Even if it is fleeting, I take great joy when evil people are sad. I can still find room to bask in these small moments of comeuppance, even if they are minuscule compared to the pain and suffering they have caused.

Elon threatening to just leave people on the ISS is making a pretty good case for why you nationalize your space program!

JET FOOL CAN’T MELT STEELER TEAMS

One should not interrupt a leopard while it is feasting.

Instead of MAHA creating false conspiracies about how America became so unhealthy, they should consider that the sugar, and starches used to make sugar (beets and corn), are given billions of dollars in subsidies to make it very cheap to use in foods. Not well subsidized: fruits and veggies

I still think this is one of the most gutting notes I’ve ever read.

The largest labor union in NYC is the NYC Central Labor Council. It represents about 1.5 million workers. It has an annual budget of about $3 million. There are at least 120 billionaires who call NYC home.

The best response to Abundance talk is a single tweet from Ruairi Wood, RIP brother.

Is it a bad sign that at the first meeting of The Centrist Coalition to Fight Fascism they view people being mean to them online as an insurmountable obstacle?

Being given the map (or AAA Triptik) to help with navigation was a right of passage like no other

PRO PUBLICA: Of the 238 men sent to an El Salvador mega prison, only 6 had prior violent crime convictions. 0 were on the gang member list. 130 had no criminal history. 32 had minor offenses. All 238 thought they were being sent back to Venezuela. www.instagram.com/p/DKcjM7FPhz...

My higher ed takes: -Only the largest state Us (which should be free to anyone making less than 300% poverty line) should be “something for everyone.” -Private colleges should be smaller and specialized; too many have grad schools -All schools receiving fed funds should have a max of 15% adjuncts

Santa Ono is just the latest example of the fact that there is no amount of acquiescence* that will ever appease the monsters. You have two choices: fight or F off *Ono spent the better part of the last six months doing everything he could to endear himself to the MAGA people ruining higher ed

if you represent or work for a hospital who gets investigated by the FBI, i want to talk to you. my signal is in my bio.

The reason the Democratic Party is so ineffectual is that they built themselves to be the best fundraisers, not the best fighters

“.. US stocks have underperformed international stocks by 13.6ppt YTD — the biggest gap in 32 years.” VTI $VEU @mikezaccardi.bsky.social

Unbelievably horrified by this attack in Boulder. We don’t know the full story of the attacker, but no matter what it is, let me be clear: Senseless, antisemitic attacks do not help Palestinians, Jews, or Israelis. Committing terror attacks against people standing for hostages is disgusting.

This is why "you're right, it isn't what you voted for, because your values aren't shared by the Republican Party" is a much more effective message to help build a better America than "yes you did vote for this, you bad person" which fails to take advantage of this once-in-a-generation opportunity

The woman who lost a longevity contest with a cabbage is doing a RETVRN

Pretty wild to make your entire case about how immigrants are lawless freeloaders, but having to go to their workplaces and court hearings to arrest them.

It’s better than even odds that Trump shared this dumb post because he didn’t have his glasses on and he liked the photo and now the White House press secretary will have to be like “Experts agree that it’s quite possible cyborgs walk among us, no matter what the fake news claims.”
