Fun night at @luchalibrelaughs.bsky.social seeing @abadonx13.bsky.social @danhausen.bsky.social #shotziblackheart and #heidihowitzer #wrestling #denver #prowrestling

A lot of #soccer playing countries on this list. So we're NOT hosting the #WorldCup this year? www.reuters.com/world/us/us-... #futbol #football

I knew I should have downloaded The Anarchist's Cookbook in the early 2000s

It's adorable how many people on the correct side of issues still believe the #midterm #elections will be fair and effective, let alone actually allowed to happen. You all are so naive it's practically stupid.

If a company emails me after I unsubscribed they should have to pay me five dollars

“The first time I caught up to them, I could tell that they already knew who I was. They had seen me before, so they thought they were just going to speed away. I was like, ‘Ha ha, bitches, I got a new scooter!’"

Every CDC-er knows EVERY public post gets layers of review — annoying but protects scientific rigor. Until now. DOGE’s eager admin lapdogs — like the 20-something who literally lives at Roybal — are rewriting CDC sites w/ dangerous nonsense. No real CDCers approved it. But the public can’t tell.🫠

Welp

According to the Republican president, wanting child rapists to face justice means “betraying the Republican party.”

Assassins is such a good Sondheim show. More theaters should do it.

I think we get so used to using words like “marginalized” with the subtext “unjustly” that we need to periodically remind ourselves that some people and ideas are marginalized for excellent reasons, and have little value to add except possibly as object lessons in pathology.

Last night I saw #RideTheCyclone at Vintage Theatre and it is SO GOOD! You must get over there and see it before it sells out the rest of its run! This is a massive victory for first time director Jennifer Schmitz, the cast, the production team, EVERYONE at Vintage!

Remember, these forms are NOT toys. They are not jokes. If these forms are to be effective, they should under NO CIRCUMSTANCES be flooded with incorrect information, which would render them useless. So definitely do not do that. Do not do it one time, or a dozen times, or even hundreds of times.

How are these guys experts on manliness and strength while simultaneously being terrified of almost any topic you could possibly name.

Diversity initiatives were meant to overcome the old patterns of nepotism, so I guess it makes sense that the enemies of diversity are big fans of nepotism.

It's kind of impressive how perfectly Chuck Schumer is not meeting this moment. Like he brought in punch-up writers to heighten and refine how badly he's botching it.

CNN: A new poll gives us a sense of who Democrats and Democratic leaning voters think best aligns with the party's core values. And that's Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

Bit sick of watching pundits who’d rather eat glass than interview a leftist organizer complain about how the US has less centralized resistance to national authoritarianism than a country with one big city and a population of 9.5 million who all live in an area smaller than Michigan

"dei medal" you might as well just put "n*gger medal" because that's what they mean to say

1. What you see here is clearest illustration why things are so messed up and why it cannot get any better until this asymmetry is addressed. Put simply: the right-wing has narrative dominance. My org @mmfa.bsky.social did this study and has been sounding this alarm for years. Some thoughts...

I say " Don't trust a cook with an unstained apron."

The IATSE applauds the reintroduction of the Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act, landmark legislation that would strengthen working people’s rights to come together and negotiate collectively as a union. iatse.net/iatse-applau...

the washington generals may have lost the game, but at least they played clean, honorable basketball all the way to the end

The bit about cutting out small dollar donors should be enough for anyone to question the rest of this.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

Hey everyone -- Moms of Liberty and Dept of Education launched a snitch line portal today to rat out teachers and anyone promoting anything DEI. FLOOD THE PORTAL Spam the hell out of it. Pass it on! It works! enddei.ed.gov

We must be clear-eyed about the threats we're facing — and stand up for democracy.

💥ATTENTION FEDS💥 All the termination letters going out that we've seen use "inadequate performance" as the reason for termination. SAVE YOUR PERFORMANCE EVALUATIONS. Tell your friends who aren't on bluesky! Probationary employees can't be fired for "poor performance" if their performance is not poor

Yep. And that's when the brain drain happens, as the intelligent researchers move to countries that fund research. Then it becomes an economic spiral as other countries produce innovations that the United States must then purchase

Firings are happening right now at the National Science Foundation. Essential staff are being cut. This isn’t about the budget. If it was, they’d be going after the military (17%) or state appropriations (38%). NSF is 0.7% of the federal budget. All federal employees make up only 4% of the budget.

Want to go visit the national parks this year? Sorry. The reservation system is shut down, EMT personnel are gone, so don't get hurt or lost. No one can clean the bathrooms or cabins, so they'll be closed. Rangers are fired. www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...

The NAACP is re-mixing 1930s-era "don't buy where you can't work" campaigns to confront the neo-segregationists targeting DEI. apnews.com/article/blac...

Termination notices going out this afternoon to more than 300 employees of the National Cancer Institute. Access likely ends today. Four weeks paid leave and that’s it. Strong power move for Team Cancer.

Mediocre white men with the power to break things are telling on themselves.

i’m being serious when i say anybody not on board with a program like this is not worthy of political power because they’re not actually serious about governing.

Wishing US institutions were as captured by leftists as conservatives and centrists claim they are.

ATTN FEDERAL WORKERS: I’ll say this again: download all your SF-50s, performance evals, and your eOPF. Now. Print hard copies. And make sure you file an informal grievance with your supervisor within 15 days of any adverse action. Here is a template: www.muellershewrote.com/p/informal-g...

Is guarding the nuclear arsenal important? It seems important.

Believing that Tulsi Gabbard — longtime Russian asset and newly confirmed Director of National Intelligence — is acting in the interests of the United States requires an extraordinary level of self-delusion.

I wrote a puzzle for my #RPG group tonight. Something for them to get clues and figure out while working on other plot lines. Let's hope it lasts a few sessions. #DM #DnD #D&D

I don’t know how much suffering his voters will have to endure before they realize they’ve been conned, but I do know I shall enjoy watching them suffer.

One of the key points of non-violent direct action is to force the authorities to stop you -- to force their hand, to make them arrest you, and yes, perhaps even make them lash out in violence -- and to broadcast those images to an otherwise apathetic public. Be confrontational, not compliant.
