Tired while Black

Hey y’all can you please leave a comment on this. It’s to oppose Trump and his government fucking up the census www.federalregister.gov/public-inspe...

Nobody is saying silly little treats are wrong. My issue is with a whole ecosystem of cheesy manufacturers sending junk to phony influencers who lie about the quality and get people to buy under false expectations. This is a consumer protection issue.

Virginia is poised to add marriage equality to its constitutional law, in case SCOTUS overturns Obergefell. The Family Research Council is worried this will "enshrine gender ideology" and "deface Christ and his Bride." www.joemygod.com/2026/10/past...

This is a pretty good article, and what needs more aggressive coverage is just how godawful applicant tracking systems actually are. They were bad when I was working HR nearly 20 goddamn years ago and amazingly, in the intervening time they have gotten WORSE.

The more I learn about nyc ballot props 1 & 3 the more passionate I am about the need to pass them. Talk to your friends about the ballot measures! The @hellgatenyc.com explainer is the best. www.instagram.com/p/DfAmjY7FGr... I mean look at this! Just petty rich guys who hate street life. AND

There it is. We are finally here. Trump has formally announced his desire to cancel a U.S. election. We said he would do this, and now he has. It doesn't matter that he probably can't. Or that he'll lose in court. The point is that we've crossed a line with respect to American democracy.

I really hate the "Mommy doesn't disappear" theory because it means she covered her face on purpose to trick me

I am Clayton County, Georgia and have been talking to older Black voters outside a polling place and ahead of this Obama rally and can confirm: older Black voters to a tee are FURIOUS about the Supreme Court killing the Voting Rights Act. This is the home of John Lewis and MLK.

“the blue wave is big enough to swamp multiple gerrymanders and give dems a huge majority” should not blind dems to the fact that the map is still tilted against them in a normal year and they had better keep fighting fire with fire on the gerrymandering front

Excellent advice. The users of MPTP accidentally advanced our understanding of Parkinson's Disease by developing a virulent form of the disease overnight after taking a designer drug in the 80s. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

Felon Trump has put a target on the Somali community, especially in Minnesota, which has the largest Somali population in the US. Exec. Dir. of CAIR-MN, @jaylanihussein.bsky.social joins me to dispel the lies & to explain the enduring strength of the Somali community. youtu.be/dd86-3_hegs?...

Following a wave of primary victories by progressive candidates, Spanish-speaking right-wing pundits claim that democratic socialists are sowing the “seeds” of communism in America.

"The bumbling sideshows the Government provided (...) did not even slightly resemble the 'ordered hearing.'"

Another big win for @katiephang.bsky.social To get a pause, Blanche’s DOJ had to show the DC Circuit it was likely to win & would be irreparably harmed by starting the review The court wasn’t buying it -- Time to start translating -TN

Amazing thread

The Department of Health and Human Services is loosening of restrictions on six unproven peptides. These substances have long been touted by biohackers for their purported health benefits, but the evidence is patchy at best sciam.com/article/rfk-...

I’m probably going to rewatch Long Story Short because it was a genuinely beautiful family drama about a Jewish family and how the 3 children explored their relationship with their parents, faith and love as they grow up I have tried to convince my mother to watch but it’s “a cartoon”

Concern trolling as a form of union-busting is such a funny strat, because it's self-contradictory. Either management genuinely has the well-being of workers in mind, in which case they have no reason to lowball them in negotiations. Or they don't, in which case they're probably lying.

Also Moody's ratings. Moody's rates bonds, institutions, etc. based on corporate finance markers. For higher ed, negative markers are high percent of tenured fac, unions, dips into endowmt/rainy day funds. Positive markers, union busting and contingent/adjunct faculty. www.moodys.com/researchandr...

Another day another Critical Reflex not addressing the allegations one iota

The most obvious way is admitting new Dem leaning states (DC and USVI) and having the House draw its own map (a Dem gerrymander) for 2030.

Driving around Ireland seeing posters in various localities opposed to replacing cattle grazing land with solar panels because it ”ruins the environment”

Debora Juarez is railing against unknown people who have said the $68 million added to the police budget was all new cops (it's mostly officers' 42 percent salary increases, as we've reported repeatedly) "Post 2020" people assaulted firefighters, Juarez says.

The fire department is definitely more beloved than police for obvious reasons, but one huge reason the fire department is short-staffed is that many, many firefighters were babies about the COVID vaccine; there was even an entire fake-vaccine card scheme among firefighters

I've written about firefighters' excessive use of overtime in the past. It's also noteworthy that the fire department itself suggested these cuts, then came back to lobby against them. publicola.com/2025/01/24/n...
