Yup. Your job as regular person is not to parse whether particular policies are 'realistic' or 'possible.' You are supposed to actually demand what you need to live a dignified life.

I'm noticing a strange 'wait and see' vibe over the past couple of months and I think that the upcoming midterms are in part responsible. We need people to be engaged in local community and political work more than ever. This is not a time to have feet of clay.

Once Biden gave Corpo America the okay to stop caring it was over. People act like it ended when it is still going on. Then you add on RFK Jr musty leadership we got old stuff returning. Covid also showed if we have to deal with something even worse at that scale we are cooked as a society.

The data center proposal for Ferguson failed tonight 🥳

This is how you get people talking about how Black people who are FIRST-GENERATION college educated are "the elites" and not "in touch" with the "working class" LMAO.

I want to add that class in the U.S. is only legible among white people. Black people have been the MOST working class segment of U.S. society for decades AND YET... Black people are consistently written out of the narrative of "working class" USians.

I like what Thee Mayor posted. A focus on garment workers. A good post. A much better, much more thorough response than folks’ superficial and repetitive annual Met Gala comparison to Hunger Games as a way to disappear workers & throw shade at art…while never doing that towards sports, for example.

While the world’s eyes are on fashion’s biggest night, we’re turning ours to the garment, retail, and warehouse workers who keep the industry running. From true love found on the picket line to a free tailoring school out of a Brooklyn basement — meet the New Yorkers who make it all possible.

Janelle Monáe just gets it.

This is one of the most quietly revolutionary things any city can do to improve kids' lives & outcomes. If you genuinely care about kids having access to education or safe after school spaces & activities, then fund your libraries, staff your libraries, & make every public school ID a library card.

Chinese researchers have created a bamboo-based plastic as strong as petroleum-based plastics, which can fully biodegrade in soil in just 2 months phys.org/news/2025-10...

What do you mean this is their “biggest fear,” the VCs are slavering for it!

Apparently, journals, universities and publishers cannot do it but the Oscars can

Thanks to @blockclubchi.bsky.social for sharing my @injusticewatch.org & @boltsmag.org story on Cook Co. State's Attorney Eileen O'Neill Burke fighting nearly every exonerated person seeking a certificate of innocence. Those come with state compensation and can help people get jobs and housing.

SCOOP: A pro-AI dark money group backed by a powerful super PAC funded by execs tied to Palantir and OpenAI, has been secretly paying influencers to push pro-AI, anti-China propaganda on TikTok and IG.

This ruling could also affect remote prescriptions for miscarriage care because mifepristone is used off label for that purpose. If you’re just hearing about this case, we’ve been tracking it in the @autonomynews.co roundup that goes out on Mondays www.autonomynews.co/pennsylvania...

This is a ruling purporting to halt telehealth prescriptions of mifepristone NATIONWIDE. Louisiana asked the Fifth Circuit for a decision by Monday, May 11. That they dropped it on a Friday afternoon feels intentional to keep it in effect for longer. Expect emergency appeal to SCOTUS shadow docket

These are so good. ❤️

"Masking? In 2026?" Yes? Why is masking such a fucking foreign concept to people. Calling maskers "covid truthers" yes - covid is not fake?? Holy shit lmao I get vax'd every 6 months. I wear a mask to protect my immunocompromised self from sickness, from people like YOU who take NO precautions.

Happy May Day to workers in fields, mines, sweatshops, kitchens, delivery bikes, factories, homes, on the street & beyond. To freedom fighters, caregivers & the ancestors who make our work possible. May we work for freedom, for a world with no rulers, no kings, where all labor & lives are valued.

After Mariela's daughter was detained, she reached out to what she thought was a Catholic Charities Facebook page, only to lose $18,000 in a scam involving a fake priest, a fake judge and another man impersonating an immigration lawyer.

They did it! ❤️ #booksky #blacksky #blackbooksky www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news...

We won! Hundreds of thousands of people who are currently detained and separated from their families in lower-level cases will be released from jail every year. An incredible victory for liberty and public safety. You can read the historic decision here: civilrightscorps.org/wp-content/u...

Y’all, this is a friend of a friend’s son. He’s been missing since Tuesday afternoon, last seen near Howard. Please amplify if you can. Thanks.

WaPo reports Louisiana’s governor will announce on Friday that he is suspending the House primaries where people have already started voting and redraw the map; I’d expect them to go for an all-Republican map and eliminate both majority-Black districts, not just one.

What's in EXCESS of the 1965 Voting Rights Act? THAT has to be the demand. People think too small.

Just saw an AI summary overview of a recipe creator’s post on TikTok. It provided a recipe for food in the video that was *not* the creator’s actual recipe. People are absolutely going to be misled by those and will think it’s the creator’s fault. Nobody asked for this. 🤦🏾‍♀️

This is the result of decades of organizing in the conservative legal community that’s been allowed to flourish in plain sight as anything but a committed ideological movement.

“We need to tone down political rhetoric.”

His Tesla factories also got sued for being very racist because racism was a part of his business plan from jump.

One thing I will say about being a public political commentator for the last ten years is that it has given me a total disgust for many big name figures in media, regardless of party affiliation. Last night is just the latest example. I don’t see this changing any time soon.

*staring into the camera with the light behind my eyes entirely extinguished*

A barbaric country that is one of the few countries in the world that still has the death penalty. An outlier in its profound cruelty. Humane people would rebel.

Can Maine just reboot and start over?

We have a healthcare system that prioritizes profit over people's lives. It's past time to pass Medicare for All so people aren't going bankrupt for basic care.

Revoking kids' visas because their parents criticized Elon Musk.

Imagine reducing the need for knee replacements by 62%! A groundbreaking injection could rejuvenate your cartilage using your own cells. What if aging joints could be treated without surgery? This research might just change everything. 🦵✨

Four female patients complained to the state’s medical commission about OG-GYN Dr. Mark Mulholland from 2022 through 2024. Because the board waited until September 2025 to restrict Mulholland’s license, he kept practicing — and seeing more patients who would later file complaints.

Anthropic’s Claude Is Pumping Out Vulnerable Code, Cyber Experts Warn

Behind every social media wave with bad results for artists and cultural workers lies a yt guy tech titan who never made art that taught anyone or emotionally moved anyone in their lives.

The strategy should always be about seizing levers of power away from them.

Fascists cant be shamed. They arent committed to rules & institutions. When they overturn them there is no cognitive dissonance. A political strategy aimed at calling them out wont stop them, because the problem is not that they're inconsistent.

Will Trent just had to break my heart. 💔

A big chunk of people jumped into full-fledged reactionary politics because this was their preferred approach to COVID, and they were denied the opportunity to inflict it upon people poorer than them.

You're looking at velvet malachite, Cu2CO3(OH)2. A few warnings: Please resist the urge to touch it to feel how soft it is. Absolutely /do not/ lick it. Keep far away from any Supermen. If a wingéd creature emerges, do not agree to any pacts. Let's talk about the science here.

Defendants who accept plea deals that waive their Fourth Amendment rights can lose their legal recourse for warrantless police searches for years. As of 2020, 96 percent of people living under these waivers in Richmond, Virginia were people of color.
