Thousands of undocumented immigrant workers helped rebuild New York City in the wake of 9/11.

24 years later, they're at risk of deportation as they still struggle with chronic health issues.

A pathway to citizenship is the least these workers deserve. documentedny.com/2025/09/11/u...

Here's a lovely photo of a plethora of my fabric art creatures. There's a green fur floor and a galaxy print fabric background in the pic. Here are some of the creatures: a watermelon ghost with a green body and pink face and twinkly black eyes and a little frown. There's a black crablike creature with wide set blue eyes and purple eyeshadow. She has red lips, four tentacle-like arms and an embroidered rainbow flower on her forehead. There's a black ghost bag covered with red embroidered flowers. There's a watermelon ghost bag. There are two yellow creatures. Each has three eyes, two tentacles, and mouths full of sharp teeth. There's a cosmic moth sitting on a little chair. The moth is black with a gray face, twinkly red eyes, and a wide grin full of sharp teeth. The moth is covered with hand-embroidered stars and planets of various sizes and colors.

Hey Bluesky, could you help me spread the word about my Big Cartel shop? A sale or two would be a colossal help.

All of my creations are designed, sewn, and hand-embroidered by me. Each takes many hours to make.

YouTube video by Robert Reich The Truth About Trump’s Tariffs

Inflation rose in June as Trump's tariffs contributed to price increases.

As I've been saying, tariffs aren't paid by other countries.

They're eventually paid by us at the checkout line. youtu.be/AfVGUiet39E?...

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.

Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they? Hello?

Just a reminder that Republicans in Congress could put a stop to this at any time.

This is a crucial lifeline for many teens. When we said they were coming for is, you should have listened....

I truly think that many Americans have no idea what gaslighting truly is....

The Supreme Court has unanimously ruled the Trump regime must facilitate the return of a Maryland man wrongly deported to El Salvador.

How lawless do your actions have to be for even Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito to rule against them?

" On April 5th, a 54% tariff goes into effect on a wide range of goods imported from China. For those of us who create boardgames, this is not just a policy change. It's a seismic shift. At Steve Jackson Games, we are actively assessing what this means for our products, our pricing, and our future plans. We do know that we can't absorb this kind of cost increase without raising prices. We've done our best over the past few years to shield players and retailers from the full brunt of rising freight costs and other increases, but this new tax changes the equation entirely. Here are the numbers: A product we might have manufactured in China for $3.00 last year could now cost $4.62 before we even ship it across the ocean. Add freight, warehousing, fulfillment, and distribution margins, and that once-$25 game quickly becomes a $40 product. That's not a luxury upcharge; it's survival math. Some people ask, "Why not manufacture in the U.S.?" I wish we could. But the infrastructure to support full-scale boardgame production – specialty dice making, die-cutting, custom plastic and wood components – doesn't meaningfully exist here yet. I've gotten quotes. I've talked to factories. Even when the willingness is there, the equipment, labor, and timelines simply aren't."

Steve Jackson Games posted this to their blog and the post is getting so many hits their site is effectively crashed but the point is worth repeating

Happy Belated!!!

They’re not going to get out of this by playing semantics.

Sending detailed information about an upcoming military strike on unclassified channels (and even to the wrong guy) is wrong, reckless, and obviously a threat to American troops.

Samantha fox slagging off the fall and the smiths in a music magazine single reviews column from the 1980s. She says the fall ripped off a bit of Duane eddy and the smiths are a miserable old bag of shite

This got shared on some FB music page so loads of awful men are making misogynistic jokes but she's extremely, hilariously correct

can't believe it's 2025 and i'm stressed about tariffs and measles, like am i a character in an american girl book

As Trump tries to dismantle the Department of Education, remember that his plan to cut the corporate tax rate to 15% would give the 100 largest corporations a tax cut larger than the entire department's K-12 budget.

Really think about how twisted this all is.

I wonder where that came from... 🤣

Yah. They were in the open air bucket freezer thing near the meat section. There were only like 3 bags, so they must go quickly.

Love that I was able to snag a bag of these, but hate that I had to go to the most dreaded store for them...
