There has never been an official, comprehensive record of Black-owned bookstores across the United States — until now

Two panel comic. Panel 1: a museum display of a megalodon jaw fossil, with some museum goers standing around it. There is a graphic on the information tablet next to the fossil, depicting the approximation of the megalodon’s full size compared to a human. Panel 2: “3.6 million years ago:” we see the true megalodon as it existed, a small shark with ludicrously large, juicy lips.

Chadwick Boseman and James van der Beek both died in their 40s of an illness that's treatable if a colonoscopy catches it but almost no insurer covers them for people under 45, this is what Engels meant by "social murder"

Happy birthday to one of my favourite haters, Charles Darwin

I will not support any funding deal that puts money in the hands of Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, and this violent agency. Defund and abolish ICE now.

IWW IU 520 (Railroad Workers) PRESENTS: TROLLEY PROBLEM SOLUTION "Slip the switch" by flipping it while the trolley's front wheels have passed through, but before the back wheels do. This will cause a controlled derailment bringing the trolley to a safe halt.

Union workers solved the trolley problem, you're welcome

There was a big ICE Out event in Lewiston Maine today

@pingree.house.gov was there even tho Lewiston isn't her district (close by)

Know who wasn't there? @golden.house.gov. Not only his CD. It's his hometown that ICE is attacking

@senangusking.bsky.social wasn't there either. No surprise
