I got to give THE OLANDRIA CARTHEN a copy of #TheDoubleTax.
Seeing all Olandria has gone through and how she continues to prevail. I am so glad that a book that I wrote, focused on how Black women are the benchmark for progress, is in her hands. #loveislandusa #nicolandria #blacksky

The thing about the USPS is that it's the skeletal network of the constitutional order. There wouldn't be an imagined community of the US without it. The white supremacist neo-Confederate vision is to tear this all down and erect racialist-monarchist hierarchy where there is imperfect republicanism.
"the USPS is a miracle. it's in the constitution. for the price of a single stamp you can send a letter across the country, from Hawaii to Maine. Trump is trying to take that away from you. He's attacking Christmas cards and wedding invitations. It's un-American and it has to stop."

Utter hypocrisy from Viner at the Guardian, positioning her rag as supporting "communities", A rag which has not only *censored* the words of a non-binary academic but which liberally spreads disinformation about trans people and enabled much of the discrimination attacking us.

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

🚨SCOOP: Amazon is preparing to sever ties with USPS and expand its shipping network as a true coast-to-coast rival.
It could cost USPS more than *$6 billion* a year in lost revenue, and lead Amazon to dominate yet another facet of the economy.
USPS posted a *$9 billion* loss in 2025.

The first school to market itself as AI free is going to corner the market on people interested in actually learning. And I would not be surprised if rich families and the children of people creating this tech were the first movers.
My employer, Dartmouth College, today boasts it's 1st Ivy "to launch AI at an institutional scale." It is doing this by partnering--"more than a collaboration"--with Anthropic, a company that stole the books of many faculty, me included, which many of us are suing.

Framing GenAI as a battle between teachers and students is a red herring. Students and educators are on the same side. The real opposition are the data extraction firms and brokerages and their allies among the managerial class.

Another thing regarding mutual aid & who your community is, is a lot of disabled people in particular are very isolated. They're in deep poverty & complete abandonment. Literally. So they hop online to have community. Sometimes it's the only community they have & the only way they can get help.
