Every action this administration has made must be documented and reversed, and the people who profited from and pushed for these changes must ALSO be held accountable. This is fucking abhorrent.
NOAA is an absolute mess, and it’ll be worse tomorrow. Please help us. There have already been over 1,000 terminations. It’s not just layoffs—Elon Musk and his staffers are trying to completely dismantle us. Today, there were tons of firings, and more are coming tomorrow.
courts mostly are in Trump's pocket though, it will take organized resistance to stop him.
and would you look at that, Elon is cutting the specific functions of government that were investigating all of his bad decisions! "Accountability for thee and not for me"
Really wild how it comes out now that the places DOGE is really disrupting actually only make up a very small percent of the budget, yet they are also agencies that ensure at least some of our infrastructure serves us, instead of the ultra-rich... and they will give tax cuts to the ultra-rich...
A notification went out to the community in Worcester MA about ICE possibly being present at bus stops

"Bathroom" is a loaded term. Obviously we don't gender the bathrooms in our homes, and the idea of gendering a place to piss and shit is inherently ridiculous to me, but bathrooms outside of the home can extend social spaces or provide sanctuary. Free the bathroom, move those functions elsewhere.
strong recommendation for everyone to watch the latest YouTube video from The Leftist Cooks. We must reclaim the community!
I'm pretty sure that my parent's generation (50-60 years old) use this as a reactionary response when they are annoyed at people failing to comply with hegemonic social norms. ("Grow up! that's just how it works!")
Great new video from the excellent Leftist Cooks about modern celebrity culture and power and all that fun stuff youtu.be/T31HKuabyMA
Wanted to share my 1st freelance piece.
In April, Smith students occupied their admin building & others took over the lawn for weeks. I knew this was where the movement needed to go, & I'd hoped writing about it might inspire others to do the same. In May, encampments erupted across the nation.
Since I only have one pretty upsetting post on here I figured I'd also share something that brings me a ton of joy. Listen to this album, it's amazing genevieveartadi.bandcamp.com/album/foreve...
Pretty straightforward, right to the point: www.youtube.com/watch?v=uedy...
My country is failing me, I do not support this genocide.
Good idea, just note that the current version of Bluesky does not support E2EE (end to end encryption) so DMs are not necessarily private.
Just about the only one I know of is Nebula, which is also very centralized. A decentralized YouTube replacement would be awesome, but video is a LOT more resource intensive than just text (and harder to moderate), so it will be hard to replicate without Google's pockets, but possible.
