A Coworker of mine died over the weekend. It was aggressive cancer, she’d been out for weeks. I didn’t know about it, we hadn’t talked since March. I’m still reeling from the news. She’d been “In the Trenches” with me under an abusive boss years ago. She left behind a young daughter.

-A living wage -Guaranteed healthcare -The right to join a union -The right to vote -The right to choose when, how, and with whom you start a family -The right for you and your family to live free from gun violence These are the foundations of real freedom.

I hate this so much. I want AI out of my life and tools. Please, people, learn critical thinking skills because AI IS WRONG ALL THE TIME AND ONLY LEARNING THINGS WILL SAVE YOU.

AHHHHHH ORDERED VOLUME 2

Open enrollment for ACA plans began yesterday in Idaho. One couple got notice that their monthly premium next year would jump from $51 to $2,232 as subsidies expire. 25,000 Idahoans are expected to be priced out of coverage. This is what's at stake in Trump's shutdown.

Don’t make me tap the sign.

I want to learn how to mod now to make the following: 1. A Mod that makes her beauty mark move every time you cut away and back. 2. A mod that makes her beauty mark bigger each time you see her. 3. A mod where her beauty mark is the regular size in the regular place, but strobe rainbow colors.

I always feel so lucky to be able to see and interact with so many beautiful women 🥺 (And if you think this doesn't pertain to you, beautiful woman that somehow thinks it doesn't, it absolutely does! It especially pertains to you!)

you fucked around and now the Episcopalians are doing memes. are you happy now. are you

Everything is for sale.

Warming waters cause corals to “bleach” when these organisms expel symbiotic algae that provide nutrients, oxygen & vibrant colors. The latest global bleaching event - researchers estimate >84% of the planet's coral ecosystems have been affected since Jan 2023 - has made it clear the crisis is now.

“i’m on top of the world” yeah it’s called living on the surface, why do you think we fought those wars against the mole people

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. 🧵

We should be asking this c o n s t a n t l y.

This is why I don’t trust any AI answer. Too many errors I can spot in things I know about—therefore everything it says is under suspicion.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion. Read that back. When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

The future of the Democratic Party must be rooted in investing in the American people — not Wall St., corporations, and consultants. Otherwise, Trumpism will continue to use cynicism, racism, and distrust to divide America.

This is what EVERY reporter should be doing. Either answer the question or get cut off. Don’t platform fascist talking points. Honestly, politicians on BOTH sides of the aisle should be treated like this. Ask the Dems why we haven’t banned stock trades, or pushed more aggressive reform, etc.

Crazy how with these people it's always AI that's "here to stay like it or not" and never like gender affirming medical procedures or something

Detroit City and the Tigers do not want Kid Rock. Fuck that guy and take that Tigers jacket from him too. Send him to Texas or something. #tigers #DetroitvsEverybody

after millions of views and shares of my Portland Frog art. (thank you all🙏🏾) I got requests to highlight priests, and chickens, and Chicagoans, and T-Rexes, and more… all of us who refuse to bend the knee. so this is for US. 𝚂𝚝𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚃𝚊𝚕𝚕. 𝚆𝚎 𝚆𝚒𝚕𝚕 𝚆𝚒𝚗.

I'm just saying, we could settle this with swords, instead of 30+ emails. 🤺 #artWIP

All I could hear in my head upon reading this was “GET READY FOR A GAAAAAAAME CHANGER!”

This shutdown is utterly unique in US political history in that it essentially stems entirely from the House majority's total inability to do anything but run in circles trying to satisfy the whims of an unstable, incompetent, self-obsessed president. It doesn't obey normal political rules.

DOLLY IS OK AND THAT IS ALL THAT MATTERS RIGHT NOW.

Gavin Newsom wasting no time in proving everyone right in not entertaining him as a hypothetical candidate for even a second. Obviously he's a piece of shit and can't even hide it.

This would single-handedly transform the lives of everyone I know in such profound ways it is difficult to fully articulate, but it would also let us actually make more and different and crazy things

ICE needs to be abolished and its members prosecuted “Just following orders,” doesn’t absolve them of their cruelty and crimes.

LOL YUP. Except it wasn't 10 grand! It was over twice that! I'd call it "pastoral cosplay," but that's an insult to cosplayers, because cosplayers don't actually try to convince everyone they're the real deal.

Support independent/single studios, not conglomorate monopolies

In my life-time, I've watched the "American Dream" that my grandparents had, of a 2-parent family in a house they own in a robust community with decent schools and engaging civic life, with one good-paying job one spouse can retire from at 65, become an absolute castle-in-the-sky for most people.

If Democrats like @schumer.senate.gov & @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social have any spines they will shut down the government today. They should demand tariffs immediately end, reverse tax cuts for the rich, reinstate programs that protect consumers from fraud, and release of the Epstein files.

I am on the side of Democracy. What I want people to have? Unions & fair wages Protection against fraud & fiscal abuse Affordable food Free healthcare—and that everyone gets the care they need, abortions and trans healthcare included Free higher education UBI Safe & affordable housing

The battle of our day is no longer about Democrats versus Republicans or left versus right. The choice right now is democracy or dictatorship. And we're sliding faster than I ever thought possible into the latter. Everyone must choose which side they’re on.

Frankly, ICE being dissolved should become the most conservative position allowed in democratic politics.

Hey union voice actors! Remember when I got up to the mic at the strike meeting and said y'all were conceding ground to companies that had lost their prestige ages ago, and that at least 2 of them wouldn't exist when the next round of negotiations took place? Wasn't that funny? What a crazy woman!

Nobody in the world, nobody in history, has ever gotten their freedom by appealing to the moral sense of the people who were oppressing them. - Assata Shakur Pic of the day #photography

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1 Trickle-down economics was always a sham. Nothing has ever trickled down.

1/ A longtime Wired editor just wrote a mush-brained essay about how he totally missed the political rot of Silicon Valley (& still doesn't get it). But in the late 1990s, a Wired journalist warned of a toxic ideology bubbling up from tech. Paulina Borsook has largely been erased. Let's change that

Read the whole thread. Trans rights are human rights!

this poem is astonishing and I am so grateful to Eileen for bringing it to our attention last year & again this year.

ABOLISH ICE.
