Such wonderful news! 🙏🏻

Happy May 1st. The value of your labor belongs to you and the actions of the state are best understood as as a coordinated effort to distract you from this. The state fears an organized and unified proletariat like it fears death and rightly so. Power to the workers and power to the people

I’m so sorry this happened to you both. It’s unconscionable that besides the great evil taking place right now, basic human kindness has gone out the door.

What a devastating development. 😿 While I understand the point of not needing so much real estate there, it still seems like the shrinking of services is not what I would expect, especially in Manhattan.

Watching the videos linked in Annie's article, I was moved to tears. Having recently graduated from college when "Reckoning" came out, it was a time of great worry but fierce resistance, yet almost innocent compared to today.

Thanks @anniezaleski.bsky.social, @bertisdowns.bsky.social for the links.

A few days ago, I had my iTunes library on shuffle and Veruca Salt's "Seether" came on and I remembered this article of yours. Although as a song it's more straightforward pop-rock, I've always thought of it as kind of little sister to "Cannonball" that was born the following year. #treasures

On Pop, U2 embraced the sounds and pulses of the club | Treble With 1997's Pop, U2 embraced electronic elements and dance club culture, humbling themselves to contemporary sounds instead of defying them.

There are moments on 'POP' where they reach a perfect synthetic fusion, a gleaming alloy cold static high heaven U2 glowing and pulsing on the dance floor.

Hey, happy birthday Ned! Thanks for all that you do.

The SAVE Act Could Stop Millions of Women From Voting. Here’s What You Need to Know The bill would make it harder for women, people of color, young voters, and other marginalized groups to register to vote.

If you got married and changed your name, you may not be able to register to vote if the SAVE Act passes. This law will impact millions of married women, as well as trans folks. This is not a joke, call your Congresspeople.

I love your consistency with the Prince inspired clothing. HBD to your kid!

I keep calling and emailing our representative and both NY Senators each day but getting through has been difficult to say the least. And Schumer's DC phone recording sounds like it's underwater - it cuts out in the same way every time I call to leave a message.

The Congressional staff member was clear that online contact gets ignored, and letters get thrown in the trash (unless you have a particularly strong emotional story). Calls are what all the congresspeople pay attention to.

fight. take action.

if I understand American politics correctly, progressivism is something that requires 60 senate votes to work, while national conservatism doesn’t require any votes at all
