A library director in Wyoming who was fired two years ago because she refused to remove books with sexual content and LGBTQ themes from a library's children and young adult sections has just been awarded $700,000 in a settlement. t.co/EA5L1kOZfV

A surprising choice by the Nobel Committee. One (US-centric) interpretation is they didn’t want to give it to Trump but figured giving it to a Trump ally who is a genuine anti-authoritarian leader would mollify him. And encourage him to pursue peace at a time when he’s pursuing military escalation.

These lyrics are horrible. What is this infatuation with homogeneity (and whiteness ofc) that we are seeing everywhere???

Can I also say I am so angry today. It's the lives lost, the cities wiped out, the time taken from us. We have been consumed with this level of unspeakable violence for 2 years. To think of all the potential futures taken away... it's unfathomable

“this is yet another way to control women; another way to reduce us to walking wombs rather than multidimensional human beings. This war on Tylenol is also very much a war on women”

So much energy and righteous anger here after the horrifying attack against a woman by an ICE thug earlier today.

1/ I’m Till Eckert, a ProPublica reporter. For the past 2 weeks, I’ve been going to the same NY immigration courthouse.

Nearly every time, I see ICE agents arresting immigrants. Today, a woman was slammed to the ground after begging officials not to take her husband away.

Normalcy isn’t clickable
joanwestenberg.com
I keep seeing articles about 'scientists baffled by unexpected finding' and it's always something like 'people who exercise feel better.' Are scientists actually chronically baffled or do we just have a journalism problem where normalcy isn't clickable?

An insightful piece on gaslighting and hagiography, by @mmasnick.bsky.social, worth your time…

“these aren’t actual debates in the classical sense of trying to persuade, they’re spectacles designed to set up bad faith dipshits with the opportunity to dunk on others for social media clout…”
