On Thursday, Sept. 4 at 4 p.m. ET, ProPublica reporter @hannahallam.bsky.social will lead a panel of extremism and political violence experts to discuss how the federal government’s retreat from counter-extremism efforts is reshaping the landscape of domestic security. 📌 RSVP and submit q's:

white americans (as a whole), and other americans who live comfortably will NEVER believe this.
Concern over low birth rates was what the theocracy in Margaret Atwood’s Handmaid’s Tale used to come to power.
#Chick-fil-A is a #christian company. Jesus won't hide your crimes.
I wish people would stop blaming COVID mitigation policies for the acceleration of right wing extremism, and instead acknowledge the fact that we endured a mass casualty and mass disabling event that was mismanaged by narcissistic authoritarians who shifted the blame to marginalized communities
Five bucks said Putin ordered Sanders to attach himself to Platner to kneecap his campaign.
Guys, if Graham Platner is hanging with Bernie, I don't think he's capable of beating Susan Collins, as much as I want Susan Collins beat.
Always a good day to repost this.
Memphis Sanitation Workers’ Strike (1968) – Though not on Labor Day itself, the strike’s demand for recognition of Black workers’ dignity and King’s assassination there permanently linked Black labor struggles to the broader meaning of the holiday. #LaborDay2025
Exclusion from the American Federation of Labor (AFL) – While the AFL was a key advocate of Labor Day, its racist policies barred Black workers from many unions. This made early Labor Day celebrations a reminder of exclusion for many Black communities. #LaborDay2025
Genocide is a policy carried out by the hands of many, tolerated by many more. bsky.app/profile/pete...
I snapped back that he is confused about the smell and it was only Nautica cologne. He made me step out and searched me and the entire vehicle. No drugs whatsoever.
Back in the day, I used to write little books on printer paper and plant myself in the library weekly. The fact that I get to write a book that y'all get to read? What an honor. What a privilege. What a RESPONSIBILITY. I can't believe this is my life. I have no words. Just thank you. THANK YOU!
Congratulations @itsafronomics.bsky.social ! Everyone - make sure to grab a copy of the today released #TheDoubleTax!
Please talk to some Black people before dismissing the psychological impact of having Feds running around the neighborhood hemming people up en masse.
Y’all NEVER cease to amaze me. Because “Burnt Sandals” has me on the fucking floor. 😂😂💀
Man, I feel this. 🙏🏽😭
Ugh
It’s been 55 years since the U.S. government, in coordination with the Chicago Police Department and the Cook County State’s Attorney Office, assassinated 21-year-old Illinois Black Panther Party Chairman Fred Hampton, Sr. while sleeping next to his pregnant fiancée. thetriibe.com/2025/09/city...
How's his ear?
I’ve chatted with a few who would ask for this, specifically lol
One good thing about this very bad time: if I ever suffered from imposter syndrome (which I have not since I was 15) it would be cured watching so many empty suits reveal themselves.
Thank you @nadler.house.gov for representing me and my family in Congress so ably for so many years. You have a great legacy, and I hope you can convince @schumer.senate.gov he can best protect your and his legacies by following your example before the 2026 midterms. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/n...
He stole the hat on 8/28z Then bragged about a "first come first serve" world. Then threatened to sue anyone who mocked him. Today: "i made a mistake." Yeah. You kept digging your own grave deeper for days. Too late for this BS. Enjoy being a societal villain. #FAFO. www.bbc.com/news/article...
Evil racists are global we must resist and fight back!
It was a historic day in Mexico as the first Supreme Court justices to be elected by popular vote began their term. The chief justice of the Supreme Court is Indigenous (Mixtec).
Congratulations 🎊 Mexico 🇲🇽

RIP Graham Greene. Every time he popped up on screen when I was a kid, my mom would excitedly point him out for being an actual Native on the screen. Able to be deadly serious and infinitely hilarious (even in smaller roles like Last of Us), he ate up the screen. Nʌki’wah brother.
All you have to do is look around to figure this out. In my little 'burb which DIRECTLY abuts a major city and is in no way "rural," the sidewalks magically disappear once you cross the line. Maybe it would be easier to tell us what is not about racism in America. Bowling? Just guessing here ..
Sidewalks are, maybe not a surprise to anyone who follows me, are about…you guessed it! Racism! www.popsci.com/politics-ver...
Sad for Coco but so pleased for Naomi. She looked so grounded and calm. And Chrissie kept her mouth shut so it was win-win.
I love Coco and Naomi both. Both Naomi? She earned that win. She needed that win. I hope she felt that win deep in her bone marrow.
Both Graham Greenes were wonderful.
I might drive north to volunteer for this guy. Would love to see Collins defeated.
Beloved Oneida actor Graham Greene has joined the ancestors at age 73. deadline.com/2025/09/grah...
May he rest in peace and power with the ancestors.

Are there any updates about what is happening on the ground in Indonesia?
UNRWA warns there is no space for Palestinians forcibly fleeing Gaza City, as Israeli attacks attempt to forcibly displace nearly a million people to so-called evacuation zones in southern Gaza. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/siqj7j
I think being able to mute white people for 24 hours would make such a huge difference to how we understand the world

Trying to channel my frustration productively. I created this graphic to reduce wear and tear on my keyboard and mind when I'm trying to share thoughts on impeachment. Please free to suggest corrections and/or share if you experience the same frustration.
![IN THE HOUSE House adopts articles by simple majority. Majority party controls agenda & committees. No majority buy-in ? no floor vote. Democrats would need substantial GOP support CONTROL POINTS AND GATEKEEPERS Speaker sets the floor; chairs run markups. No majority support = NO FLOOR TIME Inquiry needs majority/leadership backing. SENATE FIREWALL 67 votes required to convict. [Current Senate breakdown here]. Bipartisan supermajority needed ? extremely unlikely. BOTTOM LINE No historic presidential removal. Control + gatekeepers + 67 votes ? not viable now. Public demand for impeachment not at critical mass](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:mpy4wfckegmnqrgrdrbfausc/bafkreidak6cyc3mkyuncf2d2aekpcncbicsfi5uaz6rr7w5bmmidzhvfey@jpeg "Click to view full size")
Update - the unaccompanied children are off the planes.
Great news!
"Blueskyism" helped make The Onion one of the largest newspapers in the world in less than a year. If we had spent all of our time on Twitter, we'd be poorer, dumber and terminally ill with internet poisoning. He's just angry he's wasting away over there in a nazi agnostic lane that doesn't exist.

In 2001, a flatscreen wall TV was $30,000 USD Today, they are 1% of that original cost at $300 A household robot for use is topping out at $179,000 USD with many others vastly cheaper at $5,000 USD Is a household robot for security, or lawn mowing, snow shovelling going to be under $500 USD soon?
Hmmmm..threaten me with a good iRobot time..

Yep I do both...usually magnesium cream. Acupuncture and TENS helps.

If only he hadn't been one of the assholes telling Biden to step down.

Agreed amazing!!
I absolutely hate the fact that politicians keep taking out tax dollars and hand hundreds of millions of it to the cops, while simultaneously saying we can't afford things like transit, treatment for autistic kids, care for the elderly and impoverished, etc
Today's a good day to learn Colbert found a new job. Hope it's a good one for everybody! #HappyLaborDay
It wasn't until a Sistah spoke up and told them to move & make room, that they came out of their obliviousness and entitlement to move out of the way
On the transit bus the other day, there was an analogy for what non-white people face daily. 2 young white women blocking access to the back parts of the bus,while folks crowded up front.
Did they accept?
Pancakes 🥞 yummy
Pretty sure I am pro-dope slapping idiots that Harriet Tubman would have pew pewed.
Sometimes I think about white people who only know how to talk bad about other white people is to compare them to non white people. It's like all of their education managed to get them to not use the slurs on page but nothing further in comprehension.

FUN FACT: I was recruited to be in the HBO Max docuseries "Celtics City" to get this fact across–however, everyone hates the Boston Celtics except their fans so no one's really seen it... And there's 9 damb episodes.

You'd be surprised the hell early users had gone through in BlueSky that were valid concerns
Love the pics and the hawk was keeping watch for something (food)
Insanity.
Listening to @eedapod.bsky.social always good stuff...food for thought.
Wheni am in my quiet moments (during acupuncture) my thoughts and prayers and energies go out to those who need to be in unions and aren't)

The same reason that they want to talk to swimmers 🏊♀️ after an event when they can barely catch their breath...dinguses all of them.
Oh dear. Coco is playing Naomi. Do not like having to choose!

last time I taught social media we had to talk about propaganda streams, how to spot bot metadata, state interference vs billionaire interference, manipulation of algorithms by bad actors, intelligence operations from various countries on various platforms & how to spot them it was a downer lmao

cheers, champ
The NBA built itself into an empire by stressing players, not teams, starting in the 1980s: Apparel, TV coverage, videotapes. You name it. And don’t get me started on how Nike and Air Jordans accelerated that approach.

One of the less discussed (and less important) side effects that annoys me personally of the anti-DEI movement is the return of the brown haired guy with stubble as the default video game protagonist

It would be great if the government and corporations did the right thing because it’s the right thing to do, but sadly it doesn’t work that way!
