I just had a vision of the old woman from the princess bride coming up the aisle during the oath, shouting “Liar!”

What really happened after California raised its minimum wage to $20 for fast food workers What would happen to the fast food industry if it had to pay its workers something closer to a living wage?

1. In April 2024, California raised the minimum wage for fast food chains to $20/hour

The industry claimed it would be devastating & require significant job cuts and prices increases

Here is what really happened: workers got a raise, prices went modestly, and the industry continued to add jobs

Donald Trump didn’t win by a historic landslide. It’s time to nip that lie in the bud | Mehdi Hasan In 2024, we have a new post-election lie – Trump didn’t just win, Republicans say, but he won big. He won a landslide. That’s false

"Repeat after me: there was no 'landslide'. There was no 'blowout'. There was no 'sweeping' mandate given to Trump by the electorate. The numbers don’t lie."

My new Guardian op-ed on the new GOP election lie - and why it's important to rebut it! I brought (lots of) receipts:

Tell the Senate: RFK Jr. is a bad choice for children's health. The nomination of vaccine conspiracy theorist RFK Jr. for Secretary of Health and Human Services puts America's children at risk. In addition to discouraging parents from vaccinating their children, h...

BREAKING NEWS:

An “unknown and unauthorized third party” has gained access to depositions tied to Matt Gaetz, a source says.

RT if you’re ready to see it. 🍿

Senate Democrats worked late into the night to advance the nominations of more pro-democracy judges. We need them to keep going! Tell your Democratic senators to continue confirming as many judicial nominees as possible before the GOP takes control of the Senate: act.indivisible.org/sign/tell-yo...

Until the democrats attack the excesses of big business and change our economics to truly prioritize average Americans over big money, they will continue to be seen as part of the problem and remain in an electoral dead heat with fascists

Thanks. The picture was a meme with black background and white text. With my eyesight it blended into the text of meme.

I wanted to post a picture today but I couldn’t figure out how to add the alt-text.

Release the Gaetz report.

Pass it on.

I would like to speak up today for the trans community.

You see, I know a bit of what it’s like to be politically scapegoated. When Japan attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941, suddenly anyone in America who had any amount of Japanese ancestry became suspect. Politicians preyed upon ignorance and fear. /1

Donald Trump is now (1) below 50% popular vote and (2) has a margin of popular vote victory roughly HALF of Hillary's victory in 2016. They believe the left has to lay down and shut up because of this "landslide" victory.

Anybody who really believed 45 wants to wipe out corruption anywhere hasn’t been paying attention. He just wants to control it for his own profit.

"An informational poster about the 'North American Fiber-Seeking Backhoe' (Backhoe fili-comedens), presented in a humorous tone as though the backhoe were an invasive species. The image features a large green excavator in a snowy field, with details on its 'habitat' (urban and suburban areas), 'diet' (primarily fiber optic cables), and 'weight' (13,000 to 25,000 lbs). A map shows its range across North America. The poster humorously describes the backhoe's appetite for buried cables and mentions related 'species' like the European Fiber-Seeking Backhoe. The IUCN status is labeled as 'Too #%$& Many,' reflecting its prevalence. The design is styled like an ecological or wildlife conservation infographic.

The North-American Fiber-Seeking Backhoe; the scourge of people who make the internet run in the US.
Fun fact, every continent has a species, too. they're everywhere

Looking at the Bluesky account, I learned that they expect this problem to resolve soon
