This is exactly how I feel

I love that we’re all unanimously like “listen that building is not sacred to me and it has a bloody history and if it came down ethically I probably wouldn’t shed a tear, but watching this man smash a wrecking ball into the side of it from sheer selfish malice has unexpectedly fucked me up”

This is what the NYT thinks you should know about Japan's new rightwing militarist PM. The same paper that exposed the LDP-CIA connection back in 1997. "Japan Has a New Leader, and She’s a Heavy Metal Drummer." www.nytimes.com/2025/10/21/w...

All this cruelty and ugliness because these fuckers couldn't accept a country that elected a black president.

Hey @reichlinmelnick.bsky.social-- do you know if anyone is litigating the new DOT regulations limiting which non-immigrants can get Commercial Driver's Licenses?

WOBBLY BLACK CAT 🍉 @eleventimezones.com · 11h

That's....a lot.

Meet new crime author Catherine Merridale. She's studied Russian history and society for over 40 years and has turned all that knowledge into a fascinating detective novel set during 1934, just as Stalin's show trials were getting into full swing: crimefictionlover.com/2025/08/meet...

Why is Tucson not covered in arcades? We need some damn shade in this city

Melissa & Chris Bruntlett @modacitylife.com · 1d

Turin is a city best experienced on foot—although often, one hardly realises they’re outdoors. Stretching 18 kilometres through the historic centre, its network of covered porticos—elegant arcades lined with shops, cafés, and galleries—creates one of Europe’s most extensive pedestrian environments.🧵

People in casual autumn attire walk through the covered porticos of Turin—wide, sheltered footpaths that feature shopfronts, lighting, and seating.

Dr. Damien P. Williams Wants A Better Sociotechnical Paradigm @wolvendamien.bsky.social · 1d

I wonder what it's going to take for a history textbook to ever state plain the fact that a Black liberal being elected President of the United States broke this country's psyche so hard that it spent the next (at least) 8 years simultaneously schisming itself & pretending it wasn't.

Because, like…

This is not being covered by their local media. My mom lives nearby and had to learn about the penis arrest from me, all the way in Arizona!

Really not looking forward to a repeat of 2004-06, when all of the various grievances against Bush got subsumed under the goal of electing Democrats, then forgotten about because Dems wanted the same things

Well Adelita Grijalva was at the one in Tucson but we can’t get her sworn in so I don’t know if you count her as a member of Congress or not

It’s here! My first solo published article is available online and in print. This article is the origin of my research on enforced disappearances of migrants that I began 3.5 years ago. Its relevance has only grown in importance. I hope you’ll take a look: digitalcommons.law.scu.edu/lawreview/vo...

The regime tried to scare people and failed. That's good.

Love this sign! We were able to buy one at the Tucson Meet Yourself event downtown. Also, always: #abolishICE.

Helen shared this photo from the Tucson No Kings event, where a woman standing with two other people holds up a sign that says, Alto A Los Secuestros Protege A Sus Vecinos.

I think perhaps an angle might be to take them at their word. "I am no longer in touch with her. Can you please provide her contact information so I can verify this information with her directly?" Maybe even provide a quote from your mother? Or perhaps something like,"She passed away. Are you sure?"
