How many of y'all find Bluesky to be just annoying enough to use that legacy social media continues to be your first choice?

My latest chicken pot pie experiment. Hopefully it's enough gravy and not too much. There's definitely gravy though, so a step in the right direction!

Any one of us could be in the next apartment building that ICE raids in the middle of the night.

Any one of us could be on the next boat that Trump bombs on a whim.

Any one of us could be detained for hours despite being a U.S. citizen.

Authoritarianism hurts all of us.

How Charlie Chaplin used his uncanny resemblance to Hitler to fight fascism It's been 85 years since The Great Dictator first dazzled audiences in 1940. It was a big risk for one of the world's most popular performers to take a stand against fascism on film.

Democrats should ignore the carping of corporate-backed Wall Street Democrats and embrace Zohran Mamdani and other young progressives as the future of the party.

Meta has removed a Chicago ICE-tracking Facebook page.

The move follows Apple and Google removing ICE activity tracking apps from their app stores.

The removals came after a demand from Trump’s DOJ.

That was their method of security.'

Proof of how little executives in charge of cybersecurity actually understand it.

Look at this graph.

The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened.

This is why we must build back union power.

Intuit donated $1 million to Trump’s inauguration.

See how this works?

This was announced as 150 million people across the country were under heat alerts.

Fossil fuel interests spent nearly $100 million on Trump's re-election. Then the industry pumped $19 million into his inaugural fund.

They're cashing in at the expense of the rest of us.
