hahaha our shitty legislators passed a law barring the display of any non-official flags on state property (including schools) in an effort to limit rainbow flags, so my city just voted to adopt the pride flag as one of our official flags. happy pride y'all!

The Solicitor General of the Dept. of Labor is responsible for enforcing labor laws. Who is Trump’s pick for the position? The author of Project 2025’s labor chapter — which called for gutting labor laws, limiting OT pay, and weakening unions. The “pro-worker” president...

Raskin: This is a gangster state. This is not basically a legitimate government that is sometimes doing corrupt things. This is an essentially corrupt enterprise. It's like watching The Sopranos. Every day, they get up and they try to figure out how to plunder and pillage the people

New AI models are getting clever—and defiant. OpenAI’s “smartest” model was told to shut down. It said no. Researchers caught it overriding shutdown scripts to finish tasks—raising new alarms about AI autonomy. #BlueSky #MedSky #NewsSky #AI

Stop the @bsky.app bashing. We’re all under a tremendous strain. We’re not perfect. I block when I need to, but ignore most foolishness. Don’t become goaded into leaving a platform that’s doing almost all the right things. To organize for 2026, we need to stay in communication w/each other.
