We are incredibly grateful for the endorsement of the Democratic Congressional nominee for NY-7, my fellow @uaw.org sibling running for office, @claireforny.bsky.social.

Money out of politics. Money in your pocket. Medicare for All. Michigan... We won. I am so proud to be your Democratic nominee for US Senate. Let's win in November.

this is so fucking disgusting.

Mike Johnson tells Politico that he's standing behind Republican Max Miller — despite the "serious" domestic abuse allegations against him.

From Beacon Hill to DC, we're tired of the bosses in the halls of power. It’s time to send in the union organizers. We’re part of a national movement fighting for working people and democracy. I’m proud to be running for office alongside fellow @uaw.org member @claireforny.bsky.social

if we're talking about a band specifically, I would have to say Talking Heads - Fear of Music - Remain in Light - Speaking in Tongues if we're talking about an artist Bjork - Post - Homogenic - Vespertine

What's the best three album run from a band? (the correct answer is Moving Pictures, Signals, and Grace Under Pressure by Rush, but I'm excited to learn second place)

Like, just sitting here watching Blacksky develop as a third party who teaches CS, and especially CS as it applies to social platforms... the sheer amount of correct decisions made in every situation so far is STUNNING. Please, students, if you're going to learn from an example, that's the one.

god they want to be persecuted so bad lmfao what a joke

Nobody is stopping churches from preaching, praying, or worshipping. The Constitution protects that. What it doesn't protect is turning the government into an arm of the church.

genital inspections to play sports are wrong at any age, but requiring them pre-puberty is a real “the cruelty is the point” moment

Can't think of a thing that will radicalize a generation faster than "you've gotta let that old man in the corner over there see what's inside those pants before you play Kindergarten volleyball."

Found maybe the worst take in history

one of the worst aspects of being in a car-centric city (i.e., Charlotte NC) that is also rapidly developing without ample public transit, is that property owners and towing companies are scheming together by forcing you to scan a QR code and "check in" in the parking lot of a cafe. insane stuff

UGH I wish I could have made it, but im so happy to see that BDSA members are turning out 🥲. GO EVAN!!!!!

maybe it's optimistic of me (i do love optimism) but when the majority of cis people's interaction with the concept of transness is through headlines and transphobic media, i think it's powerful what the basics of being a good person can do while visibly or openly trans. we'll win, but not in a day.

my mom is not a fan of the foo fighters...

Reminder that we published an extensive interview with a former editor at The New York Times who laid out, in detail, how the paper's pushing of anti-trans bigotry was both very intentional and directed from the very top of the organization. The NYT plays a direct and major role in trans genocide:

'A directive from above': Former NYT editor lays out how the paper pushes anti-trans bigotry

In this in-depth interview, former New York Times editor Billie Jean Sweeney details how the paper shifted towards openly promoting anti-trans hatred, how some staff tried to stop it, how it's directe...

Unsurprising that all these cuts being made to #Harvard —from the Office of Student Services to the Writing Center to now the Dudley Co-op—are happening with input from McKinsey, a firm made up of The Second Worst People I knew in college there

This is Jim Haggerty's greatest test (besides turning into a pig). Tune in TONIGHT for a new episode of The Haggerty Show, 8/7 CT.

What the fuck?? “While Mr. El-Sayed is fringy and radical, he’s also a Muslim man. Ms. Stevens is a white woman. This puts her at a disadvantage in the identity Olympics that internal Democratic Party politics have become.” www.wsj.com/opinion/free...

conservative christians will really traumatize children with rapture theology and the threat of eternal damnation should they not believe the right things, but then turn around and cry about rainbow dinosaurs -_-

This event mocks the very protections so many have fought for by exposing preschoolers to adult material that is not only inappropriate, but far beyond their level of cognitive development."

Ronmel Rangel had no health insurance. When the estimated cost of his hernia repair exceeded $20,000, he was able to save thousands by shopping around hospitals and surgical centers.

genuinely insane what the fuck
