DHS notice of inspection
DHS employees entered our store this afternoon and served us a Notice of Inspection, demanding copies of I9 forms for each employee.
In 27 years as shopkeepers, we have never been subjected to this type of investigation.
Thank you so much!!
Maybe nobody in the great big world cares about this.
But the public libraries in tiny Jefferson County in Northern Appalachia were in danger of losing their tax funding thanks to right-wing book banners. And we won. The library's funding is safe!!!!!
mamdani is human. he'll fuck up and fail, especially with a hostile press and the giant mess that is nyc's politics. but today is a great day for the brave women who told what cuomo did, and for those of us who care that it should matter. that power shouldn't go to those who hurt the poweless.
aaaaay my car broke down and I'm full time freelance currently, meaning in my broke boy era, now would be a fantastic time to buy one of mine and @llewellynrose.bsky.social's comics or my short story ko-fi.com/A200K80
Look, maybe because of higher tariffs on generic drugs and government shutdowns you'll have to choose between heart palpitations and hunger, but be secure in the knowledge that our government is bailing out a libertarian lunatic who looks like a shady thug from a 70s UK gangster film.
Solidarity!
Voters upheld the Climate Commitment Act by a landslide last year.
Today, the Supreme Court shot down a legal challenge.
As the federal government is abandoning critical climate protections, Washington's leadership is needed now more than ever. This is an important win.
Washington Post dismantled the platform Jamal wrote on. Discarded the fellowship they created in his memory.
They fired me unjustly for speaking the truth.
But Iβll never stop talking about my friend, writer, and amazing human, Jamal Khashoggi.
RIP, Jamal.

Hey authors!! Check to see if you qualify for the Anthropic settlement (ie if your book was stolen to train AI). www.anthropiccopyrightsettlement.com
My immediate first thought was to check if they paid and yep, vindicated!
Three cheers for the Constitution's right to a jury: a federal jury in Los Angeles "took just over an hour to acquit [Brayan] Ramos-Brito of a misdemeanor assault count" in an ICE-scuffle case hinging heavily on the testimony of border sector chief Gregory Bovino, now doing raids in Chicago.
I wrote my corporate tragicomedy "The Ones at the Top Didn't Fall There" during @clarionwest.bsky.social 2021 during an apocalyptic heat wave in tech bro-dominated Seattle. I proceeded to revise it for the next four years. Thrilled to see it in print and can't wait to read everyone else's work!
I second both Noroi (maybe the best FF film aside from Blair Witch Project) and Pulse, which is so gorgeously sad and poetic and SCARY. I like Kiyoshi Kurosawa's other film Cure possibly even more.

He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers. He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries. He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance. He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures. He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power. He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation: For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us: For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States: For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world: For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent: For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury: For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences: For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies: For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments: For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever. He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.
Just gonna keep tapping the sign*

I like those does-this-ever-happen-to-you infomercials where someone's trying to mash potatoes and then a diplodocus crashes through the wall or the potatoes burgeon with eyestalks and thousands of tiny teeth.
My name in lights!! I'm so excited!! Can't wait to read everyone else's.
I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and itβs possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA

I wrote my own Charlie Kirk obituary, and about valuing truth over manners: www.thenation.com/article/poli...
MAGA 3 days ago: Chicago is about to find out the meaning of WAR
MAGA today: the left needs to stop condoning violence
Warnock to RFK jr: "For the first time, we are seeing deaths of children from measles. We haven't seen that in two decades. We're seeing that under your watch. You are a hazard to the health of the American people."
I share the luxury belief that Robert Galbraith would better serve the cause of women's rights by burying herself under her big piles of money and never publicly speaking again.
You mean "Robert Galbraith," staunch defender of female identity?
