Next time you see someone quote Audre Lorde's 'master's tools' at you, ask them 2 questions: 1. Can you please define what YOU think the master's tools are currently? 2. What else does she say in that essay?

I cannot emphasize enough that straight reporting in the NYT should be verified elsewhere if you want to be sure about it. The standards are appalling.

I’m going to start with the absolutely jaw-dropping news that The New York Times deceptively edited a quote to make it appear that JD Vance opposes a national abortion ban. — @jessicavalenti.bsky.social

Some nice copy here …apparently California now has batteries roughly equivalent to 5 Diablo Canyons (in capacity, not run time…)

"No rolling blackouts or grid emergencies as California continues on path to a carbon free grid. Several strategies, including upgrades to vulnerable parts of the grid at play here, but key enabler is more clean energy, especially solar, and above all, battery storage..." 😀

Some ppl want Biden out because Reagan had Alzheimer's in his second term. I don't think having Kamala Harris and Jill Biden be secret president and vice president is worse than another Trump term

Jerome Powell can become a legend here and lower interest rates every time Trump threatens him. This would be like the macroeconomic version of Trump getting fined every time he defames E Jean Carroll.

The fucked up thing is that you saw the right collectively getting ready to move if this guy was a leftist. It doesn’t matter if 10 maniacs in a row are rightwing and they just shrug and move on, they’re getting ready for the one time it’s not.

As soon as we learned that Crooks was a registered Republican it was clear that the assassination attempt was going to be a two-day story.

And another one. Yeah. Trump isn't gonna be sleeping much. Dude had an AK-47 and a ski mask.

The more and more of these Trump hears about is only gonna make him that much more scared. He's gonna come out wearing a helmet soon and roll around in a Popemobile

I’m not surprised but it’s kind of gutting regardless that it’s not even an issue this campaign. It’s like it never happened at all.

lol it’s four years after the George Floyd protests and all the promises have been abandoned as everything has gotten worse for Black people 🙃🙃🙃🙃

The tl;dr This is union-busting, written as a statute. A company union is not a union, it is a way for management to dilute/interfere with the power of the union. Company unions have been unlawful since 1935, because everyone recognizes it is an attempt to union bust. This is trying to undo that.

Not a populist: GOP VP candidate J.D. Vance introduced the Team Act (with Marco Rubio) to empower companies to establish and dissolve “employee involvement organizations” (a.k.a., company unions), a long-standing goal of GOP business leaders: www.rubio.senate.gov/wp-content/u...
