This two-parter below is exactly why it's hard to make clothes in the United States. Let's look at how much it costs to produce a button-up shirt in the US. 🧵

BREAKING: Sens. DURBIN, DUCKWORTH were just denied entrance to the Broadview ICE Facility in Illinois, unable to conduct constitutional role of oversight.

Jenny Nicholson tweet continues to not miss

Salvation Army seen feeding ICE today. For anyone who doesn't already know about their bigotry, here is more, No need to give them your money this Christmas, or ever.

“I’m worried about my community… I’m out here in a frog costume to show how ridiculous the notion that we’re violent terrorists is, and showcase how that narrative is wrong…” Serious Q: is it too late to give this dude the Nobel Peace Prize? 🐸 🏆

“Christians United for Israel, the evangelical Zionist group founded by Texas pastor John Hagee, claims 10 million members, more than the entire population of 7.5 million Jews in the United States.” I wish more people knew this. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Can you see I’ve been liking green lately

"get into the indie web to break ur social media addiction" is all good and well but I've just spent several hours hyper focused on updating my site and pulling all my books off my shelf and logging them and doing endless tweaks for hours. I'm in a daze. I enjoy it but idk if I can recommend now

Here's what they need right now: • A mattress for Najwa • Coats • Hoodies for the boys • Pants • Sweaters • Gloves • Scarves • Warm hats • Food, water, and medicine

I think whats gonna be the only diff between then and now is that *then* the dot com bubble bursting took out folks connected to it but this time the AI bubble bursting is gonna take out darn near everything all b/c ppl are putting their fingers in their ears and going lalalala all for a quick hit.

Seeing Ms. Rachel say exactly what needs to be said to Obama is so damn refreshing

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

I think what's impressive about TRON is that, visually, it's still so much more interesting than any of it's sequels. It's crazy that they tried update this digital world by making it as 'realistically rendered' as possible. It's a complete misunderstanding of the original's charm.

this is why the sequel didnt work for me and that third one ill be skipping entirely the original tron is so goddamned stylish and they updated its aesthetics to look like an apple store

This has been one of the most well-received newsletters I've put out in quite a while. Thanks so much for the shares and recommendations people have added in the comments 💜 If you have any other films you'd like to add, feel free to drop them in the comments on the post or at my newsletter

Before Trump began dismantling USAID, polling showed that the average American voter thought that ~25% of our federal budget went to foreign aid. But that figure was only 1%—and our foreign aid contributions represented a much smaller share of our Gross National Income than other wealthy countries.

🧵: The world’s extremely poor are also often extremely remote, with limited access to healthcare & health education. In many developing countries, the government—often with the help of the UN and, until this year, USAID—maintains health posts that bring these services to people living off the grid.

LittleSis have dropped a new report and data visualization about the billionaires and corporations profiting from the deportation industrial complex: littlesis.org/news/the-bil...

Hello everyone! My new shop drop is here, with new Snoop of Finland stickers, patches and pins, along with new sticker sheets and risograph prints. If you have been waiting on any of these, now is the time to grab one! Love you all! 🫶 sixgillsart.bigcartel.com

Buried in Michigan's antiporn bill is a provision to effectively outlaw "circumvention tools," such as VPNs. Mark my words: legislators will increasingly leverage porn panic to restrict or ban VPNs, and to limit internet privacy far beyond adult sites.

So I guess this is where I start looking into a VPN. Honestly this country is getting fucking ridiculous. Been a while since I've been annoyed about anything this much.

yohji yamamoto so real for this

Longshot request: does anyone have a transcript or notes from this 2016 talk by Prof. Takashi Fujitani at UTexas College of Liberal Arts? liberalarts.utexas.edu/eastasia/eve...

Reps. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., and Rob Wittman, R-Va., and Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, all voted for cuts to the CFPB. Yet collectively, they routed more than 1,000 constituent complaints to the agency, ProPublica found. (Published August) By @joeljacobs.bsky.social

this is practical advice about immediate steps to take if somebody you know has been taken by ICE. nothing is ever guaranteed, they'll try to get away with whatever they can, but you have to try whatever you can too

What the actual. For those not in the know, B&T is a MAJOR library supplier (my last library system got about half of its new collection there every single year). Summer reading books for kids? B&T. This is WILD.

Can Not WAIT

“I Hate My Life, I Hate My Friends, I Hate Myself”. This is the sales pitch for 99% of AI, and it all comes from the people who genuinely hate and despise this reality where no one thinks they’re “cool” for being on computer all day, so now the computer must show everyone how they can do a kickflip

with Portland there's the depressing addendum that 90% of why this is happening is the right wing media grifter ecosystem got badly addicted to viral Portland content during the Trump years and they've been fiending for another hit ever since

incrível

The John Carpenter movie Christine is on HBO Max. The print looks like it was scrubbed against a cheese shredder. But it's properly letterboxed, and there are no ads. Hallelujah.

New from @nushanchel.bsky.social, 'Self Preservation Instinct' follows a sheltered, city-raised vampire who, exiled from human society, is cast into the wilderness—where he encounters a lone werewolf -and begins to learn the true meaning of what it is to be a monster. Out now at SBCF!

someone in a podcast I listened to today said like "all the developers that worked on legendary games in the 90s would never be able to get into the industry today" and I think that might be entirely accurate
