Absolutely delighted to spend the next year making brutal and beautiful covers for @inthesetimes.com
inthesetimes.com In These Times @inthesetimes.com · Aug 6
She draws the picket line, resistance to ICE and life at the border. Her art is journalism and movement work.

This fall, @mollycrabapple.bsky.social joins In These Times as our first-ever Artist-at-Large, in partnership with @puffinfoundation.bsky.social.

A collage features four illustrated magazine covers depicting student protest, political power and anti-ICE resistance, alongside a photo of the artist standing before a large hand-drawn city mural.

Andy Kim has the right idea: MEDIKIDS.

When the health of kids is encouraged, they grow into healthier adults. By the age of 26 they will want to see their benefits extended. Besides being good for kids, Medikids is a good strategy for reaching medicare for all.

The war in Iran began with a dream of violence. The question now is whether that tyrannical emotional state, the utopia of violence, that brought us the war will be applied inside the United States.

This looks awesome! A data viz course from the authors of Data Feminism, @laurenfklein.bsky.social and @kanarinka.bsky.social.

So excited to teach with these materials!

A screenshot of one of the course pages from the Data Feminism for Data Visualization course. The text reads: "Course: Data Feminism for Data Visualization Authors: Lauren Klein Catherine D'Ignazio To get a certificate of completion, sign in to track your progress Content updated in October 2025 This course draws from the award-winning book Data Feminism (MIT Press, 2020), challenging students to consider how examining questions of gender, power, and justice can transform the way we visualize data. Drawing from the rich history of feminist activism and critical thought, we will learn to recognize and counter biases in conventional visualization practices while developing skills to create more ethical, inclusive, and socially responsible visualizations of our own. The course brings real-world examples of data visualization in conversation with theoretical frameworks that question whose perspectives are included (or not) in data science and data communication, illustrating the need for approaches that employ visualization to amplify minoritized perspectives and draw attention to issues of equity and justice.

“No cavalry expected”: that is correct. Gandalf will NOT be arriving over the hill with a million horses at Helm’s deep. Han Solo will NOT be swooping down with the millennium falcon to shoot Darth Vader out of Luke’s way. Wentworth is NOT writing a love letter at the desk!!! Etc etc.

There are people who could stop this if they wanted to stop this craziness. There are constitutional ways to address a president who is running amuck. Those who could get him out of office don't seem to choose that. This is what keeps me awake nights.
There is no calvary expected.

Remembering today that having your heart broken is a necessary step on the path to becoming fully human. Whichever heartbreak is your first, it’s probably critical that a state break your heart so that you can develop a political imagination. If this is your first, I’m sorry and also welcome.

Trump is trying to sell the federal student loan portfolio so predatory companies & his billionaire buddies can keep profiting & preying on our borrowers.

This is dangerous & unacceptable.

Outreach? This euphemism has grown new teeth! #censorship As far as I know speaking truth to government power is what the 1st amendment protects.
masnick.com Mike Masnick @masnick.com · Oct 14
I seem to recall that it was the biggest 1st Amendment attack in American history when the Biden admin alerted social media companies to some content and said "hey does this violate your policies?" Will Matt Taibbi, Michael Shellenberger and (lol) CBS News Editor in Chief Bari Weiss call this out?
Tweet from Pam Bondi: Today following outreach from @thejusticedept , Facebook removed a large group page that was being used to dox and target @ICEgov agents in Chicago. The wave of violence against ICE has been driven by online apps and social media campaigns designed to put ICE officers at risk just for doing their jobs. The Department of Justice will continue engaging tech companies to eliminate platforms where radicals can incite imminent violence against federal law enforcement.

Donald Trump's militarization of our city streets isn't about fighting crime or public safety — it's about consolidating power in his hands.

What he plans to do with that, now or during the 2026 elections, should worry all of us.
