Kate (she/her) says Fix Your Hearts Or Die S. Pumpkins

A bunch of newly activated people in Chicago need to read this. A troubling number of people believe the police "are on our side" because they have largely followed the law and orders they've been given about not helping ICE. The police will never be "on our side." Sometimes, they're just reined in.

Agreed on all counts. I’m glad he’s speaking out. I hope liberals don’t get too attached and feel like their work is done because he exists, but I also don’t have a lot of hope for that given our prior record.

Newsom, styling himself as a transgender rights ally, vetoes health bill advocates supported Gov. Gavin Newsom vetoed a bill that would have expanded access to hormone therapy, a top priority for the trans community.

@georgetakei.bsky.social please please find a better politician to follow and boost; we have 3 years until the next election and Newsom is not it unless he does a huge pivot and starts supporting liberal causes. This is a guy who has personally broken up homeless encampments and has thrown trans 1/

will there be any followup to this fascinating story by the president of the united states that a friend of his sent him a check for $130 million dollars and the president is going to give the money to the military because i for one am fascinated about the details tbh

I wrote about what the fact that Trump is building his own palace means for free and fair elections and democracy. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

You know what would be fucking super? If we actually did have a real progressive candidate - maybe even, wild fucking idea, MORE THAN ONE - so we didn’t have to listen to insufferable assholes trying to justify supporting the dude with the huge nazi tattoo.

Some of you, I swear to everything holy.

Well you’re not wrong but it’d be taxpayer money to tear it down and repair the White House

I was thinking about this too, but then I thought about the waste of taxpayer money. So I’d find a way to sell off whatever was most valuable, maybe turn it into a greenhouse to grow actual edible crops, and rename it after Jimmy Carter

Have you listened to “Sold A Story”? I just started it a couple days ago and I’m enthralled so far. I’m a former educator but at the high school level, so this is all news to me

This is exactly what I’ve been thinking all day.

The fact that he's DARVOing us on his literal Nazi tattoo is disqualifying.

Get out of here with that abusive bullshit.

If being against a guy with a Nazi tattoo makes me a purist I guess I'm an anti-Nazi purist. If you think that makes me an anti-Nazi single issue voter, you're wrong, but also it's a pretty good single issue.

There is more than a year. Go get another real progressive who doesn't have a Nazi tattoo.

Four Cities, One Dream: WPBL’s First Four Teams Announced The Women’s Pro Baseball League (WPBL) has officially named its first four cities—Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York and Boston

This is not a legally difficult question. You can't tear down part of a building just because you reside in it if you don't own the building.

Even if you pay to tear it down you can't do that.

The average age of U.S. homebuyers is now 56, up from 49 last year.

In 1981, the year trickledown economics began, it was 31.

AWS crash causes $2,000 Smart Beds to overheat and get stuck upright - Dexerto The AWS outage caused chaos for owners of Eight Sleep’s Pod3 mattresses as they had no offline mode and were stuck at high temperatures.

I'm so sick of discourse from supposed allies about where trans people went wrong.

Where we "went wrong" is that billionaires spent unimaginably large sums to attack us repeatedly and major media outlets have spent a decade piling on.

(spoiler alert: it’s racism)

Can a Latino kid get MS-13 tattooed on him as a joke or a brag (fact: most young cholos are stoned 200% of the time) and then think he can keep and flash it 20 years later and people will just be like “oh, just a silly kid thing” and ruffle his hair? Of course not! So why do it for Platner?

🚨BREAKING: The State of Arizona filed a lawsuit accusing House Speaker Mike Johnson of violating the Constitution by refusing to swear in Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva. The plaintiffs argue that Johnson’s delay has deprived hundreds of thousands of Arizonans of representation.

the thing is that even if - through some absolutely absurd, farcical set of circumstances I can’t even conceive - an innocent person did accidentally end up with a tattoo they only learned later was a Nazi symbol, the only appropriate response is “holy shit get me to the laser removal clinic TODAY”

Ahh yes. The impossible standard of “don’t be a nazi.”

"But when the team looked at the employees’ actual work output, they found that the developers had completed tasks 20% slower when using AI than when working without it. Researchers were stunned. “No one expected that outcome. We didn’t even really consider a slowdown as a possibility.”

In social movement studies, we talk about how marches and protests expand the threshold of acceptable risk so that people take more and bigger social risks IN PUBLIC, EN MASSE. This is extremely important for the bourgeois white folks holding signs and building social rapport.
