Agreed! One of my favorite things about Bluesky is that I now know something about both the Scottish separation movement and Australian politics! It is nice to see posts from other parts of the world.

As the Trump administration has sent Border Patrol, National Guard and other federal forces to U.S. cities, it can be difficult to tell them apart, or to understand what powers each agency has. Here's a guide.

I am in the same boat. I am really scared because ICE is so obviously untrained and out of control. I am afraid for my students, myself, and general bystanders.

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

BREAKING: Today, Interior Secretary Doug Burgum opened all 1.56 million acres of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge’s Coastal Plain to oil and gas leasing. These lands are sacred to the Gwich’in Nation, home to irreplaceable wildlife and wilderness, and have never seen industrialization.

Saw the news about the helicopter crash of Illinois’ state senator Darrin Bailey son and family. My deepest condolences to them and the family. What a deep tragedy that nobody should have to endure.

The symbolism of tearing down the wing of the White House that was built by FDR, shepherd of the New Deal for his wife, a fearless advocate for social change and workers' rights, is not lost on me.

Sad to hear Dave Ball of #Softcell no longer with us. Was performing and writing to the very end!

Dave Ball, one half of Tainted Love hitmakers Soft Cell, dies, aged 66

Bandmate Marc Almond paid tribute, saying: "He will always be loved by the Soft Cell fans who love his music and his music and memory will live on."

As SNAP programs are cut nationwide, it amazes me how many people are saying, "Good. They'll have to get off their asses and work if they want to eat," completely ignoring the 11,000,000 disabled people on those programs who would absolutely love to be out working, but can't. Where is your empathy?

"To be called 'woke' in a world that sleeps through suffering is no insult - it is the Gospel. Woke means awakened by compassion. Guided by truth. Humbled by grace. Committed to justice - not just for some, but for all."

I swear, can we just force men to take manners courses? Why do the majority of them sincerely believe that they can say whatever they want to us without repercussions?

People really need to wrap their heads around HOW ATTENUATED our election cycles have gotten.

They're acting like the Maine primary was a race between Platner and Mills only and it's too late for anyone else to jump in.

The deadline to REGISTER FOR IT is in MARCH!

Go out and recruit SOMEONE ELSE

George Stinney Jr. was born on this day in 1929 in Pinewood, S.C. In 1944, the 14-year-old was tried and convicted of the murders of two young white girls after a coerced confession. He remains the youngest person of known age to be executed in the U.S. in the 20th century. /1
