Elon’s mass harassment email to all federal employees underscores the importance of having unions to represent workers against abusive management.

Jeffries: hey the GOP controls the government, absolutely nothing i can do, gonna work on my personal book tour Sanders: brb i am going to personally barnstorm strategic GOP house districts and try to peel off 2 votes so we can block Trump's cuts to Medicaid www.commondreams.org/news/bernie-...

What the fuck is wrong with Democrats

The Trump regime is using all the carceral tricks Democrats and Republicans created — gang databases based on tattoos and vibes.

It is obscenely racist and a form of genocide whitewashing to act like two dead Israeli children is earth shattering news while actively ignoring or justifying the 20,000+ Palestinian children viciously and violently exterminated by the Israeli state

Rufo called me a groomer and sent his audience after my family because I said I was fine with my daughter going to therapy. CPS got called. It took months to get rid of them. My former colleagues thought it was hilarious and did nothing.

Nina Simone. Born this day in 1933. Ink, pencil and watercolour drawing from 2018.

Always was. 👊🏻

A while back now, the real NYT proved itself far more ridiculous than this satire account ever could. I expect essentially this editorial within the week.

At the core of transphobia is the belief that men are inherently superior to women. It's the reason fascists and evangelical fundamentalists embrace it so wholeheartedly.

I'm afraid that any politician motivated naked ambition today -- regardless of party -- will align with the new "king".

The Holocaust's single most famous victim died of typhus!

Absolutely nailed it.

I wonder if this even matters anymore

Every ten minutes here is like: - Trump doubles student debt - Musk now has keys to your house and is in your bathroom doing plumbing drugs - Three planes just crashed - Trump signs EO making women illegal - Face-melted Nazi from Indiana Jones now in charge of CIA - Meteor not arriving fast enough

It takes a wealthy upbringing, Ivy-League education, and endless praise from very powerful people to become this pure of a hack.

In response to attacks on DEI, many have increased calls for inclusion instead of autonomy and self-determination. I wrote about the risks of mixing old integrationist rhetoric with Black capitalism and looking to representation and more consumerism as solutions. prismreports.org/2025/02/18/d...

Chait, eviscerated. Whether a writer of the old-school Center-Right like Kristol can be redeemed as we enter these new Dark Times is an open question. Unlike the demonstrably worthless opportunism of supposed "liberals" like Chait.

Nursing a take that the major Silicon Valley firms can be understood as organized crime syndicates and perform some of the same functions as the old ones used to — money laundering, feeding addictions, skirting regulations, political influence.

What these parents are doing is refusing to allow their child to receive lifesaving treatment. That is the sort of thing that *routinely* prompts state child welfare agencies to remove children from their parents' care.

The Sudetes as German territory? Hitler thinks it would be a boon to the nation's living space. But it would also be a boon to the SPD, who would gain a lot more voters.

this took me OUT alaskan.social/@feelnotes/1...

People don’t talk about Raegan firing all the air traffic controllers *enough*, but yes, absolutely

I had understood that Drake had already been publicly executed by Mr. K Lamar. Can a dead man be murdered again? 😱😝🤣

@rsgat.bsky.social will tell you all about it

“It is deeply ironic and telling that both the alleged pro-Israel perpetrator and the pro-Israel victim in the Miami Beach shooting reportedly hold racist anti-Palestinian views,” said CAIR's Nihad Awad. https://buff.ly/4i1HN0j #Palestine #Israel

Don't post AI slop. And if you repost by mistake, as I've done, delete it. When you have something to say and attach AI art, you're undercutting your message and hurting artists. Pay or barter for art. There's a reason good things cost money and take time. AI art is harmful and it looks like ass.

Protest at Tesla dealership, SF

Anti-musk/Trump protest in SF on Van Ness and O’Farrell right now

Surprising none of us who’ve been around the scene for a minute, those rich obnoxious ppl who have gradually subsumed burning man really are the right wing fascists many accused them of being ~25yrs ago.

Imperial boomerang: the rest of the world knows that kleptocrats turned IMF-endorsed talk of "anti-corruption" and "cutting waste" into a license to loot the government. Musk is now bringing this long-standing propaganda move to the metropole, and the US media has no antibodies for it.

a starbucks barista is seen as more elite than a suburban car dealer

It is a profound shame that the most boring people on the planet have drained the revolutionary vitality out of liberal thought to use it as a cudgel to wield against college students that annoy them.
