I genuinely did not know this, and this is amazing
Friendly reminder that dishwashers made after 1995 or so are so water and energy efficient that even if you ran them twice fully loaded it would still use less water than handwashing the same load.

So many "green" things feel like sacrifices. Dishwashers are not one of them.

Black People are forced to live in a totally different world than white people. It’s the norm for us.

Here, this husband had to deliver their baby in a truck on the side of the road—because Franciscan Health Crown Point (Indiana) expelled this wife, while in active labor.

MAMDANI: And I just think that there are barriers, barricades, to helping Americans that we can break down
TRUMP: Uh huh
MAMDANI: And breaking down barriers? Reminds me of a certain Broadway show *smiling widely* where they worked together to break a barricade?
TRUMP: *sitting bolt upright* Phantom

Mamdani just played Trump without sacrificing immigrants, Muslims, workers, or the LGBTQ.

Trump did his transactional charm offensive, Mamdani countered without compromising.

He won big and this is the man the Democratic Establishment still won't embrace.

What more do people need to see?

California has positioned itself as a beacon of hope post-Roe. But 1 in 3 hospital beds in the state is controlled by Catholic religious directives that deny life-saving maternal care in crisis.

TRUMP: and this Daniel, he went into the den?

MAMDANI: The lion's den, yes

TRUMP: surely they ate him

MAMDANI: Here's the part where it gets a little Broadway: they didn't

TRUMP: Unbelievable

The fucking nerve of Gavin Newsom to throw trans people under the bus all year, vetoing a bill that would've helped trans people obtain life-saving care, but has the nerve to have his team make a post today of all days.

I can't believe people actually respect this piece of shit.

“The ban on puberty blockers last year has left trans youth and their families feeling desperate and gives a message ‘you cannot be trans’. But of course we are trans regardless. The first thing these young people need to see and hear is that it’s ok to be who they are.”

The way the Black Panthers understood food aid as a crucial form of self defense against the capitalist machinery of the racial state remains essential to the struggle against fascism today.

one thing about this is that in the wake of all of this kirk is basically forgotten. he was barely cold in the ground before his allies — before his *wife* — started scheming over what they could take for themselves. a real life parable.
New: Reuters has tallied job losses, suspensions and investigations stemming from the reaction to Charlie Kirk's Sept. 10 assassination. Its findings: More than 600 Americans have been punished, and the figure is likely to be an under-count.

It's always hard to pick a worst day politically, but today the president called for the death of members of the opposition party, and the administration decided that people were being too hard on the swastika

Mitochondria being the powerhouse of the cell is cool and all but I think classes like "How to calm the fuck down as an adult in a healthy non self-destructive way 101" is something that should also be taught before graduation

Scoop: The Trump administration has quietly erased trans people, people of color and to some extent, the idea that some groups have more or different difficulties than others from the National Strategy to Support Family Caregivers.

Why? Unclear! They wouldn’t tell me.
Trans people and people of color have been quietly erased from national caregiving plan
The decision ignores the stark reality that underserved communities experience greater negative impacts from caregiving, from financial hardships to worse health outcomes, advocates say.
