Re: the big No Kings protests this weekend, remember that the corporate media, politicians, etc are obviously champing at the bit to be able to force a “good protestors vs bad protestors” narrative to discredit the anti-ICE/anti-genocide movement. Do not let them. Embrace a diversity of tactics.

From "Let This Radicalize You" by Hayes+Kaba Food for thought on the issues with how violence vs peace/obedience/order is framed by the state and why we should not thoughtlessly let them define it for us. We need to be able to explain the issues with their definitions and provide our own.

Happy Pride, Metalheads!

When the Trump administration eviscerated the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health office in Morgantown, WV in April, they abruptly shut down life-or-death services for coal miners with black lung. One of those miners decided to fight back—and won. inthesetimes.com/article/west...

BREAKING: Jefferson Griffin has conceded the N.C. Supreme Court race to Allison Riggs, ending a six-month long legal battle over the election.

after this last few months I think I am now in critical support of all weird ultrarich people hobbies. take that horse dancing class. I love that yoga retreat for you. tighten up that golf swing. search the ocean floor for ancient shipwrecks. anything that keeps you in your business and out of ours

Sticker for 1932 Detroit #MayDay parade. Printed 5 years before the @uaw.org formed and in the aftermath of the Ford Hunger March massacre, it speaks to the violence autoworkers endured to unionize their industry. From the Joe Brown Papers at the @reutherlibrary.bsky.social.

The top 0.1% of Americans control $22 trillion in wealth. The bottom 50% of the country controls $3.8 trillion in wealth. Read that back. Is it any wonder why so many think the system is rigged?

Vaccination eliminated measles from the U.S. 25 years ago. But it can still spread in pockets where vaccination rates are low, like the west Texas county with a current outbreak. Here's how fast.

ANYWAY, did you know there's an extension you can put on Chrome that will connect with your local library system and when you go look at a book, say on AMZ, it will tell you if that book exists in the library system and if it's available? It's literally called Library Extension.

What the actual fuck?! America, it’s time to rise. When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty!

I guess a quarter trillion isn't enough for that level of emotional poverty, so he's grifting from you, me, and the children abandoned by USAID.

Banning noncompetes. Changing OT pay rules to include more workers. Capping credit card fees. Erasing student loan debt. All Biden Admin executive actions to help working people that were blocked by Trump-appointed judges. And Republicans didn't have a problem with any of it.

Senator Chuck Schumer of New York, the Senate Minority Leader, has launched a new online portal for individuals to report corruption, abuses of power, and threats to public safety, with the legal protections afforded to whistleblowers.

Thank you!! A federal judge in New York has granted a temporary restraining order in favor of the states suing over DOGE.

That's weird i would've thought the teenage staffer of a fake agency named after a shit coin would have an exemplary record

Letitia James of New York, along with 11 other state attorneys general, announced plans to sue over a cost-cutting initiative that gave young aides to Elon Musk extensive access to critical federal computer systems.

🧑‍⚖️ A judge has HALTED the “resignation” program for federal workers until they can determine if it’s legal. There is a hearing on Monday. We will update as we learn more.

🚨 BREAKING: The @aflcio.org, EPI, and four major unions have filed an injunction against DOGE and the Trump-appointed Acting Sec of Labor. They’re seeking a temporary restraining order to keep Musk’s minions out of the DOL’s data. More at @inthesetimesmag.bsky.social inthesetimes.com/article/elon...

If you’re in or around Washington D.C. tomorrow (February 5), come out to 200 Constitution Ave. NW at 3pm and tell Elon Musk to keep his grimy hands off the Department of Labor:

RFK Jr has been sent to the Senate floor for a vote. Fuck. 14-13 CASSIDY VOTED YES. SPINELESS TRAITOR

Fuck these fuckin fascists ☀️ youtu.be/Q-7-DDgUh_E?...

This is how we do it abc7.com/post/dozens-...

It’s official: Elon Musk’s staffers have now illegally obtained classified information from the USAID office. Here’s a recap of what’s happening:

Reminder: Tariffs aren't paid by other countries. They're eventually paid by us at the check out line. The tariffs Trump is unleashing tomorrow on Mexico, Canada, and China — our biggest trading partners — are estimated to cost households an extra $1,250 annually.

This summer, the city will introduce a new crisis call line and care navigation team to support people experiencing mental and behavioral health crises, substance use issues, and homelessness.

IDF IS SHOOTING CIVILIANS IN BROAD DAYLIGHT, AGAIN

Extremely unfun fact: math like this is one of the reasons the Nazis ended up deciding to build death camps. They decided it was cheaper and easier to murder people, rather than deal with the logistics of moving them somewhere else after they had been deported.

The price of eggs in the US is spiking, mostly due to #H5N1 bird flu. Solving the problem requires urgent, important communications from the CDC & FDA* and rapid development of research by the NIH** * Currently paused by Executive Order ** Grant reviews now all canceled www.kcur.org/news/2025-01...

i said a few times here and there before the election that we’ll see what the mass deportation plan looks like when it’s ICE agents dragging grandmothers out of churches and, well, here we are
