A while back I asked folks why they’re joining Bluesky and the most common response I saw was, “I just want a good place to get my news” and, yall, no. Bad.

It will save you time and mental energy if you understand that a lot of white people don’t believe anything is racism unless the person doing it is wearing a shirt that says, “I am doing this for a racism.” Plausible deniability is a social survival tool for them in a way it has never been for us.

I wish all artists the ability to look over at least one of their works and sigh with a content 'I made that :)'

The "he's not gonna listen to her" reactions are missing many points. Lots of other people are also hearing it. Lots of people can see him hearing it, then weigh what she's said with what he'll do. Lots of people can see her refusal to surrender these ancient teachings to the latest face of empire

A color cartoon from Puck Magazine in 1889 showing a row of huge "fat cat" bankers looming over the Senate. It's titled "Bosses of the Senate."

A photo of the billionaires at Trump's inauguration.

Been thinking about this cartoon.
For no reason.
Really.
It's from 1889 -- during the Gilded Age.

As Trump Takes Office Again, Earthjustice Is Ceding No Ground One election will not deter us or erase the environmental progress we've achieved.

Earthjustice is ready for this moment. Over the last four years, we have built our capacity to navigate the new legal landscape. Many of the incoming administration's plans are rehashes of old fights – fights that we have won before.

unfortunately for the administration you cannot assert that a new and novel interpretation of the constitution is law with an executive order AND other constitutional officers have a say here too.

TikTok caters to content, it serves users content they think would be interesting but don’t go seeking. Meta connects people/creators, Google helps you find similar things to what you’re looking for. Content driven is key.

TikTok is back for now. Good for my Sunday meal prep/recipe inspo, but still bleak for social media catering to the political benefits of big tech and billionaires.
