Yikes. Disappointing.

I recently tried to order running stuff from Amazon --then realized I could get it from the manufacturers for the same prices *with* free shipping. Amazon has captured buyers and sellers -- and this is what happens. Shop @pilsencommbooks.bsky.social instead, imo! bsky.app/profile/barn...

Hmm seems like a bad idea to give this technology to people who are famously statistically very likely to be domestic abusers!!

I mean, they figured out how to control the payment systems and interfere with other vital functions, that’s the hard part. bsky.app/profile/wire...

So I think a lot of the fascist anti-trans stuff is legitimately hateful and antagonistic, but it's also a wedge they use to open up an attack on *all* science that isn't in service to power. This is why "liberal" assholes like Jesse Singal are, at best, complete dupes. bsky.app/profile/kiss...

SPPD supporting ICE raid on the East Side of St Paul today. @mayorcarter.bsky.social, this is NOT what we want.

Reminder: The use of tear gas as a method of warfare is prohibited under the 1993 Chemical Weapons Convention

This is pretty clearly St. Paul police collaborating with ICE, no? Fucking disgusting. bsky.app/profile/viam...

Friendly reminder that striking workers are asking you not to patronize ANY Starbucks store. If you're traveling this week, your airport definitely has other options. Zero reason to even think about crossing a picket line!

This is a great idea -- price fixing by algorithm is still price fixing but with plausible deniability. We should not let landlords collude to raise rents, especially in the midst of a nationwide housing crisis.

If anyone has time to talk with me about their ACA increases and how they're coping, please shoot an email to [email protected] or text on Signal at wwimbish.07. It's OK if you want to only use your first name or prefer to be anonymous!

I originally took bubropion for ADHD, which didn't really work, but a nice side effect is that I haven't had a cigarette in years. Just FYI!

We should not be telling people on FoodShare/SNAP what they can or can't buy for their families. Especially not now, as the Trump Administration is threatening to claw back November's benefits, out of spite. This bill is badly written, mean, and terrible policy. www.wpr.org/news/assembl... (1/2)

Chicago Trib on teenage anti-ICE activists: "If I get the opportunity to fight like this for the rest of my life, I would be totally OK with that." The future of our country depends, in part, upon whether the Democratic Party does or does not have space for young people like that. archive.ph/qsazc

Lots of dumb stuff going through the Crapitol this week but a bill punishing people on FoodShare/SNAP that's endorsed by *chiropractors* and *naturopathic doctors* (neither of which are medical doctors) is specifically really fucking annoying *to me*. www.wpr.org/news/assembl...

Oh, well, no big deal then ha ha

Even worse: charter schools and voucher schools (in Wisconsin, at least!) can pick and choose which students they accept, even expelling kids with special needs. That puts the cost back on public schools -- who are only reimbursed around 42.5% of the cost. It's a failed, unaccountable system.

This was very obviously inevitable, fro the jump. But Republicans don’t care about safety, they care about stoking fear and maintaining order, with them in charge. That only sometimes has anything to do with “fighting crime.” bsky.app/profile/dell...

Sorry but if you think law enforcement isn’t mostly giddy to collaborate with ICE, you’re a mark. So long as there are cops, and they are well-funded at the expense of actual services, this is what they will do. Defund the police is the moderate position. bsky.app/profile/free...

The piece on the shut down you didn't know you were waiting for

As I sold out of my original Nospurratu vampire kitty this year I decided to create another one, because no matter how hard you try, you can't keep Dracula down for long! www.blockforest.co.uk/products/nos...

State violence is still violence. It is, arguably, one of the most dangerous kinds. We cannot have a free society if the government can detain, demean, and deport people at its whim. Full stop.

The Charlie Kirk Resolution currently debated in the #wiass is Senate Bill 88. 88 is a very famous code for “Heil Hitler” among Wisconsin Nazis. Make of that what you will!

Woke lanyard alert! #freepalestine

"cancel culture" was an overblown thing where some people got fired for sexually harassing their employees and others got yelled at on Twitter. The conservative version, which some claim as an inevitable counterbalance, is doxxing & death threats for making fun of self-proclaimed white supremacists.

Yesterday, @omarfatehmn.com campaign office was vandalized in an Islamophobic attack. We condemn this threat in the strongest possible terms. In this moment, it is crucial that we stand with everyone who makes Minneapolis home and build a city where we lift up everyone.

mRNA is amazing

Women’s March is proud to back @sbworkersunited.org baristas’ demands for a fair union contract. And if they’re forced to go on strike, we won’t cross the picket line and we’ll get our coffee elsewhere!
