To be a historian is to speak ill of the dead and the rest of you should take more history classes and join us.

Florida folks: If you have O- blood and are of African or African American descent, OneBlood is searching for donors who have a rare antigen that matches with a teenager with sickle cell disease who needs 50 units of blood so she can have a bone marrow transplant.

My brother, if we win the Democratic Party primaries then we ARE the Democratic Party

went down to the centrist convention. they’re all shaking and crying, I heard one guy say “I’m starting to think a better world IS possible.” the lady next to him slapped him in the face

I am baffled that my campaign slogan for New York's 12th district, "Let's Close Our Eyes and Do Everything the Same Forever and Maybe Somehow Things Will Improve?" failed to rally Democratic voters. Some said "maybe lose the question mark" but I wasn't sure I could stand behind a flat statement.

The sentencing here is so absurd, it's a miscarriage of justice. A guy who wasn't present or involved got 30 years for moving a box of zines. The two people who helped plan January 6th, Enrique Tarrio and Stewart Rhodes got 22 years and 18 years for seditious conspiracy, respectively.

Both these headlines are from Texas this month. Texas sentenced anti-ICE protestors to 100 years in prison, but a serial pedophile to only 30 days. This is MAGA exemplified.

When you see the story about how the world now has its first trillionaire, and when you see the story about how laboratories in Congo have run out of supplies to test for Ebola, it is important to understand that in many ways these are the same story.

Imagine if we treated Trump the way we treat people who miss the recertification deadlines for government assistance programs.

Is there someone in construction that can explain to me why there needs to be scaffolding above the letters?

Just want to register my strong disapproval of the profane language used in my home country.

You don't hate Elon Musk enough.

however much you hate billionaires is not enough

Wealth tax now. A progressive tax on assets starting at $100M. Everything from $1B up should be taxed at 100%

This SpaceX IPO thing has me bummed What about the people that work just as hard for their communities that will never see anything close? Why do we value the for-profit defense work more than teachers for example? Or people working in community health centers? Or the low cost vet clinics?

Remember the current NIH director going on about protecting researchers from government censorship? Today his people called the police in to forcibly remove my colleagues from their own society meeting for sharing an editorial published in their flagship journal that was critical of him. Gift link

This is so unbelievably problematic. The heart of these conferences is supposed to be discussion and distributing a reprint is completely in the spirit of that This is scientific censorship and it will hurt everyone

The right wants me to not exist and the dems want me to be nicer. What the actual gaslighting fuck is this country

If any other gov candidate had a platform even close to as strong as what Steyer’s is, I would vote for a not-billionaire But I have to support ideas and policies that are going to save lives. The other candidates are pathetic So no, I didn’t want to vote for Steyer, but he’s the best option imo

I would like to see this sort of thing out of every Dem candidate for office it's not that hard to be a decent human being, it just isn't and I know the world is full of shitty assholes who will try to tear you down for it, but I really believe that it doesn't have to be a liability

Here is Tom Steyer personally supporting high school trans athlete AB Hernandez. I don't think I've ever seen a candidate as brave as Tom Steyer in his explicit support for trans folks. It says a lot that it took a self funded billionaire not dependent on donors to do it.

The FDA webpage had a stark warning: Some purported autism “cures” or treatments, including chlorine dioxide and raw camel milk, are dangerous and make misleading claims. Under RFK Jr.’s leadership, that advisory is gone. (Published Feb.)

Anyone know how I can get a @tomsteyerhq.bsky.social yard sign in LA? I know they have them for sale on his website, but it says that it takes 1.5 weeks to ship so there’s not time to

Here’s an issue that people from every political affiliation agree on: Political texts suck and should be illegal if you don’t get consent in advance. Get rid of them

Some genius thinks that my 178 follower account is getting paid for a post supporting Steyer 💀 Somebody else once accused me of being a paid protester and yet, all I came home with were bruises. I keep asking how I can get paid and no one will tellllll meeee

It's so infuriating to see Harris/Trump 2024 repeating itself in CA Dems are insisting that we need to get behind the centrist, Becerra, so that Bianco doesn't win No How about you earn the progressive vote instead of just forcing another candidate down our throat in a run to the middle?

Real wages are falling.

It's true if Elon Musk's entire fortune was seized and he was imprisoned for crimes against humanity every person on earth would get about $93. We should start there and see how we feel and if everyone likes it we do the next one

Can’t wait for like, 500 articles that are like “as I dived under a table to hide from the shooter I realized I had to be even more sycophantic to the White House”

LA Los Angeles Anarchist Book Fair this weekend (Saturday & Sunday) - details in the link

This is upsetting, but perhaps not surprising. Google promises its users that they'll tell you BEFORE they hand over your data to law enforcement. But they didn't. This person attended a protest in support of Palestine for a few minutes. He's still being hunted despite already leaving the US

April 15 is Steal Something from Work Day! Bosses, landlords, and billionaires steal from us continuously. It's not just wage theft—they've robbed us of the entire world, reducing everything to private property, commodities, or wreckage. Let's snatch back what we can. stealfromwork.crimethinc.com

Misinformation is still wrong even if you like the source This post-truth/post-fact society is wearing me down. It was exhausting when it was coming primarily from the right, but now it's pervasive everywhere

BBC picked up the story, great to see it getting more visibility - I just hope it leads to action: www.bbc.com/news/article...

My one-hour special “Rick Steves Iran: Yesterday and Today,” which helps humanize 90 million Iranian people, is streaming free and ad-free at www.ricksteves.com/watch-iran.

Los Angeles Bluesky, I need your help. I just learned that on Saturday at the protest at the downtown Metropolitan Detention Center, a friend’s 18-year-old son was shot in the eye with a pepper ball by DHS, permanently blinding him. He needs justice. If you were there and saw anything, please… 1/5

Omg I read through the doc several times thinking I was just missing other countries This is a report from the government. All but three refugees in the last months admitted IN THE ENTIRE US were from South Africa What a shit hole country we live in

Alt text: On the left side, there are 2 books by bell hooks, a Black woman and respected writer on race, feminism, and class who lived and was a distinguished professor in KY. The books are Communion and Appalachian Elegy On the right, there are 2 books by JD Vance: Communion and Hillbilly Elegy

I went back to capture what the astronauts said in full when the clock was stopped at T-10 minutes and they were asked if they were go for launch: This is Victor. We are going for our families. This is Christina. We are going for our teammates. This is Jeremy. We are going for all humanity.

This is an important distinction. The fight isn’t over It’s bad, but it could have been worse and WE STILL HAVE TO FIGHT

The amount of “allies” that have tried to explain why I shouldn’t be grief stricken 😩 And I have to keep screaming it at the top of my lungs - the same person that invented “conversion” therapy also invented ABA which tortures autistics into behaving in acceptable ways. Everything is connected

We have a verdict and we are heartbroken at the results. This is only the beginning. We will continue to fight the remaining charges until every defendant is home.

Hahahahaha. Every time I log on here, I remember how much better life is without social media This is the kind of person not even worth debating because he doesn’t understand critical thinking and how to formulate logical arguments What do you call affirmative action for white cis men? This guy.

A mother and daughter in Kentucky have rejected multimillion-dollar offers for their land, offers made by an anonymous tech company trying to build a data center. Ida Huddleston has turned down $4,260,000. Her daughter turned down $22,224,000. www.lex18.com/news/coverin...

Jayme Lawson’s remarks are spectacular “Just because you invite someone into a space, but you don’t provide the necessary resources to keep them and everyone else in that room safe by them being there, that’s not inclusivity. That’s exploitation” www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...

Another example of someone who doesn’t believe she has a responsibility for what she says/posts To be clear, you should not post or repost anything that you haven’t actually read and understood. If you don’t have time or don’t want to, you don’t actually have to weigh in 🤷‍♀️

I'd be more inclined to believe that Graham Platner is merely a dumbass if he was making different kinds of "mistakes" instead of one very specific type of "mistake" over and over
