Social media created this nonsense idea that not exposing yourself to hatred is isolationist. Choosing to not spend your free time with bigots isn’t living in a bubble. I don’t need to know what’s going on at X. I won’t be smarter or more knowledgeable or empathic by being there. Neither will you.
NDTC CEO @kellyndtc.bsky.social: "Want to stop ICE? Run for school board. Run for county supervisor. Run for state rep." Thousands of local seats are up in 2026—and filing deadlines are approaching. Your community needs you on the ballot.

We made the call, and 25,146 of you spoke up: Take ICE out of the Consolidated Appropriations Act.
Thank you for speaking up and speaking out, loud and clear. We delivered your message this morning. Never doubt that your voice makes a difference; it always has and always will.
Subscribing, while also feeling that Straight From La Hut woulda been dope
UPDATE! More numbers are in: NDTC has trained over 900+ winners in 2025. Thank you to everyone who stepped up to serve their community, and let's keep this energy going into 2026.
On this Independence Day, we honor the courage of those who built our democracy and those who continue to strengthen it today.
To every NDTC learner stepping up to serve their community, thank you for carrying forward our Nation’s highest ideals.
please suggest: who should i get on the radio show to talk about climate justice and "international" "development" (big scare quotes) … debt, loss and damage, climate reparations, etc
Old mobile phones and keyboards. Overlaid text reads: FT Exclusive: EU issues US-bound staff with burner phones to avoid espionage

i have argued before that MAGA is recapitulating antebellum pro-slavery ideas about citizenship and bodily autonomy. one thing i am also thinking about, when it comes to the rendition of people to a foreign gulag, is the way it is reminiscent of the kidnapping of free blacks for sale into slavery
ICE is a gat damn goon squad. Shame on any and everyone who shows up to work there
This is indeed the plan. Loyalty to that pos n his cronies will be rewarded. Those who don’t?
Mind you, many “pick mes” have already shown that they are okay being sacrificed now as long as the real targets in the long term are not white ppl.
nothing can possibly prepare oneself for the crumbling sensation of feeling like any and all futures you dreamed of just vanished into thin air
These ten Democrats should just quit. To censure Green when there have never been consequences for MTG for egregious behavior whereas Green was protesting fascism. We are drowning in shit.

when news outlets use “trans issues” as shorthand, it is deeply inaccurate every single time
1) policies that impact trans people affect all people
2) it explicitly states trans existence is an “issue”
3) “trans” is an adjective, not a noun, so by using it you are instantly objectifying a people
In response, Ben Jealous, Executive Director at the Sierra Club, issued the following statement: “President Trump’s belief that tariffs alone will help revitalize American manufacturing is simply not rooted in basic economics. What’s more, his chaotic approach to tariffs, wielding them for objectives like border security or to encroach on Canadian sovereignty, undermines their legitimate use as a tool for responsible trade policy. A strategic approach to using tariffs to reinvigorate U.S. industry would include strong domestic investments in manufacturing and the clean energy economy, ensuring trade partners abide by the same high environmental and labor standards as American companies, and plans to continue sourcing critical materials that we don’t make enough of, like aluminum for cars and solar panels, from our closest allies.”
As Canada & Mexico tariffs go into effect, Sierra Club's @benjealous.bsky.social says the chaotic approach will hurt US workers & manufacturers.
“Trump’s belief that tariffs alone will help revitalize American manufacturing is simply not rooted in basic economics."

Farmers are going to run to Congress for another handout to deal with the retaliatory tariffs and the answer from Dems has to be "no."
This isn't out of retribution, it's because we can't keep creating escape hatches for GOP members of Congress. For the benefit of all, keep the pressure on them.
“That is why Trumpists are so focused on “ending DEI” in the federal workforce. They see anti-discrimination and inclusion as a ladder of upward mobility for people they do not believe should have one.”
Condé Nast management will start requiring employees to be in the office 4 days a week on 3/3, allegedly to make us more productive. Yet for months, many of us have gone without desks, often being forced to work from the cafeteria, HR floor or hallways.

Oil produced in the U.S. doesn't mean oil used in the U.S. and certainly doesn't mean lower gasoline prices, because the industry will sell it wherever they'll make the most money, especially with more export infrastructure like this one just cleared by Trump.

There is something really special about catching up on the latest coup updates in the Vegas airport while the squak of an eagle loops on the gambling computers.
