Happy May Day! Here is the Haymarket Martyrs' Monument at Forest Home Cemetery in Forest Park, the resting place of five men who in 1887 died at the hands of the state for advocating for workers' rights. A thread of a few other Labor-related graves I have visited follows.

had to use a promo code and a credit that expired at midnight, so i designed a new sticker sheet inspired by nothing and nobody in particular

Trains! Trains! Trains!

I just think comics should last longer than six issues, is all.

Yeah the rotisserie chicken amendment is neat! Unfortunately it was attached to the Farm Bill which locked in $187 billion in cuts to SNAP. So, yes, now SNAP can be used for rotisserie chickens but more importantly, this bill means red tape, cuts & tons of people losing access to food completely.

my mind is never silent, this is the default track. dipadeedopadoedoe

Me when my GM called my gunslinger unfair because I kept using Called Shot on flying critters and spellcasters. "SKILL ISSUE LMAOOOOOOO"

Two weeks ago, we walked out of @propublica.org’s offices for a one-day strike to demand a fair contract. We haven’t gotten ANY proposals from management since then. Tell our bosses that you’ll support us if we have to strike again: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

it is devastating to notice how few benches there are in the world and how some benches have been replaced by weird "leaning" things. the world is incredibly cruel to disabled, elderly, poor, pregnant, tired, homeless, and all people. there should be benches fucking everywhere for everyone

the way we let homeowners talk about renters is despicable, fuck these assholes blockclubchicago.org/2026/04/23/p...

I thought this felt relatable

SCOOP: Two weeks ago, the head of the CDC delayed publication of a report showing covid vaccine cut likelihood of ER visits and hospitalizations by half. Now that report is no longer allowed to be published in CDC’s flagship scientific journal. My latest. 1/2 www.washingtonpost.com/health/2026/...

This Is Just To Say I have turned off the AI features that were in the update and which you were probably hoping to monetize Fuck you they were stupid so unnecessary and so annoying

Superman Day but also SUPERGIRL DAY

"They were so lucky I was looking" Ummm no. Stopping in time for a child running onto the street is not heroic/lucky, it is your goddamn obligation as a driver. Cost of entry. Kids are allowed to be unpredictable, you are not.

Dear multiple companies today, stop making me tap the sign

If you didn’t think it was possible after yesterday’s house editorial (left) for Washpost Opinion to more obsequiously parrot their owner’s tax agenda, well, you probably haven’t seen today’s piece (right)

The Star Trek movies (sorta in order) The One With the Whales KKKKHHHHAAAAANNNN Why does God need a spaceship AI is bad, actually Spock is alive! Kirk and spock go to prison Slay, Queen Slay, King Kirk dies off screen Fountain of youth Abrams rerun 1 Abrams 2 Part 3? The fashy movie

#TrekADay It's the 20th anniversary Star Trek film (twice that amount of time has passed since), and the last time Trek was just Kirk and Spock. Obviously, we all know what it's called.

the fact that legislators are trying to say that computers are devices that require id verification and tracking to use should put fear into EVERYONE. FIGHT AGAINST THIS.

"The rise of extreme wealth is one of the clearest signs of this imbalance. In 1987, billionaires held wealth equal to 3% of global GDP. Today this tiny elite, just 0.0001% of the world population, owns the equivalent of *16%* of world GDP in wealth."

Hi, this is me telling you that "get woke, go broke" is the furthest from the possible truth. Beyond the baseline misunderstanding of "woke", please observe Target and Disney, two companies that thrived on diversity until conservative stockholders let their ideology fuck up their money.

What if we just cleared Congress of all the abusers and sex pests this week what is stopping us who cares what party they are in

Instead of asking chatgpt, why not ask a librarian? You'll get real answers and they won't tell you to kill yourself.

Man idk how to express how demoralizing it is to see people doing joke support for the Pope as the Catholic Church implements the most draconian trans healthcare ban anywhere in the US. It's a FULL ADULT TRANS HEALTHCARE BAN!!!THEY KEEP BUYING MORE HOSPITALS!!!!!!! Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

“People need to be nicer to each other online” and “people need to develop thicker skin because it’s not normal or healthy to get upset at everything you don’t agree with” are two statements than can and should coexist actually

Eviction, healthcare denial, food scarcity, overwork, imprisonment—all these things are violent.

We reviewed hundreds of pages of ICE death reports, autopsies, and other records from 32 deaths with a total of 14 doctors. Doctors determined that at least 17 times, people died after medical staff delayed or failed to provide critical care that might have saved their lives

It really is impressive (derogatory) that you can look at basically any policy from Republicans and their position will be one that will either directly or indirectly lead to death, injury, pain, or suffering, whether physical or mental. An entire party committed to hurting Americans.

The "duped voter" narrative is a comforting myth. If only we had better messaging. The reality is tens of millions of voters looked at a platform of mass deportation, ethnic cleansing, state violence, and the dismantling of civil rights, clearly understood it, and said, "Yes, that is what I want."

PSA: SUPERMAN SMASHES THE KLAN, one of the best superhero comics ever made, is FREE TO READ all this month on DC Universe Infinite.

We’re on strike today! Support our fight for a fair contract by NOT visiting the @propublica.org website or engaging with ProPublica stories today. Tell ProPublica’s management you won’t cross the picket line: actionnetwork.org/petitions/te...

New: 150 unionized ProPublica workers are on strike TODAY over AI, layoff protections, wages, and more. They're asking readers to not visit ProPublica or engage with content on other platforms. It's the first work stoppage of its kind at the newsroom. www.theverge.com/news/908401/...

Never forget, a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users. ALL ROAD USERS. What about painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all. For sharrows, it’s actually safer to NOT have them. Via @usa.streetsblog.org @nyc.streetsblog.org

The person in the screenshot is operating on the same spectrum as bigots like M4L who back book bans. You don't get to parent other people's children. And children are people with their own minds and free will.

Means-testing also makes programs cost more than they would under a universal model, because so much money gets wasted on verification, surveillance, and compliance.

“I think it’s incredibly important to do whole genome sequencing for outbreaks,” Andersen said, “but we shouldn’t need to do this for measles in the first place, because we have an extremely effective and safe vaccine.”

A WIRED analysis of DHS records identified dozens of specialized federal agents who used force against US civilians during the largest known deployment of its kind in US history. www.wired.com/story/border...

Aid to Ukraine from 2022-2026 was a rounding error. We used more in the first two weeks of the Iran war than we provided in the 4 years of aid to Ukraine.

it's time to tap the sign again -- understanding the origins + history of classical antisemitism tropes means that you can be clear on what legitimate critiques of a state you might want to critique might be & what might be promulgating 2000 year-old scapegoating conspiracy theories

He looks like if The Matrix was about being cis.
