Sign the Petition Demand the Release of Rodney Taylor from ICE Detention

ICE has been holding a disabled Black man for a year!

Rodney Taylor is a double amputee who was days away from receiving new prosthetic legs when ICE took him.

He’s been denied his prosthetics & placed in solitary.

His health is declining.

Public outrage might save his life.

Say his name:

Hey, pals, this study is headed by Lisa Littman, noted transphobe and pseudoscientist. She's on the advisory board for the genocidal anti-trans group GENSPECT.

Do not, under any circumstance, participate in this junk study.

If you are a W-2 employee you can do this already by filing a Form W-4 to make your withholding 0.

This is just for income tax, they'll still deduct and remit your FICA to Social Security and Medicare.

(That part we probably won't reasonably see action on even in the case of widespread non-wh/h)

I’m going to be shutting my shop down for the day and providing links to places where you can put your money instead.

Do what you can, keep pushing

An insidious form of doomerism is insisting that, when the people we expect to fold like they always do actually find their spine, they somehow didn't and the bad guys won without a fight again.

People just going out here saying the literal opposite of what happened. Thune caved! Thune did! This is a cave by Thune and Senate Republicans, any possible way you cut it.

For all the people we lost, we owe it to those still with us to act and speak out. Rodney Taylor deserves his freedom.

DO THIS!

Kaylyn's seriously a fantastic caption editor, and two* of the biggest videos on our channel are fortunate enough to have her outstanding work associated with them!

Screenshot of text that says: Hello, wanting to provide context to why I need continuous help with survival funds. I'm a single mom who also caretakes for my disabled child. He is high needs meaning he needs help with everything through out the day. I'm disabled myself. I have long covid which mostly entails POTs, ME/CFS and uterine fibroids. When I was last working I ended up in the ER from overworking my body and decided it was best for me to stay home especially since my disabled child was already struggling so much with the caretaker he had at the time. I also have a trans child so we live in California where it's safest for her and my family in general as two of us are disabled. I'm working towards getting on disability at the moment as well as exploring options to be paid to be my son's caregiver as his behavior gets worse when I'm not the one caring for him. Nothing goes unappreciated and I truly try to thank anyone who helps to the best of my ability. I suffer chronic fatigue so my spoons are limited. Thank you if you read this

I notice you don't make any predictions about how the site itself will change. So I will make one: you gotta fix the moderation or this site will die a slow and lingering death. Jesus *Christ*, my dudes, your moderation sucks.

The 20 Elections to Watch This February - Bolts Democrats hold the narrowest of majorities in Maine and Pennsylvania’s state Houses. They now need to defend vacant seats to retain their edge in each through the end of the... Read More

NEW: Special elections in the razor-thin Democratic majority-Houses in Maine and Pennsylvania. Billions of dollars in funding for school. A congressional primary.

There are plenty of important elections right around corner, in FEBRUARY.

So i put together my monthly guide of elections to watch:

Okay, I need you to understand that I get the joke, but it's not funny. We already see enough "real" gAI garbage every goddamn day. We don't need people who think they're being funny making "fake" AI garbage, especially when the "fake" AI garbage still uses all the same electricity and water.

It is becoming impossible to distinguish between sarcastic criticisms of terrible A.I. and genuine praise of terrible A.I. so please, for the love of God:

STOP USING GENERATIVE A.I. TO CREATE AWFUL THINGS JUST TO POINT AT THEM AND LAUGH AT HOW AWFUL THEY ARE.

Bad winter storms coming around again this weekend. Remember:

-leave your taps dripping
-fill prescriptions in advance
-agonize over a social embarrassment from 10 years ago
-plug space heaters directly into the wall

TEXAS!! They are dropping people from the voter rolls.

As far as I know, Tom Suozzi here still does not have a primary challenger in his district (NY-3 on Long Island).

The filing deadline is April 6 for the primary on June 23, and if there's a remotely progressive town council member or PTA president in that district, this is the time to make a move.

Definite uptick in Bluesky content aggregators taking legit clips regarding Minnesota from a few days or weeks ago and posting them without any sort of timestamp context, which gives the impression of them happening today, which then gets clicks. Be vigilant with what and how you share.

After a long eighteen months Drake finally has someone in hip-hop he can look down on.

If you're on Windows 11 24H2 or 25H2 and your system is randomly rebooting or (even worse) you're getting a black screen then reboot when trying to start Windows, here's a solution that worked for me:

1) Start the machine, then hold the power button to turn it off during the boot. Do this twice.

Like most characters on Sopranos, he's a complex figure who's ultimately, deep down, a villain. The show is about career mafiosos, after all.

But the man fucking loves his wife. I'm pretty sure he's the only married guy on the show who doesn't cheat at all.

I was able to raise enough money to keep my home, but now I need to save my car. I can get an extension for that until Friday; if anyone could spare $350, that would be phenomenal.

I’m baking cookies for donations over $25. I’m sorry.

If you’re not too strapped for $ right now, can people who follow me get $175 of this covered? Even small donations get it there. I will cover the other half.

Thank you on behalf of MN!
