The last time this many labor unions in NYS publicly backed taxing the rich to a significant degree—and thereby knowingly courted the ire of the governor—was 2009, when NY WFP first passed the "millionaire's tax" (still in effect today). Now, NYC-DSA + Zohran are also helping pull labor to the left.

someone get Taika Waititi and Rhys Darby on the phone, i have an idea…

After building the best public education system in the world brought us the Counterculture and the Anti-War Movement, conservatives in the US began a 50+ year assault to destroy public education.

Underrated line tbh #ofmd

Besides she's got like twenty husbands. Well. Nineteen now.

This is a great way to use a platform, but the cheering from the crowd at the end is jarring

The Strokes played Coachella against a backdrop listing all the world leaders that had been assassinated by the CIA, a count of the number of universities bombed in Iran, and footage of the bombing of the last university in Gaza

Who could have predicted this? (We all predicted this)

STILL THINKING ABOUT IT

Rugged individualism is one of the biggest lies.

the way he looks at Stede after being run thru---

that’s the guy I’m after, i want him to come, who’s he?

In 1999, I was playing a decker in Shadowrun, and tried to distract a guard by hacking a water fountain to overflow, and my GM said "why would a water fountain be on the network? That's fucking stupid. No you can't try." Well it's 2026 and I just want you to know, Phil, that I FUCKING CALLED IT!

Call me paranoid but this is why I think giving random websites your government ID is a bad idea.

I dunno about y'all but I'm fairly sure we were sold out. Everybody involved needs to be held accountable for this, and the data centers need to be held not just to the same, but to higher environmental standards. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

This article spends most of its word count focused on USPS not delivering care packages to supplement the lack of food and hygiene products and almost none on the fact that we have deployed thousands of troops for a Not War without the resources to provide for them.

I’m so sick of not seeing enough mainstream pushback along these lines. These chuds are losers! They’re pathetic! Contemptible! Worthy of nothing but mockery and scorn! Their version of “masculinity” has rancid loser stink all over it! newrepublic.com/article/2090...

the fact that legislators are trying to say that computers are devices that require id verification and tracking to use should put fear into EVERYONE. FIGHT AGAINST THIS.

Happy Tax Day, New York. We’re taxing the rich.

A hero whose heroism consists of killing people is uninteresting to me, and I detest the hormonal war orgies of our visual media, the mechanical slaughter of endless battalions of black-clad, yellow-toothed, red-eyed demons.

shout out to stede bonnet for the weird rep. there r so many characters who r weird in a cool way, but stede truly is weird in a weird way. everyone say thank you stede

Voters in a small Missouri town, unhappy with the city council’s approval of a $6B data center, ousted all four incumbent council members running for reelection

A photo of Stede for those who would like it.... #OFMD

‘Everything is gone’: Israel destroys entire villages in Lebanon

One last point: When governments talk about "age verification," they also mean "identity verification" So even if you're 55 years old, you will be virtually carded and all your social media activity will be linked to your identity. That means no online anonymity and raises privacy issues for adults

Look, I’m never not gonna post my little gif of his dramatic sip when this comes up 🤷🏻‍♀️ #ofmd

personally love the whole Stede/Jack convo bc 1) it’s clear that Stede is jealous and 2) it’s clear he genuinely does respect Ed’s past is his business— we love a “I recognize that you’re an individual who deserves to live your own life, but I ache at the thought of someone else touching you” guy

Part of why we remain here is that most people don't interact with the actual criminal punishment system, they are stuck in Law & Order land and fantasy land.

I'm one of those trans women. I worked ground ops for Artemis I. I am torn between celebrating the success of my friends and peers and grieving how my dream of working for NASA was shattered by hateful assholes in Tallahassee

i’m not being mean or anything like congrats to everyone but i met one of these women and how poor and ruined her life was after she freshly fled in her car. her nerves were shot. she’s one of the people that made this possible, and she’s forgotten and unheard from

Holy fuck 🥹

As the Integrity crew splashed down TO THE MINUTE of their estimated arrival and hit the BULLSEYE, this is a reminder that Katherine Johnson was an absolute genius. My God. #NASA #ArtemisII

Just a reminder that we can fund science, and save the earth, and feed everyone, and have health care and housing too. All those things are within our reach, together.

Imagine funding this and food and healthcare and shelter for people instead of war.

It strikes me that even in things like the Matrix where they're all in simulation, it's a shared simulation. One horror of the chatbot is that everyone is isolated into their own reality with the amplifying social permission of a group, and none of the friction

I can't remember the exact date I started watching OFMD, but I do remember my first tweet was about it making me believe in love again. And honestly, it's still doing that 💗

The boycott of the Giller Prize is over, as all three demands have successfully been met Reporting from @rdassaly.bsky.social for @thegrindto.bsky.social here: www.thegrindmag.ca/organizers-e... Campaign statement here: www.canlitresponds.ca/boycott-succ...

Picard and Guinan are fucking, right?

The famous Andor line is that "tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle." Here is a perfect example of that through malicious compliance: Idaho forced the city of Boise to remove its Pride flags. So the city painted rainbows everywhere else.

"Its giving war crime" gonna be frozen in my mind for life

I'm the daughter of an Army paratrooper who refused orders during our illegal invasion of Vietnam back in the day. He went to LBJ military jail. Dad taught his girls this: "Just following orders" is NEVER any excuse for anyone who's complicit in war crimes. You MUST refuse heinous orders.

In Korea, when the president declared martial law after midnight and erected barricades in Seoul, congressional reps from all parties ran into the streets, yanked ak47s from the army at the barricades, broke down the locked door to Congress, repealed the martial law order, and arrested the president

if Trump nukes Iran it will be because no one powerful in america has ever been seriously punished for anything

Starmer should immediately & unequivocally ban access to British airspace to US warplanes. The UK should not be accomplice to a US President who is threatening more war crimes. Period.

just to be clear, everyone, when 8 pm EDT comes and goes, regardless of what does or does not happen, the president still threatened genocide and war crimes and we should still impeach, arrest, and try him

I am not one of those who believes that history repeats, but consider the following from Herodotus: the Oracle at Delphi told the fabulously wealthy King Croesus that if he invaded Persia he would "destroy a great empire." Croesus invaded and lost--the empire he destroyed was his own.

Prosecuting and purging the Republican Party was Biden’s one job. When he failed to do his duty it was just a waiting game to this moment.

People maximize utility, not income, and for racists, racism is consumption: it is something they will give up other things to "enjoy".
