Disability accommodations are a rare thing that actually trickles down. You like curb cutouts? Auto-opening doors? Jar openers? Ramps? Hand rails? YOU’RE WELCOME

Even as an abled person you use disability accommodations every single day.

Supporting accommodations actually helps everyone.

Amazing, wonderful work. @katmahoney.bsky.social maybe you or your colleagues would enjoy this side hustle?

Leach Botanical Garden meets short-term fundraising goal The sprawling 17-acre park in outer Southeast Portland was on the brink of closure. Then community support poured in.

Progress! https://www.opb.org/article/2026/03/09/portland-oregon-leach-botanical-garden/

Judge limits crowd control devices at Portland ICE building, says federal officers must identify themselves A federal judge in Oregon said he would continue to block federal law enforcement from using tear gas and other chemical crowd control devices on protesters outside the Immigration and Customs Enforce...

Cool, cool. “In the sworn interviews played in court, Department of Homeland Security officers demonstrated a lack of understanding about the First Amendment, passive resistance, crowd control tactics and their own agency’s use of force policies.” www.opb.org/article/2026...

i’ve watched this three times. VERY satisfying.

It does make every conversation about who is documented and who is undocumented 10 times more ridiculous. Erasing a marginalized community and erasing the records of the community is incredibly easy. Sure it is fire and flooding, but also a lot of these reviews are not digitized or indexed.

They are murdering civilians on the high seas.

They are murdering civilians in 🇮🇷.

They are murdering civilians in concentration camps.

They are murdering civilians on the streets of 🇺🇸 cities.

These are not problems that can be fixed with new laws or more court orders.

We can bomb their literal children and their desalination plants but if you hit their oil, that hurts Graham’s bottom line. Let’s be discerning here about which war crimes we wanna do together

Who could have predicted that Brian White would score?? *re-reads your preview* Oh

Seeing this reminded me of listening to you on the Money with Katie podcast. Mostly, thank you. Your ability to distill and explain structural social and financial issues in real time blows my mind. Thank you, please keep going

Also the National Women’s Soccer League preseason matches have started, just saying

Is there a stream? 🥹

Big Tuskers Oh wow, I love these photographs of “big tusker” elephants by Johan Siggesson. I didn’t even know big tuskers were a thing — and they may not be for

Sounds like we’re going to lose animals that scrape ground with their tusks? Unless I misunderstand? kottke.org/26/03/big-tu...

Brazilian soccer player suspended for 12 games after sexist remarks about a female referee A Brazilian sports court says it suspended a defender of top-flight club Red Bull Bragantino for 12 matches because of sexist remarks he made about a female referee after a Sao Paulo state league game...

Obviously I am as appalled as anyone that a person of the opposite gender was involved in a soccer match apnews.com/article/braz...

Can't believe this was four short incredibly long months ago.

Who hasn’t had the occasional uh misspoke

Trump ousts DHS secretary Kristi Noem and replaces her with Republican senator Noem’s tenure was marked by killings of US citizens by federal agents, a rumored affair and $220m spent on ads

Surely our troubles are over now (but the headline should say “nominates” not “replaces”) www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

I truly do think all of the "Noem out, Mullin in" posts and stories are failing American democracy right now!

Trump is announcing his nominee.

That's it.

If the Senate majority wants to confirm him, they're a part of this—even after knowing what they know now.

And that matters come November.

You found Waldo!!

Gracias, I had no idea. And I have done a lot of Spanish!

I assumed that there would be some goalbound moment, so it took me a second watch to see it. Thank you for highlighting the details

Exclusive: Iranian girls killed by ‘double-tap’ strikes on Minab school Eyewitnesses describe second blast which killed survivors as they sheltered in prayer hall

The girls’ school in Iran, where 165 people were killed by an apparent US-Israeli attack, was hit with two strikes, with the second missile killing sheltering survivors, two first responders and the parent of a slain child have told Middle East Eye.

many people will tell you that “The Great Gatsby” has the best last page in all of American literature (this is false; it is actually “Mr. Penumbra’s 24-Hour Bookstore”), but I feel resolute in my conviction that “Their Eyes Were Watching God” has the best FIRST page

I would watch that on repeat. Not just because of my yellow mule being discussed. I think I’ve read everything known by Hurston

Hell yeah, thank you. Following them now

Go Jayme Lawson go “She added that the BBC chose not to air aspects of the BAFTA program, including when Akinola Davies Jr. said “Free Palestine” in his speech.” https://thegrio.com/2026/03/01/sinners-jayme-lawson-slams-bafta-and-bbc-for-careless-program-thats-not-inclusivity-thats-exploitation/

Horrific. Another step in the administration’s march toward full fascism
