working class more like working this ass to death help help help help

Wealthy bro dudes like Shopify CEO benefit way more from public infrastructure than we do. Their delivery trucks, trains, and planes use our public roads, waterways/ports, and airports. To make them bank. But we should get no vote compared to them? Nah bro, you should get no vote for freeloading.

Missing the World Cup already? Good thing there’s another kicking off in less than a year! @jonarnoldfc.bsky.social tells you all you need to know for 2027 tournament in Brazil. (And if you’re considering responding with misogynistic bullshit, take that crap to X)

5 reasons to get excited for 2027 women's World Cup in Brazil

not joking I tried applying and it wants me to prove my partner is my child. we have to provide SO many identifying, personal documents so I’m v baffled why they insist I provide his birth certificate (long form) or adoption papers or court custody papers. there is seemingly no way to override this

This is simply enraging: People are losing SNAP benefits because the fed govt has placed onerous bureaucratic hurdles that make it hard for eligible people to collect the benefits they are due. How dare we treat people in need this way? www.nytimes.com/2026/07/20/u...

I'm shocked anyone (cough, Seattle Times ed board) would advocate against library funding. Libraries are essential public goods and community spaces, they spread ideas and knowledge, and they serve as a guard against authoritarianism. Who would be served by crippling library cuts? Hmm.

What a no vote on Seattle's Prop 1 is a vote for, according to the Seattle Public Library Foundation. Imagine advocating for public libraries to be defunded at a time like this. Couldn't be me.

More than one-third of the Library's funding in 2027 (and beyond) would disappear. SPL would be forced into drastic budget reductions.
Library staff jobs would likely be lost. A quarter of the 600-plus positions at SPL, including one-third of all children's and teen librarians, are Levy-funded.
Branches might close or see significantly reduced hours due to staffing shortages. Free programs like Story Time, author events, and many others would likely be scaled down substantially.
Half of the budget for books and materials would be lost, significantly increasing hold times and decreasing the range of reading options, including the likely elimination of Peak Picks.
The City would be forced into a long and complex process to restore funding. Cuts are highly unlikely to be addressed in the regular budget process, given the City's revenue situation.
While another ballot measure could be brought forward and approved eventually, the Library and its patrons could feel these adverse budget impacts for a year or more.

OMG 😱 did you hear how bad socialism is? It’s so bad that it feeds the poor, takes care of the sick, makes our streets safer, life less stressful +more affordable and costs the majority little and the Uber wealthy only their fair share in taxes that they have gotten away with not paying for decades!

also not lost on me that as democratic socialists are winning some elections, a new red scare targeting anarchists, antifascists, and their allies is digging in hard, and today handed down 30, 50, and 100 year prison sentences to activists and organizers
