I wish journalists would stop framing political news as wins or losses for politicians or political parties. It’s an abrogation of our mission. Why do we keep doing this? Is the spending bill a win or loss for the American people? Who does it help? Who does it hurt? Is it sound policy? Fiscally?

The reason you're having trouble concentrating if you are here in the US is because we're basically being chased around by serial killers and being asked to disregard the fact.

EMBARRASSING: Trump used a Congo mass grave to push a fake “white genocide” in South Africa.

The image? Reuters footage of Black civilians killed by rebels.

He showed it to Ramaphosa as proof.
This is racist disinformation on a global scale — and it’s deadly.

Everyone has one Mitch Hedberg joke stashed in their brain like a squirrel to sustain them whenever they need to feel joy for 30 seconds and mine is “they say the recipe for Sprite is Lemon and Lime but I tried to make it at home, there’s more to it than that”

🚨 The US House of Reps have now PASSED their budget bill that includes a BAN on Gender Affirming Care for Medicaid for ALL AGES.

This bill now goes to the Senate where it’s likely to pass.

23.9% of Harvard’s undergrad students are international. That 23.9% group pays full tuition. That money means a first generation kid from Queens or a poor kid from Oklahoma can go to Harvard without having to pay.
Breaking News: The Trump administration halted Harvard’s ability to enroll international students, a major escalation in its battle with the school.

word to folks doing local organizing;

Instead of using AI images, PLEASE write a call for volunteer (or paid if you can afford to) designer/illustrators.

There are piles of people looking for how to plug in to make a difference in their communities. Using AI is a bad, cheap look

I’m trying to stay on course but folks are cheering Ford and Trudeau, which is fine, no judgement, but it’s an upside down world for some of us, lol. It obfuscates so much harm done in Canada. Fascism is truly all encompassing.

Yes, I work out in a respirator.

I was used to it anyway because I wore one when I was a road cyclist in London.

It means I get a good workout, and nothing else.
