Congressional Black Caucus calls for corporate leaders to speak out for voting rights www.newsfromthestates.com/article/cong...

As an 11th grader in NYC, I sat behind a senior who was really hoping to be accepted at the University of Chicago and talked about the Common Core a lot Had never heard of the U of C or the common core before that

I hate (1) people who rattle on about craft beer, (2) people who find any excuse to bash the left and (3) people who tell people to just calm down about it Your post leaves me totally triggered

#OtD 24 May 1988 the homophobic 'Section 28' passed into law in the UK. It stated that local authorities must not "promote homosexuality" or "the acceptability of homosexuality as a pretended family relationship." The law sparked a wave of resistance. stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/9679...

This sign is from nearly 30 years ago but there are people out there right now trying to convince you that ‘Transgender’ is a hyper modern addition that doesn’t belong

Not yet! When a full bathroom ban comes to the US, it should be called a "Starmer UK style bathroom ban"

On the one hand, conservatives have sometimes appealed to fairness. For instance, here's George Wallace in his segregation today, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever speech

DC doesn't need the rest of the trial period. It is returning London's weather

This isn’t about budget efficiency. It’s about dismantling the federal science infrastructure that protects American agriculture one “redundant” lab at a time just like the Trump administration claimed about the forest service!

This world sucks

Staggering amounts of corruption that would have brought down any previous president are happening right out in front of us. Institutional democracy reforms and prosecuting corruption must be top priorities if Democrats win power in 2028 www.ft.com/content/f921...

#WRD2026 was lit. Follow @jwj.org for highlights if you weren't able to attend

A crew in Mettler CA de-leafs a first year grape vineyard. While most first year grape plants do not yield market quality fruit, getting rid of unwanted growth helped the plant develop faster and stronger for future years. #WeFeedYou

DC’s care economy is under threat — and we’re showing up to protect it! Join us and @wearedcaction.bsky.social on Wed, May 20 @ 9:30am at the Wilson Building to speak up for child care, paid leave & healthcare! RSVP: bit.ly/20may26

Tell the Founding Fathers that you can't gerrymander the US Senate. They ensured that rural areas got disproportionate power in the Senate—precisely what Republicans are currently trying to do to the House. Wyoming (587,000 residents) and California (over 39 million residents) each have 2 senators.

Ok, Florida Supreme Court. Any chance you have integrity too?

People in the Budapest Metro, Hungary, shouting: “Russians, go home!”

Dems will not win the smashing landslide in 2028 that Magyar won in Hungary, but they need to hit the ground running like he did. A Trump flurry of executive orders is dandy, but if they have the Senate, they can't hide behind the filibuster There is only so much you can do without Congress

More about why I'm falling in love with Magyar

Magyar may be center right, but I think I'm falling in love. He actually posted this on twitter (under the see more is a call for Sulyok to resign immediately)

The fact that Swalwell is horrible has gotten Mike Johnson off the hook for waiting until Swalwell's actions came to light before pushing Tony Gonzalez to resign Johnson kept a guy in the House who led the woman he harassed to self-immolate in order to keep his margin from decreasing

Brings a whole new meaning to, "Is the Pope Catholic?"

Who can spot the copyediting fail?

"Four Catholic faith leaders washed feet and offered Communion to 14 DHS detainees at the ICE facility in Broadview IL on Holy Thursday..." "Outside in rain and heavy winds, 50 Catholic faithful held a Holy Thursday liturgy, blessed the delegation and held their own Washing of the Feet ritual..."

Did you see the Athletic report on the MLBPA coup, @jpmendelson.bsky.social? Looks to me like Marino is arguing that the union should accept a salary cap!?

Sometimes, the NYTimes policy of one columnist not attacking another leads to absurd results, like @michellegoldberg.bsky.social reaching for a National Review columnist arguing that the Iran war is going well when Bret Stephen's is doing that on her own op-ed page

Despite Trump's false claims of slashing drug prices, Big Pharma has already RAISED prices on 64 cancer drugs this year. This comes after Big Pharma gave millions to Trump's inaugural and reaped huge tax breaks and handouts from his Big Ugly Bill. "Make America Healthy Again."

Students at over 150 New York City public schools now have to use digital hall passes that can monitor how long a student is spending in the bathroom, per @gothamist.com. The tech was created by Raptor Technologies, which is majority owned by private equity giant Warburg Pincus.

Reagan selling us on the idea that the air traffic controllers were too essential to strike has it exactly backwards They are too essential to not allow them to strike. If they can't use the most powerful tool to get better wages and more staffing, they will not get the wages and staffing they need

You know what I see far too little of in the discussion of the LaGuardia disaster? Discussion of Reagan busting the air traffic controllers union. You know, the folks fighting for better pay and more staffing for air traffic controllers Chickens sometimes take a bit, but they do come home to roost

I love this for Nancy Mace. 🍿

Why is this only happening now? It should have been done decades ago. They won't pass it, they'll never give up the money they make while in office.

MAGA still supports the loser. MAGA is government of the stupid, by the stupid and for the stupid.

Increasingly seems to me like the WH has *intentionally* taken out a "blame Israel" insurance policy as a kind of fallback/escape route when and if things go sideways.

I read the NYT piece, and I am holding onto the words of a woman who fended off inappropriate advances from a 60-year-old Cesar Chavez at the age of 19. “It makes you rethink in history all those heroes,” Esmeralda Lopez said. “The movement — that’s the hero.”

The newspaper Jeff Bezos has destroyed has an op-ed today that argues in favor of almost no regulation on betting markets. Here's a flavor. It argues that after 9/11, Bush should have just put a price on Osama's head and let mercenaries do the job. Heck of a job as a newspaper owner, Bezos

You know what you can't do? Have a talking filibuster on a bill to disenfranchise people and pass a $200 billion war supplemental (or confirm a DHS secretary for that matter). A talking filibuster requires you to stay on that bill until no one is left with the energy to talk

What you should have done is get your editors to change your headlines (or change them yourselves if you write them) and changed your ledes.

We're calling on McDonald’s to rescind any retaliatory coaching, write ups or discipline given to workers and cease any other retaliation against workers for their union activity.

This is why fast food workers like us are fighting for independent Know Your Rights training here in Santa Clara County. This type of training will empower us to expose all the abuses we're suffering and allow us to use the laws we have helped pass to force change across the industry.

People over profits

Most disgraceful thing before dinner today
