As the vandalism proliferated, Sarah believes that it made an impact on AI discourse. “Maybe I’m being optimistic but … it made me feel like pushback is possible, and it’s happening,” she said. One New Yorker even went viral on TikTok after dressing as a vandalized Friend ad for Halloween.

Minneapolis is a precursor—and an opportunity As our government targets, abducts, and kills us, in Minneapolis we are presented with an opportunity to rely on each other in ways that are ancient but feel new

Redlining links Black women and higher rates of breast cancer Recent research shows that living in redlined neighborhoods increases the risk of breast cancer for Black women

Redlining links Black women & higher rates of breast cancer, @shapersyris.bsky.social reports on new research. The way American cities & systems are structured—& the way Black people are treated within them—prove to be key determinants of health.

We've appealed @moderation.bsky.app's decision to censor this image twice with no response. We explained that a routine (& necessary!) exam for cancer prevention is neither sexual nor suggestive. Depicting and informing at-risk populations about these exams is crucial for early cancer detection.

Dear @moderation.bsky.app,
I cannot, for the life of me, understand how a photo of a Black woman wearing a strapless bra, obviously giving herself a breast exam, could POSSIBLY be considered "! Adult Content".
Please fix this.

Never eat the candy on your pillow: reentry politics Your circumstances rarely change with reentry no matter who’s president, and it’s easy to forget that there is power in the political

"To remain silent is to consent to the suffering of others. My reluctance is fading, replaced by a quiet conviction: that love, when practiced deliberately, is a political act," Derek R. Trumbo, Sr. writes in his latest column: https://prismreports.org/2026/02/24/reentry-politics-community/

A victory in Denver and a warning in Miami as Palantir relocates HQ Colorado organizers celebrated the surveillance giant’s move after more than a year of protests, while Miami immigrant communities organized their own pushback

“Pushing Palantir out of the city is important,” Morris said, but the long-term goal is “to isolate and sanction this company and limit their influence as much as possible in our lives” by pressuring corporate clients, institutions, and politicians to cut ties.

Rev. Paul Brandeis Raushenbush, who participated in the "People's State of the Union" outside of the House chamber, warned that the administration is weaponizing “a narrow idea of ‘religion’ to advance a repressive, authoritarian agenda.”
