The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.
