in 2011, the president of antifa hired me to give fashion consultancy to the organization. i recommended everyone wear navy suits with tan shoes, dress sneakers, and golf polos with slim chinos. if you arrested everyone today wearing these things, you'd destroy antifa

The end of federal enforcement of special ed laws. Some states - including MN - will likely be ok. But a lot of disabled kids in a lot of states are going to lose the education that federal law and decades of jurisprudence say they are owed.

About a month ago, the Trump administration got rid of the de minimis exemption, whereby packages valued under $800 could slide in without import duties. Now there's a backlog as the government can't process all of this paperwork, leading to UPS just destroying packages

Business Insider headline reads: UPS is telling customers that their packages coming to the US are marked for destruction.

Japanese politician Moroi Masahide said, “Foreigners are legally in a different position from Japanese citizens,” and added that “foreigners lack fundamental human rights.” Saitama Prefecture's Governor Ōno immediately rejected the statement.

The lawmaker later backtracked on the statement, saying that he only meant they didn't have "the same rights" as Japanese citizens.

I don't know where this revisionism has come from about the suffragettes - people saying "if the suffragettes were around today, they'd be considered terrorists."

The suffragettes were arrested and tortured, sexually assaulted and beaten by the state. They *were* considered terrorists!

Kickstarter United is on strike!
We are not asking for a boycott! Creators & Allies: Please continue to support & use the platform

Why We're Striking
A codified 4-day work week.
We simply want to protect the way we've been working for over 3.5 years. The 4dww has proven benefits, such as increased productivity and improved employee satisfaction. It's part of what makes Kickstarter a special, innovative place to work.
Fair pay for our lowest-paid workers.
We're fighting for livable minimum salaries for roles that are undervalued by the market but crucial to keeping Kickstarter running. We believe none of our workers should struggle to make ends meet.

Two images of Poster wearing Baby the Stars Shine Bright (BTSSB) / Sleeping Beauty Shirring JSK in black, onto top of the embroidered design of the skirt, in a black x pink lolita fashion coord. "She Is Sleeping" in pink cursive text is between both images. Poster's headbow, blouse, and lace-topped otk-worn-as-utk socks are pink. The JSK and shoes are black (to go with their black curly hair). The right image has them holding a white x pink tote bag
