Black folks are not going to vote for your candidate if we perceive even a hint of antiblackness. Period.

Listen, I offer this unsolicited advice gently, an olive branch across the divide, because frankly, I don't want to hear it if these Black elders pick Newsom and we lose *again*, dammit.

If you want to stop Newsom, build up his negatives with Black voters *now.* Emphasize how he keeps hanging out with racists and inviting them to talk on his show. Ask how Black people have fared in his California and how he’s responded to racism against us. What was he doing in 2014? 2016? 2020?

Gavin Newsom vetoed a 2023 bill that would have stopped the unscrupulous practice of county governments using foster children's benefit checks (e.g. social security survivor benefits) to reimburse themselves.

The bill was sponsored by @ib2real.bsky.social, himself a former foster child.

Ok this is actually amazing - thanks to the artiste for fulfilling my request

Do like world governments understand that if all countries opened their borders to all citizens of this planet, which we all clearly are without the need for identification, cuz we're alive human people here on Earth, that we'd naturally figure out an even distribution of where we wanna live?

Idk I just think it sucks that this one blessed miracle of a human life means you're basically held at gunpoint in one little place your whole life on this big beautiful blessed miracle of a planet cuz that's the place where you were born, or not, depending on the government of where u are now

But England cannot possibly be serious to think if only they opened their borders that they'd get a crush of new people cuz it sucks to live in England and immigrating there is a sign that people are VERY distressed lmao & if EVERYONE opened their borders well idk probably the king would stay there

Imagine all the cool, fast trains we could have with the billions we spend on bombs.

I am heavily invested in Sandwich now.

this site is delightful and also such a perfect example of how funny we are in a way chatgpt wishes it could

THE TWO GUYS ON THE MOON QUESTION FINALLY ANSWERED.

I am once again asking for transit apps and Google maps to give bus/train riders the same level of trip planning that you give to drivers. Why can’t I put in multiple stops on a single trip the way I can with driving directions? Why?!?

My best friend’s sister, who CBP has been telling us different stories all day about, her phone just got turned back on. She is a US citizen born in Evanston. They said she was never detained at O’Hare after telling us she was, they said she was not transferred to Broadview, and now she's in a detention facility in WI.

Again @jkbjournalist.bsky.social jersey should be in the RAFTERS of whatever journalism is

And she gets one free shot on the person of her choosing who most hobbled these stories

I had never heard of this book and for the first time ever I understand book burning.

There is a legal provision in immigration law that someone married to a US citizen can stay in the US while there visa is pending. Immigration officials have long recognized it to allow residency during the wait time. The DHS has just stopped following this part of the law.

38% of polled shipwreck survivors think deflating corner of life raft will make it rocket through water like a jet ski

Maybe people will wake up to the fact that the AI push has been about paying workers even less and taking away job security.

Less "prompt engineering" and more labor organizing.

I planned to share my report on the body cam footage early next week when I learned that a DC news station had obtained some of the footage as a result of my lawsuit and they were going to scoop me. After working on this for a year, I couldn't let that happen. Published 2 mins before they aired :)

The people who think punk shouldn't be political and the people who think scifi shouldn't be political should all get an island together and never talk to the rest of us ever again

It's valid to tell people "I have plans" if your plans are to sit on your couch. That's a type of plans

*making pillows and zipper pouches

also will never not be funny that people think the band who wrote American Idiot about the fucking Iraq War is "not political."

Erin is out here saving all of us who cannot stand a lone notification dot.

I am absolutely dying at all the people who have been going bananas over that fucking dot and I love you all and I feel seen and this community of brain weirdos is exactly why I log on to Bluesky every day.
