Resign @schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social you useless cowards. Not another dime for any of DNC candidates until you both resign.
"Craven and conformist Democratic Party leadership — coloring inside corporate lines while enmeshed with rich backers — hardly offers a plausible way to ... advance a humane political agenda."
While millions have rallied and continually demanded strong opposition to fascistic policies, congressional Democrats have lagged far behind. Nowhere has the gap been more evident than in the Senate, where Chuck Schumer remains the minority leader despite his obvious failures to meet the moment.

Just like Mobuto Sese Seko and Muammer Gaddafi. Quick plaster Plantir's logo on a stadium so he can be just like Pinochet.
Plantir is working on biometrics software like DHS, but specifically for tracking immigrants and people based on criteria like politics, race, sex orientation and religion to help Trump administration discrimination and purging.

It's not most ppl's fault, and I'm not pointing fingers at anyone, or shitting on the joys of fandom, but it's depressing that success for media is often judged by how much branded plastic merch it can move.

A co-worker had shingles. She was out of work for a month. Do you have that much PTO?
I am baffled by this because I have had so many friends with shingles and NONE of them made it sound fun. Not one. A vaccine that made me absolutely miserable for 48 hours would still be a huge improvement over the mildest case of shingles I've heard of. (Also it made me tired for 1 day.)
All over my FB people talking about their bad experiences with shingles vax and dissuading each other from getting it! We need to give people real info on how to mitigate the symtoms caused by vaccines because vaccines are always better than meeting a virus unprepared. Yet drs aren't coaching ppl

Average wage for architects circa 2022 was $112k/year. So in order to save (double chks math) $55 dollars an hour, companies want us to buy houses with the bathtub in the laundry room and lacking front doors.
boy oh boy, maybe the savings will trickle down and we'll all pay $55 less on houses.

If some guy stole my shit and made millions off it while wiping out my job prospects, and you, as my friend, bought that guy's cheap mass market replica of my shit, you and i would for obvious reasons have a problem. It being a massive company, not a guy, actually makes it even more of a problem.

Didn't want to hijack another person's post so I will post this here in the hopes it helps other broke-BROKE caregivers.
Thrift stores, esp. the non-corporate types like Goodwill, have piles of Adult Diapers. I'm guessing they wind up there after estate clean outs.

I work at a coffee shop. Guess who's there at 5am in their Uber vehicles, in their hospital courier vehicles, in their caregiver uniforms, in their construction safety gear, in the lull between their overnight job and their day?
This is so gross. Anyone who has lived in Minnesota (Minneapolis/St. Paul specifically) will tell you that the Somali population there is among the kindest and hardest-working people you'll ever meet.
Trump on Minnesota's Somali community: "They contribute nothing. I don't want them in our country, I'll be honest with you."
