Disney World employs about twice as many people as the entire coal industry.

Lighting the climate on fire, ruining the environment, and making people sick so that 39,000 Manly Men can stay employed in a dying industry is so dumb.

Great, ANOTHER bill to “prohibit the approval of new abortion drugs, to prohibit investigational use exemptions for abortion drugs, and to impose additional regulatory requirements with respect to previously approved abortion drugs”

Call your reps, this one needs to end in committee.

Stop New York's Attack on 3D Printing New York's proposed 2026-2027 budget currently includes provisions that will require all 3D printers sold in the state to run print-blocking censorware—software that surveils every print for

ICE detained more than 70 Minnesota children, data reveals Immigration officials detained more than 70 Minnesota children between Dec. 1 and March 10, a Sahan analysis of court records and federal deportation data shows.

This was never about the worst of the worst.

We have continually demanded answers about how many of our children were taken into federal detention. Trump’s DHS has continually refused to give us information.

Starting July 1 there will be new limits on student loans for MLS students under the limited understanding of what fits as a "professional" degree.

This limit is going to further restrict access to the field.

It's 4/20! Let me remind you why marijuana was criminalized to begin with: 

"We knew we couldn't make it illegal to be either against the war or blacks, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did.”

- John Erlichman, senior advisor to Nixon

Iggy Pop is 79 today and still at it, an indescribable one-of-one who's been one of my interview Holy Grails for decades. A decade ago, I ranked his catalog (Stooges albums included, so #1 will be no surprise) for @stereogum.com.
