Outside

Something from last winters road trip to the Sonoran Desert. Cholla Cactus flowers for all the world look like roses.

Me: that’s weird… who would leave a pie out here? My friend who studied Traps in College: NATE NO!!!!

How Federal Workers Can Organize for Defense Against DOGE The chaos induced by Musk and friends is already causing mass outrage. Millions of ordinary people affected can become allies of workers and unions. Here's how to join the fight.

Asking a 14yo Mormon kid knocking on my door if he is the strongest paladin they have? If i am to be swayed, send me your warriors, not your welps

Rep. Zooey Zephyr - My Wife - just gave an incredible speech against a drag ban in Montana. It was so strong that a Republican rose to speak passionately against the bill, chastising the sponsor. The drag ban dies in Montana, flips 10+ Republican votes! This is the power of representation.

"As we learned more about autism through autistic sources and also—though [my son] is still minimally speaking—as his ability to communicate improved, it became clear our otherwise cheerful & affectionate teen was in agony, not “acting out” because of autism." www.thetransmitter.org/spectrum/cli...

Typically, media identify with the officials who don't want to do anything rather than with the voters who want them to do more.

If you’re doing the “economic boycott” today then I suggest using that $ to buy a meal or 2 for someone living on the streets. Or Venmo a young person in your life that needs some cash & then tomorrow think about how you & your neighbors can pool together $ & resources for your community… and then…

My latest piece @thenation.com is called "MSNBC's DEATH RATTLE". It's about the new boss, the recent firings, and my own 20 year history appearing on the network. I try to connect it to Bezos murdering the Wash Post the same week and assessing the dual significance www.thenation.com/article/soci...

Ask Dem leadership what they think the best thing to do is. Then do the opposite.

One of the savvy takes you hear every so often is that Elon is actually extremely smart beyond his specific technical competencies and is only pretending to be dumb to get in with Republicans. We've seen no evidence of this whatsoever.

I made this the other night while procrastinating, mainly because I thought all the posts about the blackout were boring. It feels like there is momentum bringing people together!

550 faculty and staff at the California Institute of the Arts are unionizing with @uaw.org.

1,600 manufacturing workers in Sacramento are unionizing as Siemens Workers United in joint affiliation with @ibewinternational.bsky.social and @boilermakers.bsky.social.

you're telling me a shrimp fried this rice?

In this new piece we show that as the imperial core imposed structural adjustment programs on Africa, Africans were forced to consume less while their surplus resources were transferred instead out to the capitalist world economy effectively *for free*. roape.net/2025/02/28/p...

Guess we are doing this again. We’re not gonna abandon the red states we’re gonna build solidarity with the citizens inside the rightwing autocratic core.

🚨NEWS: While Elon Musk has been slashing federal agencies in the name of "efficiency," his company has been raking in $2 MILLION A DAY of government cash every single day since Trump's inauguration, according to federal records reviewed by The Lever.

Ironic that the people who complain about 'no one bothering to just have a simple conversation' and 'ppl having their face stuck in a screen!' and 'kids and their damn phones' just voted in the potential AI dystopia

Legitimately the stupidest man alive I cannot fucking STAND this shit

This news truly breaks my heart. We are calling on HHS to take immediate action. Secretary Kennedy needs to bring back weekly measles tracking from the CDC, rehire the health experts, and roll out a serious vaccine campaign. Our kids' safety is on the line! abcnews.go.com/Health/1st-m...

The government talks all the time about wanting disabled people to work. Here I am working yet I can't get the medical care to keep working long term. Doctors won't fill out disability paperwork yet also won't give me the meds or treatments I need to keep working long term.

Rest in Glory #AaronBushnell

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

If pentagon contracts were a federal agency, they would be the biggest federal agency

I agree we need to stay on message, and that message should be: "This is why you don't limit healthcare for anyone. Because if you limit it for people you don't like, it comes back around to you. Healthcare has to be for everyone."

One of my little unspoken 2025 goals for myself has been to leave a positive review for every game, book, and comic I enjoy this year. An actual review on the storefront where I purchased it. Not even for capitalism reasons, just to leave them a nice note that won't get lost in the scroll

I probably would have been writing a ton about Project 2025 in 2024 if it were not for the genocide. I'm sure that's true about a ton of the best policy researchers out there. The impact of Democratic Party-backed genocide comes through in a thousand different ways that are largely not measurable

Autistic mothers in maternity care felt many staff didn’t understand how autistic people communicate & experience pain, & can "feel pain at the same level as non-autistic people—but often show it differently, including having fewer outward signs of pain." theconversation.com/autistic-wom... #autism

Class war against poor, disabled, and working people being waged by the world’s richest man.

NEW: 177 workers for the International Rescue Committee in NJ and MD are unionizing with @opeiu.bsky.social

📢 “He’s trying to steal Medicaid to enrich himself. He’s gutting NASA to line his pockets with SpaceX. He’s looting everything good in America for private profit.” - @aoc.bsky.social at today’s #SaveOurServices NYC rally. The fight isn’t over. Join us: go.savepublicservices.com

🚨 We’re outside SpaceX in SC because federal workers won’t let billionaires privatize NASA for profit. We won’t let them gut Medicare for the insurance industry. Public services belong to all of us—not the ultra-rich. Join the fight: go.savepublicservices.com #SaveOurServices
