Today is Indigenous Peoples Day – a time to honor the 11 sovereign Tribal Nations and robust urban Native communities that continue to enrich our state’s cultural landscape, economy, and heritage.
 
It was a beautiful morning to celebrate on the shore of Bde Maka Ska.

Reading Cory Doctorow’s book Enshitification which makes the same point and offers some other remedies.

While calls to quit bad businesses like Spotify, Meta, X etc have obvious merit, you do have to remember that these are things people use to connect with others. You are essentially asking those maybe already isolated to risk making their lives that bit lonelier on a point of principle.

Meme from spongebob where patrick has a To-do list. Text on the meme reads, "Tell everyone abortion pills are still available by mail in all 50 states as of today."

The earth turns & the leaves change but our politicians don't. Efforts at the state & federal level are determined to restrict access to abortion by mail, but remember that YouAlwaysHaveOptions.com

Bulldog: I feel bad for the military personnel being given illegal orders. Sure, you're duty-bound to ignore them, but you know the people judging you are going to be, for some time, law-breaking traitors. Bulldog: It's not as if these low-ranking grunts are lawyers anyhow.

Bulldog: They should simply follow the Uniform Code of Military Justice. Bulldog: Have you ever tried to read the UCMJ? It's really long!

Bulldog: If only some Democrat would stand up and promise to hold military commanders giving illegal orders accountable. Bulldog: I'd vote for them!

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption.

Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow.

People have power. Ask Target

Trump and Vance “admitting” the criminal investigation of Bolton is coming from the White House isn’t a mistake. They want critics to understand if they cross Trump, they can be subject to criminal investigation. They want people to know that law enforcement has been politicized.

Thank you to the woman protecting DC residents from the Big Balls Gestapo.

"Thou shall not kill" also means 'thou shalt not let profit margins decide who lives and who dies.'

the era of small government is over and we can either have armed thugs with badges disappearing people or universal health care and high speed rail

Thanks for the great recommendation. Listening now while doing housework.

Robert Caro "The Path to Power" volume one of "The Years of Lyndon Johnson"

I've mentioned before how good a writer Caro is. He's so good that Chapter 14: The New Deal should be required reading.

Most of it is, in fact, about the run up to the New Deal.

In response, many people have started using coded language (referring to protests as “music festivals,” “community picnics,” or even “art walks”) to avoid censorship. Remember to get creative with your wording.

I got a copy from a little free library some weeks ago. This morning my friend saw it on my bookshelf and said she got a copy from her parents bookshelf and is currently enjoying reading it. This post confirming I better start reading it now.

Been there. Lovely place.

Every single museum in America needs to print out "Actually, slavery WAS that bad" and post it on their front door today.

Donald Trump’s new WH portrait is literally him walking away while America burns.

In Middleton, NY.

This guy probably saved his neighbors from Trump's masked thugs.

This is how you firmly assert your rights and stand up for our communities.

100 Women's Rights Organisations, including
@rapecrisis.bsky.social, @refugecharity.bsky.social, & @evawuk.bsky.social have signed a letter warning that attempts to link rape & violence against women & girls to immigration is a racist distraction.

They urge the govt to address dangerous narrative

Banned Toni Morrison’s Pulitzer Prize winner novel “Beloved” tells the true story of Margaret Garner who chose to kill her daughter rather than let slave owners drag her back to slavery. It was an act of love. If you can’t understand that you can’t speak about the horrors of slavery.

Palantir is making enormous profits off of genocide, surveillance, and deportation. Their warmongering, chauvinistic executives are building a fascistic surveillance state that uses AI weapons to wipe out masses of people. The people of Denver are going to kick the war profiteers out of their city.
