Only good one was a grocery store I worked at that offered a free loaf of french bread for completing a survey. Employees would fill them out when it was slow and get a free snack for their break 😄 workers gave each other bread codes as a gesture of good will.
In a communistic society it is possible for me to post angrily in the morning, post angrily in the afternoon, post angrily in the evening, post angrily after dinner, just as i have in mind, without ever becoming a poster

The funny thing is the US was been exceptionally good at maintaining an empire, but they were too stupid to see real power when it was right in front of their faces. So they cut it all down and sought power in its most juvenile and weak form.
I can’t imagine how I and my neighbors would feel if you did this to my city, bombed our children, and then we saw your leaders bragging about “raining death and destruction from the sky all day” and saying “the only people who should be afraid are Utahns who think they’re going to live.”

We present the first large-scale assessment of the structure and evolution of temporalities expressed in U.S. climate change news coverage (2000 to 2021). For this, we analyzed more than 23,000 statements about climate change effects and actions. 🧵 1/
seems obvs to me that mamdani gets far because of his charm. why do "male self improvement" types always focus on things like looksmaxxing instead of personalitymaxxing or charmmaxxing?
Infrastructure week here we come!
It looks more and more likely that Utah will have a fair congressional map for the 2026 Midterms. Thanks to all who made this happen and who will keep fighting for fair representation.
Ropes save lives. Please don’t duck ropes at ski resorts and go out of bounds. And for goodness sake, don’t take your kids with you if you chose to go out of bounds. Heartbroken for this girl
Utahns: because the GOP waited until super late to drop signature packets, there’s a chance many of those signatures are from people who were deceived into signing. You have 45 days since the packets were deposited - til March 30 - to get your name removed if you were tricked.
I gasped when I saw how much faster she was today than her competitors (in a very tight race)! Truly la tigre.
Utah's chief election officer, Lt Gov Deidre Henderson, has conducted a review of the state's voter rolls to identify any ineligible voters, including by running her rolls through the DHS SAVE Program. Guess how many non-citizens voted in Utah according to the review? Zero.
Ian McKellen performs “The Strangers’ Case” speech from “Sir Thomas More” on Colbert.
The transcript of the MN hearing where an AUSA said “This job sucks” is remarkable for more reasons than that. It’s a searing portrait of a crisis perpetrated by depraved & oblivious high-level officials. Read it all. ...

GOP-paid signature gatherers are reportedly deceiving people into signing onto the Prop 4 repeal effort by telling them they are signing a petition to keep ICE out of Utah.
Some paid signature gatherers working to place a repeal of Proposition 4 on the ballot have misled or withheld info from voters about what the initiative would do, a KSL investigation shows. https://ow.ly/s77X50Y5Jyz

When I pressed him on it he said he's just doing what he was paid to do.
There was someone on BYU campus yesterday for the UT GOP collecting signatures for the Prop 4 repeal petition. BYU is not a public forum and this violates its political neutrality policy.
In closing, it would be well to remind white America of its debt to Dr. Du Bois. When they corrupted Negro history they distorted American history, because Negroes are too big a part of the building of this nation to be written out of it without destroying scientific history. White America, drenched with lies about Negroes, has lived too long in a fog of ignorance. Dr. Du Bois gave them a gift of truth for which they should eternally be indebted to him.
Dr King also knew Black Reconstruction and recognized its importance:

I make all my sociological theory students read Black Reconstruction and this is why: it gives a shockingly insightful analysis of past and present American politics. Bouie's done the work and it shows.
What better way to declare that ICE won't break your spirit than literally defying the cold with your collective heat.
Worth scrolling through the list of businesses to get a sense of scope. Awe-some.
I know I keep posting about this but every time I check, the list gets longer and longer and longer. Hundreds and hundreds of places, everything from huge local institutions to small spots that will definitely struggle.
No exaggeration, it's the most astonishing act of solidarity I've ever seen.
