This statement about the transphobic Supreme Court ruling by the UK's Crab Museum (yes a museum about crabs) is better than 99% of the statements I've seen on the topic

Drivers Coop Colorado β€’ RMEOC Drivers are uniting to build a community-owned rideshare platform in Colorado. By owning the platform, we can earn more, take control of our lives, and keep wealth in our community.

Anyone going to #AERA2025 or #ASHE2025 - please consider supporting this community-owned ride share in Colorado centered on providing living wages for drivers and affordability for consumers.

Facing a Loss of $400 Million, Columbia U. Concedes to Trump’s Demands The university will overhaul student disciplinary procedures, increase on-campus policing powers, and place a department under administrative supervision.

Columbia University's endowment reached almost $15 billion dollars last year.

There's a word for when you have massive money and resources to fight for what is right and instead capitulate to what you know is wrong.

Cowardice.

Impressive turnout in Memphis tonight for @repcohen.bsky.social town hall. Too bad @marshablackburn.bsky.social and @billhagerty.bsky.social don’t care about their constituents on this side of the state (or at all) enough to do the same!

Thanks for your labor here. It really stood out to me how hard it is to oppose neoliberalism even in environments where there is espoused interest and commitment to doing so.
