Didn't win Mega Millions. Guess I have to go to work in the morning. Oh well. 😮‍💨

Remember when we described them as a death cult?

This Day in Labor History: May 30, 1937. Chicago police opened fire on strikers in front of the Republic Steel mill, killing 10 workers. This was Little Steel's successful attempt to resist unionization. In response to the last major violence against American unions, FDR did nothing! Let's talk!

YOOOOO! I am here for this. I'd probably go see it for a third time, too. #Sinners #SinnersMovie

#Sinners is a perfect movie. Ryan Coogler deserves all the mf'n awards.

Happy May Day!

Wanted to try this #Passover dish that was printed in the local Jewish paper. Might be a little late, but it turned out well! Our variation of klops uses Impossible ground beef, onions, 3 hard-boiled eggs, and matzo meal. Leftover matzah on the side.

Watching Pharaoh's heart harden on national TV during Passover.

Listen, I just finished #G20, and it was amazing. Run, don't walk, run to stream this movie. We all recognize that Viola Davis is a badass, especially after The Woman King, and this movie takes it to the NEXT level!

We just got word from the committee. Jana has had her dissertation accepted and been awarded her Ph.D. from RIC-URI Co-Doctoral Program in Education! 🎉🎉🎉

Jack Black is hosting #SNL this weekend, and I hope he does a Chad Gaya skit. youtu.be/M7_2WtzqvzM?...

“Attempts to legislate the erasure of a nation’s past are characteristics of fascist regimes…leaders appeal to history to replace the actual historical record with a glorious mythic replacement that…can serve their political ends and their ultimate goal of replacing facts with power.” —Jason Stanley

These leopards are going to be obese.

This Day in Labor History: March 22, 1914. Mary “Mother” Jones was arrested on a train in southern Colorado for her work in fighting for the coal miners on strike that area. Let's talk about this brave woman and her fight for justice for Colorado miners!!!

In honor of #MarchMadness, let's talk about how all 8 men's teams playing in Providence this week are threatened by the Musk/Trump Admin. If you love college sports, you're going to have to stand up for colleges!!!!

The Trump administration cut a clause from federal contracting rules that had been on the books since the 1960s: Companies are no longer explicitly prohibited from having segregated facilities

Your regular reminder— To you, about yourself & to you, about other people That “being smart” & “having information” are not the same thing. Lots & lots of very intelligent people don’t have information about things. (Also some struggle to speak English. & some have obvious disabilities. And…)

This week is so LONG! How is it ONLY Tuesday?!

These numbers are complete lies but the underlying argument — that Democrats are paying illegal immigrants to come here and become voters — is 100% Great Replacement Theory. He’s spouting the exact same racist conspiracy that inspired mass shootings in Pittsburgh and Buffalo.

Rewatching Ken Burns’s The US and the Holocaust, because, if y’all need a step-by-step warning…

The office just upgraded to the bougie Purell hand sanitizer stations. Nothing has confirmed my belief that another pandemic is on the way more than this.

@peterfneronha.bsky.social after Judge McConnell grants preliminary injunction against President Trump’s freeze on appropriated money to states: “We don’t have kings in this country, and today’s preliminary injunction reaffirms that”

If it walks like a Nazi, talks like a Nazi, and salutes like a Nazi… Keep the online pressure up, friends. And boycott Tesla. Find out more about local protests at teslatakedown.com

We're watching #TheOscars on our newly made Koala couch.

Mr. Hegseth has previously said that General Brown should be fired because of his “woke” focus on diversity, equity and inclusion programs in the military. Replaces a Black four-star fighter pilot with a white man who does not meet the statutory qualifications supposedly over DEI.

Patinkin’s response is typical mush. He’s the victim. And yes, as he writes, I did call him out for “journalistic malpractice” because he didn’t do his homework. All he can say in response is “Yikes.” And NOW he reaches out to a trans person? Shoot first, aim later, I guess.

What if I told y’all that race is, in fact, not an immutable characteristic? It is a construct created to parce power, opportunity and economic advantage. A person racialized as Black might be 10% African or 100%, but regardless of genetics, they share a common history of exclusion.

This is an appreciation post for @yitz.io, @rabbisandra.bsky.social, and Illana Kaufman. Thank you all for being great leaders in the Jewish community.

What was such a perfect casting for character in a movie? For me, it was Tim Curry as Long John Silver in Muppet Treasure Island.

Going to the market on a Saturday before a snowstorm and the Superbowl may not have been the smartest idea. 🤷‍♂️

Remember. It’s never: We fight for (these people) because maybe we’re more at risk if we don’t. No more Niemölling. We fight because they are coming for anyone. Every single person matters. Each and every human being’s life and safety is worth the fight.

Roger Williams is also famous for promoting the separation of Church & State, but I guess ChatGPT missed that for the president's speech.

Alright, despite all my earlier complaints, ESPN+ is pretty darn awesome for college basketball - both men's and women's. 🏀

Your periodic reminder that bike lanes provide safe space for people using all kinds of mobility devices, not just bikes, especially motorized wheelchairs and scooters, especially in the winter when sidewalks are a mess.

I absolutely hate this. The pols are gonna pat themselves on the back in front of the media BEFORE anybody moves in after being a YEAR late with people dying out in the cold. Ffs.

NEW: The Jewish leaders who led the early X ad boycott under Musk released a new letter. We call on: 1. Companies to pull ads from X 2. Google/Apple to drop X from stores 3. People with 100k+ followers to leave X 4. Jewish orgs to speak up 5. Major shareholders to pressure Musk

It is pretty darn awesome that the RI Department of State can produce and publish a virtual exhibit for Black History Month from the RI State Archives. I would love to see more of this type of historical work for Rhode Island.
