This is a beautiful story

Gabrielle Hecht 🇵🇷 got a few spoons back from Zohran's triumph @gabriellehecht.bsky.social · 17d

Purdue to the rescue of IU student newspaper, whose institution was attempting censorship. Details in alt!

I'm sure many of you have heard by now that earlier this week, IU k*lled the print edition of its student paper, the IDS. The issue that was supposed to print this week contained criticism of the Whitten regime and IUs further slide into scist control, and they couldn't allow that to happen during Homecoming, when all the rich alumni are in town.
Enter Purdue! The Purdue student paper, The Exponent, owns its own presses. Yesterday, in an act of tremendous solidarity with their biggest rival school, they printed the forbidden issue of the IDS. They then drove it to Bloomington overnight and stocked all of the IDS boxes on campus, just in time for Homecoming.
Solidarity is what makes us stronger, and solidarity will be what ultimately allows us to triumph, if we can ever truly get it together. I hope everyone has a fun, safe day if they're going out today, and I hope we can think about what acts of solidarity we can begin taking to really make this movement MOVE - beyond a permitted expression of upset into more active resistance.

Trump: "The ones that are run by radical left Democrats -- what they've done to San Francisco, Chicago, New York, Los Angeles. They're very unsafe places & we're gonna straighten them out one by one. This is gonna be a major part for some people in this room. That's a war too. It's war from within"

The silence after Temu Patton’s sermon was epic. Quite brave of him to speak to a room filled with the leaders in charge of defending the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. Especially when it could have been a Zoom call.

I wrote about what I think is a genuinely revealing document of elite depravity and impunity. It is shocking and sickening. But it's also a crucial moment. We're about to see what happens when conspiracy theorists actually get what they asked for but it turns out not to be what they want.

The workers stayed on the roof and agents drove away in a Border Patrol SUV on four flat tires, which had been slashed

Using black walnut shells in baths is a traditional Hoodoo practice that existed long before the internet. Good for cutting ties with an ex after a messy breakup.

this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like

Why should I write better when a machine can do it for me?
Because actually no one can do it for you, because your voice is unique among all the people on earth. Siri never petted a horse's neck. Alexa has never been ghosted by the captain of the football team. But you have lived, your heart is beating, you have suffered, and you have something important to say. It's a human's job, to use words, and whatever job you give to a machine, that part of your brain goes dark. Maybe it's worth it when it comes to remembering phone numbers and directions, but when that part of your brain that uses words goes dark, that's a vast area that's very close to your soul. Don't let some internet platform convince you that what you have to say and create isn't worthwhile. Words are the echo of your soul. Honing that echo matters.

On March 15, President Donald Trump’s administration sent more than 230 Venezuelan immigrants to a prison in El Salvador. Last week, the men were released as suddenly as they’d been taken away.

Now, their stories will begin to be told.

On this call right now and it's funny because most of the guidance for combat vets in attendance is "PLEASE PLEASE do not pick fights with ICE agents at the courthouse."

This is, of course, important, but it reflects how incandescently angry veterans are over the treatment of our Afghan allies.

Jeffries: "As a result of the all-out Republican assault on healthcare, people will die. Tens of thousands, perhaps year after year, as a result of the Republican assault on the healthcare of the American people. I'm sad. I never thought that I'd be on the House floor saying this is a crime scene"

The ugly, violent clearing of Chavez Ravine before it was home to the Dodgers

Never forget. Before Dodger Stadium was a legendary baseball venue, the area was home to generations of families, most of them Mexican American.

I wonder if any of them are aware of the history of that location. The city used eminent domain and violence to steal that land and destroy an entire tight-knit Mexican neighborhood called Chavez Ravine. Promised public housing never happened, and the stadium was built instead.
