I’m not sure what it will take for the labor movement to get into crisis mode, but the crisis is here.

They got people fired for saying this was gonna happen. They called them antisemitic. No one ever learns fucking anything.

Donald J. Trump @realDonald Trump • 19h + In my opinion, today's Jobs Numbers were RIGGED in order to make the Republicans, and ME, look bad — Just like when they had three great days around the 2024 Presidential Election, and then, those numbers were "taken away" on November 15, 2024, right after the Election, when the Jobs Numbers were massively revised DOWNWARD, making a correction of over 818,000 Jobs — A TOTAL SCAM. Jerome "Too Late" Powell is no better! But, the good news is, our Country is doing GREAT! 5.32k 8.77k 40.4k

😬The Supreme Court will consider whether the intentional creation of a majority-minority congressional district violates the 14th or 15th Amendments.

If the answer is yes, SCOTUS will effectively declare that what remains of the Voting Rights Act is unconstitutional. This is very, very ominous.

Honestly if there are sniper holes in the foreheads of children, I don’t care if your own reasoning allows you to sidestep the G-word, there is no logical parsing that can justify these acts, there is no gentlemanly symmetrical warfare based on some colonial guideline, this is mass human hunting.

The real question is, why don't Americans have universal single payer health care? And the answer is capitalism. It's billionaires like you. You're why

when RFK says he wants to “end chronic disease,” what people hear is “he wants to cure us” but what he means is “i want to cull the weak”

We’re fucked :/

Ghislaine Maxwell accuser says she stopped giving sexualized massages to Jeffrey Epstein when she turned 18 and was 'too old for him' "Carolyn" testified at Maxwell's child-sex-trafficking trial that Epstein asked her to bring younger girls to him for sexualized massages.

I'll never forget this victim's testimony.

She died of an overdose not long after the trial.

Imagine being disappeared in one dictatorship, making it to America, and then being disappeared again

The general public is wholly unprepared for how much multi-generational damage this regime will do to scientific endeavors, and the direct knock on effect that will have on every aspect of their lives. From food quality and safety, to clean water, external investment, and the list goes on for days.

This really is the dumbest fucking timeline…

Who Benefits from Destroying the Department of Education This week, the Supreme Court ruled that the Trump Administration can go ahead with its ambitious, ruinous plan of gutting the Department of Education, firing...

why destroy the department of education?

would you believe there's a creepy evangelical organization operating in broad daylight but under the radar whose meteoric rise goes a long way towards explaining it?

South of Midnight is my favorite game released this year, and it’s had some incredible competition IMO. Its story impacted me in so many intangible ways (rough family history too).

You and the rest of the team @compulsiongames.bsky.social games deserve all the praise.

There’s a nonzero chance you will die from a cancer that could have been curable because people who couldn’t pass 7th grade biology and are scared of things like “mRNA” and “riboflavin” and “walkable cities” decided to make their ignorance everybody else’s problem

Congrats, so well-deserved.

Burnout is clinically understood as a combo of 6 factors—work overload, lack of control, insufficient rewards, breakdown in community, absence of fairness, & value conflicts—and only a fraction of it is under your control. Burnout is a systemic problem, so be kind to yourself and hard on the system.

A 1940 newspaper clip from the Springfield Leader and Press, declaring: Superman Poisoning American Children, Irate Nazis cClaim."

"Superman Arouses Teutonic Anger" reads the headline in the Amarillo Daily News"

The right-wing backlash against #Superman this week got me thinking: Has this happened before?

That led to the discovery of these headline — from April 1940, when the official newspaper of the SS took umbrage at the comic book hero and ridiculed its creators.

My how times change ...

Still wild to me how libs will blame leftists for supporting Palestinian liberation but never blame the Democrats for supporting genocide and never consider that maybe the latter is what actually hurt Kamala

Re: the "I'm just joking" crowd of far-right vtubers and why downplaying any of them as just 'edgelord comedians' ignores the way far-right figures try to shift the bounds of acceptable discussion under veils of irony

For forty years we have heard “cut the fat” “run government like a business” “eliminate inefficiencies” “stopping the gravy train”. Yet here we are, still looking to cut “fatty bureaucracy”, our quality of life diminishing, taxes up, income inequality at unsustainable rates, climate change

The gang are playing mermaids, and Wyll is going all out, wearing swimming goggles as he enthusiastically cheers on Lae'zel and Shadowheart. The former looking disgruntled as she lifts Shart out of the water with the sheer power of love/hate. Gale floats idly on his back, with some ducklings. Probably thinking about Mystra.

Mayor Brandon Scott has reduced crime in Baltimore by 62%, and now has the lowest homicide rate in Baltimore history.

How did he do it?

NOT be spending more on police. He did it by MAJOR investment in afterschool and literacy programs.
