No no it’s good that we have winter I’m happy that it’s cold. If I was wearing shorts right now that would be bad because, you know, climate change. I’m always talking about stopping climate change, of course, so I’m pleased that I’m frozen.

Starbucks workers this Thursday 11/13 are starting a long strike to win a first union contract

*** NOBODY SHOULD BUY ANYTHING FROM STARBUCKS AS LONG AS WORKERS ARE STRIKING ANYWHERE IN THE COUNTRY***

Consumer boycotts are very powerful when combined with workplace militancy

Meet Yaa’kub Ira Vijandre. He’s the US’ latest political prisoner.

His detention is designed to send the message that anything noncitizens post in support of disfavored causes can be labeled a deportable threat to national security.
ICE Caged This Man For His Instagram Posts And Likes
New details about Yaa'kub Ira Vijandre's detention show his posts supporting Palestine and the wrongfully convicted representing, in Homeland Security's eyes, support for terrorism

Spider is a mathematician
Diminutive fairy wombat poop. Tiny cubes under 2mm on each side.

These are egg sacs made by a spider in the family Theridiosomatidae.

They made yesterday’s hike special. Finding something I’ve never seen before is such a thrill.

Mayor-elect Mamdani has promised free buses during his campaign, paid with corporate taxes. Gov Hochul said that she can't provide that because MTA buses run on fares. I'd like to remind @governor.ny.gov that there were free buses in #nyc

Each year IBP holds a photo contest for our seasonal employees. This photo of a Brown Booby by Asch Nighthawk took 3rd place this year. Asch was a member of our Tropical MAPS crew, monitoring birds on the island of Rota, CNMI in the western Pacific. 🪶🌎🧪

Chuck Schumer has not met this moment and Senate Democrats would be wise to move on from his leadership.

Blue Thunder is on. A movie with Roy Scheider that I absolutely loved as a kid. Now that I'm an adult, it's giving me John Carpenter dystopian vibes & makes me think of @sarahkendzior.bsky.social Helicopter surveillance & deadly crowd control. Reminds of 1987 Running Man, also.

I looooove Ann Reinking. When she was in Annie, I was in complete awe of her moves. Graceful. Fluid.
Celebrating Ann Reinking on her birthday with this astonishing Jack Mitchell photo. Annie was elegant, intelligent, hilarious, bawdy, ferocious, silly, empathetic, and deep as the ocean. 💔💜

My book #Strongmen turns 5 today! The paperback edition, with a new epilogue on January 6, is now 4. The book built a large readership gradually and became a New York Times bestseller in Nov. 2024. Thank you to all who read it and share its warnings about what such leaders do to societies.

This is so sadistic. These people are proud of the terror they're inflicting. They're enjoying it.
"While Border Patrol photographers snapped photos, one agent shouted, “Everyone say, ‘Little Village!’”"

ICE/CBP have targeted Little Village for 10+ yrs. In just the last 3 wks, they've repeatedly (3x) used chemical weapons, aimed guns, & threatened residents, most recently this past weekend.
Border Patrol Agents Pose At 'The Bean' For Apparent Photo Op
The photo op came after agents tear-gassed a Little Village street and were spotted in the area numerous times. At the Bean, one agent shouted, "Everyone say, Little Village!"

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

My insurance goes up 27% next year. Don't f'ing talk to me about big girl panties. People went without food and paychecks for a stunt, and if that's a clever strategic win in your book, then you've never gone hungry. Being an adult means thinking of people's suffering as more than political chits.

Politicians from both parties work for the same "mafia state" and have essentially the same corporate donors; they work for those donors, not their constituents. Read everything this young woman has written.
