So uh... anybody with a bigger megaphone than me want to help a butch out? The Gilbert Baker Foundation & CMG are asking a settlement from us for referring to the Gilbert Baker flag/original color scheme as the "Gilbert Baker flag" of twice what we've ever made from anything with those colors.

Who has two thumbs and got a legal threat from the lawyers for the Gilbert Baker foundation because he gave credit to Gilbert Baker as the creator of the original Pride flag on items that use that colorway? YEP!

This is accurate and doesn't get explain nearly enough.

I am not kidding. Social Security depends on young workers. Immigration is what keeps it going. These young recent immigrants are not drawing from Social Security right now! Once they start working, they pay INTO it! Why can't anyone SAY that?

Some reduce the 2024 campaign to a contest between two old men, but it's a choice of two slates of federal appointees who'll impact your life in a million ways. Biden has staffed executive agencies with excellent choices who are doing good work. Trump will empower an army of Stephen Millers.

Under current law, you really couldn’t do much better than Biden’s FTC and NRLB. New Deal shit.

Like, no shit, the heritage foundation in tandem with the majority of the justices on this court are actively seeking to dismantle the administrative state as the spear point of an authoritarian fascist power grab & just becasue it makes pundits or pols uncomfortable to say doesn't make it less true

It is long past time for way too many people to realize that we desperately need to either Expand the Supreme Court with actual progressives or actively remove those justices who have committed gross ethical offenses, & replace them people who, y'know, have morals & values beyond "power at any cost"

🚨🚨Lot of news today but this shouldn't get lost. Donald Trump and his advisers are scheming to make military service "mandatory" for Americans. JD Vance appears to be all in too. Get the word out: a #TrumpDraft is coming under #Project2025 👀😳 www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Wait. Are you telling me that the right wing is using these kinds of things strategically to both induce repression on left wing protestors, attack institutions, and create fragmentation among potential democratic voters? Never! People wouldn't be so foolish as to fall for that!

A pro-Israeli demonstrator yelled "Kill the Jews" (seemingly intended ironically) at Northeastern University, which provided the basis for the university to shut down the pro Palestinian protest and arrest 100 people. www.thedailybeast.com/pro-israel-a...

SHOCKING! Look! It worked AGAIN! LONG TERM.

A natural basic income experiment began in the mid-1990s and how the kids — now in their 30s and 40s — are doing is incredible. As adults, they have fewer drug problems and their average IQ is higher. By age 26, the benefits of the UBI exceeded its cost by 3-to-1. academicminute.org/2014/06/jane...
