(above images of the Target, Amazon, and Home Depot logos that have been crossed out) We Ain't Buying It Target Companies This action is taking direct aim at Target, for caving to this administration's biased attacks on DEl; Home Depot, for allowing and colluding with ICE to kidnap our neighbors on their properties; and Amazon, for funding this administration to secure their own corporate tax cuts.

ICE should be abolished for the simple fact that being undocumented is a civil matter, not a criminal one. And if someone does break the law criminally, that's what we have regular police for. We don't need Patriot Act level gestapo on our streets, we never have.

Hope someone can help me? The copy I have access to of volume 4 No. 1 (1980) of "AEB. Analytical & Enumerative Bibliography" is missing pp. 14 and 79. This appears to be a problem with that specific copy, since I have not found a reported erratum (or the missing page printed) in later volumes. 1/

“Don’t let the bastards grind you down. I love you all.”
Black text on a yellow background - This is Alice's friend Sandy Ho, posting. Per Alice's wishes, this message is being shared at the time of her passing. Hi everyone, it looks like I ran out of time. I have so many dreams that I wanted to fulfill and plans to create new stories for you. There are a few in progress that might come to fruition in a few years if things work out. I did not ever imagine I would live to this age and end up a writer, editor, activist, and more. As a kid riddled with insecurity and internalized ableism, I could not see a path forward. It was thanks to friendships and some great teachers who believed in me that I was able to fight my way out of miserable situations into a place where I finally felt comfortable in my skin. We need more stories about us and our culture. You all, we all, deserve the everything and more in such a hostile, ableist environment. Our wisdom is incisive and unflinching. I'm honored to be your ancestor and believe disabled oracles like us will light the way to the future. Don't let the bastards grind you down. I love you all.

Our beloved Alice Wong has joined the ancestors. It was one of the great honors of my life to call Alice my friend, co-author & co-conspirator. She was a true genius, a force of nature the likes of which the world has never seen before. I love you, Alice, and am equal parts grateful and devastated

Kind of satisfying to respond to a referee request with this note (the first two reasons were on a checklist where you could tick only one response, hence the note):

The UUA has joined Jewish, Christian, and Muslim leaders in signing a multi-faith letter calling for human dignity, accountability, and an end to the atrocities in Gaza and the West Bank.

At the top right is the UUA flaming chalice logo in red with the words “Unitarian Universalist Association” in red text. At the top left is a large gray quotation mark symbol. Centered text in dark gray reads: “The futures of Palestinians, Israelis, and all peoples of the Middle East are intertwined… We issue this call not only as a response to war and extreme violence, but as a moral imperative to build a future rooted in hope and human flourishing.” Beneath the quote is a thin gray line on each side of the attribution, which reads: “Churches for Middle East Peace 2025 Multi-Faith Global Letter.” At the bottom center of the graphic is a red rectangle with white text that reads “http://UUA.ORG .”

UU President Rev. Dr. Sofía Betancourt joins faith leaders across traditions in proclaiming: transgender, intersex, and nonbinary people are holy, whole, and worthy of love. Together, we call out the misuse of religion to justify harm.

The text reads: “Transgender, nonbinary, and intersex people are vulnerable today… Our faiths, our theologies, and our practices of prophetic witness call on us to say with one voice: YOU ARE HOLY. YOU ARE SACRED. WE LOVE YOU. WE SUPPORT YOU.” Beneath the quote, a small gray text box reads “Interfaith Statement in Support of Trans, Intersex, and Nonbinary People, Nov. 12, 2025.” The UUA flaming chalice logo appears in black over the Progress Pride flag, and “http://UUA.org ” is centered at the bottom in a dark blue rectangle.

I'll get back to "party unity" as soon as the Senate Minority Leader tells us if he voted for the Democratic party nominee for mayor of his city.

I'm tired of party unity only ever running one way.

Counterpoint: The sooner Democratic senators start representing their constituents and fighting the damn fascists instead of rolling over, the likelier our victory in November. You have failed us.

We cannot afford a divided and weak opposition party when an authoritarian is invading our cities, terrorizing our communities, and corruptly self-enriching at the expense of the rest of us. We want to celebrate a Democratic Party that fights back. But after this latest surrender, the next step is primaries and new leadership. We get the party we demand, and we intend to demand one that fights.

If you think the president is a tyrant and you're running for office to oppose him the only platform you can have is "Give us enough votes to impeach and remove this menace." Otherwise what's the point of electing you?

There is a fascinating twenty page article in the Ecclesiastical Law Journal explaining how they figured this out, which involved tracing 900 years of history for a chapel built 500 years ago.
