We've not spent enough time talking about this administration as unamerican, rather than cruel or wrong or illegal. This stuff just is not who we are.

No contract, no coffee.

We don’t believe in sitting on the sidelines. Join our Transition co-chair @linamkhan.bsky.social , First Deputy Mayor Dean Fuleihan & @sbworkersunited.org at the picket lines.

I'm thankful for my ICE whistle.

Combatting poverty and hunger in this city will take every single one of us. Myself included.

Upsetting that I have work tomorrow

Shut your fucking ass up

A bit too on the nose for thanksgiving

Mulligan, a gray cat, showing no remorse over the human water pitcher.

Mulligan has been drinking out of the people water all afternoon and we just found out

pluribus is fucking crazy man

In the richest city in the richest country on the planet, the thing we can’t afford is to forget those who are left hungry.

the cool thing about football is that the score goes

lmao they changed the fucking dance so people don't call it a swastika

THEY RE-ENABLED THE PEACEMAKER EMOTE

I’m thankful for my community, my colleagues, my team, and everyone in IL-03.

This is a man who presided over a govt currently kidnapping innocent immigrant + refugee children & families, putting them in horrific prisons, and then deporting them to dangerous places.

Sometimes the hypocrisy is too much to bear.

We're gonna need a truth and reconciliation commission and Nuremberg style trials to reckon with all of this evil, and any Dem candidate for office who shies away from a full reckoning in the name of "moving forward as a nation" can get well and truly fucked

This Monterey Mushroom facility has a strong union contract. The good union wages and benefits make for low overturn, which makes for extremely skilled workers like this.

Workers here are cutting the tough pumpkin vines. Other workers will then collect and sort the pumpkins by size.

Pumpkin (like okra and cucumber) has tiny hairs on the vines that can be irritating to the skin, eyes and respiratory system.

As you’re preparing for your Thanksgiving meal, remember the skilled work it took to get that food to your grocery store.

Tell us your favorite Thanksgiving dish, and we can share some of what we know about the work behind the ingredients.

A digital approximation of a child’s crayon drawing. Am outline traced around a hand has been transformed into a turkey in profile, filled in roughly with brown, and with the fingers becoming green, red, orange, and yellow feathers and a bird’s eye, beak and wattle added to make the thumb into a head facing to the right. A pilgrim hat with buckle has been put on the turkey’s head and its stick feet are standing on green crayon grass. To the left, either in the distance or much smaller is a stick figure pilgrim with similarly buckled hat holding a hatchet. The turkey has a very roughly drawn speech bubble containing the words ‘Maybe it will happen today’.

A graphic from The Wall Street journal showing the location of the shooting at Farragut square relative to the White House. The outline of the White House shows the central structure and West Wing, but not the now destroyed East Wing

not the point, but I did a doubletake on this graphic - "That blob is labeled 'White House' but they left off part of ... oh right"

"a single person of this demographic may have committed a crime, therefore we must punish the entire demographic" is a policy response you may recognize from fascist governments dedicated to ethnic cleansing elsewhere.

If you want to see how quickly everyone goes into manufacturing consent mode, compare the full-court press tonight to the response to any of the people ICE has shot in the last few months, some of whom died.

midnights!

buttons :)

My cardigan arrived :)

Antitrust law is legally distinct from first amendment speech. Hope that helps. In a just world they'd get rule 11 sanctions.

My mom is coming into town this weekend but I have no plans tomorrow and I am sort of dreading the weekend itself. This entire year has just been an unending war on all fronts. I'm trying to take care of myself but it's really fucking hard.
