CIS PEOPLE TIME TO STEP UP it’s once again time to yell at our bad government via online comment form the FCC is trying to make trans and nonbinary content require special ratings on shows GLAAD has a good writeup on it below TELL ‘EM NO direct link to comment form: www.fcc.gov/ecfs/filings...

When the aliens come and ask us to explain ourselves I will point them to Cory Doctorow

My very unpopular opinion is that this framing won’t play well in the South. And it might still matter. But what do I know?

Well, “you failed and we, the non-racists, are here to save your simple asses” is one kind of message to send to the organizations on the ground I guess. I simply might go a different way.

The South got somethin to say. Also lmao that "the North" has its shit figured out.

Mamdani: I cannot help but think of the words of our 40th president, Ronald Reagan. He famously said, “The nine most terrifying words in the English language are 'I'm from the govt & I'm here to help'" I think nine more terrifying words are actually, "I worked all day and can't feed my family"

“People prefer cars over transit, why should we subsize trains?” *cue up teachable moment*

Worker power is sometimes in showing a world without their labor.

We have a new article out on looking back at what the past decade of congressional hearings indicates about how Congress thinks about FEMA. A timely article considering the recent release of the FEMA Council Report and the FEMA Reform bill in Congress. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Thousands are marching in Selma calling for a full restoration of the voting rights act.

More to come but I will say this: the liberal institutional infrastructure of mobility is gone. People are mad. Women are people. No one is speaking to that anger. Midterms soon come. But that’s just the start. Here lies the girlboss. First to die but not the last. Good riddance.

I won’t say “rig” for liability purposes but it *is* time to start-up the massive misinformation machine.

"Nobody wants a parasocial bestie who shills for the plutocrats who are nullifying their votes, degrading their educations, jacking up their power bills, stealing their wages and rigging the system. There is no feminist case for scaring people into adopting A.I." baby pumping its fist dot gif

Just recently began the process of cataloging my 14+ years worth of articles. It's extremely tedious, but I know better than to pretend as if anything that exists on the internet is forever

The pitt spinoff show called the DMV where every season someone from the DMV gets into a fistfight and gets transfered to the Pitt

The trick is that "the little man" he refers to will never admit to being that "little man".

I don't remember exactly what I said but I once made my book club very concerned about my job because of my allegiance to the tetanus shot 😅 📜

Congrats, comrades!!! There is power in a union!!

Lots of good union-based news coming out of higher ed this year

Trump is poised to effectively steal $1.7 BILLION in taxpayer funds to pay off January 6ers and other political allies, without any oversight by Congress and despite the fact that the people who’ll be handed cash straight from our paychecks don’t have viable legal claims.

Omg 😭😭😭

The power of material culture indeed

ICYMI: @kyle-rempfer.bsky.social FOIA'd the Air Force's report on Aaron Bushnell, the airman who set himself on fire in protest of the war in Gaza. There is a ton of previously unreported info here, including his work for the NSA and several details of his life. taskandpurpose.com/news/airman-...

"The oligarchs want a permanent ruling class. The extremists want a permanent underclass to grind a boot into. The deal between them is straightforward enough: the oligarchs get captured courts and permanent tax cuts, the extremists get their hierarchy of human worth written back into the law"

Wait but can we support librarians accused of criming but who are just doing their jobs www.gofundme.com/f/help-lavon...

In addition, Family Search frequently utilizes prison labor to digitize materials they make available so it's just a turducken of exploitation activehistory.ca/blog/2026/04...

The price of gas is super visible. But there's also patriarchy at work in this pattern. Men and women put gas in their own cars (or trucks or SUVs or minivans). But women buy most of the rest of what households regularly need. So, those prices, like everything about women's labor, are less visible.

Alright this oughta work

*screams in NCGOP*

Looking forward to reading this, I'm v curious

weird how many contexts the simple question "have you tried being pleasant to be around?" seems to unlock these days

Things you can do to earn your keep: Clean stuff Fix shit Kitchen dance parties Listen to her Plan a fun party Make good playlists Learn guitar for sing-a-longs Laundry

My mostly southern team introduced me to the side dish "funeral potatoes" today. I am 50% GA/NC but my gramma ain't introduce me to these; the internet attributes them to Mormons but we ain't got a ton in NC. Are funeral potatoes a thing for you??

If I named all the pubs that operated this way: driving out people who are good at what they do just because the new boss doesn't like them or align with them personally, I'd run out of characters and still have names to drop.

"What am I when women don't need me?" A human being lmfao tf

These bicameral GOP dumdums took two years to suggest we cut the reasonable 5% income tax rate (while they simultaneously eliminate corporate tax entirely) but continue to choke state employees and benefits like state supported Medicare as inflation spikes 😭

Look, what are we even doing here? No need to actually have opinions; LLMs will decide what your opinions would be if you could think. No need to actually exist anymore; LLMs will auto/generate the memories would would have if you actually experienced anything.

Came thru loud and clear at MPOW too, that this whole thing was someone else's fault

still a classic media.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2l...

Ok billionaires, here's the deal! Every week, a random American will call you up and tell you that you are all very special boys who worked hard for America. If we do that, can we tax and regulate you enough that, like, people don't have to live on the street or die bc they can't afford a surgery?

Classic Foxx unfortunately (btw she's 82)
