Wearing PJs and slippers when you fly is now official resistance tactic.
Sean Duffy: "Dressing with respect -- whether it's a pair of jeans and a decent shirt, I would encourage people to maybe dress a little better which encourages us to maybe behave a little better. Let's try not to wear slippers and pajamas as we come to the airport."

JD Vance and Peter Thiel are running a sustained operation out of the White House designed to acquire Greenland, either voluntarily or by force. Thiel has laid out plans for what he intends to do with the island nation in past writings. It doesn't entail the consent of the Greenlanders for anything.

I deleted my Facebook account 8 years ago and don’t miss it at all. Build your community outside of the fashy algorithm and you won’t miss it too.

I did this in the early 90s! Started a gift-wrapping table to raise funds for a local org providing practical services for people living with HIV/AIDS. It became an annual tradition and after a few years the Seattle-area B&Ns picked it up.

Mark Kelly is not an ally. He’s enriching himself with cheap talk while he votes with the GOP. Y’all losing your minds over his “strong words” aren’t paying attention to what he does, just what he says.

If Trump were linked to the rape and abuse of boy children, the moral outrage would be deafening.

This is excellent. Pay for those 17-cent ice scrapers with coins and extend this campaign through Black Friday. Be the disruption.
In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

Federal prosecutors have filed a new indictment in response to a July 4 noise demonstration outside the Prairieland ICE detention facility in Alvarado, Texas, during which a police officer was shot.

When our starting pay is this low and our scheduled hours don’t qualify us for benefits, the numbers just don’t add up. Starbucks has a higher CEO-to-worker pay gap than ANY business in the S&P 500. It would cost them less than a single day’s sales to finalize a fair contract!

In 11 years, Marjorie Taylor Greene will turn 62 and start living with a basic income floor for the rest of her life of about $1,230 a month, thanks to having served 5 years in Congress.

5 years ago, her net worth was around $700k. It's now around $22 million.

Just some facts to know.
