And the fact that ‘AI’ is envisioned by technofascists as accelerating a eugenicist agenda against the most vulnerable in the world

listen. when dolly parton’s sister says it’s time for us all to be prayer warriors for dolly. you fucking pray for dolly

surely we can come up with something better for 7 billion people than being lorded over by a bunch of plundering elderly murder and torture enthusiasts who whisper to each other about printing spare organs so they can immiserate others in perpetuity

enshittification | noun | when a digital platform is made worse for users, in order to increase profits

This isn’t even an AI post as much as it is another anecdote in how social relations in America have been put through a blender of extreme market extraction at the same time that govt/charitable support for 3rd spaces, extracurriculars, social clubs, etc have fallen to their lowest point in decades.

*OH* I never would have made that connection on my own - that’s really neat!

A lot of this country’s problems boil down to straight white men who see themselves as some sort of default “normal” but any variation on that as “an identity” that is “political”

I dont know who needs to hear this, but....

🗣👂 fly whatever flag you want. Thank you for being in the streets

All gas, no breaks.

Also, apropos of nothing in particular, if anyone tries to tell you that the protests in LA are a distraction from the budget bill, kindly remind them that the bill will MASSIVELY expand ICE’s budget, so the two things are very much related.

Thank you so much!

That said I just saw that the schedule from 2024 is still listed on the digital access page - any idea when the current schedule will be developed?

The digital option and accessibility + safety information is some of the best I've seen - thanks for that.

“Covid pancreatitis” is a term I hadn’t heard before - I’m so sorry, that sounds excruciating. I hope you’re starting to feel better!

New data finds Americans are more likely to support labor unions over Big Business than at any time in the past 60 years.

We are witnessing a historic rebirth of worker power.

Rep. Laurel Libby, R-Auburn, recently used my second-place finish in the 1,600-meter run, and that of my teammate in the 800-meter run, to malign Soren Stark-Chessa, the trans-identified athlete who finished first. One of the reasons I chose to run cross-country and track is the community: Teammates cheering each other on, athletes from different schools coming together, and the fact that personal improvement is valued as much as, if not more than, the place we finish. Last Friday, I ran the fastest 1,600-meter race I have ever run in middle school or high school track and earned varsity status by my school’s standards. I am extremely proud of the effort I put into the race and the time that I achieved. The fact that someone else finished in front of me didn’t diminish the happiness I felt after finishing that race. I don’t feel like first place was taken from me. Instead, I feel like a happy day was turned ugly by a bully who is using children to make political points. We are all just kids trying to make our way through high school. Participating in sports is the highlight of high school for some kids. No one was harmed by Soren’s participation in the girls’ track meet, but we are all harmed by the hateful rhetoric of bullies, like Rep. Libby, who want to take sports away from some kids just because of who they are. Anelise Feldman Freshman, Yarmouth High School Yarmouth

this is a letter to the editor from a high school track runner who came in second to a trans girl in a race. her state house rep in maine started talking about it. so she wrote this: www.pressherald.com/2025/05/14/r...

nothing good has ever come from presenting disabled and sick people as a literal threat to the nation

If you avoid a chronic condition because we install HEPA filters in workplaces and you mask in crowds, you’re healthier. And so is everyone who can access the providers you don’t need because there were appointments available. Those ripples of community care matter. And they need policy support

A hand holds up two packages of Pillsbury pre-cut cookie dough. On the left is Salute to Service sugar cookies, which have an American flag on them. The package shows the pillsbury dough boy saluting something. Honestly I feel like this is a flag violation. On the right is a pack of Minecraft cookies.

So often when I go into a grocery store i think about just because you can, doesn’t mean you should.

I think some ppl believe that if they get it right or perfect, they will be able to achieve a lasting solution. But history & sociology have helped me understand that freedom & justice are a constant struggle, so it’s imperative to do what you can when you can w whomever you can each day. 3/3

NYT headline: “Kennedy Advises New Parents to ‘Do Your Own Research’ on Vaccines” Subheader: “In an interview with Dr. Phil, the health secretary offered false information about vaccine oversight and revealed a lack of basic understanding of new drug approvals.”

“And I’m like, what do you mean, you ‘do your own research’? You running a double-blind study in your living room, dawg?”
