You don’t invite people to the Situation Room to try to bully them into removing their name from a discharge petition because you are innocent. Just saying.

I’m ashamed of Democrats today. I guess making people happy for Thanksgiving travel is more important than affordable healthcare.

Let's fucking go.

Protecting people's health care is worth fighting for. Stopping our health care system from going into a death spiral is worth fighting for. People want Democrats to stand for something.

"Democrats Deeply Worried About the Repercussions of Victory" could be the defining statement of our generation.

True horror. Also funny.

THIS MOTHERFUCKER HELD A GREAT GATSBY PARTY WHILE 43 MILLION PEOPLE GO HUNGRY AND HEALTHCARE COSTS KEEP RISING.

I’ve been following the development of this game for a while and, if they can pull it off, it could be something special. Daybreak the board game also explores climate change and what we could do about it in interesting ways! PS please have a Mac version…

New York Times Op-Ed one year ago

I love how Rep. Joe Neguse reframed this question.

This is bound to be good so check it out. Very much enjoyed his Labor History class for the ULA summer program at UMass!

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year. UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year. Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

They don’t even pretend to care. This is the only story. You can’t open the government if the House refuses to show up.

7 things the Trump administration could do instead of sending money to Argentina: - Lower health insurance premiums - Restore family food assistance - Cancel student debt - Fund public media - Restore USAID - Fund military child care for 20 years - Fund the CFPB for 50 years

Trump did say he was going to bring down prices!

this rocks. when indiana edu killed the student newspaper, Purdue stepped up, printed the forbidden issue, drove it to Bloomington and stocked the boxes.

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

This is such a great game that speaks to a space in cyberpunk that not a lot of games do.

Says it all.

Garbage people everywhere in the Republican Party.

A cartoon by Barry Blitt.

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

What Thiel is saying about tax havens = what Altman is saying about copyright: "I can't be rich unless you let me steal from you." This is how Broligarchs differ from oligarchs of yore: the latter tried to hide their thievery; the Broligarchs trumpet their entitlement to steal as a natural right.

Is it a fast-paced heist? Is it a vivid, sexual, unyielding exploration of love, morality, and control that leaves us begging for a sequel? One way to decide. Pick up Shigidi and the Brass Head of Obalufon by Wole Talabi. bookshop.org/p/books/shig...

Side note: lest you think this is a one-off, a sizable group of Catholic nuns, priests and lay leaders have announced plans to do the same thing — offer communion to detainees in the Broadview ICE facility — tomorrow.

Not the America we should be living in.

Heeey! Yes, this is out. I made the cover! Finally some new art to share.

Heart scenario design is tricky but fun; you need to keep things absurd but grounded, tragic but wonderful, daft but disgusting. To that end I have written a world-ending adventure which focuses around one (1) bee

Kagan’s short dissent is unanswerable.

Vaccine mandates are bad because it's a matter of personal choice, but a woman's pregnancy is the government's business. Race as one factor in a college admission is bad because it's affirmative action, but race as one factor in ICE raids is acceptable. WHAT THE ACTUAL F*CK?

Here’s another in DC.

Reposting this because these protests are going on all over the country all of the time but, since you don’t see it in media, you might think nothing is happening.

Star Trek celebrates Labor Day

Happy Labor Day! This holiday was established in 1894 to honor and recognize the American labor movement and the contributions of working people. Celebrate with us with some thematic reading, pictured below.

People of Connecticut and regions nearby. Come on out on September 16! Free and open to the public.

This is very exciting! I’ve been impressed with his work, especially Harlem Unbound.

Cost of Trump's D.C. Occupation: $1.1M per day. Cost to operate public housing for D.C.'s entire homeless population: $169,226 per day. It's not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

I spent this summer reading a lot more than I’ve done in some years, and I remember how much I’ve missed it. I recommend Convergence Problems by Wole Talabi!

the crisis in which the University of Chicago is now engulfed -- one entirely of its own making, and which has led to the (hopefully temporary) suspension of admissions into numerous PhD programs in the humanities -- represents I think a seismic event in the history of American higher education 1/
