If it fits, it sits? There is clearly a 🚫 on top of that 6ft ladder. #Caturday

“Rape enabling republicans” is an easy phrase to say that is accurate

It's bleak that Serious News Outlets will tie themselves into knots writing headlines that obscure the horrors of a story while @people.com just waltzes in and calls it like it is.

Seen this story all day today. Every headline says "27 year old Minnesota man..." I have yet to see one with the headline that the man was Somalian. The most maligned and denigrated group in Minnesota www.goodmorningamerica.com/news/story/2...

US garment workers helped pioneer multi-ethnic labor unions, which united people across racial, religious, gender, linguistic, and cultural divides. Also native-born citizens and immigrants. I think about that sometimes when I see people suggest such divides are unbridgeable.

The thing with the billionaires is they won’t fucking leave us alone. It would be one thing if they made some product or service, fucked off, paid their bills and paid for rivers of cocaine or gold covered loincloths or whatever. But they insist society be structured around their every whim.

Trump opened a hotline to report people who defraud the government. Meanwhile, he's pardoned 70+ fraudsters — including a nursing home owner who stole $1.3B+ from Medicare and Medicaid. Many pardons only came after their family members gave to Trump's Super PAC. Hello?

This year alone, New Yorkers have reported more than 188,000 incidents of domestic violence. That's 780 incidents every day. Countless others go unreported. If you or someone you love needs help, call 1-800-621-HOPE or visit on.nyc.gov/hotlinechat.

Kroger just announced the largest layoffs in its history, with plans to cut 3,000 employees as it ramps up use of AI. Reminder that Kroger has spent $12.3B on stock buybacks since 2019 and paid its CEO $14M last year — 417x its median worker's pay. AI is turbo-charging corporate greed.

Netflix is laying off 1,000 workers — its largest layoff ever. In 2025, Netflix had a net income of $11 billion (up 26%). Its CEO was paid $53M (255x more than the median employee). And it just raised prices for the second time in just over a year. Corporate greed in a nutshell.

Old article but still on the news.I ain't no detective or nothin' but "they're looking for valuables"? Without tools? Without loot bags? Waders and headlamps are an investment. How about it's some weird club/game? It's been months, nothing taken or damaged and "authorities" still don't have a clue?

This is Autumn. She was found in a trailer home with demodex mange alongside four other dogs after their owner passed away. All five require antibiotics and parasiticide medication, and Autumn also needs medicated baths. You can help them below ❤️‍🩹 bit.ly/4AYLpKP

Man who won’t give his employees piss breaks claims many piss breaks on the horizon

email from Pinterest "no one sees it like you". I read "no one likes you"-- whoa, harsh. Clearly I'm not pinning enough.

Someone should really, really adopt Cid. This cat is the kind of cat who will take your love and return it tenfold. I don’t have enough words for him— kind, curious, charming, full of personality & presence. This is the kind of cat who will be someone’s soul cat. Elkton, MD. Apply: bit.ly/4cOmi21

Who do I need to talk to, in Canada, to get them to seriously consider annexing Michigan?

Re-watching "Under the Banner of Heaven" and 9-year old Carina Battrick's performance of Jenny Lafferty is just so incredible.

At a time when the most influential leaders of the U.S. need to stand up loudly and clearly for the rule of law, they are leading the charge in the opposite direction. But not Jack Smith. Kudos to him for continuing to be a much needed voice of clarity.

Since no one will do it for me, please allow me a moment to gloat over winning my fantasy baseball championship Thank you for you attention to this matter!

Donald Trump is not himself the disease of our politics. He’s just the worst symptom. The disease is the system that allows corporations to buy and sell politicians so they can rig it against the rest of us. Money out of politics. Money in your pocket. Medicare for All.

Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024. In 2025, he made 1,794x more. And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers? I will continue my boycott of Starbucks.

DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.

A very dear cat mom friend of ours has really been going through it with one of her boys she rescued off the street. He’s been dealing with recurrent painful urination because of bladder stones. Despite medication & urinary diet, he needs them removed with surgery. www.gofundme.com/f/help-fund-...

Our wobbly former gas station employee Kickstand is ready to find his own forever home! He has a mild case of cerebellar hypoplasia (“CH”), which gives him a cute high-stepping gait & sometimes he falls over when he gets too excited. He doesn’t have any problems eating or w/litterbox! bit.ly/4cOmi21
