I wonder if most Canadian Blue Jays fans know how important it is for a *lot* of us Americans that their team win?

California folks: reminder to mail in or drop off your Prop 50 ballot today if you haven't already. This ballot is so short it literally takes a minute to vote and sign and seal the envelope. Your county has ballot drop-off locations or you can mail it, postage is already paid. #yeson50

We can do this now without even chasing anyone out

Simply pick up the store phone and announce "Attention, shoppers. MrBeast just bought this Kroger and everything is free" and the managers and security will be tossing hams in their Land Rovers before you even hang up

The East Wing Desecrators

Given the extraordinary and unprecedented destruction of the entire East Wing, built in 1942 for the Office of the First Lady, it’s important to note who enabled this.

In this thread, I run through the companies and organizations involved and provide contact info.

If you haven't checked them out on Tubi it's great. I consider myself a Bugs Bunny aficionado, and while I've seen all of his cartoons, I haven't seen all of the Looney Tunes shorts. Tubi packages them into three-short episodes so you see a nice mix!

I would dearly love for the Bluejays to win the World Series if for no other reason than so PM Carney can fete the winning team and Trump can't

The five California Republicans who could lose their seats in Congress if Prop 50 passes From Palm Springs to Modoc County, these Republicans are likely to see their districts carved up

If any Californians out there need motivation to send in your ballot, this should be it. Issa? Calvert? Valadao? Could be pushed out.

A meme that says Shame on Yoshinoya! After one of our leader members sounded the alarm at her store for unsanitary conditions including roaches, a broken fridge, and failing to provide proper sanitation and protective equipment, instead of simply fixing the problem and ensuring their food is safe to serve to customers, the company fired her.

A picture of Rosa that says "This week we marched on Yoshinoya and made it clear: an attack on one is an attack on all. We've been organizing in fast food in Los Angeles for over decade, and we'll do whatever it takes to ensure justice for Rosa. "

A slide that says "This is what we’re up against. While the industry claims workers like us don't need Know Your Rights training, it's clear by actions like Yoshinoya’s workers need to know about their right to organize and how their employers' unsafe working conditions can be fixed. This is why we’re calling on Los Angeles lawmakers to pass the Fast Food Fair Work ordinance."

This week we marched on the boss at Yoshinoya.

Their actions are unacceptable, illegal and will not be tolerated.
This is why we're fighting for independent Know Your Rights trainings as part of the job.

We've even started to close this off too-- door-to-door trick-or-treating, where random kids belonging to god knows who just show up on your doorstep, is being replaced by "trunk or treat" parties in, like, church parking lots where it's one specific in-group taking care of their own

Folks, that β€œMost Trekkies are Republicans” bullshit (which I’m not linking or screenshotting)? It’s from Giant Freaking Robotβ€”a trash clickbait site. You’re being farmed.

KOSA will keep no one safe while dramatically expanding the government’s censorship and surveillance of LGBTQ+ people and anything related to sexual and reproductive health. It will also decimate networks like this one, by handing Big Tech all of our data while destroying small competitors.

U.S. Hunger Relief Organization | Feeding America Feeding America is a nonprofit network of 200 food banks leading the fight against hunger in the United States. Learn how you can help end hunger in America.

For a few years, during the month of October, @drasticcats.bsky.social would write songs about people when they donated more than $50 to Feeding America, then we'd put out an album with those songs.

Maybe this year, you can just donate without waiting for a song
