He really is Patrick Bateman. He spends a lot of time with his hair slicked back, coolly fighting the other side in a fashionable way, and then at night he runs out to furiously throw some homeless person’s last picture of their family into a garbage can.

Wow. @404media.co uncovered the names of additional dozens of people who were disappeared by the Trump administration on the March flights to El Salvador.

I keep having to tell people eugenics didn’t start with Trump.

It’s quite literally the foundation of America and needs to be discussed as such.

Every 10 years and you might want to confirm whether you got it during a pregnancy. That’s what the person who gave me my last booster said.

How Elon Musk forked up his mass resignation plan Incompetence and desperation are a bad combination.

New β€” I did a brief history of the β€˜Fork in the Road’ email to show how Musk screwed up by treating federal workers like fucking idiots, and how the pressure to resign is about breaking morale more than culling the workforce.

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942.

I know. I was there in those camps.

For folks who don’t have access to training around this, starting an affinity group to read and work through a text with other receptive white people willing to share candidly can give you that space.

I’m relieved to hear this happened for someone on the internet. I’m an antiracist coach and training facilitator and this kind of practice is critical. It takes practice. A lot of white people arrive believing it’s almost a binary of not racist or Hitler.

I do think (hope) having multiple tenants unions in affected areas creates an opportunity for very visible collective action.

Excellent questions! In order: idk and it’s a state law that can be reported to AG and covers more than housing.

Incredible folks at @maskblocla.bsky.social distributed more than 10,000 masks in under 48 hours, and they’re still going. Any amount helps support that work, and if you have $100 to spare, Alice will send you a terrific gift.

Unfortunately that won’t motivate some states, whose leaders are happy to let their people suffer. Notably I’m surprised to learn Texas fell off this list it used to be a big talking point there.

Joe Biden is Leonard Peltier’s last hope | Rose Styron and Alex Matthiessen The imprisoned Native American is long overdue for clemency. Joe Biden is probably the last president who can give it to him

It would be a tragedy if President Biden dIdn’t pardon Leonard Peltier, who deserves clemency if anyone does and who is emblematic of our nation’s grotesque mistreatment of Native Americans.

Consumer Complaint Against A Business/Company

If you’re good at internet sleuthing and want to put your skills to work to help wildfire victims you can check for LA county rentals that have suddenly doubled in price, publicly name and shame the agents doing this, and report them to the government because it’s illegal: oag.ca.gov/contact/cons...
