Lots of people are confused about this, but: IT IS STILL POSSIBLE TO FILE FOR UNION ELECTIONS THROUGH THE NLRB Bosses want us to think we can't hold union elections (because there's no national quorum at the NLRB) but that's just not true

Reagan was such a good president that you can see his impact on nearly every measure of America's economy and livelihood ♥️ in that he destroyed everything for everyone and is in hell being tortured by demons right now

I didn’t watch this but am I to understand that an elderly Black man stood up to a fascist, was then escorted out, and most of the white people in the room sat there and did nothing? Am I getting this right? I want to make sure before I say what I need to say.

This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.

If the Democrats bail out Mike Johnson on ANY spending bill, they deserve the utter political destruction coming their way. Some are already falling for the "but we'll get blamed for shutting down the government" b.s. Have you learned NOTHING? Not. One. Vote.

LGBTQ federal workers say they're terrified they're about to be fired for their gender identity, sexual orientation, or past efforts to support other queer and trans employees—in other words, a second Lavender Scare. Honored to have their trust with this story: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

I’m tired of it and the silence of it is the perfect example of how white people don’t seem to give s FUCK about what “first they came for actually mean” The anti DEI website full of names of targeted workers was published February 5th It was mostly Black www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

THIS. Sorkin gave us a vision of politics that suggested that rhetorical passion and acumen could change the world, and that has become the Democrat’s only tool instead of actual action

Today, Trump has: -indicated he'll purge the FBI of everyone who isn't a fanatical loyalist -allowed his crony to seize all government funding in an effective coup -ripped the entire federal government off the internet Today, Democrats have: -done nothing -said nothing -tweeted about egg prices

Elon Musk pushed out the FAA chief — who resigned 1 year into a 5 year term, last week. Why? Because last year the FAA fined SpaceX $600,000 — for safety violations. Now the FAA has no chief — and we just had the first commercial airline crash in 16 years.

Very moving @nhpr.bsky.social interview with a Jan 6er from Keene, NH, who rejected Trump’s pardon and sounds like he has grown tremendously in 4 years. “One thing I did not believe in was change before this experience…And now I believe change is necessary for survival.” www.nhpr.org/nh-news/2025...

The far right always preach about how we need to bring back respect and venerance for our elders. But when I say that according to my elders, there are only four ways to deal with fascists, .303, .30, .50, and 75mm, I'm a "problem" and "not like that".

Neil is the man he is and can still have claimed a friendship with Tori Amos, a victim of sexual assault and founder of RAINN, and have no introspection. These “male feminists” are really fucking something.

The fact that Gaiman could write Calliope unironically and be the monster he is honestly is a level of betrayal that I as a woman is both aghast at and not surprised by.

Elon Musk and JD Vance publicly supporting the neo-Nazis of Germany's AfD, just as an AfD supporter/Elon Musk fan kills 5 and injures 100+ in a terrorist attack at a Christmas market in Germany. Vance's pro-AfD statement came after the attack. It's bad. Not sure what else to say. Dark times ahead.

Every single woman I know has been directly threatened by someone and no one I know who has ever gone to the police has ever heard more than, gosh, good luck. The law protects those in power, and only those in power, and will trample everyone else's supposed rights to do so.

We've written an open letter regarding the Jesse Singal situation and the threat he poses because of his history of publishing private health information without the consent, a flagrant violation of Section 1-F of the Community Guidelines. Please sign and share!! chng.it/2CwpHcrM4v

I feel like a broken record here but if you, as a NATIONAL POLITICAL PARTY WITH A BILLION CHRISTING DOLLARS, throw AN ENTIRE PEOPLE GROUP under the bus because they’re unpopular among rich bigots, everyone with an ounce of sense will say to themselves “that’s what they’re going to do to me, too”

Jesse Singal is a liar and a fraud of a journalist and I will prove it as an unassailable fact in this thread. I'll also talk about why I don't think BlueSky moderation will do anything about him afterwards so stick around or maybe just skip to that if you don't want to read the boring details.

Once they've gotten us thoroughly trained to passively watch as one tiny, demonized minority is legislated and hounded out of public existence, they'll go after another, bigger minority group. And so on.

good morning to every trans person & also cis friends willing to raise their voices to speak in support of us. Jesse Singal is not a journalist, he is a rightwing extremist. Read this thread if you still don’t understand why so many people object to him being here. Block Singal & DNI with him.
