My hat trick this weekend is for the Cardinals to sweep the Cubs, Mexico to win on Sunday, and for it to happen so I can blast the Naboo Victory Parade music out the window
I'll summarize this: Mamdani asked NYers to keep air conditioning at 78 degrees. A wave criticism hit online. A MSNBC broadcast pointed out the US Department of Energy recommends that 78 degree figure. Immediately after, the US Department of Energy deleted 6,000 web pages related to energy saving.
Two full days of an airshow over the middle of DC followed by 850,000 fireworks at MIDNIGHT tomorrow. Gonna be a little kooky in the head by Monday.
No, what happened was the religious right in the US, after losing on Obergefell v. Hodges, immediately changed tactics. They held huge conferences outlining their plans to roll back LGBT rights as whole by targeting trans people. They didn't skip a beat. We aren't to blame for our own oppression.
Gretchen Felker-Martin PRE ORDER CHIMERA 2.16.27 🍉@scumbelievable.bsky.social · last mo."They just shouldn't have participated in society" Fucking panel of cis gays discussing what trans people did to deserve genocide. Cool.
Leave it to a dem gov to shit the bed mere months into a potentially transformative administration after a decisive win, in a time when GOP sentiment is in the toilet. And the conservative radio I hate listen to will still trash her as woke and gay and trans tomorrow morning.
Lex McMenamin (they/them)@lexmcmenamin.com · 2mo agofrom Gov. Mikie Sherrill this morning, claiming “masked individuals” attacked police lacking “protective gear” who were on location since early am which is just … not plausible. tons of video and pics of shift changes and the consistent deployment of additional forces 6 pm onwards, including SWAT.
RIGHT NOW: NJ state troopers with riot gear are forcing protesters supporting the hunger strikers of Delaney Hall and media ppl down the street. They’re firing flashbang grenades at the ground to force people to disperse, per the @statuscoupnews.bsky.social livestream www.youtube.com/live/yTlpCYk...

So the Republican Supermajority breaks the law and violates the constitution to strip Memphis of representation — then Speaker Sexton strips Dems of committee assignments for daring to protest. Welcome to Tennessee.

hearing that Mayor Bowser was booed at Howard commencement. Saw a flyer on FB purportedly from Howard organizers cutting her support for youth curfews in the city, support from AIPAC, and capitulation to Trump as reasons for the protest
May 5th: Today we learned that HBG is denying to voluntarily recognize our union. To put it simply, HBG is union busting. HBG had opportunities to address worker concerns over the years. Now, it’s time for a democratically elected seat at the table. The union is YOU. The union is ALL OF US.

A D.C. report on progress in a new pilot program to reduce school truancy says that while Latino kids are a relatively small proportion of truant kids, those who have been truant have become more truant over fears of ICE activity. One kid, *a U.S. citizen*, was detained by ICE.
The state legislature tried to make a 63 percent black city live with a statue honoring a slave trader, KKK leader, and convict lessor. Now they’re going to make sure Memphians are represented in Congress by someone who hates them, and is terrified to step foot in the city. (Or any city.)

When the Venetoulis Institute announced it would save the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette from oblivion, the staff was cautiously optimistic. Then some 40 percent of the staff learned there would be no place for them in the newsroom. By @riddhisetty.bsky.social. www.cjr.org/feature/vene...
