Don't be fooled by this bill's name-- this is a book banning bill that will exclude LGBTQ books from all public schools NATIONWIDE.

Call your congresspeople and tell them to VOTE NO on this nakedly bigoted book banning bullshit.

Actually, the left is winning the AI debate But it does need to get organized.

The left is not "missing out" on AI. It's winning the argument. Americans worry about AI and dislike tech CEOs. They're mobilizing against data centers. They support regulation, even refusal.

Calls for the left to embrace AI are an effort to change the terms of the debate in Silicon Valley's favor.

How Brothel Workers in Nevada Just Made Labor History The courtesans at Sheri’s Ranch were staring down a horrifying new contract. So they did what workers everywhere do: They got organized.

When faced with a shockingly exploitative new employment contract that would’ve forced them to sign away their IP, their likeness rights, and their power of attorney, Jupiter Jetson and her coworkers at Sheri’s fought backβ€”fast.

They organized a union in SIX DAYS. www.thenation.com/article/econ...

ICE is struggling to keep pace with vetting new hires during its historic recruitment push, so it's hiring officers before completing standard checks.

The agency fired five people after belatedly finding that they had outstanding warrants for their arrest.

How to Support Trans People in All 50 States A curated list of 100 organizations supporting trans rights and livelihood to which you can donate.

(some info may be outdated, but use this as a jumping-off point!)

Getting non-voters to vote rather than trying to court voters who've never been inclined to vote for your party is the way.

A Milwaukee city council member has called for an investigation into the immigration policies at the #Uline company, owned by two of the biggest donors to MAGA Republicans in the 2024 election.

They fly Mexicans in for their company, exploit them and pay them Mexican salaries.

Interesting fact about Sand Cats: they’re so well adapted to desert life that they can go weeks without drinking water. Most of their hydration actually comes from the blood of their prey.

Is there a word that means "cute nightmare"? LOL

historical detail I can't help but bring up: by some accounts, the event that instigated the British soldiers to open fire on Crispus Attacks and the rest of the crowd in the Boston Massacre was a soldier being hit by a snowball
