Sigh. Writers and copyeditors: “Spendthrift” is a sneaky word. It does not mean thrifty or miserly or frugal. It means profligate and reckless with money. Thrift at one time meant savings, or wealth, so a spend-thrift is someone who spends their savings. Make a note of it.

#OtD 7 Jun 1968 women workers at Ford's Dagenham plant in England walked out on strike for equal pay with men. The strike led to the Equal Pay Act of 1970, although pay equality at Ford was only achieved after a later strike in 1984 stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/1071...

We all know the nazi salute is terrible. The salute launched the Tesla Takedown protests. But since then Musk is responsible for mass murder. That needs to be stressed so that people know what they're facing and can form a meaningful opposition. It isn't mentioned because it's unpalatable.

The GOP broke the law to deport this man—then decided to indict him. Court order? Ignored. Due process? Tossed. Now they want credit for “law and order”? Chile, please. Y’all did the process completely backwards. This is Trump’s America: lawless, reckless, and cruel.

This looks like a simplified spectrometry? Can we use it to identify Scheele’s and Paris Greens in other old things? Because a simple way to test would be a godsend for conservation collections that include fabric/wallpaper/etc.

Wow. What a sign that criminal case against Abrego Garcia may be politically cooked up. "Schrader’s resignation was prompted by concerns that the case was being pursued for political reasons" Schrader spent 15 years in the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Nashville and was chief of the criminal division

Thank you @zerotothree.bsky.social for delivering a "message in a baby bottle" to stand up for our littlest kids. This former preschool teacher is throwing Trump's budget in the trash. I'm fighting for a budget that protects Head Start & builds on our investments to make child care more affordable.

People shouldn’t be reporting this as “he returns to face charges.” They should be saying “Trump admin concedes it can bring people back from CECOT and tries some new shit against Abrego Garcia after the old shit didn’t stick.”

One thing I’d say about ranked choice voting in NYC is that you don’t have to do complex calculations of viability. You should rank in order of who you want to be mayor and if you don’t want someone to be mayor, you shouldn’t rank them!

Targeting someone’s faith has no place in Congress. Rep. Miller’s comments were ignorant, offensive, & un-American. We should be promoting religious freedom, not attacking it.
