A poster on a concrete wall features two bold illustrations stacked vertically. The top half, with a pink background, shows a large black fish chasing a scattered group of smaller fish. Below it, the words “DO NOT PANIC” are written in bold, capital letters. The bottom half, with a yellow background, shows the same small fish now swimming together in the shape of a large fish, facing the original predator. The caption below reads “ORGANIZE.” The image is a powerful call for collective action and solidarity, inspired by a famous 1960s political poster by artist Frank Cieciorka.

Tip of the day!

Headline: ICE came for their neighbor so these Tennesseans formed a human chain to protect him

I can't emphasize enough that the most important thing journalists can do right now is publish exactly this kind of article

I wish I didn’t believe this…but I doubt there will be any elections in the US in the future I can see.

The next era will be women / femmes building into wealth+ power, especially physically.

We already see the push back: Pressure for women be super thin and weak — literally unable to fight and protect themselves and others.

Seeing more women pick up strength training / martial arts is a shift.

Oh, definitely! So few electeds are stepping up in this moment—those who are should definitely get sung to. Don't make me do it alone, people. Or with @alecconnon.bsky.social. @repjasmine.bsky.social deserves better than that!

Great idea! Maybe Vancouver residents attend virtually.

At SXSW, Bluesky CEO Jay Graber pokes fun at Mark Zuckerberg with Latin phrase T-shirt | TechCrunch When Bluesky CEO Jay Graber walked on stage at SXSW 2025 for her keynote discussion, she wore a large black T-shirt with her hair pulled back into a bun.

Graber’s shirt — which directly copies the style of a shirt that Zuckerberg wore onstage recently — says Mundus sine caesaribus. Or, “a world without Caesars.”

Debunking Minimum Wage Myths Since 1995 "These are the invisible workers of America, tens of millions of them, working harder than they have ever worked before and barely making it. They keep America going — we should keep them going." Watch my 1995 speech busting right-wing minimum wage myths.

"These are the invisible workers of America, tens of millions of them, working harder than they have ever worked before and barely making it."

Watch Robert Reich's 1995 speech busting right-wing minimum wage myths.

While a potential solution for the wrongfully terminated employees, this would simply further the Trump/Musk goal of privatization, which almost always costs taxpayers more.

🚨 BREAKING: UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky just signed a landmark agreement providing Ukraine’s military with $3.3 billion in support.

Can't make this up: The creators of the video intended it as «satire,» though not necessarily «critical,» because they see Trump's plans for ethnic cleansing as «one of the few forward-thinking policy proposals». Also, they're angry that Trump stole their «content because it was made by artists.»

I was just remembering when we thought George bush was baddest.

As a nonbinary person who is the size of an average man & who switches back & forth between men’s & women’s clothes I can very confidently tell you they are charging more for crappier materials on the women’s side of things

The Tech CEOs Who Want a DOGE for Canada | The Tyee Many supporters of a lobby group called Build Canada are also interested in Elon Musk’s effort to slash government spending.

I thought maybe “The tech CEOs who want a DOGE for Canada” might be an example of just trying to link Canadian movements to American ones but literally the first line is a tech CEO saying “I want DOGE to exist in Canada” thetyee.ca/News/2025/02...

Breaking: Trump's full trans military ban has just dropped. Quickly reading it, it appears to be a full separation from the military for all transgender military members, and states being trans is inconsistent with "honesty, humility, uniformity, and integrity."

Touché. I meant to clarify things a real post of his. The only social I have is BlueSky.
