You don't have to believe that the fascists are competent enough to suppress voting everywhere in 2026 or 2028. You just have to believe that they can depress minority turnout in 5-10 cities to affect entire Senate races & the Electoral College. 2024 was decided by 120K votes in 3 states, after all.

Breaking Barriers and Saying the Quiet Parts Out Loud | An Interview with Rose Stiffarm In this interview, Stiffarm speaks plainly about the barriers within the industry that often block people from having a career before they ever get a chance to begin. She also discusses what motivates...

Filmmakers talk about “the grind” of filmmaking as if it were a love language, but not Rose Stiffarm. While she believes in mastering the craft, she also believes in doing the work without sacrificing her well-being, love of the work, or the integrity of her people.

Bringing this up again because I'm seeing another round of people acting like the "labeled by bluesky" note on a flagged post always automatically means the OP didn't flag their own posts correctly. My self-applied adult content labels are FREQUENTLY overridden by the automod.

How a trans woman's removal from a restroom tore the world of competitive pinball apart Pinball is one of the most welcoming sports for trans players. But after a confrontation at an arcade last fall, pinball’s governing group is struggling to rebuild trust.

@rikiwilchins.bsky.social [Pinball con't]: ...and both tournament directors _and_ players across the US are now boycotting IFPA events as a show of support for their fellow trans players. [2/2]

Please do not co-opt John Lewis saying "get in #GoodTrouble". Do not talk over a Black man on this the first day of #BlackHistoryMonth. Find a way to protest ICE without taking his slogan and adding #PrettiGood

She Was the Jane Doe in R. Kelly's Infamous Tape. Now, 'I'm Here Today as Reshona' In her first-ever interview, Reshona Landfair, the girl in R. Kelly's infamous tape, discusses the singer's abuse and her long road to healing.

For the past 25 years, Reshona Landfair has lived with the painful aftermath of her name lingering in the public without her consent. She was the 14-year-old girl in the absolutely sickening R. Kelly videotape. Now, she’s reclaiming her name and her story. We should all bear witness.

Let’s be clear part of how MeToo and Times Up

Broke up

Was that despite EVERYTHING

a very select group of white women decided it was harder to deal with their own racism than stop pedophilia

And then another set of DEMOCRATS thought protecting Cuomo was more important than Justice

Lyrics, reading, "My eyes have seen the glory of the city that won’t fall, Seen it shelter in its bosom hunted children, big and small; I have seen the hunters pushed back and spat on in front of all, The city's standing strong. Glory, glory, hallelujah, Glory, glory, hallelujah, Glory, glory, hallelujah, The city's standing strong. George, roused from gentle slumber by his vine and his fig tree, Saw fresh tyrants threaten terror, ached to call out for a steed, Then he saw that Minneapolis held firm in thought and deed, And proudly he smiled on. Glory, glory, hallelujah, Glory, glory, hallelujah, Glory, glory, hallelujah, So proudly he smiled on. As Abe stood deep in grieving by the million Union men, Voiceless now to move the living to beat evil back again, The songs of Minnesota soothed his soul with their refrain— Friend Abe, they carry on. Glory, glory, hallelujah, Glory, glory, hallelujah, Glory, glory, hallelujah, Yes, Abe, they carry on."

Song lyrics, reading, "At the Hall of Heroes’ entrance Martin stood twice in two weeks There to welcome the new martyrs with tears running down his cheeks, And he told them “Lay your burdens at your brethren’s tireless feet, For, look, they carry on.” Glory, glory, hallelujah, Glory, glory, hallelujah, Glory, glory, hallelujah, Yes, still they carry on. In the whirlwind stand two women who well know their time is here: One is blind, the other bloodied, yet they know no pain nor fear; One holds sword and one holds flame—their blazing promise perseveres: For all they shall stand strong. Glory, glory, hallelujah, Glory, glory, hallelujah, Glory, glory, hallelujah, By them we shall stand strong."

A reader (who wished to remain anonymous for reasons of naturalization status) passed along to me their version of a Battle Hymn of Minneapolis, which I now share with you.

'Tis, as they say, a banger.
