Not yet in the driver's seat, but AOC continues to fight, speak truth, and run the diagnostics.
"I have a weird relationship with the Democratic Party. I don't believe in a two-party system, but I also understand the Democratic Party is a coalition and if we want the party to change, the balance of the coalition has to change. But right now, you open the hood on the Democratic Party, what you have is, I think, a bit of a power struggle over the last couple of years."

Canceling conferences and meetings in the US makes sense, as being in the US is now not safe for:
- LGBTQ+ (especially trans)
- women (especially pregnant)
- people with non-pale skin
- anyone with a food allergy (FDA is shut down)
- anyone with a compromised immune system (CDC is shut down; important health info is being suppressed)
- non-US-citizens
- anyone flying (as the result of the FAA firings; there have been multiple aircraft crashes since)
& whatever's yet to be announced

I was five or six when the picture tube blew on our black and white tv. It only got three channels, and westerns were going off the air, so my father never replaced it. And that's how I grew up without tv.
"Picture tube blew" was definitely the phrase we used, but yes, I assume something in the CRT stopped working. It might have made a loud snapping noise when it happened, but I could be misremembering. Regardless, the only real option was to get a new tv.
What timing! Early TV was stuck with westerns and not a whole lot else - your tube blew just as things were getting interesting! The three channel VHF thing was pretty common into the 80s when cable took off. The TVs I grew up with also had UHF tuners with a few more channels, but the reception (little loop antenna) was so bad, few bothered with it.
Police Use of Face Recognition Continues to Wrack Up Real-World Harms
Police have shown, time and time again, that they cannot be trusted with face recognition technology (FRT). It is too dangerous, invasive, and in the hands of law enforcement, a perpetual liability.Electronic Frontier Foundation
I think the most frustrating thing about watching Trump do whatever he wants is how it really hits home that Biden could have been doing whatever he wanted the last 4 years and simply chose not too.
Biden was never the guy to confront and defeat American fascism, he was just there to sell the liberals on it. And it went pretty smoothly.
In Ukraine, tensions are rife,
Trump's envoy suggested a truce, oh, what strife!
But Ukraine stood its ground,
No concessions were found,
A diplomatic dance of political life.

Hi Portland! It's finally not January (jfc that felt like forever), which means we'll be meeting up for monthly letter writing at Revolutions Bookshop. We had to cancel last month so I'm extra looking forward to getting back at it and seeing everyone.
The space is wheelchair accessible and directly off the bus line. Beginners and newcomers are always welcome. Bring a mask and some friends! Everything else is covered.
It survived!
My great grandmother made this Hawaiian quiltfor my grandfather. She started when he was a baby in the 1920's, put it aside, and finally finished it in the 1970's once she retired.
The one with the amazing portrait from last week. With a year she moved to Maui, having met her future husband there already.
So happy this made it!

This past week on my commute there has been someone writing homophobic and fascist stuff, so I've been covering it up. This is not to pat myself on the back, but to share how easy it is to carry a can of spray paint with you to make sure those things get covered as quickly as possible so that they know we are there to hold the line. Fascism is persistent, so we must be persistent as well.

Tobi Lutke, CEO of Shopify, Canada's second-largest company, is defending Trump’s tariff demands, and is blaming the Canadian Govt for not stopping trade war.
Absolutely disrespectfully, Tobi Lutke is a bootlicking traitorous dipshit. I think we need to start cancelling our Shopify accounts. We have our own tech bro wannabe oligarchy in Canada and they need to be shut down before they grow like the ones down south.
If there are better Canadian alternatives to Shopify, please share below.

another reason that gets missed/ignored as a partial explanation for amerikkka having fewer spontaneous riots and protests than other countries is the lower population density in amerikkka. People always say "look at what france does!" but amerikkka averages around 90 people per square mile while france averages around 300. of course there's plenty of other reasons why amerikkkans are loathe to get out in the streets, but this is one i don't see mentioned too often
lower population density has a wide variety of effects on the ability of the populace to quickly gather en masse. amerikkkans are incredibly isolated and not just because of (lack of) culture, there's car infrastructure, suburban environments, few community spaces, etc.
i think examining physical and geographic impediments to collective action can be just as important as understanding the political reasons people decide to stay home
You have the power to make change as a nonbinary person.
It doesn’t matter how many disregard you because you are “too complicated” for them to want to understand, or how many times your needs are considered irrelevant.
You will always have the power to change the world.
