#Racism, it’s said, is like the moving sidewalk at the airport. You can do 1 of 3 things: stand still & let the moving belt carry you, walk with it, or turn around & walk against it. #Antiracism is walking against the status quo. It’s hard work. #HardWorkIsGoodWork

I’ve just noticed the #libsky hashtag on here refers to libraries, not liberals, and I’m here for it. Libraries rock (and deserve all the hashtags)! 📚💙 #BookSky

Mortgage fraud? 😜…AKA Black folks shouldn’t qualify for mortgages…?

Thanks to @lowcarbonkev.bsky.social for the excellent graphic. There don’t seem to be that many of us, but, you know, it’s the birding community, so manage your expectations. 🤣

The conman who was forced to shut down his fake "university" because its operation was consumer fraud, is trying to undermine America's oldest, most prestigious, legitimate university through an abuse of presidential power.

I’ve taken the Senate floor and will speak for as long as I’m physically able to lift the voices of Americans who are being harmed and not being heard in this moment of crisis. Watch here:

Cory Booker is now in his *third hour* on the Senate floor—still speaking with heart, fire, and fierce conviction. He’s not just holding the floor—he’s holding the line for democracy. This is what moral courage looks like. Keep going, Senator. We see you. We stand with you.✊🏽💙 @booker.senate.gov

I agree. This is a test to see if the American public will tolerate disappearances, and if we do, no one will be immune.

“[Claudia] Sheinbaum’s policy of Trump appeasement may well be the least-bad course open to Mexico,” writes @davidfrum.bsky.social. “But it should be seen for what it is, not misunderstood as the brave resistance it most definitely is not”:

When the Obama Presidential Center opens next year, we’ll be highlighting the advocates and everyday Americans from across the country whose stories helped make the Affordable Care Act a reality. Take a listen to some of those stories:

Nutmeg is enjoying a peaceful #Caturday morning ☀️ 😻 #WelcomeSpring

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back. This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008. Also bigger than the 2024 DNC. And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

They will never be able to delete our Civil Rights Heroes from history. The more they try to destroy their stories, the more they will be told.

I guess some people saw me on TV. Thanks @arimelber.bsky.social for talking with me about the Tesla picket in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Teslatakedown.com to find or announce your own protest. Please do. #teslatakedown #fuckelon #fucktrump

The Trump administration has frozen the funds the city was relying on to kick-start its ambitious Philly Tree Plan — a decade-long initiative aimed at expanding the tree canopy. It remains uncertain if the money will ever be released. 🔗 www.inquirer.com/news/philade...

Talk about a good ROI. Vladimir Putin’s investment in Donald Trump is sure paying off. Read @davidcorn.bsky.social's timely newsletter from yesterday.

The People's Union USA, a grassroots group, is calling on Americans to join a national boycott by not shopping for 24 hours on Friday.

We apologize to our Ukrainian supporters. We are embarrassed by how our president and vice president have behaved. We are fighting to redeem the soul of America. 🇺🇸

Grad school, esp. R1 PhD programs in education, social sciences, critical studies of race, class, gender, and ethnicity, the humanities, and fine and performing arts have been under attack for the past 20 years. Those students have student loans and teach undergrads in exchange of tuition.

Doctoral programs are pausing or cutting back admissions. This is just the latest signal that the future of the university is under threat, @ibogost.bsky.social writes: theatln.tc/zrfi0vN4

“Trump and Vance have revealed to Americans and to America’s allies their alignment with Russia, and their animosity toward Ukraine in general and its president in particular,” writes @davidfrum.bsky.social. “The truth is ugly, but it’s necessary to face it.” theatln.tc/OBWzC38t

Dear President Zelensky, As it is likely that our paths will never cross in person, I could not let this day go by without trying to reach you here. I come to you humbly as an American citizen who is thoroughly and completely embarrassed of our leaders. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/to-preside...

Thanks to the 13,000 participants who joined me for our telephone town hall this week to discuss violations of the rule of law and escalating threats to key federal government programs, federal workers and vulnerable communities. We’re fighting back. Check it out below.

Hi Bluesky! Glad to be here.

Don’t just say DEI as if it’s a bad word. Spell it out. Say diversity, which is the lifeblood of American society & culture & innovation. Say equity, which a just society should pursue. Say inclusion, because decent people believe in increasing belonging, not isolating people who are different.
