Los Angeles is one of the cities where progress toward public banking is greatest. The city is now conducting a feasibility study.

Both the new mayors of New York and Seattle, Zohran Mamdani and Katie Wilson, are public banking advocates.

So awesome to see the crafty posts on here! I need to get back into making stuff. I especially want to get back into making jewelry again (I think when I get paid on Monday I need to start hunting for more supplies) & restart my little business I had 10 years ago selling handmade & vintage jewelry!

Finally finished the matchstick quilting section of this quilt. I am not the biggest fan of the technique as its both time consuming and tedious, but I do love the resulting texture. #quiltsky

If you have all your direct deposit & autopay hooked up to a regular bank & can’t move it all at once, you can move your savings account money to a credit union (if you have a savings acct). Just make sure you keep enough money in your checking account at the bank to avoid fees, til you close it.

Another big benefit of banking with credit unions is usually they usually give you a good amount of interest on your deposits whereas most banks give virtually nothing. They also support home and car loan programs that tend to strengthen the surrounding community, so your money’s put to better use.

I don’t feel like I’m the best person to give advice on it but others have recommended banking with local/worker-owned credit unions whose risk profiles are lower. And avoiding small/mid banks taking big risks. And maybe even large banks taking big risks—they might not be bailed out like under Obama

Our leader can marry immigrants and keep the spouse but not lowly Americans! You hypocrites!
I need everybody to read this and understand what’s going on. These are spouses of US citizens in the country legally. They have entry clearance and green cards, they’ve passed background checks and have no criminal records. ICE is taking them anyway.

You really have to look at something like this, only 4 years ago, in the Telegraph, to remind yourself how low the "men in dresses perving in toilets" discourse has sunk.

I often talk about “stitching” so I thought you might like to see one of my pieces. I am fascinated by moss, lichen and fungi so try to interpret what I see with stitches and beads.

US Citizenship and Immigration Services is indefinitely halting all immigration requests involving Afghan refugees.

They are pretending that they are doing this in response to today's shooting in DC—but in fact, they ordered this *before* the shooting.

They create crises, then capitalize on them.
The folks at @afghanevac.bsky.social have in hand a new USCIS directive which largely targets Afghan refugees who fled the Taliban in the wake of the U.S. withdrawal in 2021.

In case you needed a reminder that the most loathsome people in the world work for DHS.

In 2012, a Conservative government awarded April Ashley, a trans woman, an MBE for "services to trans equality".

How far are we from a Labour government revoking that award, because trans people don't deserve equality?
the bbc changed their article from saying 'trans woman' to saying 'biological male who identifies as a woman'.

even if you don't care about trans ppl it should alarm you just how captured the bbc has become.

they will no longer even say 'trans woman'. that's not normal and shows massive bias.
