The Pen & Pencil in Philadelphia is one of America's oldest press clubs, and it's now at risk of closing after 130 years. It's a city institution, one that's more important now than ever. If you have a few bucks to spare it would be greatly appreciated:

Until I was able to see it writtten down I wasn’t gonna comment on it but now that it’s written. It’s beyond fucked up that Sean Baker made the film DGA and SAG-AFTRA, but didn’t make it IATSE. I’m tired of someone making populist talking points. But not putting there money where there mouth is.

I think if you don't want to buy things from major retailers today or any day that is great, and I would also love for everyone to remember that successful movements usually need to involve labor, and to start thinking of yourself as a worker first and a consumer second

Working in the service industry was truly a masterclass in solidarity for me, lmao. If you never trauma-bonded with your coworkers over absolutely vile exploitation at the hands of a tyrant, did you even work at the local dive? Lol

Whenever there’s an action that comes up like this you have to ask “who’s organizing this and why?” so you don’t end up accidentally joining in the action of a woo-woo guy who has the same goals as Trump and DOGE

I'm not worried about Trump. The Democrats have proven that the president does not have the power to make large changes. There will be some incremental tinkering with numbers at the margins, but mostly it will be business as usual. The ship of state turns slowly.

We are being governed by the weirdest and most alien sociopath-political tendency of all time, one that can’t even conceive of friendship or even human connection existing outside the bounds of hierarchy and domination

The subsidized parking crusaders at CCRA started a brand new c4 specifically to fight safety improvements and loading zones (which we should have more of everywhere) on Spruce & Pine. These selfish people have no shame. Thankfully, many people are not buying what they’re selling

a major part of why we are here is that people do not have the courage of their convictions and are unwilling to take responsibility for things they say and do

Penn has always wanted to be the nation's leading university and it finally is -- in chickenshit cowardice I guess when your most famous alums are Donald Trump and Elon Musk you have a legacy to live down to www.inquirer.com/education/un...

The president just implemented one of the largest mass layoffs in American history – potentially 200,000 people in a single day – and democrats are not on the floors of Congress right now doing anything about it because they called it a day early to go drinking with Republicans in Berlin instead.

THEY ARE DEFUNDING MEDICAID AND BUYING CYBERTRUCKS WITH THE MONEY. Dems stop saying "uh he promised he would lower the cost of living" and take the layup

Feel like Dem leadership response to this chaos right now is taking 3 to 5 business days.

Musk is the culmination of a slow-moving corporate coup by the oligarch class that has been decades in the making. But that doesn't change the fact that this marks a new and unspeakably dangerous chapter.

maybe there was actually a pretty good reason for the 14th amendment to have banned insurrectionists who tried to overthrow the government from serving in government and the decision to just decide it was a dead letter and ignore it was a horrible mistake?

I love watching cars and people blink in and out of existence on the big useless Tesla screens in ubers

we are never going to get septa funding if nobody rides septa. nobody rides septa because the incentives for driving outweigh the incentives for using transit. in order to get people to stop driving you need to disincentivize driving by making transit a more desirable option.

Driver of the bus back from nyc wearing a bird gang jacket over an eagles jersey I can’t believe I ever wondered which bus was mine

As a fire on my el train this morning nearly made me miss a bus to NYC, I don’t buy the disingenuous argument that more SEPTA riders are somehow bad for the agency. What kind of society are we trying to build here?
