@AlliFlowers @1finekitty right?! Kids will just get on it outside the home. It'll make things MORE dangerous.

The opening up of Arizona's Oak Flat to copper mining would wipe out generations of Apache religion, culture and wisdom. #indigenousrights #environment https://progressive.org/op-eds/we-cant-let-oak-flat-get-sold-mining-companies-garcia-230410/

Arcturus (XBB.1.16) in the United States as we pretend the pandemic is over.

Today's PSA: (because, apparently, this is shocking to people). It's OK for corporations to make less money. It's OK for shareholders to receive less value.

No, they don't have to raise prices on their consumers. No, they don't have to cut wages or benefits. They're choosing to.

If your perpetually ascending profit model only works because you exploit your labor, then your profit model deserves no sympathy, fretting, or hand-wringing.

You can, and should, make less profit.

@AlliFlowers @1finekitty That's what I was going to say. Lol.

Ms. Huckabilly is apparently ignorant when it comes to computers, the Internet, and how things work. In contrast to the minors she hopes to control, who grew up on the Internet and can easily work around anything she comes up with and escape detection. She's a fool and it shows.

With Sen. Dianne Feinstein requesting to be temporarily replaced on the Judiciary Committee as she recovers from shingles, Senate Democrats on Thursday began working to break the logjam that has held up critical judicial nominations for weeks. https://trib.al/ABjrLMu #news #worldnews

Zachary Rehl, one of the Proud Boys on trial for seditious conspiracy, testified this week. I unpack this for @emptywheel below.
Though Rehl confidently insisted there was "no plan" for 1/6, a lack of consistency in his testimony raises questions.

I somehow got an email from MTG… She’s arguing that Trans rights “erase” women’s rights. Ironic, coming from someone who wants to take away women’s rights. She’s so stupid that her arguments against Trans rights actually reinforce the need for both Trans and women’s rights. It would be laughable if it wasn’t so terrifying. These people are crazy and dangerous.

Incredible and deeply troubling. Measles isn’t a cute childhood illness. 774 children were hospitalised over 2019-2020 outbreak. Children die from it. Fuck VFF. Fuck Steiner Schools. Fuck Wakefield. Fuck the anti-vaxx churches. https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/487910/study-shows-declining-mmr-vaccine-rates-for-children-amid-measles-outbreak-fears

So like Harlan Crow bought Clarence Thomas's mom's house to create a Clarence Thomas Library full of memorabilia

Harlan Crow collects and displays the memorabilia of fascists

I feel like there's a connection here

Some of the most pleasant days are the hot days before everything warms up and cold days before everything cools down. Those who can differentiate temperature from heat known what I mean.

Don't forget slamming donors with a default recurring donation! #Trump and #WinRed should both be destroyed.

Could Trump’s fundraising emails add to his legal trouble? https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/04/13/trump-emails-fundraising-jack-smith/

So the leader of our right-wing political party thinks it's cool to steal and show off classified docs, which now makes it cool for other right-wing folks online to steal and show off classified docs, thus endangering America's national security and military operations? Got it.
