I am in charge of waste management in Gaza City.

Would someone in tech please talk to libraries about how decades of making their labor invisible has worked for us? Spoiler: Too well, lots of budget cuts and devaluing of the labor no one can see. People think that the materials are made available by magical elves.

one of the biggest problems with "we must partner with a Reasonable Republican" messaging - even if your goal is to pick off R-leaning indies - is that it completely contradicts the (correct) messaging that the Republican party is now a fascist cult that wants to destroy the country

Republican federal judges have struck down six major Biden initiatives in two months. GOP politicians don't have to advance the party's very unpopular views. Instead, they can rely on the party's super-partisan judges who never have to stand before voters. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Any story about this which fails to mention that they think that federal legislation (namely, the Comstock Act) ALREADY gives them the authority to ban abortion is flat-out irresponsible

Yet another article laundering far-right into "economic anxiety." The author never considers whether men support Trump because they like his policies on immigration or queer people. She just lets them cast their preferences in the most sympathetic light possible. www.nytimes.com/2024/08/24/u...

Subway is owned by a private equity firm that raised the prices on their $5 footlongs up to $14. Now the price back down to $6.99. It was never about “inflation.” It was a private equity firm using inflation as an excuse to price gouge customers. Always expose corporate greed.

"There will be pressure on Harris to dismiss the protests; to brand everyone with a sign antisemitic; to move on as if a genocide isn’t happening. I hope she doesn’t listen ...It would be a moral failure of the highest degree, writes @sarahjones.bsky.social. nymag.com/intelligence...

I'd second this, fwiw. Every expert analysis I've seen of how toxicity spreads on X notes that any engagement with the toxin, even as rebuttal, ridicule, pillory, is just a variant of amplification. Block the bad, share the good is what works.

I can't express how genuinely angry I am that credulous rubes posted a fucking Advocate article with 'source: she SAID she likes us faggots, ergo she's good now' that was nothing but a PR suckjob (like most Advocate trash) when actual people were saying 'she loves this kind of shit actually'.

Harris today condemning anti-genocide protesters, slandering them as antisemites, whilst hosting the war criminal prime minister of an apartheid regime is unsurprising. She represents continuation for the status-quo, nothing more. If that makes you angry, go to your community build something new.
