The key connection for today is that Roosevelt was watching fascism arise in Germany and Italy in 1933, and he DESIGNED THE NEW DEAL TO STOP THAT in the US. The works programs were as much about helping democracy as anything.

WTH

this is so good. i am now deceased. 💀

It's true, all of it. You know what WILL spike the cost of food? Disappearing all of our farm workers. And let me be clear, people should care about their neighbors disappearing regardless. But if being selfish assholes will ultimately result in people protecting said neighbors, then so be it.

It doesn't matter if they are ever coming for you. It was always ever already too much that they were coming for anyone.

Ok, I know this is not the same as the Argentinian factories getting taken over by striking workers and continuing to operate after the bosses shut them down, but ... what if it could be similar?

No Kings!

have you seen the top tier reward for my Kickstarter campaign? A cool, acid-etched glass tumbler with a bamboo lid and metal straw. There's also a slate coaster with a matching acid-etching on it. All Original Art. NO AI bit.ly/KickstartNB

Do corporations know that dead people don’t buy stuff?

2. These are not companies that supported the bill by donating to the politicians that voted for it (although most did that too). These are companies that endorsed the bill publicly and were featured on a White House webpage. People should know the companies that made this choice.

1. Trump's megabill will slash nutrition assistance for poor families, cause 17 million people to lose their health insurance, and add over $3 trillion to the deficit -- all to finance tax cuts for the rich. IN THIS THREAD, I WILL LIST THE COMPANIES THAT PUBLICLY SUPPORTED THIS BILL.

There’s something SERIOUSLY WRONG with a political system like this.

If you're into fragrances, as I am, go to real perfumers. Some of my favs: AbdesSalaam Attar: Self-taught Sufi perfumer who only uses natural ingredients. Many of his perfumes feel like you're walking through a Middle Eastern bazaar. Milano Caffe, Cuoio dei Dolci, and Tabac are worth a sniff.

I know there's a lot going on but holy shit our constitutional crisis was in plain view today folks. SCOTUS ordered Trump admin -- 9-0! -- to facilitate bringing Abrego Garcia back to the U.S. Noem today, repeatedly: "There is no scenario where Abrego Garcia will be in the United States again."

From Teen Vogue: How Trans Kids Can Protect Themselves Now That Trump Is in Office. “Despite what can seem like a deluge of anti-trans bills, policies, and language, there are a lot of people on your side, fighting for trans rights.” [teenvogue.com]

Hey, folks www.gofundme.com/f/help-save-... This is a family member and friend of mine. She's lost vision in her right eye & doctors are struggling to save the vision in her left. She's unable to work and they could really use some support. Any help at all would be appreciated. Even $5 adds up.

This will effect schools like IU, UK, UL and the list goes on.

Still wondering...

This is written by the bishop who stood up to Orange Voldemort. Everyone should be buying this. It's available on Amazon for $14. I'm an atheist and I'm buying it. #booksky

Hey, the book is How We Learn to be Brave by Mariann Edgar Budde and buy where you can if interested or see if your library can get it! Appreciation to the OP for telling folks to look for it.

Never imagined I’d have to say this, but if you want to have a look at NIH RePORTER to see how much NIH funding your state receives so you can write to your elected representatives, you’d better do it now, and get a screenshot.

NEW: A Jan. 6 defendant who threw an explosive into a Capitol tunnel packed with cops — freed this week by President Trump — has been re-arrested on a felony gun charge that has been pending since 2023. www.politico.com/news/2025/01...

Hello! 你好 LOL...I dunno where all of you are coming from since I haven't been posting much. I'm hanging out a LOT on xiaohungshu (aka Red Note) which is sort of like TikTok, sort of like Instagram & all kinds of awesome & I love it. Even trying to learn basic Mandarin on @duolingoverde.bsky.social

I just published Rubio Dossier, the Trump campaign's vetting materials from when it was considering him for VP. Marco Rubio is now reportedly being tapped for Secretary of State.

CT allows towing companies to sell some people’s cars after just 15 days — one of the shortest windows in the country. The sales have particularly affected low-income people, who have lost jobs after they were unable to get their cars back. With @propublica.org: ctmirror.org/2025/01/05/c...

... well. I didn't see this coming. A gay man in Utah went undercover ON HIS OWN in a far right militia group FOR TWO YEARS on @propublica.org 😲 www.propublica.org/article/ap3-...

Oh, this brings me back! Do you remember where you were when the “conservative” Bush administration did away with habeas corpus?

This is a terrific idea - if you have any old resources you’re not using anymore, for just about any level of player, I would think (beginner to expert) . Consider juvenile facilities, too👇👇👇

😵‍💫

Yep, just a few weeks ago, I was at my local library and there were classes on orgies. Oh. Wait. No. Origami. NOT orgies. ORIGAMI. And the BOOKS on orgies were actually about OGRES. Maybe the fox news folks just aren't reading well?

Book bans aren't about books, it's about defunding public institutions of learning ✌🏽

Lord I am seeing what you have done for others

A good read. archive.ph/hVYrf
