Psst: Project 2025 is terrifying for a lot of reasons but also because on page 5 it calls for teachers and librarians who grant access to books that are maligned as pornography (which just means anything LGBTQ) to be registered as sex offenders. Pass it on.

Christ, it's not the repair crews' fault. People need to stop going after the visible parts of organizations who aren't the ones responsible for the failures.

I didn't have to pretend. The USPS is a genuine Public Good. I did fan art for it. I Love the USPS.

Trump was so evil that people had to pretend to stan the U.S. Postal Service for three months

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...

Project 2025 isn’t just unpopular. It’s a lead weight around the Republican party even amongst their own base. I’ve spoken with a number of deep red state Republicans who weren’t fully Maga but we’re definitely on the train and Project 2025 has convinced them to vote Democrat. It’s possible to win.

Okay, I just finished watching episode 2 of Vtuber Legend, and there are two jokes that might have slipped past viewers who aren’t versed in old Japanese pop culture. 1) the “Shuwa-chan” nickname; our heroine says “where have I heard that? It’s Arnold Schwarzenegger’s nickname in Japan. (1/2)

My friend drew this poignant comic back the last time 45 came around, and honestly (and unfortunately), it still holds up.

Using they/them pronouns when you know someone uses other pronouns is actively misgendering them as much as calling someone with they/them pronouns “he” or “she” is.

Hi, gentle reminder that if you *know* a trans or nonbinary person’s pronouns, and those pronouns *aren’t* they/them, you don’t get, like, partial credit for using they/them pronouns for that person. There are no “all-purpose” pronouns, sadly.

People like Vance are why I don't see Trump simply as a cult of personality leading a movement that will die with him so much as an normalizer/enabler of the right's most base impulses. In fact I think they have many more viable people to pass the torch to than Dems, cuz they have a professed cause.
