I used to do something similar with my pics in the 90s and early 2000s.

Crazy how wrong people like this always are. Btw "the Genocide people" here means anti-genocide voters.

100+ farm workers from across CA want to be in Fresno as our case against the Trump Admin’s wage cuts is heard in federal court. They'll rally in front of the courthouse. We need funds for buses, vans, food & water for them.

🚨 STOP THE MEGA-MERGER: Paramount and Warner Bros. Discovery are trying to consolidate into one massive media titan. We’ve seen this movie before (AOL/Time Warner, AT&T/WB) and it always ends in mass layoffs, cancelled projects, and higher sub prices. It’s time to act. 🧵 #StopTheMerger #Antitrust

When you build a machine to target people based on gender, race, or any other identity, it ends up targeting Jews too.

New deposition testimony shows a DOGE staffer flagged a Holocaust documentary—about Jewish women forced into slave labor by the Nazis—for termination.

His reason is shocking.

🧵

This is Nathan Cavanaugh, another DOGE staffer explaining how he flagged grants at NEH for "DEI" which would be reviewed for termination. 404 Media has reviewed hours of this footage and we'll have more soon.

GNU Sir Terry Pratchett <3 all well wishes to young Sam

Eleven years since you crossed the black sands. I wish I could say that the world is better than you left it (although it will always be better for having had you in it) but at least there is a new Young Sam to help carry on the Pratchett name and ethos. Love you always ❤️

"FOR I CAN SEE THE BALANCE AND YOU HAVE LEFT THE WORLD MUCH BETTER THAN YOU FOUND IT, AND IF YOU ASK ME, said Death, NOBODY COULD DO ANY BETTER THAN THAT…"

Hopefully that changes!

Looks like now that they got squashed yet CA is still getting right wing politics, its the perfect time for NDP to find their Mamdani/Polanski that I'm sure is in their ranks- not just savvy but w a firey heart, and support them! "You voted Lib to ward off Con, but they have failed you in return"

Three people celebrate and pose outside of their Starbucks store, where they won their union election.

No better feeling that organizing with your coworkers and WINNING 😌✌️

🎈CONGRATULATIONS to Annapolis Harbour baristas in Maryland who won their union election tonight! They're joining over 10,000 of us who are demanding better from Starbucks! ✊

Less than a miracle, I think they just need the right leader, since the parliamentary system actually makes it possible unlike here

Yeaaaa, not great that

Got it. So next thought- do you think NDP could capitalize on the frustration toward Carney's liberals going essentially rightwing and buddying w trump the same way the UK has reacted to Starmer's Labour by backing Polanski? Are they trying, or?

By nominal 3rd are you considering that NDP? Where does Bloc fit into it for you?

Facebook post by Nekima Levy Armstrong: "Friends, A Breaking News headline just appeared in the Star Tribune, claiming that the national Target boycott ended today. This is false. The writer of the story, Carson Hartzog, is fully aware that the Target boycott was launched in Minneapolis on February 1, 2025. I have spoken to her several times since then, yet she failed to reach out to me, Jaylani Hussein, or Monique Cullars Doty, the three founders of the national Target boycott for the story. Carson even used the photo from our press conference that includes my daughter, Assata Joy and Ms. Rosemary Nevils, an elder in our community, to try to add legitimacy to a bogus story. I am once again disgusted by the Star Tribune and their attempts to minimize and erase the voices of our community. The nationwide Target Boycott is not over, unless and until Target reverses its decision to rollback Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, as we said from the beginning. “Pastor” Jamal Bryant does not speak for us or our community and has zero authority to end the nationwide boycott of Target, a company that is headquartered in Minneapolis. Please don’t believe the hype and these attempts to rescue Target from the effects of capitulating to the Trump Administration. Target rolled back DEI because of Donald Trump. They donated $1 million to the Trump/Vance inauguration committee. Target also allowed ICE to stage in its parking lots during Operation Metro Surge. The nationwide boycott of Target is successful and it will continue. Please continue to shop elsewhere."

Nekima on the Target boycott.

Side note, I do think if Jill Stein left the US Greens and they modeled themselves after Polanski's UK Eco-Socialist Greens they'd be doing much better here. The power of virality and of speaking intelligently and plainly rather than dodgy nonsense is quite great

I know why the US is nearly impossible to have a new/third party emergence like the UK, but what about Canada? Is Canada as stacked toward two parties as the US?

the important thing i think is that they get comfortable now with living in federal facilities

When an overseas business is doing business in the US, they are subject to US law for the labor and business done here. Do you seriously think our country would allow anything different? Many chinese owned studios record union in the US- You have once again been fed propaganda.

Pretty crazy how important the blockade of a trade route is right now

You were fed what they wanted you to see unfortunately. They want you against unions in gaming- we were actually more organized than in any other strike, and our new president Sean Astin is making things even better.

Respectfully, you aren't in this union. We are. We know the contracts and we know that we have a large amount of protection against AI from our union and literally have the word of our union lawyers that they will pursue as necessary- we fought hard for it. Union contracts also pay more fairly.

Its well deserved <3

Anyway feel free to Quote this with your own, it was born from a conversation I was having with my friends!
