every single successful general strike in US history has had union backing through the local AFL-CIO

this is the first time it’s been called for since the 1940s

I suspect that a lot of the wealthy owners and operators of national media outlets with kids in private schools fundamentally don't grasp that regular US citizens with kids in the public schools are FURIOUS because ICE is terrorizing THEIR NEIGHBORS and THEIR KIDS' BEST FRIENDS.

Ok, so imagine three snakey-shaped creatures that all branch out from a central point. Two of them, left and right are wrapped around a gently curved ornamented banner, and the third is curled up under all of that. On the left we are looking at a medium blue dragonish snake creature. It has a row of several dark eyes on the side of its head we can see in profile. It has a toothy mouth and stumpy branched horns, with similar stumpy protrusions leading down its spine. It is looking to the right and looking back is the second snakey-beast which is green and striped and its head is an open-mouthed and quite long-eared hare. It has two pairs of front limbs and bunny-ear shaped protrusions in sequence down its spine. The third snake-beast curling around below is basically just a pangolin. Pointy face, big eye, covered in big brown pine cone-like scales with, again, two pairs of heavily-clawed front limbs. and it long, sticky pink tongue curling out. On the banner all this snakiness is wrapping around are the words 'Maybe it will happen today'.

can confirm, Deedee is a delight <3

It's a very bad time to be a legitimate book club or reading group hoping to get authors to pop in for a Zoom call or other appearance. The absolute flood of predatory email spam targeting authors means it all goes into the bin.

Inside you there are two wolves.
We should get a snack.
Yes I agree.

i think this is key. taking the deal would amount to taking the blame. it would turn a clear political victory into an unambiguous defeat.

Again I keep forgetting about my bsky account. I will try to be a bit more active here.

Pritzker compares Trump to Putin, calls for invoking 25th Amendment for suggesting military use Chicago as "training grounds" After President Trump suggested Chicago should be used as "training grounds for our military," Gov Pritzker said the 25th Amendment should be invoked to remove the president from office, saying "there...

"It appears that Donald Trump not only has dementia set in, but he's copying tactics of Vladimir Putin. Sending troops into cities, thinking that that's some sort of proving ground for war.. is just, frankly, inane and I'm concerned for his health"

A picture of the Kpop Demon Hunters wielding their magical demon-slaying weapons alongside three pictures of 40K Grey Knights wielding *their* magic demon-slaying weapons.

Today, my daughter excitedly pointed out that my Grey Knights models have magic blue weapons, *just like the Kpop Demon Hunters.*

She was delighted to learn that the Grey Knights are also demon hunters. So, basically, Kaldor Draigo is Rumi.
