Anyway, it's a good example of regular people not waiting to be told what to do. Taking action independently and then growing those actions over weeks and months. Giving more courage to others to step up to take their own actions.

People have already memory-holed how critical #TeslaTakeDown was. It was the earliest decentralized set of protests in the second term as early as Feb 2025 at a time when most people were shell-shocked and Dem leadership was cowering and capitulating. And it pushed Elon out of the WH.

still not quite over the fact that i watched 15 year olds get sued for millions of dollars for downloading twelve songs and now we all have to accept AI slop because every tech company in the known universe decided that IP laws don't exist now that they're inconvenient for them

I talked to a union local leader about the vulnerability of immigrant workers and they responded with saying that illegals should leave, and how his workers are doing their job and ICE is just doing theirs. Another example of why we shouldn’t romanticize unions and how unions are what we make them.

could not possibly be more excited about this please friends, submit q's, even softballs we love to tell people what's up help us tell you what's up

Really glad to see more active engagement with the fact that economic security has a profound impact on mental health and sometimes what someone needs is just some fucking money, not a crisis intervention.

1 in 200 humans on earth are missing from their own lives due to ME. ME is a devastating physical illness that makes rubble of the lives of patients and families. We’ve known it’s real for decades. But society still acts like it’s not real. This is a historic injustice. #MEAwarenessDay

I don't remember who I first learned it from, @mskellymhayes.bsky.social or @prisonculture.bsky.social, but ever since, I celebrate Mother’s Day by giving to @nationalbailout.bsky.social to reunite Black mamas & caregivers with their families Join in to #FreeBlackMamas at bit.ly/freeblackmamas2026!

Happening now: Cook County officials, the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant & Refugee Rights and other immigrant advocacy groups are holding a presser outside the county's Domestic Violence Court in Chicago, re: federal immigration agents being spotted at 4 separate Cook County courthouses today.

I don't only think that college should be FREE but I think young people should also receive living stipends while in school. Finally, I do not care what they major in because education needs to actually BE DECOUPLED from a future job. You are welcome. You should have 4 years to study anything.

a'ight, now I'm interested 👀

Recession tornado siren.

his funding sources are now drier than his wife

happy may day! every right you have as a worker was written in blood ❤️

at the gas station this morning paying over $60 to fill up my honda I chatted with some of the other customers. the refrain was constant: build the damn ballroom

Today is the day! May Day! General strike! No work. No school. NO SPENDING! And tell your friends! Allies of the regime are making it harder to get the news out about important events like this one! (You can also sign the May Day Pledge to let organizers know how you’re participating.)

While we're on the subject, all these right wing guys write "best-sellers" because it takes about 10K pre-orders to be number one on the NYT list your first week, so their rich patrons just buy palettes of their book and voila, John Q. Nazi is a NYT #1 bestselling author. But no one read his book

I feel like we’re willing to make Pluto a planet again, at least provisionally, if they’re willing to fund astrophysics. I’d say $100 billion/year is reasonable But if you keep cutting our budgets, I swear we’ll keep eliminating them. Hope you like a three planet solar system!

this would be a huge loss if they paid taxes

Layoffs.fyi: layoffs affecting 45,800 tech employees were announced in March 2026, making it the worst month for reported tech job cuts in at least two years (Wall Street Journal) Main Link | Techmeme Permalink

The Iranian schoolgirl, the cancer patient whose clinical trial was cancelled, the African AIDS patient who can't get treatment anymore — none of these are "real" to our media elites. Can't imagine themselves in that situation or visualize it. But "panic at the fancy gala!" on the other hand,

Red state: we have cut gender studies because it doesn’t support our theology Blue state: we have cut gender studies because it doesn’t support our AI institute

This weekend @bookshop.org has FREE SHIPPING! + I've got lists of recs for you on Israel/Palestine, at the intersection of gender and Jewish spirituality, things to reboot your inner life, and more -- FIRST: Everyone should read in this administration:

Jackie Mitchell was 17 years old when she struck out both Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig in a single exhibition game. Babe Ruth said “I don't know what's going to happen if they begin to let women in baseball. Of course, they will never make good. Why? Because they are too delicate” before the game

ICE in Chicago this morning at Elston and Kennicott—a masked agent tells a witness (on the sidewalk) not to get in front of his car. Feds are continuing kidnappings across the city & burbs after increased activity this month. No flashy CBP caravans, just a steady stream of covert ICE arrests.

Anyway, what a whirlwind trip. I know that things have been so difficult and traumatic and the future is uncertain, but it felt nice to do something good for someone and to see a family reunited after so much suffering. On the drive home, he said he’d gotten taken in winter and now it was summer.

Fractures Emerge Between GOP’s Pro-Pedophilia, Extremely Pro-Pedophilia Wings

The Arc de Triomphe was commissioned to honor Napoleon in 1806. By the time construction had really begun in earnest, Napoleon had suffered a disastrous military defeat and had been forced into exile.

As a Hungarian-American, I am so glad Viktor Orbán is out, so that I can monopolize the Viktor market, but also Americans have no idea how funny Péter Magyar is as a name. Magyar literally means "Hungarian" (the country is Magyarország in Hungarian), so it's like if we had President Joe American.

In a sick, violent way, they have more faith in the possibility of a new world than a lot of people on the other side. They are willing to reimagine all of it. Many of us cannot imagine getting rid of payday loans and they’re like eff it, let’s see if the Pope’s still got the juice.

🚨 , brace for potential flash floods! Excessive rainfall expected through late tonight. Areas affected include Boone, Cook, De Kalb, DuPage, Kane, Kendall, Lake IL, McHenry, Will, Ogle, Winnebago & Lake IN. Stay safe, monitor forecasts & be ready to act! 🌧️

It's our job to make absolutely positively certain they don't come back from this.

About a zero percent chance it’s a coincidence that this non story and all bot-fuelled hate mobs that followed happened just after she did that btw

you're laughing? orban is eating shit immediately after our loser vice president went there to try to help him in the biggest display of contagious loserdom in history, and you're laughing? yeah, me too

All four astronauts have exited the helicopters and walked across the flight deck to the medical bay. None of the standing-by wheelchairs were needed. They all looked great! So happy everything has gone so well and they’re home safe and (apparently) healthy!! 🎉

Also, uncomfortable reality is that places with greater climate resilience will need to be taking in millions of refugees from desert cities that are about to become unliveable due to climate change.

You must learn to hate the aristocracy as much as it hates you. It changes shape, tosses aside old husks like "divine right of kings" and "bloodlines" and slides right into slick new shells like "meritocracy".

It’s day 123 of the ICE occupation of MN. Minnesota is out of the headlines, but ICE continues to abduct our neighbors- their tactics have just changed.

And criminalizing Leftists. A lot of people seem traumatized by individual Leftists being mean to them. But that's an individual problem that some people have decided is a structural explanation.

i should participate as well, i don't own any bell hooks yet 📚

Red States: We are canceling all programs that don't support our theology. Blue States: We're canceling all the same programs, but because they don't support our business school.

Someone sent me this.

I am grateful Kaleth is back home but this trauma cannot be undone. Keep using your voices so more children can be free and safe. We won’t stop until we shut down Dilley and #FreeOurChildren.

was just reminded that tomorrow is april fool’s day and especially this year can we just… not, please

Yes, this is real.

Think about it from the papers perspective. They know a real progressive Dem is gonna come for media owners to break up their bullshit, so they want you to vote for a guy who's gonna lose. Or at best a guy who is on their side.

y'all
