You folks did change my world. Your bundle of free ebooks that you offered at the start of covid fundamentally reshaped my thinking, and you're the main reason I became a leftist.

This year, we‘re celebrating 25 years of publishing books for changing the world! 🌻 We’re so grateful to @ollycostello.bsky.social for this beautiful new illustration. Another world is possible if we fight for it.

Absolutely extraordinary. The Democrats conceded *nothing* and got everything they demanded. They said no ICE/CBP funding, and that's precisely what happened. In other words, they did not cave. At all. But the GOP did—completely.

House passes the Senate-approved DHS funding bill by a voice vote. It funds everything in DHS except ICE/CBP, including TSA, FEMA, Coast Guard, CISA. This ends a 75-day shutdown. Bill now goes to Trump to become law. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

We promised “40 acres and a mule” to some freed slaves, confiscated land, and then backed out of the deal. A thriving black economy in the South would have prevented all of this from happening. The North did NOT win the civil war—we won the military battles only. It was sheer stupidity on our part.

This is how you do it

Director David Frankel tapped artist Alexis Franklin to hand-paint an AI Meryl Streep meme that appeared in the film.

I want to reassure everyone that abortion providers have been ready to switch to misoprostol-only abortion for a long time now, and clinics can still provide mifepristone in person. You can still access abortion and there are people who will help.

‘Stuck In The Globosphere’, an upcoming animated series by Anya Butler, has officially launched on Kickstarter (link below ⬇️). The story follows two unlucky teens trapped inside a mysterious snow globe.

Realfood.gov's AI just told me to go eat Snickers and Tostitos.

NEW: Ring has introduced "Search Party", a horrifyingly dystopian feature nominally designed to turn all of the Ring cameras in a neighborhood into a dragnet that uses AI to look for, in their commercial, a cute lost dog. With Ring, US consumers are actually building a surveillance dragnet.

With Ring, American Consumers Built a Surveillance Dragnet

Ring's 'Search Party' is dystopian surveillance accelerationism.

Lots of regular degular, never-done-an-activism folks have been activated in recent months and are working alongside a bunch of seasoned, die-hard, been-tired-for-ten-years-or-more organizers, and you don't know all of those stories bc most people are moving with a bit of discretion in these times.

Activism is about helping people in your community and not about building a huge online following about being an activist

very telling how normal people in MN really came together and risk life and limb for each other even when they're technically "strangers" but in the fallout of the epstein files all these rich fucking ghouls are happy to backstab and throw each other under the bus even tho they're all "friends"

remember back when we all doodled the current thing for warmups? we could bring that back, maybe, that was fun

twitter must be dead dead cause someone posted a rat coin purse that would have 2019 twitter losing its collective mind and most of the top comments are bots saying random words or people not nearly amped enough about the rat coin purse

"I worry that soon we’ll see homeschooling parents and their kids hop online to lament the years they wasted not teaching their kids how to read, write, or do basic math." "Soon"? Homeschool alumni have been speaking up for a decade and a half.

What I Wish Homeschool Moms Understood About What Their Kids Are Missing Out On

My kids have found a path to themselves because of the classroom — and the challenges and anxieties that come with it — not in spite of it.

Interesting from someone who swept homeless camps because the next verse is : “Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to them, ‘Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,’ but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it?” – James 2:15-16

At the end of the day, humans are social creatures. People want to feel loved and appreciated. They crave it, which is why conservatives play victim when people correctly ostracize them. I firmly believe resisting this starts with levying social penalties on people.

The problem with a lot of folks who get touchy about American History is that they don’t actually study it . And they mistake being precious and condescending about it as being respectful And it’s usually minimizing and misunderstanding of the Acts and Statutes

This tiny device can shrink dangerous blood clots. It’s called the ‘milli-spinner’ and its invention was partly an accident…

it would be cool if we didn't memory wipe the fact that elon musk was happy to get someone he would later accuse of being a pedophile elected. i know this is an unrealistic hope

please stand and salute the flag 🫡

everything that's happening now is the predictable result of this gargantuan mistake.

The irony of podcasters and media personalities accusing immigrants from the “third world” of not doing useful work.

It's been really demoralizng how much the press mindlessly repeats the lie that the National Guard was sent to quell violence. It was sent to start violence. People know this, so just say it.

Yup, that is exactly what a liberal insurrection would look like. Useless, performative, and celebrity obsessed. We will NEVER beat facism as long as we let people with this mindset be the alternative.
