sigh. it’s true.

In 2024, the NLRB filed a complaint against Tesla for interfering in a union drive at their Buffalo, NY assembly plant. Today:

New and devastating reporting from my colleagues showing just how dangerous it has become to be pregnant and in Texas after the state banned abortion. Please read and share: www.propublica.org/article/texa...

I have a little context to add to this outstanding reporting. ICE lawyer James Rodden is a devout white christian nationalist who has appeared in the network built around the Lutheran nazi podcast Stone Choir. He has promoted it & has regularly interacted w co-host Ryan Dumperth aka Treblewoe. 1/

the more i think about this, and the daily calls i've made to my local electeds... i'm furious that the dems cant speak truth. wtf are they doing?

has barack obama said a word in public over the last 3 weeks?

our election security agency is now open to a teenager who was verifiably part of a CSAM extortion ring

This was just 233 days ago:

REJECT THEIR FRAMING: it hasn’t even save $16 billion considering how much those positions contributed to the economy. For example, “In fiscal year 2023, every $1 of NIH funding generated approximately $2.46 of economic activity”. So ask how much money we are losing with these cuts.

NEW --There's this guy in the executive branch who in less than a month has already spent NEARLY 11 MILLION DOLLARS of taxpayer money playing golf. Yet the whole thing has flown under the radar of the crack waste/fraud/abuse squad over at DOGE somehow. www.huffpost.com/entry/donald...

Elon Musk is involved in government because he is bad at business. He is removing these consumer safeguards because otherwise his terrible businesses will never have a shot at bringing products to market.

republicans are the party of pedophiles and sex traffickers

Dom Lucre was suspended from Twitter for posting brutal child pornography / child murder videos. Elon Musk personally reinstated him. A White House visit for this felon is unthinkable.

The Trump official currently dismantling USAID was caught in a secret meeting with a group of pro-Russian separatists in the Balkans. Those he met with are under American sanctions for trying to restart the Bosnian war in the name of Christian nationalism. 1/

terrifying

seems like it is a big deal that the unifying ideology of the doge team is neo nazism

you can look at this and say we're divided or you can look at this and say that a majority of americans oppose every one of these things

photo world and book world. chris arnade and jd vance.

there are 110 registered for mens 40+ at next weekends tucson bicycle classic. i'm feeling close to the strongest i've ever been but probably will finish on like 90th place based on a quick look through the start list. old dudes are insane

Expounding: Bringing factories back to the USA doesn't mean corporations are going to start giving out living wages, good healthcare and pensions again like the 1960s. It only got that way because of the unions...and MAGA doesn't like those.

you should read david’s thread for a thorough dismantling of this article. i will only add that it is very disappointing, although not altogether surprising, to see some progressives treat trump’s war on DEI as a legitimate policy difference and not as an explicit effort to resegregate the workforce

so this whole ass article is making a case for tr*mps idiotic, false, crusade based on a program that was in place for 4 years and ended in 2020 even though it isn't even clear that the 4 years caused any slowdown in hiring? wtf are we even doing? it surely isn't good journalism

sick of this guy being touted as a resistance hero when he has consistently voted for trump appointees and paid lip service to steven miller’s framing in immigration giving ground to fascists is not the way to stop them @gallego.senate.gov

Tapping this sign again. Gonna tap it every week. Forget your savvy & your cleverness & your 3D chess. Just skip to the end, where you *fight*.

after the overturning of roe, black infant mortality has spiked nearly 11% in states with abortion bans: www.reuters.com/world/us/inf...

Eggs, 1982

do you think anyone realized these people would immediately get lucrative offers from foreign governments and that would immediately increase national security threats or no

If you get the opportunity I really recommend hitting any Cybertruck drivers you see with a classic eye-contact thumbs down. So much more bang for your buck than flipping the bird

i hope all these democratic senators who let stuff pass by unanimous consent yesterday have a great weekend in munich. fucking losers

this is a good example of the attitude that has led democrats down the road to disaster. it rests on the belief that public opinion cannot be shaped or mobilized or moved, only reacted to

i wasn't *at* this show, but i was sitting outside the fence drinking a beer (fourloko) 10 feet from the fence laughing at the lines trying to get into the show. i think my greenpoint life won the day

someone needs to tell DOJ that in a public corruption case you're supposed to *prosecute* public corruption, not *do* public corruption

low T losers … they can’t erase Trans folks just by removing a letter. we know that people are people even if these ghouls suck

the federal government wants me personally on grey market hormones and meth

This letter, from now-resigned prosecutor Danielle Sassoon to Pam Bondi, is worth reading in full. Simply put, there is no non-corrupt reason for dismissing Eric Adams’ case. The Trump DOJ is itself obstructing both justice and the rule of law. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
