we have no money for real journalism, but we somehow have endless funding for little billionaire-backed infotainment projects designed to make the extraction class feel good about themselves and their boundless innovation
We don’t typically get organic support anymore, just automated donations. This is exactly my design! But that means that as these recurring donations get canceled every other day, I don’t know how to meet these emergencies.
A very accurate flowchart
Just putting this out there for future reference, my commissions are basically always open, even if I'm not actively promoting them at the time.

I always thought Sun Tzu's "Art of War" was a little simplistic and obvious but it turns out yes, you do literally need to tell the Secretary of War "you need to feed your troops and keep them from being wiped out by preventable diseases"

It changes Black people's faces. This has now happened to TWO colleagues.
“It said the 80% of Ohioans on the lower rungs of the income ladder will save at most $42 a year. Meanwhile, the top 1% — those making $1.8 million or more — will save on average $6,424.”

9. If your hospital ended trans youth care, you will want to send them this decision right away. And if your city or state has nondiscrimination laws, they will be implicated now that Hospitals lose their justification to discriminate.

Remember this from last week?
South Carolina's Freedom to Read Group has an outstanding response worth replicating.
Libraries don't have to buy these books. They can actively push back against publishers who are not helping libraries–bedrocks of their survival!–weather censorship.
No amount of AI literacy can protect us because the problem isn’t knowledge, or how to use the system, it’s that the system exists in a culture that has been radically structured around white supremacy and patriarchy and your precious autocomplete incorporates it into its operations.
Last month, many teachers signed up to access ZEP resources on the Red Scare.
Amidst hate speech from the White House & accusations that educators are “indoctrinating” students, many seek lessons to teach about McCarthyism and its modern echoes.

1. This weekend, a federal judge permanently blocked funding threats to providers and hospitals that provide trans youth care.
The judge also blocked "any similar policy."
Hospitals have NO excuse and must return to providing care under many blue state laws.

This bundle's already at 43% of its goal and the first day isn't even over yet! Why not help us get even closer and, in the process, support a bunch of indie creatives and get 94 works of lesbian awesomeness!
can't help but suspect that a disturbing number of people believe that NASA builds its own rockets from scratch
"this private company built a rocket and couldn't deliver it's satellite to the right orbit, lol" I have bad news for you about the builders of the Space Launch System
A clip from The New York Times reads: "But only the entities that officially paid the tariffs are eligible to recover that money. That means that the fuller universe of people affected by Mr. Trump’s policies — including millions of Americans who paid higher prices for the products they bought — are not able to apply for direct relief. The extent to which consumers realize any gain hinges on whether businesses share the proceeds, something that few have publicly committed to do. Some have started to band together in class-action lawsuits in the hopes of receiving a payout."
The average American family paid $1,700 in tariffs last year, according to the bipartisan Congressional Joint Economic Committee. Few will ever see any of that money back. The refunds will go to companies, if doled out at all. What a joke.
Breaking: HHS’s ban on gender-affirming care is struck down. Rarely have I read a ruling this sharply worded.

There are many reasons I believe in the separation of Church and State and "you can't disagree with the head of state, that's against theology" is probably the most prominent "absolutely not" scenario.
literally out here rationing hamburgers and they're gonna try to tell us that the scariest thing they've ever seen is a tax on second $5mil+ homes you don't even live in
a NYC penthouse would buy me a lot of hamburgers, man
also, you know, as folks mention in the comments: everyone's terrified of losing their employer provided health insurance on top of everything else, just at the moment they decided to destroy subsidies so no one can afford to get insured on the exchange, and covid wrecked so many people's health
Just gonna say that one thing all the people who never came to save us better get ready for:
we connected all across this damn country, and we're not going to stop taking care of each other.
so glad to have these folks in my network now. 💓
