The Michigan Progressive Caucus is fired up and ready to get money out of politics, put money in your pocket, and pass Medicare for All! Gone are the days of politicians telling us what we cannot have and should not fight for.

OK Michiganders, let’s steer this group towards good and away from corporate centrism.

Bitterness and cynicism are a form of surrender, when anger at injustice remains but the will to confront it is dulled by resignation. As true warriors, let anger at injustice be bright and righteous, and let it drive us to confront its cause, stand in its way, and cast it down.

A lot of people’s problems with injustice and cruelty is that they don’t like being aware of it and would do anything to go back to pretending that nothing is wrong

I’ve been told by people with visual impairments that the “be brief and concise” advice is generally wrong for personal photos and art, and you should use as much detail as you want. If it’s too long for them they can easily skip over.

When I joined Bluesky last April there was a strong atmosphere of "we're going to block trolls on sight here, not feed them". I will freely admit that I'm not perfect about this so I just wanted to put it out there as a reminder to everyone but myself as well: BLOCK, DON'T ENGAGE. 💪

You've been kidnapped. The characters from the last tv show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who is coming to save you?

This should work out really well. Get rescued, learn a lesson, maybe get a hot dog. Though I currently have on another show, in which case… well, maybe Carl will give me a cheap beer and a hot rod magazine.

I would humbly argue that the Missouri AG arguing that an innocent person should be kept on death row because to reopen his case would destabilize the system is proof that the system most motherfucking definitely needs to be destabilized.

Big news today: StL Co. Prosecuting Attorney Wesley Bell is seeking to vacate Marcellus Williams' conviction. The MO AG thinks that revisiting wrongful convictions destabilizes the criminal legal system. So, yeah, expect the state to fight this. theintercept.com/2024/01/29/m...

Trader Joe’s United said it’s *not* calling for a customer boycott at this time in response to the company arguing the NLRB is unconstitutional. But they *are* asking people to sign a customer strike pledge if they call for a boycott in the future. Sign here: actionnetwork.org/forms/stand-...

This is supremely fucked. *And* I’m going to wait to see what the unionized workers of Trader Joe’s United call for customers to do in response. Like @taliajane.bsky.social said on the hellsite, collective action is better for workers than slowly declining sales they could use to lay people off

HEY! My LGBTQIA friends! I love you and am so glad to have you in my life, even if it's just being ridiculous on twitter. You are not replaceable. You're loved and needed. Thank you for being amazing.

We were the Arsenal of Democracy against Fascism. Now against Climate Change. This is the direct result of first Dem trifecta in almost 30 years. This could be every purple state (if they get rid of gerrymandering, expand voting rights, find some great women to run for all the statewide offices).

The library being "the last real third space" isn't a reason to keep adding new responsibilities to the library; it is a reason to create more third spaces.
