It's easy to feel cynical about this sort of thing in this present moment but it's so important that ideas like this are fully formed and ready to go whenever there's a chance to implement them. Gotta keep dreaming about the world we want to build

Please help us correct misinformation! Our hotline is being incorrectly shared as "Canada's national suicide hotline open toll free for Americans". We are not a general crisis hotline, we exist exclusively to support the trans community. Find out more @ translifeline.org

they know there's going to be an apocalypse for trucking jobs due to tariffs so they're trying to stem the political damage by making it so the layoffs disproportionately affect non-english speaking truckers

This is crazy. ICE didn’t have event have a warrant to arrest the guy! The judge asked for it and they said “we have an administrative warrant” (not a real warrant). She told them to kick rock and now the FBI is charging her with obstruction the arrest ‼️

I spoke to @sarahsbrannen.bsky.social, author of Uncle Bobby's Wedding, about Justice Alito butchering the message of her book during oral arguments—a distortion that inadvertently revealed the justice's own paranoid homophobia, a bigotry at the heart of this rotten case. slate.com/news-and-pol...

PLEASE don’t buy into Amazon’s booksale this week. They are intentionally trying to eat into profits from Indie Bookstore Day this weekend, a really important annual event for our important community institutions. Check out your local fave or bookshop.org.

Toxicologist here! This will improve the health of zero Americans. Current synthetic food dyes are not causing health problems, and are often times used because they are actually safer than natural food dyes. Reminder that guns are the #1 cause of death of children but we are going to ban food dyes.

Really need journalists to push back on this bullshit. When they say this, just ask them point blank: "Are you saying that because one Latino man committed a murder, another Latino man deserves a life sentence? Do you think all Latino men interchangeable?"

a friendly reminder never to buy your books from Amazon, where they are used as a loss leader so that you'll buy a flatscreen TV and your toilet paper instead-- and then use that money to send Katy Perry to space. Books aren't just products. They're culture. Buy them from those who understand that.

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

I'm not Jewish but I must admit it was horrifying when Trump said 'Chuck Schumer isn't Jewish anymore' and somehow that wasn't a headline story for days. Guy who isn't Jewish says I'm the Arbiter of Judaism and that's not an obvious tell of what comes next?
