Every Veteran’s Day I think about Leonard Matlovich’s headstone.

On this Veteran’s Day, I am thinking about all my comrades out on the streets fighting for democracy and against continued militarization of our country. I wish I was out with you all.

If the outcomes aren't the most important thing, it's not even politics. Politics is literally about the outcomes. What he's describing here is cosplaying.

Forget "dirty break", we're going "dirty I'm the captain now"
There’s a two party duopoly in this nation.

Is it great? No! Is it reality? Yes.

Creating a third party means building up an entirely new infrastructure from scratch and then fighting both R & D.

Taking over the Dem Party is an easier and more effective route. It’ll take time, but it’s worth it.

How realistic of a goal is it to see all 29 species of Sittidae?

New from 404 Media: a small town is fighting a $1.2 billion AI datacenter for America's nuclear weapon scientists. It is fighting the construction of a "high-performance computing facility" that would service a nuclear weapons laboratory 1,500 miles away.

50 years ago today - November 10, 1975 - the day of The Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald. Gordon Lightfoot went into Eastern Sound studios in Toronto just weeks later in December to record the song. It would be released the following summer. A Canadian classic.

How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

Great visualization showing the power of the Great Lakes to store and release heat energy that affects the weather.

A great creator to follow before they make it big is @picapocokitchen.bsky.social and her weekly videos on Mexican dishes. I think her video on chiles en nogada really shows how deeply she is connected to the food and the joy she expresses through her cooking.

40 years ago we’d have congressional hearings falsely accusing metal bands of putting backwards messages in their songs that told kids to kill themselves & now we have a planet-killing chatbot that’s all like “bet you won’t commit suicide chickenshit bitch” & the government is like here’s $5 billion

In case you’re wondering how bad things are, we are getting calls from food pantries on military bases asking if we have any food we can share because they’re hungry.

At the risk of posting music I don't have rights to post on this platform...

Follow @ cleanwatermi and @ michiganmop on the clock site, if you're the type of person to have a TikTok account. Because making silly videos with coworkers was a highlight of my week.

Thanks!

The executive branch is doing everything they can to actively try to stop hungry Americans (mostly children, seniors, and veterans) from accessing taxpayer-funded, federally-appropriated and currently available food resources. They want to hurt American citizens.
BREAKING: First Circuit denies DOJ's request for an administrative stay of the SNAP benefits TRO out of Rhode Island.

DOJ's stay request remains pending, and the panel is working on a ruling on that.

It's like every time a pathological liar tells you he gets to do something, too many of you just lay down and say, "OK I guess you get to do that."

No. Our mantra is "Fuck you, make me." We do not cede the future to these fashy fucks. This is our future. Defend it, especially in your head.
