@feini.bsky.social Thought of you...

Is your neighborhood ready?

A grape harvest crew sets the freshly picked grapes out to dry. Without the intense summer heat, the humidity during fall and winter poses a different challenge. It is vital to ensure the fruit is dry before being packed in boxes and shipped all around the world. #WeFeedYou

Republicans and their billionaire donors thought they could buy the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. Pennsylvanians made it clear: Their state is not for sale! I have family members living in PA, so this victory is feeling a little extra sweet...

Ooooh, this sounds so cool! Collaborative writing PLUS behind-the-scenes bonus content? Yes, please. Y'all remember what I've said about pre-orders being important to the life of a book, right? Who in your life needs this as a present during these darkening months of the year?

International Business Machines Corp. (IBM) is facing a lawsuit alleging it discriminated against Black executives when it terminated them to align with the Trump administration’s push to eliminate federal diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs. afrotech.com/ibm-fired-bl...

The Biden administration worked hard to accomplish this new free IRS filing system. It’s astounding that one should have to pay fees in order to pay their taxes. But this rent seeking is entirely consistent with the economic policies of the current administration that benefit the most wealthy.

It’s Election Day, and your voice matters! 🗳️💪 Remember: voters have rights — no one can stop you from casting your ballot. Save this post for when you head to the polls and share it to spread the word. Democracy is strongest when we all show up. 🔁🗣️ #VoteDemToday

One year, two layoffs... ugggh! Who can pitch in to help @showupforthis.bsky.social & fam out?

Okay, I had to part with my favorite black lipstick due to sensory issues - so, fellow neurodivergent folks: what’s your favorite sensory-friendly makeup brands? Bonus if you include photos of your look! 🧡

"Quietly," huh? Wonder if any ICE agents are hearing this...

NJ peeps, the polls are open until 8pm tonight... please make sure you vote if you're eligible to do so!

Attention conservative democrats ——

If you’re looking to support on the ground Jamaican orgs, We Change Jamaica focuses on gender equality and LBGTQ+ inclusion & they are putting together aid packages for queer & trans Jamaicans who don’t feel safe going to shelters. gofund.me/09619a41e

@andyeyeballs.bsky.social Was this from an interview? “Miss Major told us that our shared task is to build an ever-growing network of physically protected physical spaces that can shuttle people between them, feed them, be fluid, growing denser & denser until it blots out the rest of the world.”

Less than 24 hours before Andrew Cuomo is, I hope, consigned to the dustbin of political history I recommend this documentary to you for no apparent reason. Airing free until the end of the month on PBS.

Grrrr...

Now THAT's how you lesbian! 💜👍

All eyes are on NYC Mayoral election. Cool. Please put as much effort into learning about YOUR local elections and politics…from governor to DA to PD to sheriff to school board and everything in between

Prop 50 is how Californians take back their voice. It stops partisan games that let politicians choose their voters instead of voters choosing them. CA friends, protect our power. Vote YES on Prop 50 TODAY. #CAVoteYesProp50

Guys! Pre-orders are super-important to the life of a book, and c'mon, you definitely have a data nerd in your life who needs a copy of their very own...

This is brilliant

US citizen shot from behind as he warned ICE agents children would be coming to get bus, lawyers say

Do I know anyone who'd be interested in doing some kind of sword & sorcery panel at Emerald City Comicon next year?

The average US taxpayer spends $36 a year on SNAP You know what they spend on corporate subsidies? $670 Poor and disabled people who need food are not the problem If you’re angry about “your money” feeding people but not angry it’s giving tax cuts to the wealthy? You’re doing their dirty work.

not sure if it’s obvious by now but i’ve got orders to monitor ICE activity and, as usual, i’d appreciate any help bsky has to offer. if you gotta tip, my signal account is in my bio. i’m very mechanical. i can track things. data. paperwork. but i could always use help w/ people.

I am feeling so grateful for Dell and the other amazing reporters at @wired.com, who have just been out here tirelessly shining a light...

I keep seeing people say, oh, trans people must take a hit for the greater good and, first of all, no, you don't get to discard someone else's rights and second, we know from past experience that marginalized communities like theirs are merely the first to be targeted. They'll come for you next.

California’s democracy has been hijacked by extremists blocking fair maps and silencing voters. Prop 50 ends the chaos, restores balance, and puts power back where it belongs—with the people. Vote YES on Prop 50 TODAY. #Prop50VoteYes

Just 20 minutes or so until tonight's NJ League of Women Voters free webinar on immigration in NJ... there's still time to sign up! www.lwvnj.org/header/upcom...

Sound on📢 While the world takes for granted the peace of a quiet morning coffee, this child — like thousands of Ukrainian children — has known only the sound of explosions since birth. Just look into the eyes of this little boy in Kharkiv.

I've talked before about power struggles within hardening authoritarianism. Usually, regime supporters fight over using rule-of-law in crackdowns (with massive abuses, of course) vs. completely embracing extrajudicial methods. Here, we see the latter dominating. Which is very bad news going forward.

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP. Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP. The people who need help are not the problem. It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

There is no saving "America". America IS the system. America IS racism. America IS fascist capitalism. America IS a settler-colonial superpower. Full article here: truthout.org/articles/bor...

“Have you ever translated your clever tweets from Russian to English? It ain’t as easy as you’d think, Lady!” says #Trump Russian teenager PR team.

Got your whistle?

Governor Kathy Hochul drowned out by 13,000 New Yorkers demanding she Tax The Rich not once, not twice, but THREE times.

YOIKES.

It’s Monday and I want to remind everyone that Pen Kaxton is still pursuing this, still trying mightily to nuke a CHURCH out of existence because their ministry calls them to serve the poor. You know, like Jesus said to. He’s suing a church. He’s suing. A church. SUING A CHURCH.

"I’m out strolling along Milwaukee Avenue, and a couple middle schoolers just handed me a whistle + information about how to resist ICE in Chicago." WOW, how cool is this?

Walz: "They are paying contractors to pay down the East Wing but they're not putting money into the food bank. So if there's a sense of frustration in America, it's very real ... when the White House press secretary said their top priority is the ballroom, we could not disagree more."

Of course. 😡

"The Lakota call the Black Hills the Heart of Everything That Is, and when the US stole the landscape of ponderosa pine and granite, it broke the 1868 Treaty of Fort Laramie and began a process to erase Native American culture and history." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

We like white bread as much as the next person. However, this is a whole lot of a particular type of white bread. Since July, the aesthetic of the U.S. Department of Labor has undergone a significant transformation on X and Facebook. But this is how it's done ... Little by little.

I'm excited to share that our first on the record official YES to our demand is Council Member Lynn Schulman of District 29!!!! If Council Member Schulman is your representative, please thank her for supporting our public libraries. nycplan.org/scorecards/l...

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?
