Sometimes, kids, you just gotta look at the drugs somebody is trying to pass you and say "wow that would fuck me up, dead-style"
60% of Alaska is federal land – we depend on federal employees more than almost any state. The thousands of workers who were fired managed our forests, fought for our fisheries, and supported our veterans. We need more opportunities in Alaska, not less. www.adn.com/business-eco...

Nobody is gettable on trans rights, largely because there is a massive asymmetry on the right: if you don't care about it that much, anti-trans appeals won't move you. If you do care about it and you're a Republican, nothing less than a policy of forced assimilation and extermination will suffice.
Insane that AOC is being quoted as saying "Woke 1 was crazy" when this is what she actually said. youtu.be/SFwAnMLBSOw?...

We spend so much time looking for God that we miss God in the person sitting next to us. In the face of a neighbor, we glimpse the face of God. We love God by loving our neighbors.
Private equity is price gouging firefighters now. Yes, you read that right. Firefighters. Is this the most evil thing they've done yet?

Justin J. Pearson has won his primary election for Congress in Tennessee. His campaign is built on one idea: government should work for everyday people — not the rich, and not corporations. That's not a slogan, it's a fight he knows well. And he's ready to take it to DC.
On one hand, it's a good thing CBS finally told the truth. On the other hand, CBS can still go fuck themselves. Bullshit artist Bari Weiss and the Ellison family, even with all their money, can't buy back credibility. And smart Americans will never forgive them for what they did to Stephen Colbert.
UPDATE: CBS News reverses course, airs story on 9/11 families supporting Mamdani
Last week, CBS News New York falsely reported that “thousands of 9/11 victims’ families are asking New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani not to attend this year’s solemn remembrance ceremony.” The articl...

Abdul El-Sayed was outspent 9-to-1 by AIPAC and corporate Super PACs in the most expensive Senate Democratic primary of all time. Last night, he proved that organized people can beat organized money.
I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time.

Senator John McCain warned us about Rand Paul when he said, “The senator from Kentucky is now working for Vladimir Putin.”
As an ideologically committed anti-imperialist, of course I stand with the oppressed nations of the world-system periphery (Taiwan) rather than the oppressor nations of the imperial core (Beijing)
Big news here. After Salgado Araujo was killed by an ICE agent, *someone* leaked that a search warrant for the van showed FBI thought they might have seen drug baggies in it. The family said it was drink powder. Apparently the substance was tested and the family was correct.
