Pick an institution, cause, or something important to you, and defend it. It is easy to get overwhelmed and paralyzed by (in)action. Find just one thing you are most passionate about and do it, big or small. We must vow to uplift one another. Otherwise, progress blows away like sand in a storm.

Even creepier given that this was written by a 63-year-old dude

libertarians not beating the "my girlfriend shouldn't have to sit in a car seat" allegations

And if you are consistently focused on one or two areas then you can safely ignore all of the people doing NOTHING who are constantly yelling "someone needs to do something" [that I am personally not doing myself].

An arrest of a person due entirely to the person having dark skin color is now known across the country as a "Kavanaugh stop," based on Justice Kavanaugh's justification of the practice. slate.com/news-and-pol...

It’s impossible for me to explain how Duke he is.

is "they don't care" too simplistic an answer?

BIG difference between saying most thoughts that run through your head out loud vs. having "no filter". the difference being DISCERNMENT, ability to read the room, context clues, understanding of the environment, and innerstanding your inherent biases. sadly, many folks fall short of the difference.

general strike now? pls, for funsies 😊

👀 @ericswalwell.bsky.social bringing it 👇🏽

ER doc here! This is a lie. Wait times are up because the American healthcare system is an unsustainable business model and a for-profit national healthcare system just doesn’t work. These problems will continue to get worse until we change that system. It literally has nothing to do with immigrants

Breaking: The Italian General Confederation of Labour, Italy's largest union with over 5 million members, is calling for a general strike in support of the Global Sumud Flotilla. Italian government vessels, along with Spanish ones, have abandoned the GSF www.instagram.com/p/DPRv1o6iDq7/

there it is ... for the last few months I feel like this app has taken a weird backslide in leadership, at first it was small political jabs here and there, and gut feelings. then it was the blatant AI/ML push that seemed unnecessary. but eventually, all tech CEOs out themselves for who they are.

🎯 @repdean.bsky.social is right, and @SpeakerJohnson knows it. What is it called when everyone in a group is too afraid to criticize the leader for something they know is objectively wrong?

Trump, upon hearing the John Henry folklore, hasn't been able to let it go for 70 years.

figuring out a rule to block all the bsky ai agents

Couple of years ago I tried to implement workflow in Teams for approvals. It really could not have been more simple (or so I thought). I had to explain to devops (throwing DEV and OPs in generously) what PowerAutomate was, how to switch it on in Teams (it was a toggle) and how to create rules.

i don't understand conservative toughness, which involves being scared shitless of everything but also talking about how tough you are

wonder what the folks who still think the Dems will save democracy will say when the last few of the 'opposition' origami folds fully right-center to pass a budget (join their ideological counterparts). the friends made across the aisle were the votes we lost along the way.

everything is totally and colossally fucked right now, but tomorrow I'm going to one of my favorite museums in the city, the anacostia community museum, to harvest botanicals for limpieza kits for a project. don't forget to practice radical self care in these insane times y'all 💗

Y'all wanna play with that AI at your own peril

Good lord

US farmers are saying they "just need temporary help, until things get better." Here's the thing. US farm exports- which are mostly soy- CANNOT get better. Other countries expanded their soy industries to fill China's demand. We've walled ourselves out of the global market, folks. This is it.

A STRAIGHT LINE - some of the players are STILL THE SAME. Remember Dinesh D'Souza's Illiberal Education? www.goodreads.com/book/show/25... - published in 1991. I read it in college. D'Souza walked so Chris Rufo could run and there are millions of people who have no clue. The arguments ARE THE SAME.

trumprx news on the heels of a shutdown likely means massive RIFs will come out in the next few weeks, and voila suddenly an influx of medicaid recipients who need lower cost prescription drugs bc state funding was stripped months ago. the grift that keeps on grifting.

If any other president in all of history said the military should use American cities as a training ground he would be removed from office that same day. The hardest thing to tolerate in all this is how relatively silent elected democrats are. It’s ridiculous.

I would never count on a member of the us military to 'do the right thing' even on the basis of kayfabe, however

if i were a would-be dictator whose only civilian check on power had been consumed by total-complete partisan loyalty, something i would definitely do is call an unprecedented in-person meeting of the only people who could stop me and then proceed to illustrate why they should stop me

Have you read my latest investigation into gender-based violence in the H-2A agricultural visa program? You can here, or at @prismreports.org:

sooooo the subtext of bringing these generals together was to wage war on US citizens ... got it

"Please clap."

After being shown all year how awful and cringe the right is with AI propaganda and videos, I can't understand why some of you assholes are still making them. Learn to make art for Christ's sake.

never. we must do it ourselves

It’s really funny that Hegseth’s little GI Joe fantasy league speech was met with… silence.

thinking about a professor I had, maybe the kindest and most easygoing person I’ve ever met, coming back from a faculty lunch with john roberts and sighing “christ what an asshole”

It's almost like it was never really about the immigrants perse but simply a gateway...... Modern day slave patrol 🚓

Talisman said he has flagged this Hyattsville, MD ICE incident to his representatives, including Democratic senators Chris Van Hollen and Angela Alsobrooks, as well as the Democratic Rep. Glenn Ivey. www.thedailybeast.com/ice-arrest-g...

Since Lindsey Halligan personally indicted Comey she should personally try the case and not hand it off to someone else. She can show us how competent and qualified she is for this job in front of a jury.

Ok need to lighten the mood. Here's a peek of today's apple cider donut. The first of many to be consumed this autumn 🍂 🍂

I think this is clearly less about "going after Comey" and more about continuing to push and see what the admin can get away with legally. It also opens the door to grab docs and other evidence presented for discovery. The admin is combing for something else...

Legacy pony keg and ice bros are going to loooossseeeee it 😭😭

I would have decked this bitch. We don't shame these people enough. And yet they are foaming at the mouth to create a toxic environment. Are folks actually ready to stop being so tolerant to these malignant assholes?
