Fascists, racists, and misogynists don’t belong in the skilled trades unions. Let them fuck off and find their own work.

On days like this I find it so hard to reconcile our human actions with the almost impossible odds that we exist at all. I wish we treasured and valued each other. I wish we realized there’s more than enough for everyone. That we belong to each other, we need each other. That we are all we have.

Instead of their older mix of anti-labor Dixiecrats and northern liberals, Democrats have shifted significantly left in the last generation to fit comfortably in the same political family as socialist-oriented parties in Europe. /1

The Democratic Party is as Socialist as European Social Democratic Parties
Democratic voters have shifted dramatically to the left in the last generation - and both federal policy and blue state governance reflects that

First malaria treatment for babies approved for use
Until now, there had only been drugs for older children which carried an overdose risk for the young.

This is the stuff. You can’t fake this. You can’t consultant this.

Meanwhile Cuomo/Adams can barely show their faces, and are currently fundraising in the Hamptons.

If The Democrats cant support this they can’t see what’s in front of their faces. @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @schumer.senate.gov

The fiscal conservatives in the GOP just added $4 trillion to the deficit to give the wealthiest people on earth a tax cut. The pro-family party just took healthcare away from 17 million Americans to give ICE a bigger budget than Brazil’s military. The single most inhumane bill ever passed.

With the awful news from the last couple hours, this post from the political optimism subreddit helped to break through a bit of the despair fog. Repubs know this is political suicide, ICE's support is crumbling despite the budget increase, and there's a myriad of ways to fight back. Keep strong.

Juneteenth is the perfect moment to remind everyone of two facts:

1. Those who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
2. Those who prevent history from being taught are plotting to repeat it.

Read this out loud. Read it again. Then teach it to your kids.

They don't even try and hide the graft here. Telecom companies give counties cuts of telephone and video call revenue. Jails then restrict in-person visits and price-gouge families reason.com/2024/03/22/l...

The support has been awesome to see through our threads/Instagram suspension the past few days — genuinely means a lot to us.

Reminder: One great way to support our work is to chip in a few bucks monthly and grab a Holler hat 🧢 like @davidwontshutup.bsky.social’s: tnholler.com/holler-hats/

this is horrifying. we just learned the latest iteration of the Great Big Bill has a proviso requiring ALL pizzerias sell a pie with "hot honey". this will exacerbate an already terrible trend. disastrous news after the parliamentarian shot down the proviso mandating all menus call pepperoni "peps"

Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez deserve their luxury wedding in Venice, and I'm not just saying that because the Amazon founder paid me $1 million.

In light of stripping Harvey Milk's name from a Navy ship, on this anniversary of the Stonewall Uprising, & in the sad aftermath of the assassinations of Melissa Hortman, her husband, & her dog, I need to observe that Milk and Mayor Moscone were also assassinated by a white male conservative.

LA PROTESTERS: How to annoy ICE, cops, Guardsmen & Marines “patrolling” the streets?

Blast “IN THE NAVY”, follow & dance party around them with BIG Pride flags, glitter bomb them & shout “Happy Pride Month”.

Believe me, the ridicule they’ll get will make them LOATHE being in LA.

An addled president is shredding the Constitution to usher in white nationalism and fascism while destroying the economy and our health care, so if you’re going to write an alarmist op-ed because a mayoral candidate might open five (5) city-run grocery stores, you can kindly get bent.
